Hi, I'm new & loving this site

[MartiFan]

Hi to all the members

I've just registered here today after spending far too much of work's time reading the different postings. I love the support and advice that is offered to everyone and hope I can make some positive contributions of my own to help others out.

I have a date for surgery - 2nd March, and today was the first day of my pre-op liver diet. So far, so good!

I'm really excited about the op, just a bit anxious about how I am going to cope after it, knowing what to eat & how much. But then I think about getting on the scales & seeing the numbers go down every time & I know it will be worth it. It feels like I am going to get my life back, and I just think "Bring it on!"

Welcome x your date will be here in no time good luck x

a big warm welcome to you. You will have an abundance of advice from here so dont worry about not knowing what to eat as your team at your hospital will tell you what to do and everyone on here will always try their best to answer any questions you may have. There is always someone about to answer anything you have on your mind and dont be embarressed to ask away we all go through the same, I asked some questions that I thought were rediculous but it turned out others were thinking the same as me so it is a great place to turn to.
Hope your pre op diet goes well xxx

Hi There!

I have found the time I have spent on the WLS site in the last few weeks sooooo valuable. I have been using the site as a tool to aid my weight loss and a support system when I have been feeling a bit fragile and it has helped me no end!
Good luck as you start your journey!
