Hi Claire - I think you have already gathered I am going in hospital today for surgery tomorrow - so this is the only reply I can make until I come out.
Are you on any waiting list for a gastric bypass? I have done well really. My doc put my forward for it last July - I got an appointment to see my surgeon and was put on the waiting list in october - so am actually getting mine done (RNY) after being on the waiting list for 5 months - which is good.
I am currently doing the pre-op diet and have struggled in my second week of this. The first couple of days was hard due to the withdrawal of sugar etc... and I had bad headaches, but by weds that was more or less over with.
If I can give you any advice at all - it would be:-
1. make sure you have jellys etc made up and ready to go - its when stuff was not there for me that I had my little blunders.
2. Join a support group in the UK as well as this one. I live in East Yorkshire so I was able to join the Hull support group online. I have even met up with these lovely people on a couple of occasions and I can tell you the advice was invaluable. So was the support when I blundered. My support group have members from all over - this is there link
