Hi everyone!

Just back from Belgium where I was sleeved on 5 May by Dr Marc Focquet.

Really positive experience couldn't have been looked after any better - would recommend.

First couple of days felt a bit groggy mainly from anaesthetic but feeling great now and have lost 7lbs since sleeve date :thumbup:

Just been supermarket shopping and didn't crave any carby or chocolatey Snacks. Bought lots of healthy veg and am now going to stock the freezer with yummy homemade Soups.

This site is inspirational and really helped me to make my decision and I'm confident I won't look back - must go now need to sip, sip, sip :001_smile:

Take care!

Lyn

Thanks guys - I'm really trying to stay positive and focus on the results.

Think I've pretty much worked out when I'm full - get uncomfortable trapped wind feeling and need to burp (very ladylike - not! lol) - but not yet used to anticipating that feeling and stopping before I get there. Think I need to slow down even on liquids - trouble is that's really hard for me as have always been a really fast eater. Probably one of the contributors to my getting so heavy.

Anyway onwards and upwards - or should that be downwards!!

Hi Lyn,

Welcome home!

Yes, I agree with you- They are really great in Belgium. I had a wonderful experience there too, and I would most certainly recommend them. I am so glad I went there. Very efficient and so so friendly.

I am just a week ahead of you, and lost 7lbs the first week and 4 lbs the second. I am pleased with that.

I am actually enjoying the food, maybe a little too much. I am eating 70 grams Protein per day but seem to be consuming 600-800 KCals per day, mostly around the 700.

The very best of Good Luck to you,

Keep in touch,

Booklean

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
