Hey Cab, welcome to the forum :) When you hit 20 posts, be sure to catch us in the Cornwall Coffee Time thread (located in the WLS Meetings & Support Groups section). I must admit that I've changed my mind so many times the last few months, not sure if I'm doing the right thing or Sleeve...

Thanks Weegie, that's great ..... They look OK don't they :) I notice your operation is coming up soon!!! Good luck :)

Hi all :) I have been searching all day for a bariatric-friendly Chicken Korma recipe ...... I don't suppose anybody out there has one they would care to share please??? (Im also wanting a Chicken Tikka recipe too if anybody has one?) Thanks xx

Sound advice Crystal ...... I can work with that :D xx

Well that wasn't much like what I was expecting!! I thought it would be quite detailed, ya know talk about the different surgeries, discuss the pros and cons, maybe talk about which procedure may be more suited to my needs, go through the various stages of the journey (well, tell me what...

Thanks Crystal :) I'm sure it will be OK. Hubby will be with me so that's a great support. Will let you know how it goes :) Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! Awesome .......... Love it ........ Well done you :) xx

No Crystal, my appointment is with Mr.Dugal (in the Diabetic Clinic)....... None of you seem to have heard of him :eek: ......... Maybe that's partly why I'm so anxious this evening...... Edit: by the way Crystal, how did you get on today? It was you had an appointment this afternoon wasn't it?

I've been sooooooo looking forward to my journey actually starting tomorrow - my first appointment at the hospital since my doctor referred me. Now, sitting here minding my own business and suddenly I'm terrified LOL!!!!! I'm nervous because I don't really know what to expect, and worried that I...

Welcome Joolz :) This is a great forum with lots of friendly, supportive people. Good luck with your journey :)

Great idea, but its Cornwall Coffee Time that can't be accessed until 20 posts ...... I think that's where you meant to post this Crystal LOL :D xx

Oh Steph, I'm sorry to hear that hun :( No, mine hasn't changed .......... :fingerscrossed:

Thanks girls :) I want to get into the swing of things as much as I can pre op. So all info and tips are welcome. I'd already thought about cutlery size and have decided to get myself a kiddies set. I was going to get one of those bariatric surgery portion control plates, but Crystals...

Thanks Sam :) I'm making changes as I go along - I introduced the 20-20-20 rule this morning with my cereal bar though not tiny teeny weeny bites. Once I get used to the 20-20-20, I shall then bring in the 30 minute drought rule!! Not looking forward to that one :eek: I'm not sure how...

I have read a couple on here, but both ended up having surgery after appealing and stamping feet!! All things crossed for everyone wanting surgery :fingerscrossed: It may help your case if you make a start now. The more you can change your lifestyle now, the more it shows you are serious...

Maybe different surgeries have slightly different rules, but I read it was drink a glass of water 30 mins before a meal then again 90 mins after the meal with no fluids in between (or something like that anyway). I can't remember where I read it but that would have been for the bypass so maybe...

What do you mean? I've read that you should take tiny teeny weeny bites and chew 25 times.... but I don't know what you mean by 20-20-20???? I've also read that you shouldn't drink immediately before a meal, nor during or after - that's going to be a tough one for me that is on my list to...

Oh fantastic idea! I know you have to keep drinking lots of water and I was wondering how on earth am I going to do it - duh ....... LOL !!!!!!! That is actually something I should be doing already. I drink loads when I'm at the gym, but not much any other time. Hmmmm, going to crack on with...

I'm concerned that I may want to turn to cigarettes again. It could be far too easy to put a fag to my mouth instead of food, just as it was to put food to my mouth instead of a cigarette when I gave up smoking...... Best stock up on chewing gum - that stops me putting anything to my...

Thanks Bronny, that's a relief :)

Oh golly :eek: If it takes that long, I might be under the BMI threshold for surgery by then. What's the difference between emotional eating and comfort eating? Or are they the same thing? And is eating out of boredom any different? Still all psychological I would have thought?? Its all a...
