Hello, is there any one from Ireland still on here,

I see the psychologist on the 23th and im dreading it as I gained 2kg snd my consultant wasent happy so im expecting her to say sorry your not ready, my heart goes out to you hope you get it sorted xx

Thank you I wish my consultant was impressed, Im having it in Galway there is no support group there so ive set up a group on facebook, ive not met any one from Ireland that had it but hopefully that will change. they seem to change the way they go about it every few months so I just wish I had mine. im getting things sorted so that il be ready for when i get the call

Hi ladies Ive not been on lately had a few issues and now thats sorted im just waiting for a date I se the physiologist on the 23th so anytime after that Im hoping for an october date. I agree Anna its great to hear from an Irish person who has had the operation as you would get confused with all the others talking about the liquid diet for up to 4 weeks after the operation, thank you Nelly for sharing it with us

hello how are you doing now

your right I felt like saying if it was that easy I would not be here, thank you for your kind words x

Hi All I started my journey 12mts ago, last January I was put on the 6mts weight loss program, 3mts was the milk only diet. that all finished 2 weeks ago & on the last day I had gained 2kg, my consultant was angry but I explained and asked him to look at my legs as I suffered with odema, He said do you think your ready for this operation I said yes more than ready, he said I'll see how you are in 6wks, the week before he said he was prioritizing me for my operation then everything changed, yesterday I heard that they were dropping me from the program, now they haven't told me myself but another person going to them was told that they can now push her up the ladder as they were dropping the lady that had regained in the last group, this person hasent done any the weight loss program, but has all the other test done, im seeing the physiologist on the 23th of august this is the last of my pr-op test to be done, ive sent an e-mail to my consultant to let him know the date as he asked me to let him know, I'm so angry that I could loose this operation over a 2kg gain, Ive tried ringing the co-ordinator who I get on well with but she hasent returned any of my calls,

Thank you its been hard and it seems to get harder day by day the want me to lose more weight than what I have done aghhh but it will be worth it in the end

congrats and well done you deserve this, have fun sampling the menus xxx

congrats and well done Kurt, you give the rest of us who are on the waiting bench encouragement xx

the best of luck on your new journey x

I started this journey with no one knowing only my dr & I, the reason I needed head space this is to save my life not for vanity so before I told anyone I had to be strong & Not allow negativity into my decision, once I was strong I only told my family & very close friends there was a bit of negativity but now they can see this is for me its not the easy way out, the best of luck but you have to do what is for you xx

best of luck and were all here for you x

its low fat milk diet, its different everywhere some places they allow you a sml meal but my dr's said no. so I had 350mls of milk every 2hrs starting at 8am finishing at 10pm but I also had a boullion drink at 2pm for salt intake & tonight is my last nigh of it

I had a friend that told me i was selfish, I was taken the easy way out, so I stopped meeting her for coffee & chats told her I wont & don't do negativity, I was put on the milk diet she laughed & said you will crumble, this week I met her the first time in almost 11 weeks her face fell she was shocked not alone did I do the diet but you can see the weight loss that night she rang me to say I was an inspiration as she COULD NOT DO THE MILK DIET FOR 1 WEEK, your friend needs to see your serious and her negativity isn't welcome, good luck on your journey x

congrats, best wishes and enjoy your journey xx
