Hi fatpants that made me laugh about your husband looking at bikes.. he'll be thinking you wont be able to say anything cos your having that much money spent on you for the band, i think id rather the band than a bike tho. Just tell him he'll have to get one with a big side car for all of you, that should put him off lol x

God this forum has got so quiet
Naughty flirtylass :biggrin: its so busy here I can hardly keep up what with - working, snowballing and panicking. But this thread is such a source of info and support, it brings some sanity to my rushed life. You are doing so well, the whole group of post bandsters are such an inspiration, to us wannabees. Keep on posting. PLEASE. :thumbup:

Dear Gillian,

I have know idea has I haven't had the band fitted yet, but I suspect If you do get them you should make sure you chew each mouthful 20 times then it's sure to be like puree for going down, might give you sore chaw though!!!!:biggrin:

Fatpants

yes, fatpants, i am just gonna try em..i will soon find out wont i!..gonna chew em well and savour em! ill let you know...i did try a little bit of well done toast with Beans this morning..the beans went down well, but even though it says you can have dry or stale(yak) bread, or toast in the instructions...the toast still hurt, mind you it was a thick almost doorstep slice i cut for myself!..i think its the end of me eating bread!..gillian x

Hope your ok x

Hi mmm. Hope your preparations are going well. I'm sure travel will be ok for next week, will be keeping fingers crossed. Don't be looking to sister gillian for your post band diet advice, not recommended! Have you got all your stuff packed? You will probably be done this time next week won't you? We are all counting down with you, bigsister x

I need to allow about 3.5 to 4 hrs and that is if all the road are not delayed because of snow, I get on the M4 about quarter mile from my house then its one road all the way to Heathrow so fingers crossed the M4 will be open ok. Its closed today so I would'nt have got through, I'm getting Migraine thinking about it. But I've just decided that if the weather is still bad I might try to make my way to closer to the airport on night before and find a travel lodge or something, and hope the flights are still running.

I wind myself up so easily; I went to the doctors for my annual MOT and my blood pressure was up to 187 its never been more that 130 before and is usually 124, so I've got to go back every morning now. I hav'nt told my doctor about being banded, so I hope this wont effect anything.

Yes its a week today, snow willing, I think I got everything I need, but I've got palpitations, high blood pressure and Migraine, just thinking about it. I'll be a nervous wreck by the time I get there,and Im not going into the unknown like some of you, as I went through it all with my daughter. You must have been so scared.

But I am so glad you are all doing so well,and I am reading this thread daily even if I dont reply. That reminds me Lewis Abbey and mum must be feeling the same as me, I'll give her a quick pm cause I know shes very busy with her toddlers. xxmmmxx

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
