Hi everyone!
Ive been reading this forum for almost a year now and not posted... was gonna post a while ago but my laptop broke - bummer!
Anyways, Im due to be banded on Sunday, this sunday, like 4 days away!!!
Very quickly, I went to my GP about 18months ago, went to the seminar at sunderland in July last year, saw the dietician in October and was meant to see consultant in April. It was put back to Sep. Saw him in sept and that was it, it was agreed! I was told it would be about 4-6 months til surgery and then I got a call 2 weeks ago and told it was Nov13th!! It feels quick, but Im ready!
Im on day 8 of my milk diet now, Im actually finding it ok... even though I go to bed and my tummys rumbling! Im gonna blow my own trumpet now, but Ive not cheated once! Go me!!
I suppose because I know whats coming, Ive come to terms with the not eating... however, my mum made some reference to pork pies at the weekend and I cant get them out of my head. I presume its normal to fixate on something like that! ha.
The only thing Im craving really is meat... protein I think... hopefully it wont be too long until I can have some form of meat.
Anyways, Im waffling.
I just want to say how great this site is at really letting people know every angle of getting surgery, the cravings, the sickness, the excitement, worries, fall outs with family etc. Its been so informative and helpful. So thankyou everyone!
