My Journey to a better life ;D +**

[Shabbs12]

I Everyone! My Diary begins....
I am 27 and live in Bristol and I have two very gorgeous children and a loving husband and if it wasn't for my weight I would be the happiest woman in the world!
I have chosen the Gastric Band and have 10 stone to lose.
So i have just completed the first stage...the pre op tests (bloods etc) and am going to have my endoscopy tomorrow afternoon ;-/
Hating the pre op diet I am on day two (yogurt diet) but will succeed
Feeling very positive, Good luck to everyone on their journeys...mine couldn't come soon enough!
Much love X

Good luck to you I've just recently had my band done (6 weeks ago today) and I so wish I'd had it done much earlier. I've already lost 3 stone, but more than anything, it has helped me focus on my eating habits, how and what I eat and to make positive healthy changes to my eating habits and lifestyle. It isn't an answer, but it is a tool and it can be one which can give you a lot to work with

Hiya, good luck to you as well. What date are you having your op? I'm down for 22nd and on 5th day of my Pre-op. I'm so glad I found this site as there are fantastic people all at different stages of their own personal journey, I've really learnt loads , and asked a few things I felt too silly to ask at my providers, everyone is so supportive and helpful! Keep us posted on your progress x

Hi Sas thanks for the well wishes, my op is the 10th of October, the pre op diet is hard isn't it ;( we will get there before we know it though!
Yes this site has been a real help especially in deciding which surgery to go for
Good luck to you too!

So I'm have the endoscopy today, I'm not aloud any food or drink after 7.30 am until after I have had it done this afternoon so here I am up early whacking back a couple of yogurts, tea and water ;D
Felt a bit sick getting up but that's down to having a nightmare about me choking ;( X

 

[Shabbs12]

Omg just had the endoscopy done...it was horrid I was really sensitive to it and gagged like mad the whole way through ;( feeling abit emotional and having seconds thoughts...they just put you right off when they talk you through all the things that could go wrong ;( X

You'll be fine, it's what they have to tell you to cover themselves but all will be ok. Hope you feel a little less sickly now hon. I'm glad I'm not getting one of them, sounds awful. Have you managed to eat at all today? X

 

[kellsbells]

Aww him they're not the most pleasant things but it's done now plus they have to tell you all the bad things to cover themselves I was sedated for an endoscopy yrs ago thank god! Hope your feeling better soon xxx
