Weight doesn't matter , as long as ur livers has shrunk xxxx

 

[mimi42]

I have lost about 9 lbs altogether so I'm hopping that will mean my liver has shrunk enough but that's over the last 3wks

 

[lolalou]

Nine pounds is great! Well done! And you still have another five days at it. It will fly by now, you will be post op before you know it. Wishing you lots of luck x

 

[mimi42]

Thank u Lola but I'm feeling very nervous now all the usual questions I'm I doing the right thing what if it goes wrong, u no.

The last few days before my op I was the same, very frightened even though I knew I wanted it and have done for years and strangely a bit weepy the last couple of days before my op, but now I feel great, my weight might not be coming off at speed but I have gone down dress sizes and am having to wear smaller trousers for work, that's a great feeling, and even if I out a pound or two on here or there the chances are I will never be huge again this is a long term solution, I'm so glad I did it, I must admit I've had a few panics about things going wrong and am terrified of being sick after my consultation, but I'd rather regret something I have done than waste my life regretting what I didn't do. of all the threads on here the majority are positive ones and people sound over the moon with their new lives. We have that to look forward to, now that is exciting! It's only natural to worry a bit, I'm not a big worrier, I always look for the positives, much to my partners annoyance as he is a huge worrier. But the result is I spend more time looking forward to things rather than panicking about things that haven't even happened. That said with surgery it is different and I had my little worries. But I can honestly say I feel great at the minute! Apart from my big scar is itching like crazy!! I've wrote a little diary and set goals in the front, little milestones to spur me on, and although it's going slow for me at the minute I'm heading in the right direction you will get there too. Woohoo! I hope the time passes as quickly for you as it has done for me

 

[mimi42]

I'm glad u had some of the same worries and I no if I don't have it done I will b fat forever and may get bigger even and at 42 time is running out to make a difference so it is for the best
I just worry about if anything happens to me leaving my children .

 

[snack]

Mimi we all have the same worries it's all perfectly normal before surgery, even after its done u may go through a brief panic thinking OMG what have I done , it's natural too worry good luck on your WLS journey xxx

 

[lolalou]

Although I'm not a worrier in general I think if I had children I would have felt how you do before my op. I hope the next few days keep you really busy with little time to worry and Monday arrives fast for you.

 

[mimi42]

I'm feeling better today cold is slowly going.
Iv lost another 3lbs so good news their hopfully if i have a good poo before i leave on monday ill b the right weight

 

[lolalou]

You've already lost well over your five pound though so you should be fine! I've been guzzling the lactulose today in the hope of some action!!
