Hi there, yala come and visit in Abu Dhabi . I am in Lebanese Canadian married to a British. When were you sleeved????

Hi hun, you will do well. see you this weekend. kisses

I have sent you a private email to your inbox on this forum. talk soon

CMC is great. Didn't know some insurances cover it. How is the recovery going? Will be in Beirut in July, maybe if you are still there we can meet up for coffee. Are you a teacher? I am married to a Brit from Bristol. We met when I used to live in Canada but we live and work in Dubai now. Talk soon

You are welcome darling. You will rock your sleeve.

I read on another forum about people adding fat to their high protein diet to brake a stall. Just wondering if any one has tried that. I stalled at 3 weeks and again at 7 weeks. not sure what to do next.

Hey...........reading and thinking of you. we should meet up soon and talk. Maybe training will do. talk soon. xo

we are only two days apart. how do you feel now? how many pounds have you lost? things are getting better .....

Badek to send you some Labneh all the way to the States lol

Hi Janet, I met Dr. Al Safadi last summer but decided not to have the surgery in Lebanon as AUH was too expensive hospital for me. Hope you are enjoying my lovely Beirut. cheers

Hiya. Was sleeved on 26/2. Lost around 30 pounds but not sure if thats ok or too slow. How is everybody doing with weight loss?

Thank you all. x

I am 7 weeks post op and lost around 35 pounds. Slow loss but I dont seem to break my stall. How many pounds have you lost in 6 weeks? you look awsome

I had my surgery 7 weeks ago and was not doing well the first few weeks as most of us. I was full of regret, depressed and so negative. I think that was normal at 2 and 3 weeks out. I stalled at 3 weeks to top that up. At the beginning I was so happy, I met few people who had the surgery hoping they will support me and understand what I have been going through and not being judgemental but instead one of them was critical to my situation. I was so tearful and shocked when I heard that. At 2 weeks post op what did she expect? why she forgot how it was for her post op? I lost confidence in people around me. I thought friends are there to listen and feel each other’s pain. Any way, getting better these days. Training for 1 to 2 hours a day. Losing slowly but started weighing myself once a week only, ease the stress. Happy that I am eating healthy smaller portions. I want to stay the same person always and not to forget where I have come from. I want to always support newbies without being judgemental. Peace.

Welcome all, it is nice to meet new people in the Middle East as many people in this part like to keep the surgery secret. I am Canadian Lebanese lives in Dubai. Had surgery around end of Feb. Losing slowly.....it is really frustrating. Started training in the gym last week and feel really good and energetic about it. I can eat anything. Tried high protein diet but didnt work for me and really stalled me so now I eat some healthy carbs. My favourite is whole grain with some Labneh on it. What is your weight loss progress like???
