A band for me x

[Sophina]

It's crazy how we're all told such different things pre and post op xxx

 

[traceyb79]

It's mad isn't it x I was sent home from consultation with a small book then when I rang the dietician about the pre op she asked if I had the booklet with the scales on the front and I said no so she posted it out and it was a brilliant book in so much detail,

It amazes me that in the same hospital we have different advice/ different stitches/ after plan/ injections /post op diet. I don't even think it is by hospital but it must be by surgeon x

Yeah I know it's crazy isn't it I have the book with the scales on and just having another look it dose say weeks 3 and 4 soft/sloppy diet god knows what I thought I had read think I'm going mad or info overload Lol, well that's better then think I'd better read this book again xx

Hi Sunny,

[sunnyJ]

Hi Tracey I'm having s band this Sunday

 

[traceyb79]

Exciting x x where are you having it done x

 

[sunnyJ]

In going down to London to Proff Favretti. I was completely stressing out this morning but I'm ok now! X

 

[traceyb79]

You will be fine x just take each step as it comes and don't worry too much about the next one x

 

[sunnyJ]

Good advice thanks X

So it's in the morning! Driving through the night because I have to stay near the hospital tomorrow night. I'm packed, and house cleaned to keep me busy, plus my mum is coming to look after the kids until Monday so I had to... She's a bit obsessive compulsive cleaners!

Still very nervous but I'm just trying to be excited instead! It will be the start of a new chapter I've told everyone I wanted to tell and everyone has been so supportive, which is great

I'm going to have a bath and something to eat and then try to get some sleep ... Setting off about half 2!! Id rather be early than late X

I need to keep calm. The fact that I'm going to be so tired in the morning will probably help I'm hoping!

How are you getting on Tracey? x

 

[traceyb79]

Rubbish.

I have sat and thought a lot today. I have gone back to my bad eating habits. I know the band is a tool but I was struggling before and still am.

I have my fill on Sunday so I am going to use that as a fresh start. Will be watching what I eat till then aswell. I will have to come on here more aswell to get myself back in the band mindset

I feel like I am wasting the band at the moment which makes me feel so weak.

How are you going after your fill x

 

[lalole]

It is hard isn't it, it's the snacking that's worse for me, I'm trying not to have anything in the house that I like but then my boyfriend will buy something n I eat that then someone always has something in work, need to learn to say no x

 

[traceyb79]

We will get the hang of this x don't worry. Might just take us a bit longer than others lol x

 

[sunnyJ]

Hi Tracey hope the fill goes well. I'm still on liquids but thought the same re diet ... My first fill is at 6 weeks (just before Xmas lol) and I've got nothing in the band so will power it's gonna have to be ... Which is not easy.
