Hello everyone. This is my first post. I am getting banded tomorrow in London, very excited with this new beginning!
I am not nervous, but can't wait to get done with it. Lost 4 kilos on the pre-op diet so far which is about 8lbs, but that is due to the fact that I have cheated on the pre op diet, could have been more. My dietitian advised me to have ago at the shakes only diet and that was a nightmare, I was hungry the entire day, could not work properly, not even drinking tons of Water helped. As I got closer, I stopped cheating, but only when I replaced one of my four daily shakes with some of the allowed vegetables. Spoke to dietitian about it and she was happy that I gave it a go and managed to loose some weight. I wasn't required to loose any beforehand from my doctor, he examined me and said I was fine the size I was for surgery, so maybe that is why I wasn't too disciplined.
My surgery is tomorrow evening 02/09. Wish me luck! Can't wait to go through this journey with everyone here!
