Thank you @nafpnd I'm feeling all types of emotions... excited, scared, anxious, hopeful... but above all trying to remain positive.
Its going to be so hard being away from my little girl. She was 2 in March and we've never been apart for more than a few hours. I think that will perhaps be the hardest thing for me to deal with.
BUT I'm doing all of this to try and ensure that she has the best quality of life that a healthier mom can give her

Feeling all those emotions is normal I think, I know I certainly felt that way. You can do this and yes just keep reminding yourself why you are doing this. It's worth it I promise. I'm 3 and a half weeks out and at the weekend I actually went out to watch my kids fly kites and I wouldn't have felt able to before my op so it can start making a difference that quickly. Good luck! x

All those emotions are normal Lisa, but as you say you need to think about the long term health improvements for your daughter.

I have a 5 year old, so I feel for you. It will all be worth it xxx

Thanks for that @FeeHutch, I know you're right. Such simple pleasures would mean the world

Now their 29 27 and 23 and I have my first grandchild on the way so I will be doing lots with him / her ....(my youngest has said how good I look as he's never seen me slim ) xxx (slimmer than I've ever been)

Hi everyone.
Soooo I'm at the hospital, waiting in the Admissions Lounge.
Just seen the surgeon and I should be in theatre for around 1pm.
OMG it's really happening!

 

[Lynneslims]

Exciting times, not long now!!

 

[nafpnd]

Oooh, it really is happening! All the best and see you on the looser' bench real soon.

 

[Lisa876]

Ahhh the nerves! Roughly 4 hours to go.
I've just been weighed etc and came in at 141.7 kgs, down from 150.4 on the 24th May when I started LSD. So 8.7kgs in 17 days...

Isn't the LSD weight loss amazing?! For some of us who struggle to loose even 1lb at all it seems surreal lol

 

[Lisa876]

Lol so true @naf! My scale showed me 142.4 when I checked before leaving home this morning so that was a pleasant surprise.

 

[Lilacglittergirl]

Good luck Lisa. See you on the Losers' Bench later xxxx
