Hi and welcome!!

I am a recent band opper and have only positive things to say about my decision to have it!

I look forward to hearing how you get on!

This site is fantastic for anything u need to know or don't know u need yet!

I have lost 3 stone 1.5lbs including my pre op diet and ideally still have around another 7 to go!! I take it a stone at a time...that way it doesn't feel like such uphill battle xx

 

[Mrs Q]

Aww thanks ladies ,you've done amazing, did u both do the milk n yog diet if so how did u find it ?

 

[sharon2014]

I don't very low cal / low carb pre op diet, which was ok...after about day 3 the hunger stopped but even before hat it wasn't too bad..think as long as you remember why doing it!! xxx

 

[Crystalrainbow]

Mine was food too due to a dairy intolerance so cant help much, but as Sharon says if you remember the end results you will get thru no worries x
