Good idea, making a mental note to stay away from horror stories You have had workshops?? I've had nothing... I got a call from the hospital to say I'll be having my op in 2 weeks and to come in and have my stats taken etc. Then the diet. Ugh. It is awful. I am quite used to living low cal but this is something else (especially over Xmas!). I have found the NHS diet online but the NHS booked me in with a private hospital (which is lovely and I shouldnt complain), however their diet plan is even more restrictive than the NHS one... go figure... Interesting how different our stories are, considering we're in the same country! x

Happy Birthday!!! New Year, New You in every way, then

Hello J2 & Janey!! I'm feeling a bit anxious to be honest. Read so many stories on here that were more negative than positive. I'm trying to console myself that at least the surgery I'm having is reversible if things go wrong.... it all happened so quick, I feel unprepared! Have you been planning your ops for long?

Im at the same point as you - only that my surgery is this week!!! Worried and trying to convince myself that this is the right thing to do... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Great advice! I'll stick with my unflavoured and the few sweet samples I have thank you x Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh dear - I have a feeling we might have similar taste buds.... I remember looking forward to eating ice cream after my tonsil extraction and once they were actually out, ice cream seemed like the food of the devil! Just the thought would make me gag.... I was hoping they might allow me oat flour pretty soon after? I can make a savoury Soup out of that... just stock, oats and I guess I could add milk and unflavoured whey Protein to that also. I just cant see myself on a sweet diet - I do not have a sweet tooth.... x

Speaking of myprotein - what are the best flavours? I don't do sickly sweet, hence I bought the unflavoured. Apart from that I'd probably get the coffee one. Has anyone got any suggestions?

How was the recovery? I've read so many posts on here of some pretty terrible post op experiences. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm having my op on Thursday (mini bypass) - I've bought unflavoured whey Protein and some flavoured sample shakes from myprotein - oh and oat flour too. No idea what they recommend but I didn't want to come home just to have to go shopping.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
