I use impact whey Protein, I find vanilla is good and when I want a change I add a small amount of instant coffee to it and it is lush. I particularly like the choc mint but I do have a sweet tooth.

I do not know the sugar content but all the nutritional values are indicated on the web page. You should get tasters as what I like you might hate.

Hi there. I have Hair loss. I'm 4 months out. It's not like all your hair falls out. People don't notice. It's often to do with general anaesthetic. How are you getting on?

I'm doing great thanx. I'm now 3 and a half months out and I've lost 4 stone. I'm half way there! I thought I noticed a little hair loss but it seems to have stopped since I got my hair cut. Still early days though so I won't be surprised if it kicks off again soon.

Hi All, I'm based in Ireland so it's great to see a group that's relatively close to me! I'm not sleeved yet but should be getting a surgery date in the next few months. I have one more pre op test to complete and it's just a waiting game from there! I've only been on here a few days but have made connections with great people and got lots of advice. :D

Hi everyone

I'm in Paisley Scotland and getting sleeved March 26th by Mr Galloway in Glasgow.

Great to see everyone doing so well.

I've got a 2 week low fat diet to follow so fingers crossed I can do that. Trying to cut down at the moment as my joints are really aching and I'm at my highest weight ever :(

As a failed bandster I am determined to make this op work for me.

Just have major issues about dying and leaving my wee girl alone. But trying not to panic too much....

try notn to think about dying the sleeve is no more dangerous than a gall bladder removal, and is much less invasive than the bypass, and not as long, focus on the positives if you can, xx

Ahh right I had a wee look at your other posts - how frustrating! Really feel for you having to keep waiting. I was bad enough being told it'd be Jan then having to wait till March...

Fingers crossed for you. Maybe we'll be going through this together.

I'm getting sleeved in a few hours. Early Tuesday at 7am. Bit worried for my family but not scared.

Hope all goes smoothly. I know my Pre op diet was a roller coaster but still lost 1 stone.

Going to miss the binge but need to be forced now. Can't wait to be post op fast forward 3 months.

      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! 😞
