Ok so it may not be going to OUR plan, but it is going to A plan and it looks like all three of us London ladies will be in the Losers bench by Christmas. Something to look forward to, no?

Hi ladies. Sorry it has taken so long to reply. Yes it looks as if we will be on the loser's bench by Christmas. My surgeon did say she will try to do surgery before my big birthday because I was so hoping to go on holiday.

Hi Limedog have you had any news on your surgery date. I was nearly given the 18th October then was told they had to delete that date because my surrgeon was on holiday. I should be nearer the top of the list but still have to wait for a while (staying positive :):))

Hi Nicole the questionnaire I believe is to assess your suitability as well as give them an idea of your health and how weight impacts your life. Good luck on your journey please keep us posted x

Started the milk diet today OMG I heard it was challenging but this seriously makes me not want to come out of my bed until the war is over. On a lighter note anxiety is not affecting me as much now but I am feeling more tired than normal

Hi - great news you have your date. I'm having a sleeve on 11.11.16 and a good few days into the milk diet. It's tough going isn't it but stay focused on the end result! Come and join us in the November surgery group. Not long til losers bench.

I found it got better about three days in, so hopefully you'll be hitting that point soon. Fingers crossed you're feeling better.

The tiredness is normal. Are you taking any vits? It does get better, honest. Just picture that liver shrinking, or even better, waking up in the recovery room to find they had sewed you up without doing it as your liver was too big! I really worried that I wasn't going to cope with it, but was given that as motivator and it worked. All that hard work over the months for possibly nothing.

Try and find things you can do to distract you. Bed is the worst place you can be...

Pleased the anxiety is not so much of a problem, that is a major bonus. :)
