ive got alot of wind in my chest which is sore and a headache is this normal im also drinking quite a lot - is that alright- i dont feel full yet

well after all that worrying the surgeon just told me I was a text book operation - and took less than an hour the liver was small and there was not a lot of fat around it. Hopefully i will be out tuesday night. I hate to say this but im sort of enjoying the break. Dalite

EXCITED NERVOUS TERRIFIED HOPEFULL SCARED All of the above and so much more and of course I WANT TO CHANGE MY MIND!!! Anybody out there having second third and 10th thoughts? Could this be the beginning of my new life- ive even been looking at skinny clothes on the internet. Woo hoo me and Yay.!!!! Keep you all posted Thank you all so much for all your support and advice. xxxxxxxx:crying::confused1::scared0::001_rolleyes::thumbup::biggrin0::001_tt2::drool::001_wub::laugh0::001_cool::cursing::001_tt1::cool::tongue2::biggrin2: and lots more thoughts xxxxx Dalite

Im not great at these things but dont the sugars in fruit turn to carbs= make the liver bigger?

My surgery is on sunday. The diet says cheese, yoghurts chicken fish and no fruit at all. Needless to say i havent stuck to it but have been having 4 shakes/soups a day from a previous diet i bought-(like slim fast) with a few little treats. Ive lost over 10 pounds in nearly 2 weeks so im hoping thats ok. My surgery is at 5pm and i only have to completely fast for 6 hours before no other instructions. Dalite xxx

hi all. My op is on sunday and my tummy is so wibbly and excited and nervous. I saw the anethingy man he told me i may be sick or dizzy but i wasnt worried after reading your posts. cant believe this is like a complete rebirth. All i can think of is next summer swimming costume and not the fatest whale on the beach. With 4 young children i will be able to run around and be the mum i want to be. Dalite x

Congratulations you amazing women. My op is on Sunday and Im the only one (so send me some hugs please). You sound great - up already. Your posts are helping to calm my nerves. Dalite xxxx

Thanks everyone for all your amazing advice so far. The next question bothering me is could someone expailn what usually happens after the operation in terms of food/ quantities/ types how you feel in the first few weeks etc. Im a bit confused (actually im always a bit confused so i cant blame the operation) When can you start to eat again. And finally I know its a personal thing and i dont really want to think about it but can someone tell me in terms of 1-10 whats the pain like. Thanks again everyone. Dalite

Thank you so much for the advice especially on the "pain " question. Getting so excited -is it strange to be looking forward to a few days in hospital away from the kids? Even my husband is talking about "next summer" Ive never ever been slim so I am a little unsure about what and who I will be. Yay me !!! Dalite x

Im usually so smiley and happy but at the moment i feel so crap. I cant stick to my really simple preop diet - what hope is there for me. Im really worried and scared and so unsure now. Everything was great a month ago but as the date gets closer i seem to have gone to pieces. The kids are suffering and my mum is flying over from the uk to help out. I think i must be a little depressed but shouldnt i be happy? Help Im crying as i write this .

The more I read the more excited I get. 6 more days to go. Yay me. Good luck. Dalite

im currently tucking in to a slice of cheese cake as i write this- why oh why am i sabotaging this diet. ive only been on my pre op diet for less than 2 days. Im seriously considering cancelling the op how can i be so stupid Help!:laugh0:

Its funny (or not ) how lonely we feel. I have the same feelings but have never had the courage to say them. Well no more... Sunday the 29th is MY DAY the beginning of the rest of my life (yay me ). Now im excited thank you all, xxxxx. Dalite

Hi all Thank you so much for your support.. I have had the most amazing journey in the last 12 months. I closed my art gallery / coffee shop in liverpool uk last christmas. Packed up my husband 4 kids and house (that was hard) and emmigrated to Israel in March. Got the kids settled, nick the husband found a job ive been working a little - now im having the most life changing operation and i wonder why i got depressed last week!! Anyway even with tucking into the cake i managed to lose 4 pounds. (yay me) I used to be on a very expensive diet - lighter life last year in the uk and have still got 4 days of shakes left so im going to go on those for the last four days as i find it easier to have 4 shakes a day rather than think about food. Thank you all so so so much for your support. I will keep everyone upto date with whats occuring (happening) much love and hugs of support back to you all. Dalite.xxxxx Ps ive got my smile back!!!!

ahhh ----Im so scared, here i am on the first day of the rest of my life. 2 weeks to go (29th nov). My pre op diet is mainly yoghurt and cottage cheese? I have 4 kids and no one to help my husband while im in hospital for 4 days, so my mum is coming over from england to babysit - yay! I feel so many emotions- including an anger with myself for not having the strength / will power to do it without surgery. But really excited and very nervous - its almost like i feel its not really going to happen. Help!!:thumbup1:

Thank you Norma. Well day 1 of my pre op diet was great - i can even have 250g of chicken. Looking forward to the op a little more now. Im even thinking of what to pack. thanks again Dalite x
