  12. i dont know about anyone else but i have been big all my life, tried every fad diet going and nothing ever seemed to work, a few pounds would come off here and there, then would all go back on plus more. i started my journey for a gastric sleeve never thinking i would even be accepted, it never really sunk in until the day of surgery, i also used to think there is no way this surgeon can change the amount i eat as my appetite was horrendous, its only hit me these last few days when i realised my clothes are hanging off me and look silly!! well anyway had a weigh in today and have lost 91lbs since surgery which will be 4 months ago on july 31st, never in all my days thought i would everr loose so much weight, boost my confidence and live a healthier happoer life, if anyones in doubt about surgery my moto is go for it and dont look back, best decision ive ever made, only regret is not having it done yrs ago! xx
  13. i had mine on the nhs, from my first appointment to the day of my operation was 7 months, im 3 and half months out now and down 6 stone, bought myself size 18 jeans today, havent been in that size for yrs best decision ive ever made
  14. ukkateuk where are u having ur op? i had mine in bournemouth hospital, how r u doing on the pre op diet?? i really dont know how i managed it but the op meant that much to me i didnt cheat once!! im 3 and half months out now down 6 stone and so much happier and confident, would like to hear gow u get on ☺
  15. my surgeon told me that my gallbladder removal op had a higher death rate than a gastric sleeve, and if i compare the two recovery was much easier after the sleeve, go for the surgery its brilliant, my only regret is that i didnt do it yrs ago,
  16. best thing to do is dont bother commenting on my posts in the future
  17. dont exactly no wot ur laughing out loud at, people dont come on here to judge anyone of u hadnt already realised
  18. @@proudgrammy i had surgery 3 months ago and have lost 81lbs, using the vibro plate to tone my body, aparently they work so no harm in trying,
  19. has anyone been using the vibration power plates? just wondering how ppl have been getting on
  20. How much have u lost in that month? Im 3wks out only 17lb down, feel as if it should be more
  21. I have been told to weigh weekly rather than everyday,
  22. Im having the same problem, but after eating a few spoonfulls the pain starts then i have to completly empty my stomach for the pain to go, im seeing my surgeon today to see wot he says, i hope it goes cus otherwise ive made a huge mistake, mealtimes r dreadfull at the moment
  23. I lost 12 pounds in the first 2 wks and was over the moon with that. I want mine to come off slowly as im worried about saggy skin. A pound off is better than a pound on
  24. That is wot its like jamie, feels like somethings stuck, must be the tightness, when u was at that stage did u stil move on to the thicker foods? Tuesday is my 3rd week so should be having lumpy foods but dont no if i will get it down without hurting, should i stay on week two for a bit longer
  25. Alot of you have been eating pureed foods early, did any of you have discomfort eating these foods
