Hi to all,
I've just joined the site after spending far too much of work's time reading all your posts. I think the help & support you all give each other is fantastic & I'm looking forward to being part of it.
My surgery is 3 weeks today and I am on day 2 of my pre-op liver diet. Finding it ok so far apart from breakfast. I am getting hungry mid morning. I am having porridge with a sliced up banana. I am just worried about portion size & afraid of having too much but I think I will need to get some bigger bananas, lol.
I am really excited about the op, but a bit anxious about how I am going to cope afterwards - what to eat & how much. I just keep thinking about how I will feel when I get on the scales & the numbers keep going down. I am actually looking forward to my holiday abroad in August this year for the first time ever. I love going away & getting some sun, I just hate feeling like a beached whale, worrying about whether the seatbelt on the plane will fasten & trying to hide the fact that I can't get the tray to come all the way down because my stomach gets in the way.
Well I'd better get back to work as I have so much work to get through before I'm off for my op. Only trouble is I'm finding it hard to think about anything other than the op. It's like it takes over your life isn't it?
Thanks again to all of you who contribute to the site.
