I'm so excited! I received my approval today and completed my pre-admissions. My surgery is scheduled for April 25 at 8:00 am. I'm on day four of my liquid diet and so far, I've had no headaches, hunger pains nor have I been "hangry"!!!

Surprisingly I'm doing great too! Two shakes per day and soup at night have kept me sustained. Even taking my grand daughter to McDonalds yesterday was tough, i took my shake with me! I'm allowed yogurt so that was my treat. In four days, I was down six pounds so that made me smile.

Way to go!!!!!!! I feel this pre op is very worth it. It gives us an idea of how it will be post surgery except we will not have the hunger then except head hunger, which we are learning to conquer now!!! Keep it up!!!!! Love how relatable your journey is to mine!!!

This journey has been an eye opener for me. It taught me how much I used food as a crutch. Anything going on, I ate! I'm so happy I'm learning to refocus my emotions when something is happening.
