Are they the same brand as before or have you tried different one? Are they tablets, chewables? Do they have a high dose of Iron in them?

Sensible and perfectly said AvaFern.

Congratulations... well done. Keep up the good work !!

That is the same advice Popeye's marital counselor gave him. <Bursts out laughing> !!!

I use Protein Pasta on the VERY rare occassion I have pasta. Maybe 3 times in the past 16 months and even then just a couple of dessert spoons and after I have got my protein in. Kate

Goodness, so sorry to hear that ! Please let us know how you are when you are out and recovering xx

@KristenVSG2014t Good idea about a walker !

Congratulations and keep busy for the next two weeks and the time will fly by ! Kate

@@_Kate_ Following this post....my TT and Breast lift with augmentation is scheduled 10 days after yours. Having had brachioplasty in July and alot of pain with it, I am very nervous about this surgery but also looking forward to the end result. @@Djmohr Lets focus on the end result.. or at least try to lol !!

I met with four surgeons over the past few months and finally chose who I wanted to do my surgery. It has been booked for a couple of weeks now but today I had all the paperwork through the post and opening it made it feel all so much more real. Having the WLS didn't bother me at all. This is a lot more and I have to admit to being a little (okay a LOT) scared. I am having an extended TT, extended BL and upper/lower eyelid surgery. Later in the year I will be having an inner thigh lift. My last son was 13llb's at birth and I ended up having an emergency section and can remember clearly how I felt walking and Im sure this will be a lot worse. What did you do to prepare? Did you buy anything special to have at home for afterwards? Are there any books you could recommend reading? Any Tips, stories or 'I found this helpful' would be gratefully received!! Kate (shaking in her shoes)

My arms are fine, I go to the gym three times a week but the rest, well Im having cosmetic surgery in January!

I do.

@@jane7560 Congratulations

Hello to both of you and just to let you know there is a UK support group on the forums too.. Welcome

Goodness, beautiful in both photos but you look a totally different person. Go Girl !!

Wow, amazing stuff !!

It is tough but gets you in the right head space for after surgery When is your surgery? Kate

Of course you can !! You can do what you want. Sod the consequences. BUT Should you? Can you answer that yourself? Please take care

Congratulations and nice to meet you

Congratulations... the start of your new life. Good luck for tomorrow and a speedy recovery. Please keep in touch and let us know how you are! Kate

Same for me really. Sometimes I feel a bit of a fake as things have gone so well. I had a problem for a few months this year but well over it now and heading the right way again.

Oh that lovely feeling when you sit in a plane and you clunk and click without an extender and then try to guess the inches overlap you have... I will never get over that !!

I could lose weight, then I would gain it back plus a little, then I would lose it again, gain it back again plus a little.. and on and on. It's good that you are considering all options avaliable, read the forums, research, research and then research some more and then make an informed choice. That doesnt make you a 'punk' it makes you sensibe. Best of luck with your decision making and remember, WLS is a tool, not an answer. Really glad to see you here

No. Never. Nada. Hell no.

Oh I LOVE this.. great way to explain it Did your Mum understand?
