Try and fill up with loads of water if you are able and try and bear with it... it'll be so worth it love xxx
 
Angel, I'm right in thinking you have 2 weeks to go?

I'd be keeping really busy and tip out your wardrobes.

I did that on the pre op and tried to not have time to think so much about food.

If it does happen divert and have something ready to compensate... what exactly are you having?

Bear in mind, if you gain it won't be in your favour, that's a great motivator and I wish I'd lost more it would have been easier for the surgeon and me...

Get yourself as healthy, as fit and as pampered as you can while you are waiting... work on your nails, hair, skin anything to divert your attention, that is what I did precious.

Love and hugs and here for you xxx
 
Oh sweet bleed ya stick with it I did the milk diet and I found that hard the first few days.
Can u ask ur provider if u can swap on to the milk at least u can ave a large milky coffee and milk shake and stuff.
Good luck it will all be worth it in the long run and h will soon be on that lossers bench with us take sweet heart xxx let us no how u go xxxx
 
Yes dear friend Bev less than 2 weeks now i am having my op on monday the 7/03/11 and i am having gastric bypass. wish me luck.

bev do you mind please post for me like you did to the others?
 
Have a milky coffee ( If ur allowed) xx
 
Of course I will, I'm here for anyone Angel. I'll pm my mobile no to you.

Why don't you join me with my daily log for meals... we can support each other for the next two weeks.

Andrea did really well on the milk diet with doing this... and it makes you feel part of something to focus on...

It's hard, but it's about shrinking the liver, so carry on Angel.

With your every step.

Love and hugs xxx
 
ok dear friends i will have a cuppa now, the thing is the slimfast they ask you to have 5x325mls and iam not having that much.
 
I've sent my mobile no to you precious, anytime, just text and I'll help in any way.

It's not long to wait now and keep crossing off the days... it soon comes around and soon goes...

At your side Angel xxx
 
i will do anything bev to take my mind of fooooooooooood foooooooooood lol i am only chewing like 2 or 3 pices of gumes a day,not tried any of the jellys as yet.

The thing i always fast for lent, and the fasting start on the wed the 9/03/11 2 days after my op, and i fast of all dairy and meat, 100% veges so that is not an issue, only and issue if they ask me is hospital to have something that i am not allowed while i am fasting. i have been told i might be staying between 3-4 days.
 
Sweetheart... you will only be sipping water and maybe watery soup at the stage that you will be at during Lent, so I'm hoping you can put this worry on the back burner Angel... for the first few days it's only tiny sips of water and just to get your system going.... and I know our Lord will be with you and wanting you to get going and get on your feet precious.

We are always here if you need us and just say if you have any fears or feel worried in any way... I'm at your side and there are some very experienced people on here... we'll all get you through and don't hesitate to text me anytime.

Love and hugs xxx
 
Angelicheart if your provider tells you to have 5 slimfasts a day then please follow their suggestion. I know it's tempting to see if you can have less and lose more weight, but for once this diet is not about weight loss it's about liver reduction. Keep to what your allowed and there is less chance of cheating (ps we've all done it - cheated a little bit i mean). Also drink lots of diet fizzy drinks and if you are allowed sugar free jelly make loads of it and every time your feeling hungry or need something have some...

Don't be a hero, you know you can do this. If it helps this is the hardest part of the wls journey, if you can do this you can take on the world xx
 
I tell you something sweet ppl, i never been or felt loved as i have been with you, as you know i am very quite person i dont say much, mainly cuz of my spelling and poor english;o) but as long you understand me that what matter, a mi right?

I never been under full anaesthetic so its a worry that i might go forever sleep land lol, worried for my daughter, nerves start to kick in, i know all of you been in my place and know what and how i am feeling.

may the lord watch over all of us who is having an a operation sooner or later.

one more thing i love you all.
 
Precious, please don't ever change, we love you just the way you are... your faith and love will carry you through and it'll be an opportunity for you to fully enjoy life with your precious daughter.

I felt the same... I'm getting older, had cancer, have this and that wrong with me, I'll say my goodbyes when I leave, but in my heart I knew that I still have plenty to do on this earth and I have faith.

You'll be just fine Earth Angel and reach here anytime, we have our arms open for you.

Love and hugs xxx
 
Like Bev said please dont feel like you have to change for anyone :D We are a happy little band on here mainly!
We all have wobbles when the surgery draws near but thats perfectly normal.......I was all over the place but strangely the nearer it got the calmer I was. I still had a few mad panicky moments but thats it and I was fine......and you will be too ;) XX
 
Hi Angelic, Im not surprised you are feeling down on the milk diet. I was only allowed milk and yogurt and fluids only and i was ill in bed, it was awful.
All i can say to you darling is if you cheat on it your op may not go ahead and its this thought that kept me going.
You have lots of wonderful support on the forum and that helped get me through too.
The milk diet is the beginning of your journey love and its not nice at the beginning.
Im thinking of you lovey and here for you anytime...please keep going you are doing so well.
Im 7 days out today and this is the first day that im feeling a bit better. Huggs. xxxx
