SParkle

Good luck - I wrote all mine down, and went thru them all, no matter how silly they sounded, and even have some others for my pre op consult as well on Thursday, as more things occur I just write them down to ask. They've heard it all before, and you can't go into this too prepared in my opinion. Let us know how you get on, Kathy

Good to hear it all went well.... I guess every day will just get better and better from here on in.... well done on the 12lbs off.... awesome start. Kathy

Pnw218 - some good tips there- thanks....I have a feeling I may tell more people in the end, but feel cautious to start with as you did. Thanks for sharing. Kathy

I suppose I am already pre-planning in one way as I have managed to loose just under 19lbs since November on Weight Watchers, so I've had a lot of comments about that. At the moment I have stalled a bit - I think as I am sorting thru my head with my decision to have the sleeve, plus we've had visitors, and have also been away, so I am setting up the fact that I'm going to get more shifted soon... as hubby is on his diet now as well he is spurring me on...so I hope they just think that I've sorted myself out.

Congrats to you both!!

I can't believe how quick this time is passing... under 4 weeks to go now until mine.... good luck to peeps starting their pre ops next week. I have my pre op tests on Friday, so will find out mine then - am dreading that part!!! Kathy

Hi Michelle I don't even know what my pre op diet is yet, and fear I will have the same sticking issues... but hope I have the strength behind me to stick with it. My advice to you - 9 more days for something which will change the rest of your life?? Its a no brainer.... try to occupy your mind with anything other than food, clearing out cupboards, clothes, borrow some good films off someone... get stuck into a good book....go to bed! lol!!! Coachs idea is good with listing the reasons why you want to do this, and perhaps stick that on your fridge with a really bad photo of you that you hate??? Good luck - and so many congrats on the 2 stone loss - amazing!!! Kathy

Breezy - I swear by this one all the time, and make friends use it too.... and it works for them. I think it stretches the muscle which causes the hiccups, thus stopping it convulsing and stopping the hiccups. Kathy

HI and welcome. Good luck with your sleep study... let us know how you get on with it Kathy

Fantastic news - and not long to wait for it either now!! Good luck - let us know how you get on. Kathy

Thanks - I think sometimes I just think too much about things!! I love the waving about in the air bit tho!!

Thats a great result!! Well done. Can't wait to be posting the same!! ( Still can't believe I can/will but that'll happen eventually). Keep up the good work Kathy

Hope its going well... keep us informed when you can.

Kzol - sounds like you got a fabulous surgeon. For me I know I was thrilled with my results, and after years of sagging I finally have a pair i am proud of.

Great inspiration!! They have to be keepers to remind you of your journey. Thanks for sharing.

Good to hear things are getting better... hope the golf is enjoyable!

I didn't have implants, and to be honest didn't need them.... but my nipples weren't detached, as I only had a lift and not a reduction. If they remove your nipples then I think you loose the sensitivity - if not then they are fine - mine weren't removed and they're just great. But I haven't regained all my sense of feeling around the other incisions... and that is coming up for 4 yrs ago now. As for the gallery of boobs........ LOL - don't google the word!!!

Many thanks - I've ordered one... I think it'll help me thru the aftermath!!!

Congrats!! - Not long now. Sorry for the delay in replying but we've been away for a few days in our motorhome - down to Cordoba and Sevilla.... fabulous places!!

Wild Iris - you got me thinking, maybe we should have t-shirts done - I'm in the June Club!!! LOL

Fab photos!! What a difference Jane!! You must be thrilled with the results. Thanks for posting. Kathy

What a fab 50th birthday present to yourself tho.....!! Good luck - let us know when you have the date. Kathy

HI Sam and welcome I'm in on June 10th.... and theres quite a few of us with dates for June, so you're likely to find one on the same day too. I'm still waiting to hear what my pre op diet will be - I think the not knowing is worse!! Good luck and keep us informed Kathy

Mmmm - Tiff this is like a recipe I have for Parmesan crisps - a little pile of parmesan cheese done the same way.... great for a side with a salad or Soup, and as its a strong cheese they satisfy with smaller portions. Kathy
