Hey miss smiles, hang in there! You will feel better in a day or so! I’m getting the liquids down so far - 40 oz of Water today plus my Vitamins. I mixed my Protein Shake with water and coffee this am to get 20 oz. took me 2 hours to drink it! My guts sound like thunder, but the gas is certainly finding it’s way out 😜. Honestly, keep trucking on, every 6 hours or so from where you are I felt better! Xxx

HI everyone,
Just wondering how you are all getting on with the pre-op diet. It's the morning of day 6 for me, I've been surprised how well I am feeling! It's a really interesting insight for me about the times I 'want' or 'expect' to eat - when over this weekend I have been tempted (but resisted!). I use the kids as an excuse - and buy them things that are a big temptation - I think I pretend I am buying things for the children because I want them myself - I am going to be very careful I don't become a 'feeder'. My kids are all skinny and healthy but I want to keep them in healthy habits!
ALso the afternoons at the weekends - every time I walked through the kitchen my brain told me to eat. Standing by the toaster, near the fridge, near the larder - my brain is screaming to me to get in there and snack!
SO, I've lost 8 lbs in 5 days of the pre op diet so far. No problems with Constipation. Yesterday I cleared my wardrobe - got rid of the things in my current size that I won't wear in the next couple of months, put all the size down (and 2 sizes down) clothes in big bags under the bed to pull out when I need them, and tidied up. Feels great.
HOpe you guys are all doing well too
I am pretty darn excited! 10 days till my op!

Hey Miss Smiles, yes, i’d Like a recovery buddy! It’s 2am here in the uk and I can’T sleep.
Can’t believe I am on the other side - the start of a whole new life for me.
and also .... I feel like I don’t have a clue what I am doing! How will I drink 60 oz of Water when it takes me 2 hours to drink a glass full! 😜
Hope your recovery continues to go well!

Hey guys, well I’m on the losers bench! RnY at 10.30am today, was up and about at 2pm.
Not gonna lie, the gas pain is uncomfortable but just about tolerable. Hard to get liquids down as I am nervous of my new digestive system!

Good luck to all you guys!

Oooh you lucky thing Kimbero! Here they inflate both your abdomen and your digestive system for the surgery and it feels nasty! Glad yours went well!

Wow, 2 days to go here toll mu bypass. I am mighty hungry though. Stuck totally to the milk diet though, looking forward to not feeling hungry afterwards!

That's right, I'm in Cornwall. In Cornish, Karenza means love

The time is dragging- I am trying to keep busy. Weight is going down steadily on this milk diet though! If I could keep it up for 6 months maybe I wouldn’t need the surgery!😉

THe coffee sounds yummmmmmmy! I'm only allowed 3-4 pints of semi-skimmed milk, one cup of clear broth, and a sugar free jelly (which I don't like!). Looking forward to making my coffee with a vanilla Protein Shake after the surgery though. I've found a really yummy sugar free Syrup that I put a tiny bit into my milk and coffee and it really is delicious.
Hard again today, but I am only 9 days away from my surgery now. I'm drinking my stock, then off out to mow the lawn for some exercise.
Hope you've all had a good day!

Yep, it isn't easy! This evening has been the hardest so far. I've been really hungry!

Hay PCOSSUCKS, I'm sure a little popcorn as a one-off will not affect your surgery - the thing is I guess to make sure that is all it is and that there's no more slip-ups!
I find it really motivating to watch Youtubers who have lost all the weight they wanted to and how amazing they lok and feel. I also have a list of things to do instead of eating as my go-to when the cravings strike. My house has never been cleaner!
HOpe you are able to take some 'me time' today. Be kind to yourself - this ain't easy!

Hi everyone,
I'm having gastric bypass on 30th May - my 43rd birthday! I'm hugely excited and terrified in almost equal measure.
Been on the milk only diet - just finished day three. Think I am about 5 lbs down so far.
