Hi all x I'm about to start my pre op diet for a gastric band. I hope I'm doing the right thing. I mean should I pay the extra and get the bypass. I'm so excited

it depends on your eating habbits the band will give restriction on portion control, if your a sweet eater, chocs, cakes and nibble through out the day then a bypass would be better x

I know but I am self funded so I just couldn't pay the extra £2,800 on top of what I'm paying already :-( I can't wait any longer not long to go

Hi i am in the same boat but I have 10 stone to loose :cry: but could not afford gastric bypass and was worried about risk etc. so I decided on the band because even if I loose 4 stone it's better than where I am at at the min. Then hopefully can start exercise to help with the weight loss xx

The first few weeks no although when preparing my daughters food found myself picking and just about to put in my mouth lol habits I guess as wasn't hungry. 3rd and 4th week felt hungrier but not starving or snacking. Today I've had 2 small latte a protein bar (breakfast) and a tortilla wrap with chicken tikka bits and mint yogurt dressing - totally full and won't need anything else till about 6:30 7 ish when ill have Thai fish cake and some carrots x
For me a lot was/is bad habits eating just because that huge bar of chocolate is in the fridge or piling my plate so high because I loved chips etc
You will do great as long as you follow the guidelines and don't cheat - your only cheating yourself x
My protein bar gives me my chocolate fix - find alternatives that are better for you x
Set yourself some small goals, trust me there is no feeling better than the compliments you get on how good you are looking x
I still haven't told anyone I've had it done other than my partner lol

Yeah x I've told my husband (obviously) it's our money we are spending and I made him come to all my consultations with me so he knew how desperately unhappy I was . My best friend who lives in Dubai now- she knows only cos we have done lighter life, Cambridge, weight watchers, slimming world and protein diets together. I've not told my sister because I think she would try and make me fail (in a sisterly way) and not told my mum cos she will worry x x

I know exactly what you mean, I was worried about being judged my close mates are size 8-10 and they complimented me last week on weight loss, told them I had another 4 stone to go and they both said oh god no only lose another stone you won't be you - lol
Losing weight is hard enough without people waiting for you to fail x

We have just come back from holiday where we stayed at my hubby's parents house. It took her 3 days to have a dig at me about my weight #cow
