Alison that looks good. If I remember rightly its low carb, high protein liquids only for first 2 days so watch for carb content in the slim fasts. Are you going to have anything else later?

Good luck hunxxx

Hi Brett, excited and nervous and not looking forward to milk diet. I hope to sleep through the entire week! Have now booked a hotel room nearby to Dolan Park hosp for my husband so it all seems completely real now.

Get nervous as everyone does as to whether something could go wrong, although the odds are in my favour. Touch wood!

This forum is so incredibly helpful with pre and post op people all there for support. I can't tell you how much this has helped as have felt quite isolated in my decision to have it done . It has taken a couple of years to make the decision. It seemed like something only celebs had done. My family are now all in support of me as the Yo-Yoing has been going on for so many years.
