i made milk jelly with mine

Well done that is absolutely brilliant!!!!

Well Yve, I was surprised I saw Heather this time, she said double up the multi vit. They had helpfully lost my blood results from the previous time so I suspect that is what she is telling everyone. I didn't know that you were supposed to spread the calcium tabs either, apparently the gut can...

Good luck, my neighbour has her return date for the 4th of Feb, so it was just over the month which is why she started straight away!!!

I am recovering from a hip replacement and I have got a set of pedals that you can use in your armchair and they work a treat as well. I means I can pedal without the pain of sitting on a saddle !! I am now able to do an hour a day so I am pretty pleased with myself. Gary keep it up you are...

I am 18 months post op and finally my hair is returning to near normal, I lost some (not noticable to anyone but me) but it became really frizzy, dry and changed texture. My hairdresser said it happened to people that had suffered trauma, birth and big operations, he was right about it coming...

I was at Luton for an 18 month check yesterday and was told that All complete vitamin tablets have to have minimum levels of each vitamin in them, I was told that I need to take double of the rda. so as I can't get forceval at the moment I have been taking Sainsburys own. The dietitian said that...

I'm going to do the ap, but I kept a record from the moment I started the process, took photos every two weeks and weighed at the same time. I also wrote everything down in a private blog. I have now made the photos and blog into a book, its great to look back at 11 plus stone ago!!!

I am at Luton and if you don't do the 5% in the allotted time you risk being taken off the process. I was with a lady who was refused the op as she was three pounds short of her 5%!!!! Like Yve, I stuck to the time to give myself the best chance, I found it really hard and the thought of failing...

Yes at Luton you have to do the milk diet to lose 5% before you qualify for the surgeon appointment. They want you to do 5% in a month and I think that's really the only way. Its really tough, I did it twice, glad that's miles behind me now!!!

I can eat more and I don't really dump but I have found that my tastes have changed, I am not really that keen on chocolate anymore before the op I could eat it non stop. I now have the odd square. You do have to be careful. I am 18 months out and I eel great and I am still losing without trying...

You are continuing to do very well, brilliant in fact!!!!

It does affect your insurance premium, and you may well be advised not to fly for 3 months due to the risk of DVT, each hospital has its own ideas and advice, but if you are advised not to fly that will put your insurance at risk.

Well done Andy, you are half the man you were!!

I was at Luton and I started the milk diet in Jan 2012, I didn't have my op until June 2012, although they originally fixed the date for the end of May but I couldn't do it. You will have another couple of weeks on the milk diet before the op and then around a month on liquids and thin puree...

Well done Shelley you look fabulous!!!!! Hard work but worth it xxxx

Good Luck then !!!

Phwoar!!!!!!!!!! Hey good looking Essex boy!!! Well done you look gorgeous!!!! xxxxx

Brilliant!!!!

Why on earth are you doing 12 weeks??? That is excessive and you'll be hard pushed to do that!!! I have two friends doing L and D at the moment and they are doing exactly the same as I did, two lots of 4 weeks, one to lose 5% and the other to shrink the liver before the op. Good luck with this...
