My VSG is scheduled for early August, and I am now trying to learn as much as I can about the procedure, life-style changes that I will have to make, and sharing the journey with others. I am reading through My Hungry Head and am interested in preventing the weight gain that others report on after surgery after have lost so much weight, that is, head hunger vs. real hunger and applying it now before surgery. Also, I'm wondering about how hungry I might be with the diet the week before surgery. Thank you for the Connect community.
