Hi, thought id join u all. Im due to be banded on 1st aug. im nearly thinking of putting it back cause it seems so soon. Im on hols the wk before and i have to do a 10 day low cal or liqiud diet (slimfast) before opp which meens doing it while im on hols. They told me its to reduce the size of the liver and if i dont they could cancel the opp. However the night before surgery i can go out have a meal and a few drinks before 11.59pm. Im from ireland and traveling to belgium to have it done. I keep thinking of the xmas sales and all the new skinny clothes i hope to be able to buy then. A bit of back ground - as above im from dublin, ireland. im not married but with bayfriend 11 yrs, i have 2 kids a 7yr old and 9 mth old. My daugher keeps asking if i have another baby in my belly!!!!!! BUt iv done weight watchers, which i do think works short term but if like me food is just too appeling to refuse it doest last that long. Ive also done diet pills, and diet sheets. I have made the mistake of telling a few people of what im doing and get the reply of how drastic it is, the closest to me are behind me, but i think why wait till im not able to get around to do it i want to feel good about my self im sick of feeling depressed and dreeding the thought of meeting new people cause they willbe thinking how fat i am, and i dont know anyone else who feels like that. anyway thats my story. hope we can help each other through this cause it is nerve wrecking. Best of luck to everyone. edel.:thumbup:
