Hi there odonnellcheryl,

In answer to your question I think you have to be a patient of Homerton Hospital however don't let that put you off. It's a good support group to meet others to exchange ideas and experiences, so come anyway on the 3rd Thursday of every month - I think!!

Anyway I'm getting myself ready for my pre -op diet, I'm just hoping the hospital puts me on the 1000 calories per day after stocking up on soups. I said good bye to fat foods yesterday that will no longer fuel my body in a positive way and decided to buy a pack of chocolate Digestive biscuits and peanuts. The thing is I was in the supermarket for a long time a couldn't decided what to buy as a treat, before I would of bought anything crisps, M&M, ice cream but I have change my eating pattern for the last 10 months and more conscious of what I 'm buying. When I got home I ate a couple of the biscuits and lost the thrill of eating them and through the rest in the bin. A year ago I would of been so excited, eating them with a large cup of tea cuddle up on the sofa. So I feel, so, so ready to start my journey. Keep me posted with your development everyone. Pre -op assessment tomorrow with the nurse.

Hi all, I'm an October sleeve too! Scheduled for the 16th.

I'm quite apprehensive AND excited - just eaten my way through a half a box of chocs prior to starting my pre-op diet tomorrow! Emotional eating, I know I know. Will have to learn new comfort strategies once I have the sleeve.

Good luck to you all. Will keep popping to see your progress and report mine

So in 2 days time I will be traveling in preparation for my op on Wednesday morning, & this morning I was in a total panic as it really felt like I was getting a horrible cold.

Even my husband was worried but thankfully some healthy food, a good walk & a bath seems to have cleared me. I'm thinking it was maybe because I slept with all the windows closed last night so no fresh air circulating.

I swear I have never prayed so much, just keep me healthy healthy healthy
