Hi good luck with fluid diet I had my bypass 3 years ago and after a failed band. You will do great just follow your surgeons advice and you dietician. I lost 12 stone in all have 10 off currently recently diagnosis with thyroid problem. But don’t regret having the surgery

We were out at mums so no left overs either I am 14 weeks out bypass tried small amount Christmas pud after turkey and veg wrong move too heavy and felt too full, lesson learnt at least I could not eat any thing else X

Hope everyone had a great Christmas how did everyone cope? Did you still manage to lose weight and stay on track X

Any of you guys tracking your food on my fitness pal

Yes eating slow is hard my dietician wants Me to stop shakes but I don't think I can make the 60 without my one shake made with total Greek yogurt each day. Other than that he really happy with my progress. The next 4 weeks are going to be a challenge. Festive meals and treats every where only safe place is our house. So glad I have the bypass as this will keep sugary treats at arms length : ) keep in touch guys

Hi I am in Scotland, NHS revision band to bypass done 16th September 2015. I use Phd diet whey as its so low in Carbs. 39lb in 12 weeks will keep a look out for other uk people x

I agree starting to slow down before is a great idea and I always cut up my protien into small bits. If I am over hungry I tend up eat too fast and end up stuck x luckily as I chew well and the hits are small the uncomfortableness only lasts 10 mim only had 4 stuck episodes.

I too have lost 58lb post band in 14 weeks, I lost 60lb on pre op diet weight loss slowed down slightly in the last 3 weeks. Just follow your plan and exercise.

Banded 14th march 2012 lost 51lb and 111lb in total with pre op diet

I still take vitamins and my dietician asks me every visit. I don't plan to stop x

I try to focus on real hunger not head hunger 60 plus protien but don't think am extra 100 Cals is ant thing to worry about and 20lb in a month is great x

Lost 2lb this week finishing at 258 well done everyone x

I got a large band I beleive it's based on how large your stomach is I have a 14cc band. So I assume the larger you are the bigger the band.

I Have also lost in the first 7 weeks post op 32lb however it's been purly by following my dietitians guidelines I have been very hungry but know if I hang in there restriction will come, had my fist fill not sure if I have restriction yet ad back on liquids but hope to have a litle but only time will tell moving on to mushies today.

Not mime 4 weeks full liquid before mushies for 2 weeks then soft for 2 weeks then normal. 1 week away from normal food and having fill tomorrow so back to liquid for a few days x
