PEGGO got a reaction from Bastian in Any August 2019 people out there?
Im glad you posted this question Celtic .Ive been wondering the same thing ! I read about people going to the gym , and walking loads , I’ve had it by the time I’ve got up and got myself showered , dressed etc. I have to stop for a bit before I go on to the next job. I’ve been obsessed with. trying to get more Protein to get more energy , but my son informs me that more protein won’t nessacarily give more energy , we NEED it, but it’s our small calorie intake that makes energy low. He had the surgery and said he was tired for a while after . When I thought about it , on the nutritional info on backs of things , calories are described as energy. Having said that , I think a lot depends on age as well . I bet a lot of the people who are working out etc . are much younger than me !😊

PEGGO got a reaction from Frustr8 in Help please! Which soft phase foods are best for constipation?
I would cut out hard boiled eggs. They can contribute to constipation. My son swears by Ben fibre which they also reccomend in my Bariactric Bible . Hope you’re feeling a bit better now . Bless you , it sounds really painful . Good luck .

Hi Deedee,
yes absolutely we should keep updating !
Hows everyone doing ? Before I had the surgery, I had a very very weak bladder , that made life quite difficult. Had to take tablets and everything . Now, It’s gone !! Don’t have to take tablets anymore , so none of the nasty side effects I used to get , and life is so much easier, plus and I got back a little bit of lost self esteem . SO looking forward to a life of no longer being overweight 😀 All the very best of luck everyone !

PEGGO got a reaction from SueM165 in Any September Sleevers?
Hi Linda . I was dreading the pre-op diet too. I couldn’t see any way on earth how i was going to do it , but was amazed how easy I found it ! I think because we have a focus and know if we don’t do it, we don’t get the surgery . I had to do it for 4 weeks instead of 2, because my surgery was cancelled at the last minute and the surgeon wanted me to
stay on it . I was also worried my liver hadn’t shrunk enough because my paper work was out of date by the time I had to do it , and they’d changed so I was doing it slightly wrong it. but He told me it was the smallest liver he’d ever operated with , and it made it so easy !you do get used to it . I did the version which was 4 Protein Shakes and 2 cups of vegetables a day . Your programme may be different . Good luck . please keep me posted ?

I froze the Protein Shakes and made ice lollies , it’s easier to get them down sometimes I find

Mr sean, sounds like you’re doing great !I have never been given any kind of calorie goal , so hope I’m doing it right too! . I’m day 19 post op and have never weighed myself yet . I think i’m scared to in case I haven’t lost enough and will be disappointed! Is everyone else weighing themselves ?

PEGGO got a reaction from FluffyChix in Worried About Post Surgery Complications
Grant , this doesn’t sound right at all. I’m worried for you that you haven’t seen a surgeon.I can only repeat what others have said to you .Youve obviously put a lot of effort into this , and don’t want to cause more problems for yourself . It must be horrible to keep throwing up all the time . I hope by now you’ve seen someone and that you’re getting the right care . Please let us know how you go on . Good luck

Hi aedez, Congratulations! you get used to the waiting time between eating and drinking . I struggled a bit but soon got used to it . I got tired of ordinary Water , and now have flavoured Protein water , it gives you a bit of variety and helps with the protein intake too. Also try to drink 2 cups of milk a day .I wish you a smooth post op period and speedy recovery .

Would it help you to step back a phase just for a couple of days ? It’s the hardest thing to keep sipping water continuously when you feel nauseous. I Found it slightly easier with flavoured water .

PEGGO got a reaction from mr.sean in Any August 2019 people out there?
I hope it helps you. Mr SeanI also can feel nauseous if I’ve overdone things too. It’s not easy to just sit and rest when you feel you can do stuff ,but it pays off! I had about 2 teaspoons of Tomato Soup on day 7 and man did I feel ill! I think I had dumping , for the evening and all the next day . Didn’t vomit, but I sure thought I was going to . No worse feeling. Now I’m ultra careful ! Let us know how you get on . Good luck 😊
