thanks

thanks for your support it does help knowing that there are people out there that have already gone on this journey, I have booked a week off work I just hope that is long enough? I see people being excited I am not feeling that, I am more worried is that normal? will I be able to keep it a secret from my family and friends? sorry I am like a question book ready to explode!!

welcome - I was a wreck before surgery due to my fear of general anaesthetic, I'm now approaching 22 months post surgery...it's normal to feel nervous. It's a big step, one which us life changing but one where we have to be prepared to make life changes too.

Welcome to the forum. What surgery are you having done? I can't help you with keeping it a secret as I choose to be open with family and friends. Good luck on your journey. Xx

Morning. I am not telling anyone other than my husband and my daughter. My daughter is due to be married in April 2015 so that is my motivation to lose weight. I have started telling people at work that i am planning starting my 'wedding diet' on 1st July, i am having my band fitted on 28th June. I have booked a week and 3 days off work. I have mentioned to my manager that i am having a minor op and i don't want anyone at work knowing, i have told her that for if i need to take the rest of the second week off work, but if i feel well i will go back to work and keep my band under my hat! I am more excited than worried, if i have any worries at all its that it doesn't work, but that is just my negative voice!
Good Luck with your surgery.

Hi hunni and a huge welcome to a very friendly supportive site, your sure in the right place I am a complete worrier, and for years worried that i would eventually put myself thru this huge life change, but to be completely honest i was a calm as anything, on the day i was a bit of an emotional wreck, but here i am 4 months out and loving life I was very open with everyone, and told them all, sometimes i've regretted that decision because some people question and make it an issue. My opinion now, is tell only you must or those willing to support, don't give time to those who want to put you down for making the right decision to get your life back on track I wish you all the very best on your new path and again a very warm welcome x x x x

thank to you all for your support. last night I has a total meltdown and a good cry and I actually feel better!! stupid things got the better of me. like when I am away who would do my daughters pack lunch, she just looked at me with that teenage look 'we will' and went in the kitchen and done her own pack lunch for today. that told me. I also got in a stew over needing to get down to 17st as that is what me to get down at the clinic. I have 4 pounds to go and feel that I am not losing it I am being really good with food I even have joined slimming world so I can manage the weight and walking loads don't feel any lighter!! 11lbs gone just need that other 4 to go - being weighed tonight so will have to see....

Hello, your feelings and emotions are all over the place. I am now 8 months out, have only told 4 people and prefer to keep things to myself. No one knows as they are probably used to seeing you diet. Just keep the dream in your head of shopping for the wedding outfit and boy are you going to be excited to do that. Take a few deep breaths and get through the pre op days then it will be done and you will be on the losers bench. Good luck.
