Joining the gang next week ?

[katebancroft1981]

Hello all....

Well I'm booked in for my band next Tuesday at the Pines Hospital!

I am so scared but excited at the same time... I have 3-4 stone to lose!

I am going to be on my own at home post op because my other half has had a trip to Vegas planned for ages.. Charming that I will be at home when he is living it up!

Anyway I am just planning to completely rest and chill out for the week!

Any advice for the first couple of days post op?

My advice would be do as little as possible. Get your food ready before the op & freeze soups etc & have lots of pillows in bed. Get peppermint tea for the wind pain & make the most of the honeymoon period. Good luck

Thanks Emma ? great advice! I'm off work all week so plenty of rest, movies and books I think!

I think I'm more nervous about coming round from the op! I only have to do 5 days pre op diet so not too bad!! ?

I'm just going to stick to shakes and yoghurt afterwards!

Got a holiday at the end of August so would love to see some weight shift before then!

What's the average loss in the first 6 weeks?

Hi Kate

I'm booked in for my band on the 11th and starting to worry about it but looking forward to the other side. Xx

 

[katebancroft1981]

Not long then... I know, I just want to fast forward 3 months!

I am sure we will be fine and feel much happier when we start losing! X

Wow That's fantastic ? I'm 13stone 9 so similar to you... How much did you lose in the first 2 months? I'm going on holiday at the end of August and would like to lose a bit before that xx

Good luck for your upcoming surgery! I absolutely love my band. Although it seemed very slow going to begin with, I'm now at a point where I have lost all that I wanted to lose and more so now it's all about maintaining. Have I mentioned that I love my band?
