Considering Gastric Sleeve
@@biginjapan I watched the documentary you recommended and really enjoyed it I am nearly 4 months post op but always a good reminder to watch shows like this to stay on track. I watched some eps of Fat Doctors too and I cried so much when Daniel died we really are lucky to have the chance to start fresh I definitely won't take it for granted. Thanks so much for recommending these.

Too few calories=stall?
Im nearly 4 months out 32kgs down and aim for at least 1000-1200 calories a day but still have the odd day where I'm around 800. I actually lose more when I eat more but its hard I really have to force myself to eat every 3 hours or so.

Stupid things people say when they find out you've had surgery....
That I cheated so my weight loss doesn't count. Also had a couple of people comment what will I do about all the loose skin I will get.

Backed out last minute, but I'm back again...
Thats exactly why I did it. Im obese but had no co morbities or health problems. My husband howevet has type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea our daughters are still young and I was very aware that the next 5kgs I put on could have been the straw that finally broke the camels back and brought on countless health issues. I had vsg 3 months ago no regrets 30kgs down and although life still has its ups and downs weight definitely won't be one of those for me anymore. Wish you all the best on your journey!

Doctor Prescribed Shakes
You can if your doctor allows. On preop I was allowed one serve of fruit a day. I preferred to eat it as a snack rather than blending with protein shake.

Protein powder choice help plz!
My nutritionist said to get any protein powder as long as per scoop it has 20-30grams protein less than 3grams carbs and less than 3grams fat. As long as it meets those requirements get what tastes best to you.
