Hi all, been reading loads of your diaries and loved them! Now that my op is booked I decided it's time to start one too! I'm making a promise 2 myself to update my diary daily and help others as much as possible. So Hello all! Xx

So I'm having a gastric band fitted on Thursday 16th October 2014 and I'm really looking forward to it! I think I'm a little anxious as I can't seem to sleep at the moment! Think it's because it's a lot of money and I've failed at so many diets I still keep thinking this isn't going to work for me and I'm doomed to be big forever! But then on the other hand I know this is going to work for me as I'm going to make it work! I'm currently around 270 Ibs and start the pre op diet this Thursday. I'm trying to cut down but at the same time feel like I want things just one last time. This mentality is what got me here! ? time 4 change!

hey cardi.... im right with you i have had a last everything, marshmellow, chinese, italian blah blah blah so i so understand what you mean but i had time to do it, you then have to have your cut off date on scoff fest!

im flying yout to Czch next Monday eeeek for a sleeve!

from what i have found is that this site is geniunely helpful and very niche to us surgery girlsand boys. ultimatly itll be an amazing distraction for me and a place where i can seek guidance and experience from other who actually know what i feel and am going through

Apart from my hatred for my black cotton items im looking forward to this for many reasons! Since hitting 37 and having my 2nd child last year (and suffering from SPD) I've found my health has gone down hill. I can barely walk, my back and hips are constantly hurting, I'm too heavy to turn around in bed, siatica, painful knees, getting up stairs, getting in and out of car, the list is endless. I really cannot wait to shift some weight and stay exercising when I can. Thanks again for the messaging xx

 

[alfiemoomin]

good for you for turning your health around, its brave and shows hgh value of self. im in a similar 'place'', chronic bad back for 3 years, wont heal and now hips.... put loads weight on and 2 melons up front ive nicknamed eddie stobarts x 2 lol

Ooo, I had SPD with my second too. Really really unpleasant. Along with pre-eclampsia in both pregnancies, I really wasn't an earth mother!
