Will your friends know you have had the surgery?

@@Oxfordjilly I hate injections, really hate them but did them for 14 days after discharge from hospital. Check why with your team Wiltshire - kate

So nice and thoughtful of you to do that Congratulations on the surgery and speedy recovery!

Whohoooooo Congratulations and speedy recovery to all who have had surgery and best wishes to those heading to surgery!

I didn't have to wait too long and I am in England. Best of luck!!

You can say that again! That really made me laugh!!

BBQ them before stuffing them!

I went back for too early because I felt guilty that others were managing my caseload. I really wish I hadn't though and if I had my time again I'd have longer off. Be kind to yourself, the work will always be there but you will never get the recovery time you should afford yourself!

Same as Chris really. We don't have support groups where I liv in Englande, nor much follow up with the team apart from 6 weeks, 3 months and 1 year. They are always there if I need them though, however I chose to read and learn from others in support groups rather than keep contacting them. I was on a lot when I was recovering from surgery and tend to be here (in the background) if I am working from home. I wouldn't say I was addicted though and quite often stay logged in when I am not here because its easier than keep logging in.

Hope you hear back soon

Best of luck with your application!!

Interested, so following.

Congratulations!!

Wow! Congratulations Jenn. Amazing

I feel the cold a lot more now than I did before surgery.

You will smash it !! Just remember every day gets better and before you know it your life will have changed beyond recognition. Best wishes for a good surgery and speedy recovery

16th November = 157lbs I am away on holiday from Wednesday 18th November so next weigh in will be 7th of December. Please can you note this and not drop me from the group!! Thanks

Happy belated birthday to youuuuu Elode ????

Myself.. I no longer try to hide dressed in black.

Great post and very interesting to read. Stick around please, we need more people like you!!

Drink as much as you can working up to min of 64 oz of fluids a day. Congrats on the surgery and speedy recovery !!

Once I am at goal I might try thin toast. I am sick of eggs without anything to crunch with them, maybe just at the weekends when I up my carbs anyway. I stay away from crackers as I could eat the whole packet whereas I was never overly fussed about bread.

Once again I am off shopping today and a couple of new bra's is top of the list. I was 44DD now in a 38D and I have a feeling from the fit of this bra now that I will be down to a 36C. I didn't think I would be but honestly, I am over the moon about it

It’s normal to be nervous before the surgery, I think we all go through the questioning in our heads. Is this right for me? Will it be painful? How am I going to cope with so little food in the first few months? And on and on. However we all get through it and I can honestly say that it’s been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Believe in yourself and your inner strength, you CAN do it. Congratulations
