Hi all' date=' I was sleeved Aug 8th 13. I'm 5 weeks out & have lost 2 stone, very pleased so far, I've been told to avoid bread, Pasta, rice & potatoes at the moment but need some softish food inspiration! I had my sleeve done in London Bmi independent hospital. Hope everyone is doing good too x[/quote']

Hi UK sleevers, food wise I have been following the 'Fitter Food London' cookbook and lifestyle. If you go on their website they have lots of free recipes. They're really easy to make. Soft foods I just had Philly cheese, tuna, scrambled egg, mashed avocado and yoghurt. I love ox tongue and loved the rich source of nutrients so I mashed that up to. Another very helpful resource is the Protein pow(der) app/website. Again lots and lots of free recipes (on the website) made from clean ingredients and protein powder.. A few are low carb as well. Good Luck :)

I have not struggled at all on the 800 calorie diet , I think it is because I had imagined a whole month on liquids etc.. I gave hard boiled eggs apples .. Ryvita with the blue cheese laughing cow , always a few polo mints and my daily treat is a werthers original at bedtime and in three weeks I have lost around 11 kilo :)

Hi, good luck for the 9th, I'm 8 weeks out now & it's the best thing I've done! I eat lots of Protein, it's filling, prevents too much muscle loss & generally makes me feel good! I've lost 3 stone too!

Dont worry about it. Its normal happens to majority of people but at different times as we are all individuals. Make sure y dont mistaken dehydration for hunger. Just enjoy te ride, its worth it. Im nearly 10 months out on 21st oct and down around 40kg and from a size 22,24 to 12,14 dependant on brand, style etc

Dont give up. Best of luck.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
