Well all done. Unfortunately they couldn't fit the telemetric but the upside to that is I get a one thousand pound refund!! Very swolen and bruised but not in any pain. Back home and feeling quite fit really. Amazed at how much I have drunk since the op but very thirsty.

Well band is fitted tomorrow. So nervous today.
Don't even want to eat - even if I could.
Can't wait for it all to be over now and to be back home Monday.

Can't believe how I can stick to this soup and shake diet but I can't stick to a diet when there is plenty to eat. Cheat all the time. Guess it's because I know there is surgery at the end of it.
Have all my work finished now so have nearly two weeks to myself to totally relax and recover from the banding. Less than 48 hours now - really excited, and scared at the same time.

Getting pretty boring really. Managing to stick to shakes, soups, fresh fruit and veges. Just waiting for Sunday to come. Paid for band yesterday [mon] so no turning back now.

Day 3 pre-op Saturday
· GC53 · 03/03/2007 19:48
Saturday -
Had a strawberry shake with fresh strawberries for breakfast.
Lunch had Chicken soup and some steamed veges.
Mid afternoon - vanilla shake
Evening meal - steamed brocolli, sprouts and carrots.
Feeling really pleased - funny knowing you HAVE to do this pre op makes you stick to it. I thought last night - so why can't you stick to a strict diet like this all the time???????
Supposed to have four shakes and two soups - along with 5 portions of fruit or veg. Stuggling to fit in all of the soups and shakes.
