Give yourself time to heal and trust the process It will happen when your body is ready. Until then concentrate on self care and getting over the procedure. It will happen. Good luck

I don’t suffer with it but was told I have to take them for life , as any acid would eventually cause little ulcers in the stomach at the site where it was cut

I was told to take iron with orange juice

Lip balm is a must good luck

My op was on Wednesday April 3rd I went back on Monday 8th April desk job and I was fine , but see how you are we all recover differently i was lucky I had very little pain and a good pain threshold. Stick to the pre op diet so that your livers shrinks down as much as possible to make the surgery easier for your surgeon don’t rush back if you dont need to look after yourself,, good luck

I’m Aril 3rd too I’m not losing much I’ve stopped weighing as I’d only lost 9 pound in six weeks since surgery but I lost a lot pre op just trusting what I’m doing is correct and hoping it will come off eventually saw my surgeon yesterday and he’s very happy with me I lost 8kg in the month prior to starting pre op First day of Pre op weight 99kg surgery date weight 90 kg yesterday weight 84.6 kg slow but sure

Don’t panic I’m six weeks out and only lost 9lbs saw my surgeon today he’s over the moon with me I lost quite a lot on the pre op diet Ive hidden my scales and just going to follow what I know is right I’m confident it will happen albeit slowly but that’s fine with me I’m moving to solid food today so we’ll see what happens ditch the scales and let yourself heal and be kind to yourself It will happen when your body is ready good luck

Here’s another one for when you move to next phase .....overnight oats,lots of protein in this.... 3 large tbsp of oatmeal half pint skimmed milk genorous amount of fat free Greek yoghurt one scoop chocolate protein powder mix well in sealed container and put in fridge overnight the oats with soak up the milk and yoghurt add more milk if too thick when it’s all soaked in you can can make it thick or runny depending on what stage your at eat for breakfast or whenever its so good you you can use whatever flavour protein you want
