Starting my pre op diet tomorrow!! So excited to finally start the journey.. less than a month until my surgery now :D

@Mother K Sorry to hear about the problems with your scar tissue and acid reflux but so happy to read the you are feeling better today!! Are you being discharged today?

Hey @Mother K !!! How did your surgery go? Hope you are recovering well xx

@Mother K That's really interesting, thank you for mentioning what she had to do! I've got a multivitamin from boots which should be okay. Strange that the chocolate flavour wasn't allowed it's the only one I would have chosen haha. I've got high protein, low carb protein powder to have as...

They said to just cut fat and sugar out of my diet but to also have a look at the NHS pre-op diets. They said any would be fine so I asked if i could do a mix-match of milk/protein shakes one day and low carb diet the next and said it was fine as long as my food days were under 800cals. So I...

Oh really? Have you found it difficult? I am doing alternate days with milk and then 800 cals the next day

Oh I am so relieved to hear you say that!! I have to do mine for 4 weeks too and I am panicking that I won't be able to stick to it for so long! Which pre op have you been doing?x

I agree, i'll try it haha! Thats not too bad, I guess if we ever need to be seen to at any point, the NHS will always be there with like A&E, doctors and that :) Are you currently doing your pre-op?? I can't wait to start a new lease of life! Which stage are you at?x

Oh that's wonderful! I must admit that it's not even somewhere I'd thought about going before.. but I'll defo take a look :D hahah, that's a sure thing! Hopefully I'll be able to keep it down for long enough during take off & landing! Do you think I could get away with squeezing it down while...

Even so, last November was still a while to wait! But Cuba must have been amazing!? Did you enjoy it? :) I'm bringing my boyfriend along with me, I would have taken mum too but she's a teacher and can't get the time off work! I'm having the sleeve done, really excited for it! SO scared that I...

Wow you have been waiting a long time! How come it's been so long? You must be so relieved to have a confirmed date now. I think the reason I opted for private was because I cannot bare the thought of NHS waiting times! Hey hey, ooh good luck!! Are you excited? I have heard the band has been...

Oh bless you, I guess we will all have the worry of failing at some point during our journeys! I'm petrified of failing too :( I just hope the operation is successful and helps me lead a healthier life! Are you going through the NHS?xx

Hey Mother K, wow how exciting! Are you nervous about anything in particular? xx

@countrywench Just found this online, it's from 2012 so not sure how accurate it still is.. but it looks like it is possible! "I'd take the 16:01 Eurostar to Paris (15:32 at weekends), from £39, www.eurostar.com. Then the 20:05 City Night Line sleeper leaving Paris Est 20:05 (20:20 weekends)...

Hey hey :) It's £3980 with beautiful beings. There is other costs too though; £70 for a month of injections post op, £45 for the transfers to/from the airport and an extra £340 if you want someone there with you - includes all their meals. Not too sure about the train, but to be honest I am...

Anyone else having their surgery in April this year? x

Oh how lovely, is the area nice? :) I'm counting the days before I go, so excited!

Oh that's brilliant! Thank you :) This may be a stupid question, but did you take any local money? I can't imagine needing it at all? x

I'm having a sleeve done here on april 17th! Did you guys book a suitcase on the flight? Worried that the injections and medication will be taken from me at customs! x
