Ha I'm with you on that one Kate., but I still can't drink fizzy so I have a glass of wine and it lasts all night or the dreaded J20. God I'm a cheap date now

Hope you are feeling ok, it's a great thing you have done and you will feel great just a few weeks down the line

Hi meet I'm in Wales and was sleeved July 2015 in Carmarthen. Best thing I ever did in my life. What date is your op

Well here we are the fabulous threesome. How many stones have we lost between us! Must be in the 20 s . Watch out for that Halloween rubbish. I had a Haribo thing last night to shut up my friends grandchild and I lost a filling! Still running in the mornings god it was dark on Friday so I'm glad the clocks have changed. We must all meet up !

Hi Kate long time no hear? I find if I plan my day food wise it's best for me

That's great husband and wife going along on the journey together. I expect there is some friendly rivalry there! Good luck to both couples and well done so far

I'm in UK and I was offered coffee 2 days after op whilst still in the hospital. I did not drink more than one cup a day when I came home, and I drink maybe 4 cups a day now, no sugar or cream for me just a dash of milk. It's right that your tastes change. I used to really enjoy a glass of wine but now I'm totally not bothered, much to my partners pleasure as I m always designated driver now!

I think that I will always be seeing the big person in the mirror. However when I look at the size of the clothes I am wearing it does hit home that I have lost a significant amount of weight. Well done on your weight loss

I think if you are happy to pay you will find that in UK you will find a clinic that will do your sleeve I had my op with BMI at Werndale hospital Carmarthen paid privately

Hi lulu hope you are not feeling so tired now. Chin up at least the op is behind you now All the best from pembrokeshire

I quite like the USN protein bars

Well done and doesn't it feel great slipping into the smaller sizes!

I echo lipstick lady ! I wish I could have had the sleeve years ago. Absolutely the best thing I have ever done. Cindy Warson how fantastic that you and your husband are having the sleeve together. Good luck to us all onward and downwards folks

Good for you! I feel like doing that this morning. I weigh every day ( yes I know) and I've just been on the scales this morning and after a week of family staying and getting off track well there is a gain. Sure it will be gone by the middle of next week but it just sets my mood for the day which is not happy. Think ill join you in disposing of the flipping things! Good luck to us both

Hey Jamie logical Good luck with your forthcoming marathon I'm still running all thanks to you

Well done! I feel just the same

What a great start to my morning just love the cat on the scales saying liar! I'm in a great mood after a right good laugh as we say here in Pembrokeshire . Thanks to all who contributed !

So many things are better since I had my operation. So wish I could have done this years ago. I can run, walk for hours and it's so wonderful to walk into any clothes shop and know that they stock my size and not have snooty sales persons looking at me as if to say no way to sell anything that's going to fit you. Those days are far behind me, I feel confident happy and at peace with my body at last.

Yes it was the best thing I ever did for myself

Well done !

Good luck for Tuesday you will do really well. Keep walking and sipping girl !

Well it's a whole year since I got in the jeep with my heart down to my boots to go to the hospital for surgery. Oh I was so afraid, I wanted to turn back and not go through with it. Entering the hospital I just let it all go and I thought well you are here now best let them get on with it. I remember walking down the corridor and saying goodbye to my other half, then climbing onto the trolley and that was it. I woke up in the recovery ward all done and that was the start of my new life. I was so lucky I had no pain or sickness and all went well. Coming home was fantastic, I had only been away for 2 nights, but it felt like years. I've lost 99 pounds and have gone from UK dress size 22 down to a 10 or 12 depending on the shop or the cut of the garment. I am active ( thanks to Jamie logical who inspired me to start running) and most of all I am happy. I feel completely different to how I felt before my op I am optimistic now whereas before I was irritable and miserable and not always nice to be around. I am so grateful for my sleeve and thankful I was able to pay for my op as here in UK it's not often done on NHS. I still have not met another person in real life who has had this op ! I have made friends through the forum ( hi Soodoo) and I have really enjoyed posts from so many people. It's like the oscars here in my house right now where the persons starts crying and then thanks everyone from A to Z! Well to everyone who has ever read my posts and to all the guys and gals out there who's posts I have read, I say thanks for all of it. If you are reading this and thinking about having the sleeve or other WLS just do it, I'm so glad I did, just wish it had been an option years ago Happy anniversary to me and any others for 16 July ! That's all folks

Yes Valentina is absolutely right there Get moving as soon as you can and welcome to the Losers bench!

Hi there I would go back to measuring food and tracking it with my fitness pal. Do you have a fit bit or any other step measurer? It does not matter how slow you are losing as long as you are losing. Good luck

Great post , I'm in the corner sniggering too !
