Hi Everyone I am booked in for surgery at Ashford hospital with Dr Anderson on May 14th, really scared that Im going to die (probably really stupid thoughts) :wink2: I find myself at night sometimes in tears, just the thought of leaving my husband and son behind scares the hell out of me :sad: Its nice to see people from Adelaide on here....I have found this website so helpful in preparing for everything. Its great to read everyones stories about their surgery days etc. And peple are on here are so caring towards each other. At the momemt Im starting my preop diet a week early but Im trying to get a head start......guess the more weight I lose before surgery the easier the surgery will be, well fingers crossed anyway.....The easier the surgery the less chance of dying right......sorry to put such a downer on things, its just nice to be able to talk to people about what Im feeling knowing that a lot of people have probably gone through the same feelings and thoughts. I have felt like a blimp for so many years now, I am so determined now to get the weight off. Fingers crossed I get through it. My mother in law once said to me after she lost over 60kgs from a stomach bipass, "Does it upset you to think you will never ever fit into these clothes? " :cursing:What a cow:cursing: This has given me so much determination to lose the weight.....I cant believe so many people out there are so insensitive....Have any of you had comments like that from family that has really hurt you? Or do I have the only mother in law from HELL Anyway enough of my babbling on and on Fingers crossed for me so I can tell my mother in law to BITE MY BUM

Hi Everyone I have my surgery booked for May 14th and am very scared and nervous

Hi Guys Im getted banded on May 14th :rolleyes2: My doctor has told me to be on my pre op diet for two weeks before surgery optifast shake for breakfast optifast shake for lunch lean meat and veg or salad for dinner plus maximum 2 pieces of fruit for snaks during the day Im getting a bit worried after reading everyone elses diets, think I may be having too much:ohmy: Im going to start the diet a week early. Have already lost almost 10kg since last appointment with surgeon :crying:

Hi Everyone, Firstly i'd love to say thankyou to all those people that have written stories about their surgey days, you have no idea how helpful they have been to me. I was scared out of my wit that I am going to die, but after reding about 50 or so stories I feel so much better, I finf myself in tears at night wrrying that I am going to die and leave my husnband and beautiful 6 year old boy alone without me :crying: I am a big cry baby as it is, the thought opf going to hosptial is scaring me so much. I have never had an operatio before, but Im going to be brave, well try to anyway :laugh: Its 27 days till my surgery date, I am booked in on may 14th at the Ashford Hospital in Adelaide, with one of the best docotors in Australia.......I dont know why on earth Im worrying....My docotor told me to go on the liqud diet (Optifast) for two weeks prior to my surgery date as he wants me to lose about 3kg before I go under.... I thought I would be a good girl and cut out all the crappy food and softdrinks. and yipeee Ive lost almost 10kg so Im on my way :crying: Anyway I will stop babbling on and on :rolleyes2:

The thought of losing weight is just (oh my god Im lost for words) Hope to get to know everyone!!! Trish :thumbup:
