Hiya!! I'm a bit worried about these Protein drinks you're all getting....I'm in the UK (or at least I will be when I get out of hospital) and not seen anything like this. Someone mentioned slimfast....would that be ok..or Cambridge diet?? Amanda xx

Hiya.....I've been banded!!!!! It all went well but I'm very tired. been on water a fruit tea today...mmmm lol No real pain...just a bit of uncomfort. But I have got neck ache...it seems to be getting worse as the day goes on! Only 2 more days here and I can go home....hooray!! Amanda xx

HIYA!!!!! I'm at the clinic...had pro op tests..everythings fine. They've told me I'll get taken down for the banding about 5......an hour and 20 mins to go!! It's really happening!!! Amanda x

well it looks like I'm on the next list!!! Just 12 short hours and I'll be setting off for the airport!!! Told a friend tonight....thought she try to put me off but she didn't luckily...was a relief to talk to her to be honest! And as she's a nurse she's going to check on my wound, dress them and keep her eye on me when I get back. She's a good friend. Nearly 11pm here so I'm going to try and get some sleep Amanda xx

A friend had hers done at the same place last week....no sedation just a throat numbing spray...she hated every minute of it

Ok thanks... :biggrin2:

Hiya!! I'm 3 days pre op and beginning to get nervous!! Not the op itself or how I'll feel after, its the camera down the throat thing! Dreading it... worried my throat will close up and they won't be able to get it in, worried I'll be sick worried I'll choke and die! Can anyone put my mind at rest please....I'm shaking already!! Amanda xx

Thanks Carrie..... as of friday I'm going to eat just soft food then saturday Cambridge diet packs....sunday water! 5 days to go........:smile2:

Hiya!! No shopping that I know of....but apparently you can go and sit by the river....(not quite the same as shopping eh? lol) But at least sitting by the river reading a book I won't be spending anymore money!! lol Looking forward to it but dreading it a little too. I've been told to not eat heavy food for 48hrs and no food 24hours before....you all seem to be on liquids for 2 weeks...why is that??? Amanda

Can you add me to this please... June 16th Thanks Amanda :smile2:
