I did'nt have a lot to lose, it was done for health reasons, but i am in a size 10 which i love, and i was a big sweet eater, you will do great Amanda i was in a size 22 xx

Congratulations on getting your op date

I had mine done nearly 12 weeks ago and believe it was the best decision I have ever made!!

amanda this site is the best for getting advice as everyone has a story to tell. nov will soon come around, get prepared for your pre op diet, plan ya food for when you get home.i made loads of soups put them into little yoghurt pots and froze them so when i wanted one just got pot out rather than waste it. simple things made life easier. xx
