That means such a lot to me, I am not telling anyone except my hubby and I'm going on my own because of the extra cost for him to come so knowing you're all here is heartwarming. I reciprocate the gesture and hope I can help and support anyone in return.

I only told my partner, 3 children and my sister but since the op i have told some people.. im proud of my band and dont really care what they say or think, i didnt think that b4 my op tho lol, i thought everyone would think i was cheating and taking the easy way out, how wrong. It is still hard work and you still have to watch what you eat. When is your op x

30th June, I just booked it a couple of days ago. I'm really excited about whats ahead and losing weight but I guess I've the same apprehensions as a lot of folks get. I'm just really emotional about it all just now because of what losing and keeping weight off will mean to me. I'm sure everyone on this site can relate to that:smile2:

Oh fatduck please don't be scared, there are lots of us going through it and I went on the ups and downs of wanting to do it and then not - Dr Chris and Frederik are so wonderful, they answer all questions over and over again and put you at your ease. The hospital staff are very very good and there's lots of them and they all speak English. It is so good to receive such professional treatment (and I work for the NHS!). So please don't worry, the success rate is 100%.

Hey Westie, glad to see your back safe and sound. Hope your positive attitude will continue to see you through. And you know what, you won't have to say no to choc and ice cream, but you will be able to see how badly having a lot of that kind of thing will affect you.

Can't wait to hear of your journey into losing!

:)

Few others who have lost recently well done, I have been trying to cut down but Im not fitting into my jeans tonight, I think i'm kidding myself, lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
