Hi

My date is 4th October, just wondering if there are any other people from UK about to or recently been sleeved? it'd be good to hear from you x

diet pretty difficult! Struggling a bit and pretty scared its only 2 days away now! I'd like to lose about 100 lbs in weight in total. My BMI was 41 I've lost 14lbs since I started all this.

I'm 36, married with 2 kids age 11 & 9.

Hi Janet- Well done on pre op! That's ace!

Morning Ladies,

Day two of pre-diet, it has to be better than day one! - feel more organised today for some reason.

Well done to you both, you've nearly made it, its all good. I would imagine the scare factor goes up as the day gets closer, a day nearer your dream to be fit and healthy.

I have read in a few places that the - pre-diet is worse than the surgery? LOL

Have a lovely day.

Hi Carly,

Welcome.

I'm Mary, 43yrs old, live in Maidenhead, Berkshire. I'm married with no children, unless you count twigs and georgie our cats LOL

I've already started my pre-op diet, its pretty tough but think I'm winning the battle now - I have my operation on the 20th, can't wait.

I want to start getting rid of my lard and have a normal life, when I don't have worry about buying clothes, sitting in chairs (and getting stuck) and finally getting in an aeorplane seat! LOL

Have you got much to lose Carly?

Take care

Mary

Hi Mary

Are you on the milk diet? I'm dreading it lol

I have about 8 stone to lose and am so looking forward go buying things I actually want to wear n not just making do also to be able to walk up the stairs without having some kind of cardiac arrest would be nice lol xx

I wish I was on the milk diet I think I could cope better with it?! I could live on lf yogurt and sf milk jelly LOL

They've put me on an 800 cal diet, which I'm finding hard. I wonder why different surgeons have different diets?!

I have 200lbs to lose, going to be hard feel I'm up for the challenge with help from a good surgeon!

I completely get the stairs, more than 2 flights and i'm buggered LOL Oh yes, sexy clothes at looonnnnggg last LOL

Can't wait to wear a pair of jeans! Lol I live in leggings and to be able to get some nice bras and underwear instead of bloody over the shoulder boulder holders n mahoosive knickers that I could use as a tent for the whole family lol xx

thinking about all of those who are having their op tomorrow, looking forward to hearing how you get on, best wishes and prayers for u all. xx

lol, thanks for the giggle, i know just what u mean with the under wear, I am wearing jeans but in a size 28 with big baggy tops, look forward to wearing the size 16 designer jeans that i bought recently, in about a year or less, i hope,

Yikes! It's tomorrow!

Oh my goodness- it's just one sleep now- not sure there will be much sleeping going on tonight though!

I hope it all goes ok- I'm petrified of complications. Just want to ffwd next few days- maybe even few weeks!!!

I can do this!

Hi there!

I had my VSG surgery done on the 26th September so I'm currently 1 week and one day post op.

Good luck and don't be nervous. Think of your surgery day as the first day of your new life. I'm on the 2 weeks post op liquid diet at the moment and have lost a stone in just over 2 weeks (liver shrinkage diet + 1 week of liquids)!

Best of luck xx

Hi Lucy

How are you feeling ? I start my milk diet on the 17th how did u find it? How long did u stay in hospital for? Xx

I got through it!

I'm on the other side now having been sleeved yesterday! So far so good. Feel a lot of restriction when swallowing Water but hope that will ease over next few days.

Life is good
