Hi Carly, It's actually ok, surgery went smoothly, first night was a bit uncomfortable but been managing with intravenus paracetamol, I also had antibiotics a few other bits like zoton. I'm still in hospital and Mr Humadi thinks I'm good to be released tomorrow, fingers crossed. I hope you like consommé soup and sugar free jelly, tea, coffee, plus Water obviously. You will be fine and will be completely worth it. I have no regrets. Xx

post surgery, Day 3 of fluids, seriously struggling to get them down, consomme Soup is vile..not missing eating at all but miss drinking Water with squash just get lots of uncomfortable bubbles/ burps.. any suggestions would be appreciated.. thanks in advance... xxx

I get my sleeve too tomorrow 24th, woken up feeling really nervous today, my nerves are 24hrs early lol Good luck to all of us. Hugs xxx

Hi tealover, Welcome. WOW, you are doing brilliantly. I would imagine you are feeling so much better after losing 4+stone. I have my sleeve done on 20th. I honestly can't wait, feel like I've got pre-diet under control, so far. How are you coping with 'normal' food? Do have problems with reflux etc? Take care Mary :-)

Hi Karina, I changed my start weight in my profile - its doesn't completely wipe everything out but it does give you the option to start afresh. If you want to add me you can: Marydixon68 or email maryd1xon@aol.com. KR Mary

I completely get the stairs, more than 2 flights and i'm buggered LOL Oh yes, sexy clothes at looonnnnggg last LOL

Hi Carly, Welcome. I'm Mary, 43yrs old, live in Maidenhead, Berkshire. I'm married with no children, unless you count twigs and georgie our cats LOL I've already started my pre-op diet, its pretty tough but think I'm winning the battle now - I have my operation on the 20th, can't wait. I want to start getting rid of my lard and have a normal life, when I don't have worry about buying clothes, sitting in chairs (and getting stuck) and finally getting in an aeorplane seat! LOL Have you got much to lose Carly? Take care Mary

Morning Ladies, Day two of pre-diet, it has to be better than day one! - feel more organised today for some reason. Well done to you both, you've nearly made it, its all good. I would imagine the scare factor goes up as the day gets closer, a day nearer your dream to be fit and healthy. I have read in a few places that the - pre-diet is worse than the surgery? LOL Have a lovely day. mary xx

Hey, I'm in Maideahead, Berkshire it's near Windsor. How have you got in with your pre-diet? I tried mine today, it was hard sticking to 800 cals. How much have you lost so far, I have around 220 lbs of lard to lose, how about you? KR Mary :-)
