It'll all be o.k. You'll do fine. I was nervous as a, well I won't say, but I was nervous too. You have a week left, use this time wisely and think about the outcome in the long run. Think about things like how great you're going feel, how great you're going to look, and how much healthier you're going to be. I am in Texas and didn't have to do the pre-op diet so I have no clue what you're going through there, but good luck on everything, and it'll all be over before you know it. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi there and welcome to LBT! How are you doing on the pre-op diet? I know it can be tough at times, but it is so worth it in the end. Let us know if you have any questions and how you are doing.

Hi there,thankyou for warm welcome. West Midlands is in Birmingham United Kingdom. I am 4 days into pre-op diet which is 3 pints of semi-skimmed milk,2 low fat yoghurts and 1 stock cube a day! Thats it lol Day 2 was the hardest,felt really headachey and moody.I dreamt about eating-then jumped wide awake as I was scared I had eaten! Counting down the days now-7 to go,really excited.

My BMI is 44,dieted most of my life with no longterm success. Finally I managed to finance the sugery myself,when referals from my Doctor had got nowhere. I have just typed in lapband on youtube,and watched the surgery process and spent most of this morning in tears! But,Im in no doubt Im doing the right thing,and I am positive I will suceed in the weight loss.

This site will be my helping hand,and its great to hear so many positive words.:tt2:
