Hi again, just thought I would mention that as well as a long interview with the psychologist I also had to do a Rorschach test, the ink blot thing (try this Online Rorschach Test). I was desperately trying to not say I could see blood or death in each one as we went through them. The more I tried to not do it the more I wanted to. I worry about my sense of humour sometimes, it was like not mentioning the war when with Germans!! Jane x

And the best thing about the psych eval is that you can tell people that you've had one and you were found to be sane! Not many people can boast that :thumbup1: Jane x

Hi Carrie, sorry you are feeling low. I think they incinerate stomach bits BTW so don't stress the rotting thing. Concentrate on the fact that you still have the good bit of your stomach there and you will be able to eat soon, it will get better but you will not be able to really pig out any more. Also at the moment you still have residual general anaesthetic drugs in your system which will make you depressed and weepy, so just roll with the punches and don't expect too much of yourself. Focus on the substantial health benefits you will get over the next few months for this transitory bit of misery now. I wish I could give you a big hug too. Jane x

Thanks Karen, sounds like good advice to me. Jane x

Good luck and get back to us as soon as you can. Jane x

LOL I so agree. Maybe if the powder could be used to make a spicy thai style fish or chicken soup it might be better but the relentless synthetic sweet flavours just made my toes curl. Jane x

Tiff your mum is wrong, you look lovely. I was lucky like Globie with my mother but sadly she is no longer with us. I can only speak as a mother myself now and I would never action jealousy of my kids although to my shame sometimes I understand the feelings. Not very often I hasten to add but it is a normal thing for an older woman to feel some resentment of younger women, especially when the older woman feels fat and frumpy and the younger one is doing an ugly duckling into a swan deal! So the moral of this rambling prose is understand them but don't let it get to you. Jane x

Hi Dave, welcome and look forward to hearing how you get on. Jane x

Maddie, good luck and I hope you feel better soon. I took my PPI for a year, so don't feel you have to stop at 3 months BTW. Some people stay on them forever. Sounds like your surgeon is determined to get you fixed which is a good thing. Jane x

Bella, that is fantastic, and you should be really proud of yourself. Are you feeling better with walking and general mobility? I rememer when I suddenly found it did not hurt so much to walk any distance, so liberating! So well done you and we will need pics when you are ready :scared0: Jane x

Good luck tomorrow Geek. Jane x

PM me with your email address and I'll send you a collection of post VSG diets which covers absolutely everything. Jane x

Hi Hailey, we are the same height and I was a similar weight to you at the beginning. VSG has solved all my weight problems and I can sincerely recommend it to you. Good luck with it all. Jane x

Good luck April, there are lots more people with your sort of BMI going for the VSG and i reckon it's a very good idea. Jane x

I think you should consider being out and proud about it. But I would wait until you were happy and confident about the final outcome as you don't want to give yourself any additional stress in the first month or two. Jane x

Yes that tickled me too. Jane x

Stephany, it defo will be a good night and parties will stretch on and on into the future!! Good luck and we'll see you on the Losers Bench later. Jane x

Lets put it to a vote, I am an Aye!! Jane x

Solid protein food is the answer. I also like apples as they do a good fill job and they are good for you, but you may be a bit early for that. Having a good egg breakfast will stave off hunger till lunch time too I found. Hang on in there. Jane x

Hi Carrie, I did not have revision, just a vanilla VSG, but the surgery pain after was not that bad. And I have had labour with twins ending in epidural and forceps delivery. My reasons for doing the surgery were mainly to try to ensure I lived long enough to see grandchildren and be able to be an active grandma. The way I was going I would have died young and probably required a mobility scooter beforehand, the horror. The good thing about VSG is you get it done, follow a few simple rules and voila, you get to live a normal life!! Jane x

Hope you feel better soon. Jane x

LOL!! Nice one.

LOL, don't diss the ganny pants!! At least they keep you warm! when I was young and thin I used to wear the old lady long legged knickers in winciette just for the warmth, it was always a shock to my boyfriends:scared0: I put on my weight in the classic apple way and women are supposed to have waists so I can defo relate to you. Even now I have a pair of work trousers that fit snuggly on the waist but flap like jodpers on my hips and thighs. So still not a normal shape here. And as for small boobies, I dream of them, mine are still there but about 4 inches lower than they should be :mad: small ones are pert and lovely in my book :thumbup: Jane x
