Bless you. I’m 2 days ahead of you and I understand how you’re feeling completely. This forum has been a godsend for me because says that the first couple of weeks is the hardest and it really does get better. I think we’re gonna do fine and we’ve just got to focus on the outcome rather than the rubbishy bits now ??

Thanks and fingers crossed you get your date soon ? Thank you ?

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond

Not too bad - still hurting and feel hugely swollen. Stomach bruising really bad - its basically a big purple mess. food wise - not hungry at all and taking maybe 3-4 teaspoons 3 times a day. A little stressed with the fragmin injections - but managing pretty well so far - thanks ??

I’ve been for three walks now so well on my way to the losers bench ?

Not yet - gonna try for that this afternoon. If I can do that - it’s another tick in the box for going home ?

Thank you to everyone for your best wishes - 36 hours later and I’m feeling a lot better. First 12 hours were pretty bad and was in quite a lot of pain - it’s definitely subsiding hour by hour and I’m hoping that I’ll be back at home within 24 hours x happy to answer any questions and I promise I’ll be ? honest x

So today is the day! A bit nervous, I’m not going to lie but really comfortable with my decision... wish me luck everyone!

I'm the 15th - so nearly

My weight loss has slowed down so only another 1 since I last posted - but I am still looking forward to the life I'm going to lead post surgery. So heart-warming to hear your good news. Thanks for your generosity in sharing.

thank you

I'm 7.5lbs down on my pre-op diet - hoping to get to a stone before my surgery this time next week. Excited, nervous, happy and dreading 4 weeks of pureed foods. Still believe I've made a good decision for my health though.
