For those who are in the process of pre sleeve, a good place to shop for protien shakes is Holland and Barrett. They have a good range , also have whey protein isolate which gives 35 gms with skimmed milk. I have been to costco and the choice in the UK is limited, as compared to what i have read in these posts. Also good protein bars are available on amazon website . hope this helps.

I dont drink them.

Let friends use any word...gaunt, skinny, bony, under nourished...You continue on your path and let your doctor be the best judge.

Willow, I have paralysis of my leg from childhood. i am sure if I can anyone can. I will let you know how it goes. Just see to that the pool has a good trainer and a hoist in the beginning.

Hi all, How is it going for all? The weather is so bad and it does make walking difficult. I have decided to learn how to swim. I am so excited.I cant exercise much so I thought why not try swimming. any suggestions, feedback friends?

Thanks ducky

Hi lucky, I am doing well. Had my valentines day and my 5 th month anniv. I have lost some weight as well now officially overweight!! I am feeling good, I am not into exercising but my work is strenuous, walk when I can. In fact I have so much of energy that I feel I am going hypomanic!! trust me, if you tried everything and nothing worked, go for it! I did not do it because of people, to be honest never felt any issues there but it was health I was worried about. I am 38 and did not want to wait till i have DM Ht etc. My height is also not to my advantage and it really put me range of severe morbid obesity. I don't weigh myself daily, and concentrate on my Proteins and enjoy with my family once a week. I wish I had done it earlier. regards, fatgirl...hopefully slim soon.

Thanks

Thanks

Hello all, I am 5 months post op and from the UK. Welcome . I would be happy to help if i can. Best of luck.

Hi which tesco do you get it? I could not find it. I live in Nottingham. thanks

got sleeved on 15/9/2013. starting weight was 87.5 kgs. today's weight 67.5 kgs.

congratulations on your achievement.

Welcome back GG missed you.

Hi, Indians are majority Hindus by religion. Strict followers are vegetarians, and beef would be definite no no.

Just my 2 cents worth. A disordered habit, eating disorder, addiction call it whatsoever are all within a spectrum of long term psychological issues. My advice would be to seek professional help from a therapist or a psychiatrist in one to one setting in not in a forum. That would be the right kind of support.

any chance you get a dog so you all have to go out for a short walk and that can give you all some time outside?

I think its too early to count your proteins as I was advised for the fluids more than the protein the first couple of weeks. I was on a tight schedule of fluids and shake. Just see to that you manage a good urine output at this stage. Then you can concentrate on the prots. Protecting your kidneys should be the main thing. Dont worry.

I am about 4 months out now so here it goes Breakfast Wake up on time - 2 boiled egg whites Late- Protein shake Lunch- roasted chicken evening. 2 vegetarian sausages/ or shake dinner either egg if not had on the morning / scrambled with vegetables supper- 2 small pots of petit filous yoghurt for kids. Recently started feeling a bit of twinge of hunger so eat one babybel.

I got 8!

Thank you. I slowed down and it did work.

Dear sleevers, I thought of starting this new thread and please let me know if its already somewhere here on the forum. I got sleeved in Sept this year and though things have been fantastic the festival season is bringing its own challenges. Workplace is now filled with chocolates, cookies and mince pies. There are are at least 3-4 parties each of us has to attend till the 25 th and that adds more pressure. As most of us have struggled with saying no to food all our life i wondered if we could make this thread as a bank of information with techniques we can use to distract ourselves from food, deal with the stress, and keep on top of our sleeve. I would really appreciate any positive suggestions to be on the right track , especially from the veterans. Thanks.

My hunger is back for sure. I still feel full quickly but get hungry within 2 hours. I am 4 months post op. Can anyone answer if this is normal, if yes then what measures should I take?

The rule of thumb is in the first month you lose about 10% of your starting weight.

GG you look great and you look happy! your sons are so handsome!
