Hi amy, i'll be watching your progress. All being well, i should start mine next friday.
They say it's the hardest diet to do (and god we'v done them all, haven't we) but when you feel weak just remember whats at the end of it.
Good luck and keep posting sue.

[Mixman]

Just want to say good luck. Put your mind to it, it's not for that long and imagine the rewards at the end

Good Luck on your pre op, I started mine a bit early, I only needed to be on it 10 days but 3 days in already and 10 days till op lol, glutton for punishment.

I think the hardest thing about the pre op is nto what we are eating but the fact that we HAVE to do it or there is a possiblity of no op. Well thats the hardest bit for me.

You will be fine theres loads of support on here to help you along.

Thanks everyone! Still bricking it though!
Roch, i am at the whittington like you. You can do the slimfast two week one if you want. They just don't tell you about it. I only knew about through another patient and had to phone lucy the dietitian when i went for my pre op assessment and ask her if i could do it. She said yes, asked why i wanted it and then i met her to get the diet sheet for it. So to cut a long story short, you can do two weeks too if you want!!!

Good luck & keep remembering this is the start of healthy,slim new life Yippee

Hi Amy,i do remember Lucy mentioning it at the info meeting but thought it was for a month, did not realise it was for 2 weeks.
Hun how long was it from ur first info meeting till ur op was it a smooth journey for you or did u have to go through lots of hoops first.
Soz for the questions hun have a fab day and am sure these 2 weeks will fly by xxxx

Hi Amy, just want to wish you luck on your pre op diet. It really is worth doing it and sticking to it if you keep reminding yourself "WHY" you're doing it.xx

 

[amysbypass]

Thanks everyone once again! I am completely starving and its only day two of this pre op diet! I know i will soon get used to it though. Just wish that would happen sooner rather than later.
Roch, i had my education session last november and my op is on 21st of this month. So that means 9 months wait and yes i had a lot of hiccups along the way!
