Hi all, I live in Doha, Qatar and was sleeved on December 11th. I have not had any complications but would love someone else to talk to. I am looking for a support group in the Middle East or online support group to join. The support here is minimal especially in English. Thanks, Cherie

Hi I am currently 4 1/2 weeks out and have been the same weight for the past 2 weeks. I need ideas on how to break my stall. I have started walking more and usually average 500-700 calories a day with 50-60 grams of Protein a day. I don't eat carbs other than what is in my food naturally but no bread, rice, Pasta, anything like that. I am trying to increase my Water intake but that is easier said than done. Am getting frustrated and scared that this is all I am going to lose. I am 17 kgs down since surgery which I am thankful. Would love ideas!! Thanks, Cherie

It definitely gets to you! I am feeling very discouraged. I did not measure myself before this journey and now wish I had to at least have that as encouragement. I have gone down a bra band size so I need to just have faith that something is working somewhere. I would usually turn to food when discouraged but can't so I am just trying to go to the gym and do other things that are not food related to keep my mind off of it.

Rock's kitchen on facebook also has lots of ideas! I also live alone and am finding food prep a bit of a pain because of the quantity that I can eat and I don't want leftovers that last forever!!!!

There are several facebook groups that post recipes post sleeve. Rock's Kitchen is one of them that I love! Also pinterest has lots of ideas!!

Hi Viqas, I had my surgery at Al Ali, where did you have your surgery? How long ago was the surgery. Mine was 2 weeks ago. Cherie

Hi I am currently living in Doha and was wondering if there is anyone else on the forum that is living in Doha? The support here is shocking so am always looking for other fellow sleevers! Cherie

Hi all, I was sleeved on December 11th so am 8 days post op. I live in Doha, Qatar and the support here in minimal but am trying to do my best! At this point, I am soo tired of clear liquids but just keep going! I am excited to find an online support group! Cherie

Hi Elode, Thank you! Cherie

Hi, I was sleeved on December 11th so am still on the clear liquid phase. I live in Doha, Qatar where the support is minimal for the surgery but am glad that I had the procedure done! There are no support groups here so I am looking for an online support group. Cherie

Hi I live in Doha and am looking for other people in the area that speak English and can be in an online support group! It is good to know of other people in the area. I was sleeved on December 11th. So am 8 days post op. So tired of clear liquids!!!!
