take it easy on yourself, enjoy your last few weeks and dont be putting yourself under such stress and pressure! Despite all my great intentions i completely failed my pre op diet...as in completely didnt lost an ounce. Relax. You're not expected to be an angel until 8th august, just try your best to eat well and start going for daily walks. The first few days post op are a bit crap but i'm day 9 now and feeling fine, better everyday, and the band has physically stopped my binging overnight. You need to get some positive mental attitude, if you think negatively you'll get negative results.

Hi slim4son, I had got myself into such a state a few weeks ago that I decided I either had to adandon the procedure or accept my decision once and for all. I mentally put all my negative thoughts, tears, tantrums, bad form etc into a big imaginary balloon and threw it up in the air and waved it goodbye. Surgery was too far away to be stressing everyday. I'm preparing myself now for my pre op diet in a couple of weeks and taking things day by day. I am nervous and scared but I was nervous and scared when I had my children and that was the best result ever so I'm putting this as the second best thing I'll ever have done.
Hi guys thanks so much for your help you really are a good support I just keep bursting into tears scared stiff of going under anesthetic and wondering why it has come to me having a band fitted but I have tried so many things and I owe it to myself and my adorable son and husband to do this I wanna run around after him instead of wanting to sit down and not go on slides I waited 8 years for James and he is my miracle however I just keep bursting into tears scared stiff something going to go wrong but like you have mentioned I need to think positive roll on next sun when I can express my thoughts to the hospital group when I see them at the consultation xxxx

Now it is you that have me laugh!!! Years and years ago when I had an operation I made them put the teeth in a plastic bag and had it pinned to my operating gown with a note to recovery nurses to put them back in my mouth the minute I opened my eyes !!!
