I was just updating the dates thread and noticed you two are next up, have you started your pre-op diets yet?

How are you both feeling, are you ready for the op?

started pre op diet early just to get used to not eating. i am doing slimfast and soup even though was told i could do 1000 calories a day because my bmi is quite low, the trouble with me is that once i start eating i cant stop,hence why i'm having the band fitted. i feel fairly calm at the moment compared to last week when i was a bag of nerves, but that could change again as the op draws nearer. i think i feel a little anxious because i have to go on my own because my husband only has one days annual leave left, which he is taking on the friday when i come home so i have booked the chaffeur service with wga. i'm sure everything will be fine and i'm sure others have been through this on their own as well. x

Sounds really positive Julieann There have been a few ladies that have been on their own, some through circumstances and some through choice. My husband took compassionate leave for mine, which should have been unpaid but his company were nice and paid him.

If the nerves come back remember you've got loads of support here, there's pretty much always someone online!

thanks shel, still feeling fairly calm, but have started with a sore throat today so panicking a bit and dosing myself up with anything and everything as i would be gutted if a sore throat would ruin my chances of this op

hi dee mr sigurdsson is fitting my band, is that who you had? i live in cambridgeshire, so quite a long way from bromsgrove hence why i have paid for the chauffeur service

 

[Deebol]

Yeah I had Mr Sigurdsson he is really nice, blimey how much has the chauffer service cost you?

How much weight you want to lose? You should get a ticker going

dee xx

 

[julieann]

hi dee the chauffeur service cost £149 return which i didnt think was too bad considering the distance, only downside is that he is picking me up at about five thursday morning which was confirmed by rachael benett today, still i suppose i half expected that. As for my weight my bmi is 31 so i have about three stone to lose and as for the ticker i still haven't worked out how to do it yet as i'm not really up on this computer lark!
