Just checked my emails and Hooray, Fred can do my Op on 11th Sept....great news.
I haven't been on for days, as I was dragged camping with 3 of my buddies (Heidi, Nicky and Vicky). It was A BIT wet but great fun to catch up again.
I stopped off to spend the night at Mums in Bristol on Sunday, after Adi's christening (Teddy).
My brother was at my Mums, which was good as I had to break the news to him that I was moving my Op date forward and wanted Mum to come instead of him. He was Ok about it.....
Previously, my sister had told me that Mum was worried about me having the Op and wanted to be in Brussels with me. Her holiday was stopping her coming before but I've managed to get some time off and she is coming.
I dont know what work will say if they ever find out. I've booked the same 2 days off as my Deputy, which shouldnt really happen but who cares !!!:cursing: I dont want to wait any longer.......6 weeks is killing me.
Good nite
It's Saturday night and I am starting to think, that this time next week, my op will be over and I will probably be sat in the Hotel room, feeling starving !!
I am starting to look forward to my op now, as I know that it will be the start of my new life, losing all this weight I have gained over the years. It will soon be gone and hopefully I will have the confidence to start dating again and living my life to the full.
Got my eyes on a guy at the golf club. My friend has told him that she is planning a dinner date for him next FEBRUARY but not said who with !!!!!!!!!
The theory is that I will feel confident enough by then to go out with him........anyway he doesnt know who its with but hes said YES !
The good thing is that I know there is already a spark there but neither of us have done anything about it..........so this could be it or at least its something to focus on for now.

Last night my Mum called and asked me if my brother could also come to Brusells with us, as she thought it would be company for us both, especially while I'm in hospital.
I managed to email Fred to ask him for a 3 bed room at the hotel (dont know if there is such a thin), maybe a family room but I haven't heard back from him yet.
Well, I posted off my deposit to Brussells today, so roll on 11th September....I cant wait. Only thing left to do now is book the flights, which I will do once I know if my brother is coming :cursing:
I also make friends with Jackie who lives in Bristol and is having her op today. Hopefully we can meet for a coffee over the next few months as she only lives in Bedminster. :cursing:
Hooray, I had a reply from Fred today. He has booked the Hotel for 3 of us but now I have to wait to see if my brother wants to come, cus its goin to cost him £88 !!
So, I'm defo booked for the 11th Sept. that was a relief, I realised today that it is only about 4 weeks away......Im really excited and cant wait to start losing weight again.
My Tesco delivery man came tonite with my painkillers, wipes & windeze. Just got to find some 'sweetie' like multivitims !! :frown:
I need to dig out my old joggy bottoms to see what fits and what I may need to buy. I think I will go to Matalan to get a spare pair (cheap and disposable!!!) to keep me going.

Well time is moving closer to 11th Sept and I am starting to get excited. It feels like I've got this big secret that no one knows about !!!
I finally booked my flights today for Mum, Brett and I. What a pickle, the prices have seemed to have rocketed. I managed to get £50 off by going with Last minute.com, which is with the same flight provider.
I'm just waiting on Fred confirming the Hotel with me and receipt of my deposit and then its all systems go.
Managed to find a good Euro exchange rate 1.15 from a company online. I will check with my sister Louise before I proceed, you never know I might get a better deal.
11pm just going to bed and discovered that I can have a blog page on this website. Hooray !
Thought it would be good to track my thoughts and feelings before my op.
Had a good read through lots more threads tonite on DAKDCDB.
Found out lots of info tonite :
Take milk thistle to shrink your liver ??
Need baby wipes to freshen up after surgery ?
Bring waterproof plasters
How to put on Ticker on my messages
Going to bed know but will explain more tomoro.

Another late night, 10.45pm and thought I would make an effort to update my blog.
Had my hair done tonite, which has made me feel good. The other girl that was there said she may know a tiler, so I may in luck finishing my kitchen.....who knows!
Well, today I told my secretary Im having the band fitted. I have sworn her to secrecy as I dont want it going around work. She seems pleased for me but says she wouldnt have the courage to do it her self.
I checked out if there was any chance I could take holiday from 10th - 15th Sept. and to my surprise I am able to get it off. The only problem is that I havent told my boss that my deputy is already off that week.....but who cares, they will have to cope for a change, its only 2 days !!
You may be wondering why I was looking for this date off ? Well, my sister tells me that my Mum is still not happy for me to have the op, especially now she cant be with me as she is on holiday from 20th Sept - 4th Oct and Ive booked my op for 2nd Oct. Well to cut a long story short I thought if I could get these earlier dates off, she could come with me !
I dont think my brother is going to be pisssed when I dump him but I think it would make Mum happy if she could come. Also, it brings my op closer
I have emailed Fred tonite to ask him if the date is free, so providing it is I will change the date and tell me Mum next week.
I have received in the mail today my starter pack for my after care from WLS, so I'm going for a read before I go to bed.
Good nite. xx
