I hope I am only in this infamous stall phase too...... I am 4 weeks out today.from band to bypass revision.... and have lost a total of 1stone 5 1/2 pounds... but of that only 1 pound this week and 1 pound last week... I have a shake for breakfast.... a small low cal high protein lunch and dinner... around 60___80 protein... not quite making my fluid target... but very disappointed the last two weeks..... recovery wise I feel fine...

I am one week post op and have lost ten and a half pounds. I get around 500ml of protein shake in a day and some soup. Good Luck on your journey

I'm worried to add fruit as I have been suffering with heartburn.... really hoped I had seen the last of that! I am on lansoprezole 30mg per day..

Well done you!!! You look fabulous. Can i ask if you go out to dinner what do you eat?? Have you had a glass of wine etc ??? I am only one week post op but lots of my friends do not know i have had any bariatric surgery so wonder how youcope with socialising??

I am one week post surgery and had my band removed and the bypass done in one surgery? I'm doing well.... not too much pain but an awful first 3 days due to the anastetic!!! Soooo hate the effects of that stuff! I am not enjoying any protein shakes but keep on drinking them.... getting on around50g protein a day... trying to increase.... ten pounds down already!! Happy with that

I am one week post revision surgery and have felt I need to concentrate on taking deep breaths throughout the day..... in hospital I had a spiroball to use every fifteen minutes. You're not alone on this ...... good luck

Nearly our date!!!!! how are you all feeling???? Xxx

No my pre op diet is low fat and low carb..... be so glad when Monday is here.... can't stop worrying I am going to come around from my ok to find I have only had my band removed ?good luck

Thank you for your reply... so hope it is all completely done in Monday ?

24th April for me?

You are due surgery the same day as me. Mine is revision from band to rny. .. I am doing a two week low get low carb diet.. good luck!! Xx

Hi bunnyboop... I am due to have band to bypass revision next week...... been waiting a year... did you have it as one surgery. How did it go.. how are you feeling and how quickly is the weight coming off?

Hello I am in for surgery nect week but the only thing that's really worrying me is that I may wake up from surgery to ring I have not had the bypass done. I have had my band for 9 years and did brilliantly with it.... unfortunately I suffer badly with reflux and a dilated oesophegusso my surgeon suggested conversion from band to bypass... I have waited a long time for my surgery date but at the pre op appointment last week he said that if he struggles to remove my band he will end the op and then in six months continue to bypass..... this has completely freaked me out... nobody knows I have even got a band.... so what on earth will I say if i come around and haven't had the bypass..... have many of you had the sirgery in one go.... when my surgeon suggested it he made no mention of possibly two surgeries... I don't do well with anaesthetic and i heal very slowly... greatful for any info. I am in London UK.

Hi Mia, Can I be cheeky and ask you how much fills cost at Spire TW... Think I need to make an appointment fairly soon as I have been eating far too much lately!! I find I do struggle with some foods at the begining of a meal but that eases and I can eat large portions and am hungry again within a couple of hours so I haven't lost any weight the last two weeks. I have also been reaching for the wrong foods lately like CHEESE! not a good thing. I need to tell myself off and get back on track. How are you doing??

Mia Its me again... I have just read through my post.... me presuming you live near Tunbridge Wells!! I am so daft... I travelled 150 miles to where I had my band fitted!! Sorry! I live about 12 miles from T Wells so was wondering if you know if they do fills there... This post is a bit of a jumble... hope you get what I'm on about. Georgina
