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
