GB Surgery, Thursday this week

[Val]

Well
I am sitting at my computer feeling rather worried to say the least,
You see I'm not the standard Bander, Im a lot older than most of you but I feel I am doing the right thing

Both my daughters have had the surgery and have lost loads of weight, so it finally spurred me on

I'm on day 6 Milk diet and let me tell you, Boy I have found it hard going, I would just love some soup instead of milk, I'm just wanting something savoury, any ideas how to get through the last 2 days...Oxo cube isn't quite the same as a hot mug of soup, Oh what I would do for a soup, lol

Well I'm loving looking at all your wonderful threads, many of you are true inspirations!!!

I'm having a bypass Thursday, but no milk diet I've just had low sugar low fat.

Could murder some toast though.

Good luck on Thursday!

Hello and welcome!

The milk diet is grim, but it's very short-term. When it's driving you mad just keep reminding yourself of the goal. It'll be done before you know it!

Just two more days, you can get through it!

try to use it as a focus, post band there are a lot of changes to be made diet wise, but it's important to stick to your pre-op guidelines just as it is when your band is there. The end result and the surgery going ahead should be the only motivation you need to get past these few days you've got left

OMG.... T.O.A.S.T...my mouth is watering as my husband has just had toast and it smells like heaven, lol
Oh My we are both done on Thursday!..Did you choose bypass instead of band or were you advised by your surgeon?

I can have a piece of toast for my breakfast just with extra low fat spread, and it's not the same as Lurpak so I'm just having porridge because it will fill me up longer, haha it's no wonder I'm fat.

I went in 18 months ago asking for a band they suggested the bypass because I was over 22 stones I suppose and needed to lose more, ironically I've just got on the scales and I'm 15.12 with a bmi of 38 so I wouldn't even meet the criteria now, I can't wait, How are you? Nervous?
