    hey everyone. so i am now 6 days post op and i am doing ok. struggling to get the recommended intake but am getting there. the soya milk i was using no longer tastes great so i have had to look for another one. contacted my GP today who was not very helpful as i was having a problem with some of the meds i am taking. i have not weighed myself yet this week. i will do it once a week on a friday.

    Hi Denise 

    I'm having my band fitted tomorrow, it's been a long journey but finally the day has arrived.  I was interested to hear that you were in hospital for a couple of days as I've been asked to be at the hospital 7.30 am and told that as it is a morning procedure I will be going home later that day, it's just over an hour travelling and thankfully my husband will be driving.  Were you sick immediately after the op ?  Feeling a little nervous about tomorrow but looking forward to it,

    so now 4 weeks post op and its going ok. i do find myself getting hungery at times but that my be down to my managment of my fluid intake. i am trying to drink more. i am now on soft diet so am over cooking everything...(reminds me of growing up at home where everything was overcooked lol) the scales have slowed down but my body shape is changing. 2 more weeks before i can exercise so i hope once i get more active that will change things. i dont really do xmas so that wasnt too bad for me. roll on 2016 and all its challanges.
