Hello, I'm new.
Hi,
I just wanted to introduce myself to this board. My name is Iris, I live in Los Angeles, and I'm getting my VSG tomorrow (!). The main thoughts going through my head are:
1: OMG! OMG! OMG! etc
2: I know this is weird, but I am on day two of the clear liquid diet and I feel like I am going through food withdrawel. Is that even possible?
Anyway, I am beyond excidted about the surgery, but also a little frightened. This is just a step, but a big one, and I don't want to screw it up.
Thanks all.

Hi Tink,
I'm sitting in my hospital be right now. Yesterday was mostly a painful drugged blur, but today I am feeling pretty well and have even walked around a couple of times and I'm able to sip a little water.
The side of my torso really hurts, but it already feels like it is slowly getting better. It took me a long time to awaken from the anesthetic, but by 4pm or so I was able to feel a little more normal (my sugery was at 7am).
I'll be out of here by tomorrow if everything goes well, my surgeon says.
Thanks fol all your kind thoughts.

Welcome, I'm fairly new too. My surgery is in two weeks and I wonder how I will cope with the two day clear fluids. Your feelings are normal. I am excited and scared as well.
This will be great for us, I'm sure. Fear of screwing up is what will stop you from doing so.
good luck tomorrow.

All the best in your recovery and your new relationship with your body and food!
Today, I thank God for this beautiful body and all the creations of this earth, for the blessings I am given and reminding myself that I will honour God and His creations and myself by consuming only enough to sustain life.
