That's really good. I'm not going to have anything put in until a fill 6 weeks later so I'm worried I wont lose anything until I get restriction. Want to lose some weight before my big holiday in may

Hi Gemby, how you feeling, are you getting all psyched up and excited like me? I've started my Pre-op, 4 days in now and feeling fine (just hungry)! Supposed to start Monday but wanted to know how I would manage before returning to work. In past I've done all sorts of fad diets and felt faint and dizzy, so wanted to Pre-test this. It's ok, just hungry at night, so clean my teeth early and in bed ASAP
hope you get on ok hon, let me know XX

Hi misselvis, not long for you to wait either how are you doing on the Pre-op diet?
I'm on various pills also, ones for high BP, and PCOS. Just went out to get soluble co-codomol and windeze, preparation is best. I also got advised by a fellow bander to pick up some extra dressings for the little incisions, they come off when you have a shower. Just got 18 of them from sainsburys they were only 20p each! All set now, just wishing the day would arrive!!! X

I've been struck down with the worst cold I've had in ages so off work today =( Will this affect me having the op? I should be all better by the 22nd. People at work are starting to talk more about my op and asking questions which is nice but also nerve-wracking. Start milk and yogurt diet Monday, starting to feel like this is actually happening!!
How are you doing SAS1??? x

Hiya, not too bad. Sorry to hear you are not well at the moment, poor thing, try rest up so you'll be in tip top condition for our op day!
I'm now on day 4 but it's nowhere near as rigid as your diet, so cant complain really. I've been logging all my food on my fitness pal, been having around 900 to 1000 cals a day. It also gives you a breakdown of carbs and protein, which is good to keep track of.Not been doing much with having a bad knee, but back to work on Friday so the hunger will prob hit worse then, and my old pal "food" will not be my crutch anymore! Hope you get a good nights sleep and feel better tomorrow x

Well... not feeling much better, if at all. Will be going to this wedding medicated to the hilt and hoping time goes quickly =(
However, have just done weekly online Tesco Order and have ordered a crazy amount of milk and mullerlights along with multivits. Feeling very real now, and very milky!!!!!!!! Quite exciting... I'll have to remember this in a few days when I'm starving and begging for a biryani!!

Ah I'm sorry to hear that, I feel a bit rough today got a pain from my ear to throat, hope it'll go by tomorrow as back in work
Try get as much rest as possible and maybe a bowl of hot water, so the steam can humidify the air. I know it's horrid having to go out when you feel awful.
Funny you should mention biryani, my mum makes a mean one (she is Indian), its my fave, I've banned her from cooking anything like that while on my Pre-op, don't want to even smell it when I go round as can't resist!!! I'm quite pleased as lost 4lb already so 2 more weeks I'm hoping will take to 10lb minimum!!! All helps with my knee as well.
Hope you get a good night tonight and feel better tomorrow hon x

Hope you feel better soon! I'm all packed up and ready to go now. That's a good point about the dressings. I'll get some from work tomorrow.

Lucky you, i hope they made a fuss of you, how did it go? Hope all the fambo spoil you tomorrow too, they must be excited for you
I lied to my boss today, told him I have to have blood tests etc for food intolorence, said I was waiting on the date to go, just paving the way so I can get time off to get my Pre-op tests done, without him knowing (sneaky smile).
