Hi everyone, I am please to have found a U.K support site.

I was Sleeved on the 18th Aug 2011 and I think I am doing everything wrong after reading your stories.... I raidly got bored with blitzed food and have tried to add variety with my food. I am very social so eating out was a challenge on pureed food stuffs so I managed a childs portion of fish chips and peas the other day. admittedly i didn't eat the batter and sucked three chips and a fork full of peas but it was good!!!

The only down side I have found is I am back to work ( after 10 days sort of rest) and I find my right side seems to pull by the end of the day!!! I am very tired too...

My start weight was 12st 12lb, and I have health issues with high blood pressure kidney disease, gout.... I am now off most of my medication, I took 13 pills a day to start with and now I take 3.

My gout has dissapeared and I have got down to 11st 4lb and it is my 6 week reveiw with the surgeon tomorrow...

I had to pay privately and went to the Spire Hospital southampton and had a Mr Van Den Bossche.

I look forward to any tips the U.k branch can pass on!

happy weight loss.

Lady Ann

Hiya Lady Ann ...

google ticker factory and follow the steps. To get it onto your profile you have to copy and paste the BB code (I think that is what it is) ... this is pasted on to your signature, under your profile settings. It took me ages to get the hang of it...lol... but I am a visual person and I like to see it move!!

EWWWW, a broken rib is nasty. I am out of action at the moment with a thigh injury and it has taken its toll on me so heaven knows how you must be feeling. Chin up my lovely and a speedy recovery xx

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
