Thank you

I'm really looking forward to it. It feels like a fresh new start. I was being referred with the NHS but I know how long it takes which is why I went private. If you're fed up of the wait, private isnt as expensive as you might think. It cuts out the waiting and adds a little bit of luxury.

I keep getting random rushes of nerves when I think about BBQ's, Christmas Dinner, buffets etc. They were all such a big part of my life but now I kind of have to get over them. As much as I can always find alternatives and still enjoy them to an extent, it wont be the same and that makes me sad but I'm ready to be new.

 

[Jonicorn]

Well that will give you a real big boost bloody well done babe your doing brilliantly and only 10 more to go xx

I can't believe I only have 10 days to go. I cant believe it.
I still need to post the before pics. I'll try and remember this weekend.

I found a cheeky tip to make my yogurt last longer and fill me..

Instead of scooping it out, I just drip the spoon in, cover it in yogurt and then shake the excess yogurt off. Its silly, but working!

 

[slimkim]

Thats a good way to have your yogurt to make it last. Thats how I had mine post op and it'll surprise you how quickly you'll get full doing that. It makes you have small bits of liquid at a time. Good luck with the next 10 days.x

Thank you.
Ive been reading your thread today from -36 days and you've done absolutely amazingly. I considered overseas but Im a bit of a wimp and would just be scared about the new environment etc.
I can't wait until I've lost a considerable amount

Thank you! I’ve been good thank you. Went and did some shopping with my sister. Walking past Mac Donald’s and KFC like they don’t exist, even went to Asda to get some more shakes and nothing fazed me. It’s definitly a lot easier now.

Bought my pj’s for my hospital stay, decided on a night dress, light dressing gown and some lovely memory foam slippers. Picked up a top with support so I don’t have to wear a bra and also some chewy multivitamins.

I had my blood pressure done on a machine in boots which takes a lot longer than a doctor but it’s ever so fancy so. My blood pressure is normal and my weigh in confirmed a 7lb loss since Monday along with confirmation that I am an inch smaller than I thought which is frustrating because I’m only tiny anyway lol.

 

[Jonicorn]

As promised, this is me a couple of weeks ago at my start weight on holiday in Morocco, a very rare sighting of me lol

It's getting closer now! I'm so excited for you. In regards to your night dress do you know if you'll have stomach wounds that they'll need to check? If so this is why many opt for top and bottom sets. That way you're not exposed every time they need to check drain or wounds. Also a sport bra or bra with no wire is great for keeping your girls off any wounds.

 

[Irene44]

Yeah well done you all those challenging places proud of you girl xx. Good on you for your picture it will be fab to compare later. You look very pretty by the way you are doing so very well xx exciting exciting xx

Ooooh I didn’t think of that. That’s a good excuse for me to buy some more jammies lol! I picked up a couple of wireless bras today and was pleasantly surprised because I thought they would be useless but they’re actually okay. I’m having a thorough read through my booklet from the hospital and it’s scary to think it will all be happening in just over a week!

Thank you I’m really nervous now, I’ve never been under general anaesthetic before which is making me a bit uneasy but I’m sure I’ll be fine. I’m a little apprehensive about the pain, I have a high pain threshold usually which is why I’m covered in tattoos but I’m not sure what to expect xxx

Yeah, I’m keeping my heart in it now. I’ve never been so focussed. I’ve read the book front to back and it was really useful!

Today’s weird because I have absolutely no appetite. I had a small yogurt for breakfast and then a slimfast shake for lunch and that’s it....I know it’s not good because I need to eat but I just cant bring myself to have another shake lol.
Might have my yogurt allowance and then force a shake down me before my tummy starts growling

This week will fly by. Do really try to have your shakes and yoghurts, as you are going to need all your energy reserves for after your op. Do you take multivitamins too?
You are so close now, so happy for you
