My surgery is at 1.00pm UK time so 8am US time. Tammy if I drink anymore water I'm going to float away. I'm about 3-3.5Ls everyday. My meals are 1 weetabix, 2 small pieces of fruit, a salad lunch with 50g protein and dinner is 50g protein either a small potato or 2 tablespoons of rice and veg. I'm taking my vitamins as well. Today I've added some nuts because I'm just drained. Guess my lady free appearing doesng help with the tiredness.

Congrats I am super excited as well wish the time could move faster lol How's the pre-op diet going Tammy? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App It's going great just sometimes the smell of food makes me miss it but I keep saying it's for the best and the 4th around the corner first day was like what the heck but now it's like I can do this I feel a lot better to lost 20lbs so that's a plus lol how's yours going? Well done on the loss!! I've only lost 12lbs so far hoping to get another 5 off before surgery. This morning I had no appetite at all but now I'm very hungry about to have my salad lunch. Thinking about having a bar or shake for dinner. I am so tired thought I'd get over that by now. We have an added bonus that we have to move out of house into a flat for a month due to house flood so battling that too at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I agree. I have a dress and a very beautiful skirt I have been waiting to wear. I can't wait to wear them. NSV!!

I swear it seems to be getting harder everyday but haven't cheated. Can't believe it's a week away!!

Sugar free chocolate pudding made with skim,unsweetened almond,or cashew milk Sent from my SM-G360T using the BariatricPal App Haven't found chocolate pudding here yet in England ????

Thanks for the help. Might try to get some sugar free jelly. My NUT wants me to eat normally before pre-op so no shakes or bars for me. I will get some on my way home.

Day 9 of pre-op diet. Period has come and I want sugar and chocolate (sorry men) what can I do to get over this jump besides drink lots of water and wee'ing for England?

Lots of us scheduled for next Tuesday!! Next Tuesday EEK!! Hope you guys are doing OK on the pre-op diet.

Day 8 of pre-op diet. The hunger has subsided mostly but he tiredness hasn't. Is it bad that I'm looking forward to the op so I can sleep? Lol

I agree the UK diet is very different than the US. They do lots of Protein shakes and I've been told to eat normal and cut back. I've lost 11lbs in 7 days which is great pre-op. 8 days to go til surgery!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can you post the UK forum because when I looked the only one I found was UK sleevers and not many responses Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm looking forward to losing the weight but also being healthy. Can't wait for the NSV as well. 8 days til surgery and 11lbs down so far on the pre-op diet!! ????

That's good to know ????. How are feeling now? How long ago did you have your surgery? I went to the UK forum and looks like no one has written on it since 2014.

Yes I'm having mine at Spire with Dr Byrne.

You won't have to do a pre-op diet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App After the first initial meeting with my surgeon in July, I started substituting one meal a day with the protein drink and began drinking 32-64 oz. of water. By the middle of August I increased it to two protein drinks and 64 oz. of water As of Sept .20th, I have been on the complete pre-op diet. Awesome. Welcome to the 4th October surgery club!!
