Hi Wishfull, everybody's experience has really put my mind at ease,its a great support dont think i would have gone through with it if i had'nt found this site so thanks again guy's & dolls,it be great to meet up with Kaka and her daughter lol x:smile:

Hi shoes, it was after reading the forum that gave me the extra push i needed, id probably still be wishing and wanting if i hadnt found it, everyone on here is just great and always willing to offer help and advice x :party:

Hi Shoes, not long now. Are you all packed? I havent got weighed for 10 days now but when I last did after 5 weeks post banding, I had lost 1st 4lbs which I am satisfied with in that period of time. Not sure what I am at the moment, but presumably they will weigh me tomorrow at the appointment for the fill - hope I haven't gained any back cos will be really disappointed if so.

My broadband connection has been really playing up for the last week and a half and so haven't been able to post much so if I don't manage it again before Thursday, I will be thinking of you as we all will on Friday and sending you best wishes. Take care and have a good journey, let us know how you are as soon as you feel up to posting again, bigsister x

Hi Shoes - gosh it won't be long until Friday will it? Also good luck to you Kaka!

I am having my op the Friday after you so have just started my pre-op diet. The weekend was a bit shakey but back on track now. I am still eating lots though are you? Just nothing with much fat in or fat free!!

I am very excited but nervous!

The peeps on here have been my lifeline. I am not sure I would've been so decisive without this forum.

I have been gathering list of must haves - we leave this Friday for a trip to Bruges and Brussels beforehand so I am having to be organised! My husband has been working away for 2 months and is only back Wednesday! Plus I have to pack for myself and a 7 month old baby who refuses to eat anything apart from homecooked food or pureed fruits. I don't think I will be taking my cooker with me!

-Comfy/baggy clothes

-Calpol 6+

-Cuppa Soups

-Jelly?

-The dressings from Lloyds pharmacy - Gillian did u get these I can't remember the name?

- A good book the sounds of things for the wait! (But I will probably be first in the queue the size of me!! :hurray:)

Can anyone recommend anything else?

Thanks in advance x

OMG...chips and choc...i will never stop thinking of that!!..but you can still have a little bit of it after..i have my bit of choc on a friday night now..instead of every night and infact all day every day and night!..the band does nothing to stop your head choc and chip hunger unfortunatly!...but saying that..one of the things that is very uncomfortable to eat is...chips, i tried 2 of my husbands from the chippy in week 2 after op..and i was in pain..so im put off now, although it is getting easier now, i really need these fills i have booked, as apart from bread and potato things..i can eat anything now, and quite a bit of it too!..not put any weight back on though which is main thing. but hope it will get moving again in the right direction soon!..youll be so excited and nervous now, only few days!!.and this time next week youll be on here telling us all about your op..hope it all goes fantastic, i was dubious before i went,i must admit. but wouldnt think twice about having it done now,Chris,the hosp and staff are A1!..gillian x
