Good question. Mine would b T b able t walk up stairs without knee pain and gettin out of breath To enjoy a walk without it being a chore T b able t buy normal size clothes and t feel good in them T look at my reflection in shop windows am Nd think. Ok I look slim. Instead of. Oh god I'm fat To sit comfortably in a plane and able t put the lap tray down properly T not b diabetic anymore T stop hubby commenting on what I'm eating Stopping there as I could prob add loads more with some thought

Congrats on weight already lost. My date is 10th dec. exited but nervous. Normal emotions. Keep I touch x

Best of luck. Keep me posted on your progress

These have all bin good. My op in two weeks and was too afraid t ask about the pain to be honest. Is it the belly button they remove stomach from. Bit worried as had tummy tuck where they re positioned it

My op is on 10 dec. I was prepared t do the pre op diet but my surgeon told me don't bother. He finds no difference so don't need t do it. Am gettin nervous but am focusing on the nice clothes I can buy and how different hopefully I will feel x

Hi. I'm booked for 10th. Wish it was earlier. From uk

Lolly locks. I am havin surgery in two weeks Time. I haven't weighed myself in months. Too afraid t. I intend not t have a goal weight, but go by how I feel and my dress size. One I reach a size I am happy wit I will prob have t weigh and try t maintain that size. I think you should assess how u feel at this moment and decide if ur happy with it or not I have been obsessed with weighing in th past and would get so down if scales went up. But as we know the female body retains water certain times of the month, can weigh differently am or pm, and can change every day. I can't b doing with this, so in the hopefully not too far distance I will prob regulate by how my clothes feel on me. Best wishes xx

This is very natural following any surgery. Not sure if it's related t anaesthetic or not. But just think of what you have been through leading up t the op. Constant guilt feelings every time you ate, frustration and feelings of failure every time you weighed or struggled t get comfortable in your clothes. If like me the rows between hubby every time he made a comment on my size, how I looked and what I eat, (which were daily). The decision to go ahead with this op is monumental regarding possible risks, wondering will it actually work, because nothing has worked before? My op is in two weeks, and I wonder should I go for it or should I just follow a diet. Other people will say ' why can't she just stick t a diet '. I don't know why I cant. It's so hard. I am goin ahead with surger, despite all th voices in my head saying different, and my sisters saying ' don't do it. If you've had the op three weeks r u starting t get out and do things. Maybe start exercising gently, have a maggage, d ur nails, treat yourself to something nice. Hope you feel better soon. Would love to follow your progress. I'm sure you will do well. Shows how strong you are by just going through this op. Not many people could xx

Hi. Mine is booked for 10 th. So I feel exactly the same as you. Best of luck. We will follow each other's progress x
