hehe Emma, you'll be fine, you ought to spend time between now and then doing fun stuff to take your mind off it. Get some mates round for wine! Make lots of soup and freeze it down for post op so you dont have to do it when your feeling yucky

I cant wait for my WLS ^_^ on the 22nd June. I had my first consult on 18th May and got the ball rolling (yes im a private sellout). Do you think it would be worth following the milk and yog diet (due to start on Thurs 11th june for 10 days) for more than 10 days in total just to ensure my liver is in optimum condition for the surgery...any thoughts?!
Good luck everyone and be sure to let us all know how you get on!

 

[emmarfrost]

I dont know hun, Im very new to this myself, and am already bored stiff of the milk and yoghurt diet rofl! Think I have forgotten what real food tastes like lool.What made you decide to go for it?? x

 

[bexmoss86]

Do you mean what made me go for the surgical option? Well, long story short, ive been overweight for as long as I can remember and I have a horrible relationship with food in general - i never know when to stop. So..surgery has become a last resort! I just cant wait for my new life to begin!
Are you finding the milk diet really hard? Have you been tempted to cheat?! Ive made my mum promise to shout at me if I even consider cheating!

 

[emmarfrost]

Bex, Ive actually found it fine- as finally I have a light at the end of the tunnel to help me get me out of my weight and food black hole i have been in for over 10 years, also it helps with the operation so makes sense to follow it- I feel motivated to follow it well,especially as it cost me so bloody much plus hubby would roast me on an open fire teehee.
How did you get your ticker to work, mine keeps saying invalid url or invalid file xxx

 

[bexmoss86]

Emmar - have you got your ticker working? I just followed the tutorial
http://www.minimins.com/tutorials/19172-how-setup-weight-loss-ticker-tickerfactory-com.html

Im so glad that there are other people in the world that have struggled with their weight for as long as I have. I too used feel like im in a black hole with no way out. I wish you the best of luck on Monday! My op feels like a year away not a month lolzz

Goodluck girls, I go in on Saturday for mine so may not be able to wish you luck the Eve before...so lots of love to you both xx

 

[sparky42]

good luck red and emma will be thinking of you both on monday. i had my op there and everyone was really great couldnt find any faults at all, i flew back to belfast next morning at 9 am and felt ok apart from shoulder pain in fact the shoulder pain was the only niggly pain i had from the surgery.

[katylea]

good luck red and emma hope every think goes ok on monday for you xx

 

[emmarfrost]

Thanks soo much ladies, its really good to have a place where people are happy for each other and are wishing each the best, but most importantly understand how we all feel.

Feel like ive been here forever rather than a few days

xxxx

 

[Red 42]

thank you everyone for the good wishes

Kelly...hopefully you will still be there for a quick hello on Monday.:cross:

Baby Jayne...hope it goes well and you're not worrying too much...take care & let us know how you're doing:fingerscrossed:

Bex...the milk & yog diet isn't too bad, I was told that I only needed to lose 8lb pre op, and I know it's only for a couple more days...I was however talking with a mini earlier this week though who said their PCT expected them to do this diet for 6 weeks before their op

Emma...how you feeling? I'm still waiting to hear from Hospital Group regarding my travel arrangements, so will give them till lunchtime today and then ring again as I'm working all day tomorrow and have a busy day on Sunday...wish it was here, I'm soooo impatient
