Yes, they are very creamy. You may need to blend the Skyr down with some skimmed milk or water post-op.Thanks - I bought some of the small pots of skyr last night. Quite expensive and I found them very creamy (which isn't a texture I like) but sticking with it as want to use them for post op as seem a good option protein wise.
Hi Andy, welcome to the November surgeries thread! Good luck with everything. Keep us posted!Hi all, I am booked in for my Pre Op on 2nd November and then RNY gastric bypass on Sat 26th November at St Richards in Chichester. I am counting down the days until i can join the losers bench but a little anxious about the whole thing too. Hopefully i will only have to do 2 weeks on the Pre Op diet but will find out Wednesday morning.
Good luck. Hope to hear from you in a day or two. Will be thinking of you.Hi to the November Newbie
Just a quick message as will be leaving shortly to the hospital for my sleeve tomorrow. Last night was a rollercoaster hell and wanted to cancel for 2 hours. I think this is normal. The fear is frightening but the logical head brought me back to my senses. After all being bariatric specialistist team I am being in the best hands. I am feeling it is now the start of a second chance rather than years of health decline. I will log back on this eve once settled. X

That's right, I've to have vitamin b12 every 3 months, calcichew tablets, omeprazole and folic acid every day.Yes bmi 40-50 is 3 weeks. I've managed to get theough the day and as I'm at work now I have one meal to go so looking forward to that later.
Has anyone heard about having to have but b12 injections every 3 months following surgery. It's the first I've heard of this today I was under the impression that a-z bits and minerals would be sufficient but today I'm told calcium tablets and vit b 12 injections by a friend of a friend. Is that true??
Keep up the good work with the pre op diet folks
Thanks Iwannabe, Dolly and Mrs N. on ward in admissions. 2 of us here to be done but only 1 bed so far, the person who arrived after me has gone down to ward. I hope they don't send me home I can't go through this again
Theyre probably waiting for someone being discharged - you know how slow it can be. I'm sure youll be tucked up in no time. Good luck. ps glad youve got someone else having it done rather than being alone.Thanks Iwannabe, Dolly and Mrs N. on ward in admissions. 2 of us here to be done but only 1 bed so far, the person who arrived after me has gone down to ward.

Hi Jakki, we're next on the list! How are you feeling? Im going away for the weekend, hopefully it will keep me occupied and stop me dwelling on it. Back home Sunday, then fly to Brussels early Monday morning.Good luck x
Im actually getting calmer the near it gets, mostly, still scared, but I just want it done and to start my new life, time seems to be dragging, this has been the longest week ever and the worst thing in the world for me is having too much time to think xHi Jakki, we're next on the list!
