Not very good I got a little stressed last night and ended up having spicy chicken dips I did well on the first day I'm trying to keep myself busy this morning I'm going to get some carrots later only as they are raw the go right through me! I think it's just knowing I'm on a diet that don't help. As I said I know I can do the milk diet easier I'll try this for a day or to if I can't manage it I will just put myself on the milk only. I know it's a psychological it's the issue around food. I've not given up yet x

Keep going Allrico you can do it. It is only a few weeks of your life to change your life forever.. I was really struggling with hunger to begin with (on 4 weight watchers soups and 4 yoghurts), but yesterday it got to bedtime and I realised I hadn't had one of my soups and one yoghurt. The foul taste of saccharin also got to me but I have sorted that now by having a mug of hot water with a teaspoon of marmite in. You either love it or hate it

 

[Smallerme]

It is hard but you will do it. So important for the op itself. Keep going, how has your day been today?

I was given 5 options to choose from so what I found helpful was to do a trial run before starting. I tried the 5 pts of milk but only lasted till 11am before I said sod it and went and bought a cheese sandwich. The 4 soup and 4 yogs was the best for me... I was hungry to begin with but a few days in I got used to it.. and in fact tonight I still have two yogs and a tin of soup to eat but its a bit too late to eat now (10:30pm). Sugar free jelly is also a godsend if you get peckish.
Whatever you choose good luck. x

I was given the same options and am doing the same pre-op diet and I have to say have rarely felt hungry on it at all

 

[Emma7799]

I have my op tomorrow - 7am at the hospital for 9am op.
My excitement has turned to nerves now, but I guess that's normal.
It doesn't help that I'm writing lists for the husband "just in case"

Thank you Beegee - are you counting down the days?
I was excited till a few hours ago, now I feel sick with nerves - I'm trying to keep busy - planned my last meal - salmon fillet and salad, cleaned the entire house and washing and ironing almost done! Will be packing once I pick up the monsters from school.
At least I won't have too much time to get worked up tomorrow.

Goodluck to everyone having their Op this month!

I was banded 5 weeks ago and was a bag of nerves the night before but before you know it you will be coming round in your room and its all over. I was surprised at how well I felt actually, thank the lord for good pain relief!

Remember to take it easy for the first few days & be kind to yourselves & you will soon be feeling fine, can honestly say I haven't a moments regret

Look forward to seeing you all on the losers bench xx

 

[WeightlossDreamer]
