The Final Countdown!

Hi all... well my operation will all be done this time next week... I am starting my 6 day milk diet tommorrow! Operation next sat (12th July)... I can't wait... so excited that I am finally getting it done after years of wishing could!

I never thought someone like me would be able to qualify for surgery given that my BMI is under 40... but I wish i'd enquired years ago now!!

I can't wait.......I just hope that I can cope with the milk diet given that I hate milk and it gives me a real bad stomach!! Oh well it'll be worth it in the end!

Good Luck Sal..... Its definatly all worth it, I was on a low cal pre op diet, not the milk one...

You will be fine...

Always here if you have anything I can help you with. I am now 2 weeks post op and no probs at all.

Wishing you all the very best.

Thanks all for your support... well first day hasn't been too bad so far but then it is a sunday & I have ha a really long lie in so havent really missed food!! lol

Off to a local support group now for my first meeting, they have a 30min talk today by the obesity surgeon from the nuffield in Cheltenham so that should be interesting. I'll let you know how it all goes!

I am on the milk diet and have been told I can flavour with vanilla essence or Crusha 'no sugar' Syrup. It makes such a difference. Can also use coffee, but I don't like it with no sugar!

Best of luck.

Thank you all of you for your support... I must admit I am a bit nervous now! Can't believe its actually happening tomorrow morning!! The milk diet has been awful bearing in mind i hate milk and it makes me gag! I don't ever want to drink any milk again! Although I have had some Soup cuz another surgeon told me they only suggest milk & yogurt diets because some people can't work out or manage a low calorie/low fat diet which is all that is required!

I'm so excited & nervous & worried & glad!! I can't decide what I am!
