  7. Ah three of us let’s do this together then???? I was the same excited nervous but feeling a little daunted this evening as I was supposed to be having sleeve tomorrow but it’s third April now ,,, another two weeks of pre op. I’m on very low fat and hardly any carbs here too. Not ordered protein shakes/powder yet as yet as my daughter was going to go out and look about for me when she visits but I may order some now in advance. @maddiesmom @alchaley
  8. Me too @Nickycole86 I’m feeling quite daunted if I’m honest. I’ve done the pre op due three weeks already and now have to stay on it for another 2 weeks. All time off was booked and taxis booked ,, all now cancelled
  9. Ah surgery twins how are you feeling about things ? @MaddiesMomma
  10. Glad you’re doing well ,,,,aches are Probably where You’ve pulled you about. But ask about it anyway. Just to make sure. Hope you feel better soon.
  11. That sucks big time, I had to reschedule from Jan 17 to March 12, so I can certainly feel it with you, keep your head up, stay strong! Thanks it’s daunting isn’t it ? ive done the pre op three weeks already I have to stay on it another two weeks I am allowed some food but it’s very strict so another 2 weeks of hunger in front of me Early days for you then well done on getting through the first week How are you feeling ? @EJustice
  12. I was supposed to be a March Surgery (20th) but it’s now changed to April 3rd two weeks and counting.
  13. All packed and ready Surgery was tomorrow it’s just been delayed until 3rd April. So disappointed ,,,,

  15. Good luck for today let us know how you are when you can. I’m on 20th we’ll have to stay in touch
  16. Good for you , its no one else's business I'm due to have sleeve on March 20 and its my secret . Everyone I know would think its he easy route they wouldn't understand how dedicated you have to be to succeed and use this tool properly anyway. I'm sure you look amazing and feel great too. I'm hoping not to have questions as I've lost a bit of weight during pre op and they all think im being strict with food so fingers crossed it stays that way
  17. Aw he’s cute ,,, when are you hoping to go back to work ? I can’t believe I’m only 6 days away from op day. Praying I’m as well as a lot of you guys here
  18. Good luck for today let us know how you are when you can x

  20. Good luck let us know how you are as soon as you feel up to it
  21. @Nickycole86 hi I’m the 20th March too getting close isn’t it ? Eekkkkk How is the ore op diet going ? Im allowed food mostly salad and veg and very low in calories We’ll have to stay in touch xx
  22. Oh bless you. Not an easy start for you then @Neely keep sipping now because you don’t want to go back in. Maybe go for a few fresh air walks tomorrow and the gas pain will move ,, onwards x
  23. Hey! I’m still in the hospital, not much belly pain but SUPER tired. And of course the nurses come in constantly ?? The biggest pain I have is the air/gas they use to blow up your cavity to make it easier to see everything during surgery. Some of that gets trapped and moves up to the chest/ shoulder area. I’ve been doing little tiny burps but honestly, I’m ready for a BIG GNARLY BELCH! ? Too bed I can’t have a couple sips of Diet Coke, that would make me burp for sure! Happy to be on this side of the journey though! Good luck to everyone else! Hi @Neely oh bless you I’ve heard the gas pain can be bad for some. A few days have passed now I hope you are in a lot less pain. How are things with you ? Are you ok ? X
  24. @Foreversunshine I’m glad you’re doing well. Well done on the weight loss so far. Hopefully you will continue to improve daily. It’s great that you’ve not got stomach pain , I’m praying it goes as well for me. I’ve read lots of things here and the stall in losses , apparently its very common ,, keep going I’m sure things will kick in again and you’ll be slim and healthy before you know it.
  25. Hi @ihartme early days for you yet then. My op date isn’t until the 20th March so I can’t help with regards to your cough/dry throat ,,, I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better though and hopefully you will improve daily x
