Was on the waiting list for a full by-pass. Now recovering.

Lovely to see you @maureen5752. I will pop into type2 life thread too. I'm sure the members have missed you too.
I hope you are well?
Hi glad things are working out for you. I went off the rail a bit, things been going on & often couldn't eat properly. I've had health problems & another baby coming in couple months. Second grandchild. I feel they don't care, no info no advise & trying to get an appiontment is like travelling to the moon. Snywsy good luck hope things go well for you x
 
Good luck for the 12th xx
 
@ikihun hi my daughter has just had a similar op and I can only say how much I admire the determination and strength you both have to positively change your lives I wish you luck and everything you hope for tizzy
 
@ickihun - sending you much love and support for your op - it's the start of a wonderful new life for you and much deserved. Will be thinking about you on the 12th xx
 
Thank you, everyone!
Bland liver shrinking diet is getting boring now. Just til Wednesday evening though. Then liquid diet after op til I've healed more. But with little hunger rather than my low carb hungers which caused higher calorie intake for my often immobile body.
Cheese and nuts are great liver dumping cavaliers but very heavy on calories. I ended up eating more and more which stopped any weight loss. I couldn't win. Reduced my insulin by half too.
Liver shrinking diet not as good as that. Reduced insulin but fbg 16s.

Im sure they will call my specialist who is very supportive.
I'm working on keeping active and LSDiet rules, obeyed.
 
All set to go, then, @ickihun?
Hope you can relax today, and all goes well. You have been in eager anticipation of this for so long.
Best wishes for the op, smooth recovery, and the outcomes you have been longing for.
 
All the best for tomorrow @ickihun, I hope your recovery is swift and you get all you wish for xx
 
Will be rooting for you @ickihun
Hope it all goes well and we soon see you back on the forum with reduced insulin needs.
Have a hug!
 
Hugs and love, @ickihun. Admire your dedication. Hope all goes well tomorrow and the operation will get you everything you hope for.
 
Good luck tomorrow @ickihun . You know I'm not a fan of weight loss surgery, but I genuinely hope it works out really well for you.
 
Good wishes, and lots of good vibes from me for tomorrow and the days ahead for you xxx

Thanks @Pipp. I'm ready.
I've kept off the weight I needed to qualify. Shame my bgs haven't improved though. Roll on Thursday as my operation morning.
 
Cannot sleep nor muster the lack of excitement with trepidation. Eeek!!!
 
I haven’t been paying much attention to this thread as I’ve never had anything much constructive to add, but good luck with the op @ickihun.

Best wishes.
