No judgement at all! I love your commitment to getting in shape! I wish you the very best of luck in your journey and all the success in the world!

I’m on regular food now! Unfortunately my bowels are not cooperating so I’ve been using an enema once a week! Nearly 8 weeks out now! So yeah! Somethings wrong! Dr says it’s because I’m ingesting so little 🤨

Hi all! I’ve had a Gastric Sleeve done nearly 5 weeks ago, everything’s going smoothly however I’ve only pooped like twice in the 5 weeks. Is this normal?

Yes, I had to inject myself in the tummy, effed it up on the first time and blew a blood vessel giving myself a beautiful bruise!

I was considering the Bypass too! I decided on the Sleeve in the end though! I started at 19st 9 and I’m now down to 17 st 1 in a month! So I’m super pleased with the results! My cousin got the lap band done in Turkey and we have family over there, the hospitals are super nice. Way nicer than here! I went over on the 12th of June and I had a textbook perfect recovery I was up and walking around 2 hours after being brought back to my room! If you hit any walls here I would honestly consider going abroad, I was referred to Loughlinstown hospital for the weight management program, not the surgery, the pre surgery officially on the books for weight problems clinic. The secretary told me the waiting list was 5 years. I knew I had to take control of it and just decided to go for it!

Hi there! I’m from Ireland too! Dublin! I just had my Sleeve, but I travelled abroad because I faced the same problems you did! If you want any advice message me and I’ll give you my number! ❤️

Hi guys, So I’m having a little problem, I’m nearly four weeks post op and the weight is coming off well. But I’m on the soft food stage and sometimes after meals when I burp I basically regurgitate most of my meal. I’m not eating too much so I’m not too sure what’s going on! HW: 133kg SW:122kg CW:112.2kg GW: 75 kg

Yeah I was the same! It’s really put me off Mexican food!

So guys! I was really craving Mexican so I got a burrito bowl super healthy version only chicken and lettuce and sweet corn no cheese ,cream, guacamole or rice. I ate two bites and puked the entire thing up. I’m 4 weeks post op and it was way too much, I’ve been doing so well I thought I’d be a little adventurous. Never again!

@tyson4834 no unfortunately I’m getting around 40-50 grams a day

Yeah.. I didn’t think so! It’s just I’m not uncomfortable or anything so I thought I might be ok. But I’ll bring it up with my doctor!

Yeah that’s probably it I thought it might have been maybe the oil or the spices but I’ll avoid all three because I was soooo sick 😂

Oh yeah I’ve been on soft solids since week 3 and moved on to normal textures with caution this week.

That’s crazy! My total cost of surgery including anesthesia, medical supplies, dietician, room for 3 days, surgery, supplements and shakes for the first month was €4,000! No insurance or anything. Praise Europe!

I am a Sleeve! Unsure if there was any damage. My surgeon told me that every went perfectly!

Hi all! I’m currently three weeks with my little banana and I’m on soft food. So yesterday I tried an egg scrambled and I felt rubbish. So I just had a couple of ounces of cottage cheese for lunch and dinner and my tummy settled. So today I really didn’t feel great light headed and generally lethargic so I decided to make some extra lean mince beef and it went down fine. I took it super easy and I feel great. I feel warm and I have energy. I just thought it was weird that I couldn’t stomach one soft scrambled egg but I managed a serving spoon of mince? The body is crazy. Total loss since post op diet is 36lbs!

Yeah that’s probably it! ❤️

Hi all, I got my surgery on the 12th of June and I’m currently 10 days post op. I can’t shake the feeling that I should have gotten the bypass instead. I’m unsure that this surgery is going to work for me. I’m getting my protein in with those horrific shakes and sipping water the whole day but I’m still STARVING I’m currently on the thick liquids stage. I’m so worried it’s not going to work for me I’ve lost a lot of weight in the 10 days. 6kg about 13lbs. 12 kgs in total so around 26lbs since post op. But I don’t know how long I can keep this up. I’m so worried that I wasted all that money and it’s not going to work because I’m hungry literally 20 minutes after having my liquids. Has anyone else had this experience?

June 12th!!! Omg you have it done already! How are you getting on?

Hi all, So I started my pre op diet today and it’s 13.00 and I’m already thinking I can’t do this. Send help.

Hi all! I’ve been switched to the milk diet because I couldn’t stomach the protein shakes. They made me feel so nauseated. I was literally retching every time I tried to swallow it. I’m doing a lot better now. Day 3 and I haven’t cheated once and 4 Kgs down (Although that’s probably salt and water) ! I’m getting my Sleeve done on the 12th of June! The end is in sight! X
