Hello folks,

Are any of you got operations coming up in the UK? As much as I value the US guys it would be good to get a sense of how other people are getting on here.

I'm having my bypass on 12th July, so the countdown really does feel like it's begun.

Cheers,

J

Hope you find some U.K. friends to help you out. Our surgeries are within a week of eachother, if you want I can butcher a British accent if we talk haha.

Thanks mate!

I'm in the U.K. Surgery on 11th July
Start my pre op diet tomorrow. Don't have to do 14 days,only 10 as BMI is 32
I'm nervous and hope I can stick to the pre op diet.

The day before me Geets, good luck. I'm finding the diet is fine, it makes you quite mindful about what you eat and I think that's a skill that will come in handy.

I'm in the UK (london). No pre op diet required I don't know why my bmi is 51. Op is in 4 days

I think the pre op diet is sensible as it puts us in mind mentally for the next stage of our journey. From the beginning when we decide to have gastric surgery,through to surgeon,dietician,nurse,consults every stage is part of our journey to prepare us for our new life. But hey after you have the surgery you're going to be in the new mode and will make adjustments as that is the only way to be. We all have different journeys but the outcome is the same. Good Luck for your op

Good luck Shellshook!

Only the 1st day of pre op diet and I'm so nervous about the future oh my goodness wasn't prepared for this. It's a tricky road ahead.

Hey geets,

You'd be daft if you weren't nervous, it's the big unknown ahead of us. I've been doing the Pre-op for a week and, whilst I'm not on liquids this might be easier, I'm using it as a kind of food mindfulness training. I think that, knowing surgery is coming up, I'm more focussed on it... and otherwise I'm just trying to keep myself busy.

Let us know how you're going.

Best,

Jx
