Thanks ladies. I fel so numb and like I will have failed at the diet as I won't have achieved my goals. Silly I know but it is how I feel. I will email exante and see what they recommend with anaesthetics. I just worry that with 8 weeks to the hols I will go food crazy and put on all the weight I have lost!! I keep reading about it online which is even more scary! Damn you internet....altho without it I wouldn't have such great friends in you guys xxx

Gaga, my heart truely goes out to you.
Its such difficult circumstances
I think it may be better for your long term health, to forget about Exante, just for the foreseealbe future... whilst you have your op, and then your recovery time.
Personnally, I dont think its worth it to be TS, WS or even SS during this time.
Your body will need recovery time, and calories to help its self heal faster.
I think, trying to still diet during this time will slow your recovery.
Is it possible to postpone your holiday, for a few months, just so you know you are completely well ect ?
Exante will always be here, when you are
back to 100% health.
Sorry I dont have any better advice Gaga... but big hugs xxx

Thanks Margie- I truly feared this may be the case and best advice. Holiday is booked so we would be away for hubbie's 40th birthday so am really loathed to change dates. If I have too have my lymph nodes removed following this surgery then I won't be able to go but if all is OK then Doc thinks I should have healed in time. Will just mean no sun.
Just gutted to still be soooooo fat! Especially now I have bought all these lovely clothes to wear whih just won't fit. Total waste of money.
Also hate the thought of being in hospital at my size as will no doubt have to be weighed and checked over which does scare me rigid. Need to lose as much as possible pre-op now!!!!!
Really appreciate all the advice. Now time to weigh it all up and decide what to do for best. Have had no carbs since Jan 31st and only foods consumed have been proteins, salad, cheese and of course nutella!!!!
Someone must have some cheery news out there........please?????

and I finally lost 3 stone!! Honestly though hun you have done the best you can on this diet if your body needs you to take a break you need to
And if all is well the holiday may be the relaxation you need and if it's not so great you can rearrange and have time to recover etc before and even diet if you want x

I think there is too much sugar in Nutella, to consider it a protein, and not a carb
I know what you mean about postponing your holiday. I was gutted last year when mine was cancelled because of the weather.... but this is completely different for you.
Check with your travel company, and insurance ... just to see what options they give you.
I am asolutley sure you will fit into your lovely new clothes.... but it may be a little delayed.
You are now taking a scenic route Gaga.

And a gym- wowser marge- you are such an inspiration. I am loving swimming again but nurse told me that'll be off cards for a few weeks post op so best get as many swims in now whilst I can!

You are completely right and I am just ranting. Wonder if i could follow a re-feeding plan post op? Would that be enough calories/ nutrients?

Marge
I am not sure how many calories you would need..... you might need to go to a BMR site, to work it out for you...
And aim to STS calorie wise, for healing purposes ??

Here's a wee BMR calculator thingy...
Just put in your details, then calculate...
Then you have to go onto the "daily calorie needs" to work out your BMR...
You will probably have to work it out on doing no exercise/sedentary, as you will have to rest post op
