Sue swapping over

Hi, I had my band removed and a sleeve done in same operation, I now can eat all foods just half portions, it’s so much easier, I’ve not been sick once and no more stuck foods. I had my band in for 12 years and kept 6 stone off, I have lost just over a stone since having sleeve and now weigh just over 12 stone, I will be happy staying this weight

Wooooowwwwww you look fab x

Hi all, update on surgery, all went to plan, been sucking on extra strong mints and Rennie wind tablets, so far not a lot of gas. Had fluids and clear Soup and a small yogurt today, seemed ok, a bit sore and feel v bloated/swollen around stomach, feel tired as not much sleep due to constant checks
having paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain, so not much, did feel v sick when I woke up but anti sickness jab sorted that also on IV for antibiotics and saline but that stops later and all being well home tomorrow
walking around is ok as well, hope this helps others x

Hi all, I’m sitting here in my gown waiting to go down for my surgery. Excited, bloody scared, I’m having lap band removed and sleeve done.
god willing it will all go as planned. X

Oh wow, you must have felt so good 😊

Well, thank god your surgeon sounds good, don’t know where you live but in uk your boss would just have to accept the letter and pay the sick leave

I’m 19th

Whooooooooo, well done to you. Please keep updates going. God willing this will be me next week. My surgery is next Thursday 😘

Hi, you are day b4 me. I. Having my pre op today, just waiting on bloods now, yikes

I was 275 pounds in 2012. I was overweight, unhealthy, pre-diabetic. I did the Sleeve in Tijuana. My goal was to get down to 200. This morning, I was 193.8. I got the weight off, and have kept it off for 9 years. It works! If you consider it and treat it as a life change, it works. For 9 years, I have done my Protein Shakes twice a day. I do not eat carbs....I work out. I get full, I stop eating. I am 61 and my doc says I have the bloodwork of a man in his 30s. The first picture was a month before surgery. July 2012. The second picture was recent. April 2021.

Once you reach your goal weight, if you are happy, you enter maintenance phase. You eat a few more calories to support your body. You should have a dietitian/nutritionist on your team who can help you decide what the appropriate number of calories is for weight loss, maintenance, etc. No one can really give you a number, because we are each different in our height, age, body composition, activity level, etc.

Good luck with your surgery.

Hi, hope someone can help…….. when I get to the weight I want to be how do you stop losing too much .? I’m really worried that I will loose too much and look old and ill
has anyone got to their weight and just kept it stable ?
please help and advise xxx

Thank you so so much, my surgery is next week and getting nervous but excited, great rad. Take care x

Be v v careful with drinking, it’s so easy to cross addict x

Hi All
im due for surgery on 19th Aug, I’m really confused about intake of liquids after surgery…… Breakfast? ??? If I have a smoothie, how much should it be for each serving, should they be very runny same with Soups, I’m planning on making soups b4 I go in and freezing them, but again how much to put in each pot
i have a lap band, 12 years now, nothing but problems, so changing to sleeve, I have lost 5 stone, currently weigh 13 stone, and really don’t want to lose huge amounts, 2 stone, so also worried about that……… I’m just worried lol
really I want it all, 2 stone weight loss, keep it stable, and to eat normal small meals, without having to run to the bathroom every time I eat, which is what happens with the band
sorry jumped from one thing to another

Huge huge thank you for this, it has really helped, so glad you are doing well xx
