Hi if I start to think what have I done I stop myself by reminding myself of how horrible it felt to be overweight. I think of all the normal activities of daily living I couldn’t do and now can even just two weeks out. Yes we’ve done a drastic thing and we may at time question it but the alternative was worse - no enjoyment of life, feeling fat and horrible and having co morbidities to deal with. Weve done the best thing for our bodies and mental health. Focus on something like how you are going to feel on your next vacation with your new found fitness! ❤️

Hi yes I’ve been making them with almond milk but still hate the sweetness! Shots not arrived yet so hopefully they will be better as much less fluid to get down. I am hitting protein and fluid levels but some days you feel like all you are doing is drinking, I’m going to have to start getting up earlier to fit it all in ?

Hi all I’m 16 days post op and down 15lbs which I’m ok with. I lost a stone pre op in the two week liver shrink diet as well so 29lbs altogether. The only day I haven’t lost was yesterday when I went on a short gentle hike but also struggled to get all my fluids in. I’ve ordered some protein shots as I hate the protein shakes. I’ve also got some unflavoured protein powder now as well and that’s ok but the flavoured ones are too sweet for me, I’ve never been a sweet tooth even before the op. im also going to only get weighed on a Monday from now on as daily is too tense for me!

Hi I had my sleeve on the 20th Dec. I feel great and am two stone down already, including pre op diet. I am managing all fluid requirements and protein but hate the sweetness of the protein shakes so have now got some unflavoured to add to home made ones. I am nervous to eat , not because I can’t, have had some puréed apple with no probs but so desperate to lose all my weight. I know I will need to eat to help with the weight loss and I will get my head round it but I’m in the uk and have paid for this op. Hubby was against it but as he’s a decent chap he is being ok but this has to work for me! In the plus side I already feel better carrying less weight and am so excited to get my health and fitness back.
