Anyone close?

Smoggy' date=' I went through the bariatric surgery unit at Royal Hayat hospital here in Kuwait. Dr Osama did my surgery, but I have met the whole team and they are all very good! I am very happy with my experience so far and have lost about 12 kg ( will know officially tomorrow, as I will have my 2 week post op check up)![/quote']

Hi Smoggy!

I am counting the days for my 1 month post op check up! According to my scale I have lost about 14kg in total, it slowed down a lot after the first week, but as long as the scale keeps moving downwards, I am happy!! I am back to living a normal life, although I am eating a very small amount of soft foods!

Thank you for asking, how are you doing?

I'm okay- not planning on having surgery until July, but am seeing a counsellor about my food issues and triggers and bit by bit getting organised for July.

Hello all and congrats for your weight loss and steps in the right direction.

It seems that the middle east now is becoming infested with the obesity disease due to a change of lifestyle as well as the rapid infiltration of fast food.

It has been a feasting period in Egypt and I cannot stop realizing that people are eating like beasts, it is almost like a feeding frenzy every time that food is served. But then I remind myself that not long ago, I was eating as much, and frequently enough I was eating more than that.

It seems that the surgery or the pre and post op diets, change our perception of food quantities to a large degree.

Keep it up and keep in touch.

Welcome all, it is nice to meet new people in the Middle East as many people in this part like to keep the surgery secret.

I am Canadian Lebanese lives in Dubai. Had surgery around end of Feb. Losing slowly.....it is really frustrating. Started training in the gym last week and feel really good and energetic about it.

I can eat anything. Tried high protein diet but didnt work for me and really stalled me so now I eat some healthy carbs. My favourite is whole grain with some Labneh on it.

What is your weight loss progress like???

Love me some labaneh lol

I am officially in a stall mode. I just started the puree phase too, but do not see many options in that area. I already took some kobeba (2 fingers size), tried hummus without oil. I cooked some puree of potatoes, but it was a flop as i added too much milk, and what i got at the end was more like a soup. I also eat some nuts (about 5) for a snack, or some low fat cheese. I hope this stall phase washes away.
