difficult times!!

I feel really sooooo bloody hungry and irritable!!!! I am having to distract myself and keep busy which is difficult as my energy levels are low.

Today felt so strange not having my usual Sunday dinner.

On the positive side though, I have been on the pre op diet a week now and been really good

Ticking the days off the calendar now and my op day can't come soon enough now.

Keep telling myself to keep going!!

Have a good evening everyone xx

Heya Excitedbutnervous

Great to hear that your sounding so positive!! All the best with your pre op diet. You will do just great. I think your diet sounds really nice Hun. I wish mine contained more variety and options but hey ho.

I must admit I am not finding it easy but I am following it to the rule. I feel absolutely starving all the time and my energy levels are low.

On the positive side, I feel slimmer and healthier already

We are on the countdown together now. Our op day will be here in no time. It's so exciting!!

Speak soon and keep up the good work

You're so positive hun and like you say the op isn't far off now, this 2 weeks will be but a distant memory once you're a skinny minnie

 

[Su2ie]

The pre op diet really is the hardest bit!!! Sounds like you are all doing great! I only had to do 10 days though I actually did 12 but don't know how I would have coped with 3 or 4 weeks!!
It is super hard but stay focussed and you'll get through it, it's a step closer to your goal

 

[excitedbutnervous]

Really excited. Yesterday was difficult and didn't quite go to plan but I think some of that is the mental issue that I don't HAVE to start until Wednesday. I will do this and cannot wait for the two weeks to come

May need to change my name to VeryExcitedButNervous. Haha

16 days to go!!!

 

[violetangel]

Feeling really positive today I have felt much better the last couple of days!

Headaches and nausea have gone and the hunger has subsided. my energy levels are better too and my skin looks great!!

Doing the LSD has made me realise how much I was eating before. Huge dinners and unhealthy snacks and drinks. It wasn't hunger it was emotional eating.

12 days to go now until op and counting down!!

Have a great day everyone xx

I am feeling pretty determined now. We have our big team meal out tonight and it is to Inamo in London which does sushi, Thai food etc.

I have scanned through the menu and the choices are limited so I am going to make the best choice I can. It's hard though as this is a big celebration and my natural instincts are to celebrate with food and alcohol. Well that has to be the old me eh!

Hi Hun

You should enjoy the occasion Hun. You will be fine, just eat lots of protein based stuff and avoid sauces. That's the advice that I was given by my bariatric nurse.

Let me know how it goes!!

Well I am back from the event early and choose not to eat or drink, instead returned to the safety of my hotel food

Yes I was sad that I didn't stay and I am sure the gossips are wagging their tongues, but doing this is for me. There will be other meals, other celebrations.

Proud of myself. 7 days to go
