Dean, I haven't had to take any fibre post op - probably because I don't eat enough Protein and why I am now anaemic!! I would suggest asking your dietician or surgeon first. I have also been contemplating one of those expensive juicers since I have spent all of my Christmas break in bed watching TVSN and shopping online. Without sounding like an advertisement for TVSN, they have the Vitamix for $995 with part payments. I would love this but then I am a kitchen gadget person. My kids are complaining that we don't have a juicer anymore. Let me know if you get one.

Hey' date=' do you guys do any fibre supplementation?

I haven't been as regular as pre surgery, which isn't surprising my diet at the moment is really high Protein. I should eat more vegetables but I can't seem to fit it in.

The last two days I've taken a single 2/3 dose of Metamucil mid morning. I was worried about a full dose exceeding the size of my stomach. I've also been thinking about getting a Vitamix.

What do you guys do?

Hi Dean, like you I am eating my Protein first and don't fit in much salad or vege, but I have fruit and Water as well as grainy carbs and don't have a problem with fibre.

I've look at Thermomix and they are amazing but expensive. You can make anything in them from ice cream to Soup a

Or a roast to salad. I would love one, but more useful for a family to use then just the two of us.

Maybe I need to be not so Protein focused and have some grainy carbs. It's bizzare not craving carbs. Because there's not interest in carbs anymore I just don't think to eat them!

Hi Dean, are you seeing a dietician? Mine told me that I must have a min of 3serves of grainy carbs each day and that is the most important thing to stay regular, plus it gives you the energy you need. Too much Protein will definitely clog you up!

Hey Kelli. I've seen a dietician twice. Once pre surgery and then two weeks post.

I'm 8 weeks post op today (26kgs down, yeah!) And I'm due to see her at the 3 month mark, but I think I might try and get in earlier. Thanks for all the advice - a big help.

Have a great day,

Deano

Good idea, I saw mine twice before surgery then 4 times in the 5 weeks after surgery as it was a six visit program. It was invaluable advice.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
