[jojo22674]

hi just had my surgery date 12 th July OMG that's 2 weeks tomorrow...... sooooo nervous but not so much for the surgery as Ive had a couple of major ops but more the after of getting it right regarding knowing what's best to eat and finding what I can and can't eat ! I've been lurking in the background ( sounds so wrong lol ) for a few months now reading posts and other amazing Weight loss journeys just trying to get bits of info id love to speak to someone going through the same journey I'm having the sleeve and it's all happened quite quick as I had my first consultation 8th may saw dietician 17 June and had the phone call today with my surgery date I've looked into all types of different procedures and found this the right one for me I've watched you tube for months which I found really helpful ,I start my shakes tomorrow which I'll be on till surgery day

Yeah I started it yesterday I'm having shakes and a small meal my dietitian actually gave me the option if which one to do i.e.: low cal , portion control or shake supplements so I chose shakes as I've done Cambridge before so I know what I'm letting myself in for lol and first 2 weeks are the hardest I think on any diet what pre op diet have they put you on ? I've heard loads of people do the milk diet on here !most importantly enjoy your holiday and make the most of all that wonderful food lol x

Hi jojo
I've seen a couple of your posts over the last few days and can see (or it appears) you are really really nervous around the whole process. I was just wondering if your'e feeling any more re-assured since your pre-op app today? Is there anything in particular that's worrying you that somebody on the forums could possibly offer you some info or support with?

Hi Molly thank you so much for your interest I'll try and elaborate a little here lol I've had 2 major ops within the space of 6 weeks .
I was lay on my tummy on a hard floor and felt a little uncomfortable after prodding around I felt a lump ! cut a long story short while having numerous scans and more investigation they found which was confirmed as a huge cyst on my ovary apparently the size of a watermelon anyway one of the scans also found cancer in one of my kidneys so there we have it all done and dusted now thankfully,
But part of my kidney was removed along with ALL traces of the cancer that was in April 2015 then 6 weeks after a total hysterectomy which they advised because of the cancer which was fine by me it was open surgery and I have to give full credit to both my surgeons as my scarring is sooooo neat oh I've also had 2 Caesarian sections so I'm up to date with all pros and cons of surgery but hell was i in pain after with the gas they fill you up with when you have keyhole everybody is different and I think bcuz it's happened once it's bound to happen again I think I can say it's that that's making me nervous it was excruciating don't want to scare anybody but I'd go through a million open surgeries than have that pain phewww
oh yeah nurse was lovely at pre op today I've decided I've just got to get on with it it'll be over in no time ouch !!!!!! Feeling a little better bet your sorry you asked now lol xx

Wow you have had a rough time of it! If you can cope with what you've already been though you can definitely do this. As you say; it will be over in no time and it will be so worth it.
Keep on using the forum support. I am finding that everybody is so supportive and understanding. Really gives you boost to keep on going.
