Sorting through all the clothes that are too big- putting them in boxes and taking them to the charity shop Also love trying on clothes that have been too small but fit/nearly fit or will soon fit- that's ace!!! Especially knowing that I won't ever ever be in those big fat clothes again!!!! #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Me too! I was sleeved on 4th October and its the tiredness that is definitely holding me back now. It must be lack of calories as well as carb withdrawals I think ....but hard to bear and very limiting. I have great ideas of what I plan to get done each day but when it comes round I'm just so so tired- I can't shake it. When will it stop? #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Hi there We're sleeve sisters- I had my surgery 4th Oct too. Like you I'm up and down- it's the exhaustion that I'm finding hard. Is that why you feel you need B12 shot? My surgeon has advised I take berocca vit drink daily as well as multi vit but nothing else.... #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

I was sleeved on 4th October so just 5 days or so before you. I'm now on soft mushy diet as from today and I can tell you it is different -just as OTR sleever said. So expect the restriction to change drastically! it does. Like you I found full liquids no problem but moving to soft mushy puréed food shows me that they defo removed my stomach and didn't just knock me out!! The next phase is getting your head round how little you can eat as mentally that can be a shock. #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

To answer my own original post I found myprotein.com great and usn whey ultra lean chocolate flavour is lovely #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Hiya I was sleeved on the 4th October- 2 wks tmz! I've lost 17.5lbs since pre op and 26.5lbs down from heaviest weight! Feeling good about that. Only problem is exhaustion- it's hard to get in enough Protein and struggling with low carb intake. Just want to fast forward this bit and get on to eating food again- liquid phase is pants. #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

What a difference 2 weeks makes! Starting to feel more like myself now. The only problem there is the temptation to progress post op diet too soon as you feel like you could handle more than just liquid. Weigh in this morning .... 4lbs since last week. That's a total of 17.5lbs since pre surgery and 26.5lbs from my heaviest weight! Amazing #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Beautiful. Well done x It's very motivational to see people further down the road. I can't wait to post my before and afters!! #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Well done!! I can wait to be in "onederland" too.... Hopefully will in the next couple of weeks xxx #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Hiccups are torture I know how you feel.... They hurt. I know this sounds nuts but go have a hot shower. I swear that helped me. Don't know if it was the steam or just managing to relax or could be coincidence but it helped me ... #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

One week post op! So pleased- I have lost 7lbs since surgery date (on the 4th) and 9lbs from the 10 day pre op diet so in total that's 16lbs in almost as many days!!! Crazy! Im also down 25lbs from my heaviest weight and feeling so pleased that I know I'll NEVER get that big again. Healing fine, I have 5 incisions and they all look good, managing to sleep on my side and pain is minimal. My only question is how long will we keep burping gas? It's very off putting that I have to burp after every sip I swallow and gurgle like crazy- surely this settles down? #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Hiya fellow Scot! They'll want a medical history from you and why you feel weight loss surgery is a good option for you, they'll go over your diet and weight loss past and why you ask you why you're there. What do you think this surgery will do for you etc They go over all the options and pros and cons for each..... Hope that helps #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Hey wolf! Don't beat yourself up! I was freaking out that I messed up on my pre op diet and i had a few less than well behaved moments on mine. I think most people do. It's so final and we know we are going to miss our old ways sometimes so it's tempting to "have just one last...." I was sleeved on 4th October and the first thing I asked my surgeon when I can round "was my liver small enough" to which he answered "yes, no problems at all" I had been so worried that my blips would mean my liver hadn't shrunk enough but thankfully being good for the vast majority of the diet I was ok. So what I'm trying to say is, dust yourself off, get back on the diet and look forward, be truthful to yourself as I'm sure you knew deep down you were setting yourself up for a "one last night with the boys" somewhere in your mind? Well you did it- enjoy it for what it was and get back on track. #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012

Haven't really managed food yet, since sleeve on 4th been drinking water, tea and diluted sf fruit squash. Tried soup yesterday but stomach objected. Struggling to think of what to eat? Trying protein shakes today. Any advice? #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012
