Hi guys my 10 months update. Im down 40.7kg. 9.6kg to reach my minimum goal of 60kg. Hope i get there

Hi everyone. I'm getting sleeved on 12th November at Nuffield Brentwood with Mr Koak. My pre op slimfast diet starts on 29th. I am very excited but also nervous. My husband is great but he's a feeder and is getting very twitchy about me eating small meals. I have secondary progressive MS and still work part time' date=' as he's retired he's the chef.[/quote']

Good Luck.. Not far from me.. I'm in Southend on Sea. I'm 8 months sleeved and the best thing I've ever done!! My moms a feeder so I have sympathy. I just told her that I love her very much, lover her cooking, but I need her to live me back and support me with my new lifestyle. She's fine now!! :)

It's great to know I have someone else so close that's gone through this! How much have you lost so far?

I have lost 8st 2lbs so far.. Just past 8months post op!! Yes very close :)

Wow, that is Amazing!! How hard is it and did you have any problems after surgery? Sorry to bombard you with questions xx

I haven't found it difficult at all. For me so far it's been magnificent. Of course post op for 4-6weeks is challenging but now that is just a very distant memory!! I had no pre op diet luckily so never 'suffered' through that either. No problems after surgery, focused more on 'clean' eating than anything else. No hair loss to date :) and started exercising after my 7 week post op appointment. I've made a lot of positive changes to my lifestyle.. One thing I'm not anymore is obsessed... Not about the scale, calories, protein or anything else!! Yes I flow the rules.. Protein first, stop when I'm hungry, weigh every 1-2 weeks. I just get a huge smile on my face when I think of my journey... And I hope that yours is as amazing as mine!!

How are all the newly sleeved UK peeps doing??? You've all gone MIA!!

3weeks post op and going well drinking well no effects or pain and roughly loosing half a stone per week !! Incisions look like little scratches now to ..

That sounds great!! I hope I'm the same :-)

When is yours ? I had never had an op before but it was much better than u had imagined only downside was frag min injections for 7 days .

I was given to take home liquid paracetamol , anti acid reflux drug, laxatives and they are all if you need them which I did not but fragmin is the anti blood clot injection I had to self do for 7 days it did sting a bit but I thought it's only once a day for a week .. Where is your surgery taking place .. Rich

Ah ok, thanks. I have MS and injected myself with medication for 7 years so hopefully that will be ok. Liquid painkillers make sense. I'm having my op at the Nuffield in Brentwood. About 60 miles from home but it's all good. How are you feeling now? Cathy
