I had a lap band removed last year. I have a hernia from where it was attached, I've just told people I'm having that repaired which I am during the gastic sleeve. Buy I'm not telling people about the sleeve.

Great news, congratulations xx

Arhhh where's the edit button on the app! *I told myself not I don't mind self.

I'm day 5 of pre-op diet, I lost 2kg (4.4pounds) but that was 3 days ago. I'm trying to remember is a marathon not a sprint. My 6 month old is weaning of demand breastfeeding so my body is also going through that change. I have 4 weeks of pre-op diet ???? I went to my sister in law's dinner birthday last night. I don't mind self I wasn't allowed any cake so if course I got annoyed with myself and had two slices! I'm also not telling anyone, so I got into the mindset of having to eat "normal" so they don't notice which is a dangerous mindset. Today is a new day to work on my healthier lifestyle changes. @@shoodle72 lol I'm exactly the same. I can get a pre-made shake down here which is sometimes easier with 3 kids in the morning all demanding Breakfast right this minute! Good luck everyone xx

Ahhh auto correction is not great, sorry for the mistakes!

It's great that you have reached out now! Take a deep breath abd be kind to yourself. It's in our nature to make mistakes, everyone days. You've made a mistake but you realise it and are reaching out now. Try some mindfulness videos on YouTube. They can help stay in the moment. I'm struggling on my preop date, I haven't had carbs in 3 days. I've tried knitting because I'm not very good at it I have to concentrate more on the task. Good luck xx

I told my husband and psychiatrist. Others I'll say I'm on a diet. Had a lap band removed last year and I've had a few issues with heart burn during my lady pregnancy so I've cut out a few things. Having had the lap band and telling everyone, I definitely don't want to go through that again. I'll paved the way with doing more walking and telling people I'm watching what I eat. Good luck.

So I'm now on the pre-op diet. Anyone else think if they don't sick to it 100% they will fail? Anyone else been able to stick to it 100%? If you didn't, what did you do? Really struggling with my decision today. I'm getting overwhelmed with the anxiety. Trying to focus on the positive. Sent from my SM-G925I using the BariatricPal App

I had my freak out today, I was determined to call the surgeon on Monday pushing the operation back because life is crazy with 3 kids. But I'll wait till Monday afternoon to see how I still feel and go from there. Hope today was better for you xx Sent from my SM-G925I using the BariatricPal App
