Hi likasulema Thanks for ur support And I am still can't eat solid food except porridge I am trying everyday one new food but my stomach can't hold it and I vomit probably my stomach still inflamed as I am diabetic the healing might take longer, even my diabetes is absolutely better than before. As well from my little experience having 3 shakes wich make 60 g protein with little two to three meal per day will help lose more weight. The most thing I am really happy with is my sugar craving disappear completely. Good luck for everybody.

Thanks Julie. How did u go with ur sleeve? I hope all going well for u. I think we deserve it after a big journey of too much weight we were carry. Good luck

I sleeved on 15th of may. Lost 5 kg per op and 13 post op total 18 kg. half the way of my gall. Couldn't eat much still mainly on shakes and purée food. But my overall health is well. Just like to share with everyone my trip. I am so proud of myself. Yay

Had the surgery on Tuesday. The dr found as well a massive huge hernia as he described it. It is been fixed as well. The surgery took longer time coz of the hernia, as well as it took me as they said 5 hours to back from the anaesthesia. Other than that everything is going ok. I am on the liquid diet, I am feeling full with the 30 ml per hour. The surgin thinks I am doing great and the diatition said I am doing well. I will start the shake in Friday. The physiotherapist took me for a long walk all going great. I think everything is fine. Please don't stop praying for me

Thanks for everyone posted to support me. I am using now the nicotine patches and the e cig as well when I am feel need the hand mouth craving. The doctor recommended as well valium twice a day to calm me down as I had to stop my antidepressant coz some side effects, which make hard to quite, as well as he gave me sleeping tablets as I used to wake up at night to smoke. It seems that this combinations working out. I can't say that it is easy I am struggling, but the doctor said within 2 weeks I will not need the Valium or the sleeping tablets and the carving will get better. I am doing all I can do. I added as well drinking lots if water and chammomile, I keeping myself busy and I go for a walk and joined a quit smoking support group. I hope I can do it not only for the op but I aim that will be for ever. Plz keep praying for me. Thanks again Amany

Hi tyvette04, Good luck for ur surgery, I know how u feeling mine is due on 15th of May. By time I start get nervous as well especially when u have to follow all the advices u have been given about the food, ur medication, stopping alcohol and cig. Very Hard to cope, plus preparing itself and ur family needs as well. But I found that u can make thing easier by having a check list of everything u need and try to follow and cross out what u did and plan for the rest. As well I tried to drink cammomile and using the lavender oil plus some relaxation technics. They all plus many other things u can use to keep u positive. Also keep praying that keep u positive as well. When u feel really down just keep thinking about the new figure u well have and the new you u well b, just imagine ur new life and how happy and positive it will b when u not struggling again to find a dress for a party can fit u. I wish u best of luck and remember we all here for u, supportive and will keep praying for u Keep us updated with ur progress

Good luck my surgery is 15 th of may. I was really lucky didn't go through any problem or waiting to be scheduled for the surgery as my BMI is 42 plus couple of health problems diabetics lower back pain, cholesterol, heel spur and great risk of cardio vascular disease so the surgeon agree to proceed straight away and said I am an excellent candidate to it. But whether or not we reach to the surgery easy or took long time it is really worth to fight for it. It is long journey with our big bodies who was stoping us of lots of life enjoyment. Best of luck for u lady God bless ur new journey

Good luck. Best decision we all sure about it. We will pray for u that the lord hold ur hand all over the journey.

Thank u gramaof4. Ur words was a great relief for me I will start now and I am sure God will give me the strength with ur praying. God bless u and reward u for ur kind heart

Thanks gramad04. I really have strong will to quiet as I am diabetic and my dad died heart clot was 56 y.o( he never smoked or drink) but diabetic as well with strong family history of cardiovascular disease. Me as well has High cholesterol. I have a 6 years old daughter which I want to live longer to see her brawn up. I will think about the hypnosis, but I think I might need more stronger power so God is only one who can do this and give me the strength, so plz mention me in ur praying and I will start pray as well and I am sure God will hear us for the sack my little daughter. Thank u for ur support

Welcome, I hope all going well with u
