Have my second follower, thanks so much for your comment Linda, makes me feel i'm not alone!
I start my 5 day pre-op diet today, I get to have 4 shakes, 2 soups and 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, there is no mention of milk, i'm a tea addict and there is no way I can cut it out completely so will try and limit myself to 2 cups per day, luckily my lovely sister sent me a Emma Bridgewater pint mug for my birthday last week!
I went out for my "last supper" last night, I was with my friend Sarah who knows about my plans. She struggles with her weight and is very supportive but doesn't feel that she could have a band, her husband, who is also a friend, doesn't know about it, she feels that he wouldn't approve. I don't really care one way or another but he seems to have twigged that there was a reason for us going out last night and is convinced that my marriage is breaking up!
Linda..i do not think it will be your last supper..... The restriction will take ( normally takes ) some time to come into play...
ReplyDeleteLast night I was out and had an indian with friends...Tandori lamb chops , Naan, Dhaal...the lot...However , I was only able to eat about half of what I normally would have.. and Im banded 6 weeks nearly.....You will still be able to eat a little of what you like after the op and swelling goes down ;-)..and this is good..
Thanks Andrew, it just seems like a long time away.
