One month til I meet surgeon...

??? how exciting, how've you found it so far? I'm going for the bypass too, from what I've read it seems to have a better long term success with less re-gain and I think my eating habits are better suited to it

All the best for tomorrow! Please come back on & let me know how much you've lost xx

Hi the bypass was right for me because it has been around for a while and the long-term success rate is really good. Also because I am so frightened by dumping - it is keeping me to the plan. No more can I say that "I'll be good tomorrow". Had a good meeting with the Bariatric Nurse today - I'm doing really well and have lost 36lbs since starting my pre-op diet. Not a huge loss compared to other people, but my body doesn't give up it's fat easily. Compared with taking over a year to lose 2 stone two it is marvellous and I'm very, very, happy :) x

I know what your saying about dumping. Terrifies the life out of me ??

Thank you. I know from this forum that some members dump on 'good' things so I try new things at home - would be too, too embarrassing to do this at work or out somewhere. I have now started a diary on here to help keep me in check xx
 
A diary is a great idea, it's nice to look back and see how far you've come too as well as using it to keep you on the right track. How long were off work?
 
Hi Linsey - I took a month off - two weeks was leave - but as this is the summer holidays and the students are not back yet, this was not an problem - I have also been lucky that I have been working at home for two weeks I go into work tomorrow xx
 
Hi everyone I've got a new one to add that I'm more aware of recently it's not being suffocated by my chest when sleeping!

I'm packing this week. Tried leaving it as late as possible so I have something to concentrate on in the last few days. I know that's daft but it's working for me.

9lb off on my pre-op diet as of this morning so I'm pleased with that. Brings it to 3 stone 2lb since being referred. Can't wait to see that number dropping. My knees and my back are praying for it to be soon too.
 
A little update from me, 2 weeks to go til I see surgeon again and so far I think I'm on track. I'm so excited about it all wish I could hurry timr up!
