I am already on the case........

Hi All,

I am so glad I found this site - I am due to have a gastric bypass with Mr Shamsi El-Hasani at Chelsfield Park Hospital on Sunday 16th January 2011 (next week!) - very excited but still slightly apprehensive - but this site is putting my mind at ease

I have been battling with my weight since a child and with a lifetime of yo-yo dieting and a lot of soul searching over the past 2 years I have decided (with the help of my very supportive boyfriend) to take the plunge and have a gastric bypass. :bliss:

I have been on the pre-op diet for a week now - I must say it is not bad compared to some I have read - lots of chicken, white fish, green veg and salad - a bit bland but at least you can fill yourself up on veg - oh I forgot to mention that they recommend at least 4 eggs a day too - bleurghhhhhh. :jelous: I should count my blessing though as I am not sure I could've coped on a shake only diet!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello :grouphugg: really but as per usual I started to ramble - I am sure you will be hearing plenty from me from now on.....

PS - If anyone else is on My El-Hasani's list for surgery then I would love to hear from you and maybe we can compare notes xx

Hi Katyloo,
I too am having my bypass with Nr El Hasani on the 13th Feb at Chelsfield. I'm fairly new to this site but have already found some members who have had Mr EH and the've said we are in safe hands.....
So glad you are finding the pre-op diet ok as I'll be starting that in a couple of weeks..
I'm sure we'll meet at one of the support meetings but in the meantime good luck with the rest of your diet week and I look forward to sharing notes and hearing about your progress over the coming weeks.

Becks xx

Hello and thanks for your messages

Becks and Rose - I most certainly look forward to meeting you at the support group at Chelsfield!

Becks - good luck with the pre-op diet and your surgery - if you need any recipe ideas to help the diet seem less bland then give me a shout - my chicken fried rice (without the frying and rice lol) is delicious and without it I think I would have been strayed .....

Rose - it looks like you are doing really well - how is it going/feeling?
