I can't get my head around the fact that some

People say it takes 30 minutes to feed on small amount of food. I wonder if its possible to get enough Water through the day and nutrients to stay healthy. How did you do it.

The first couple of weeks it takes ages just to drink your protein drinks but gets a lot easier but takes some getting used to! I try n drink as much as possible as the other day I felt awful think I was dehydrated but once i increased my fluid intake felt much better once Iv eaten I normally wait 20mins then have a drink I take a multi vitamin n a calcium chewable tablet everyday aswell do u have to go on a Pre op diet before surgery?

Would you say it's wort it??? I am a little worried

Also what brand shake and Multivitamin do you use most people on here list American brands.

Do you feel well now?? Plus do you forget your on a diet and then are sick much.

I use centrum chewable multi vitamin and I have slimfast shakes but I don't really drink many now as when I did when I first had the op

In my opinion it is definitely worth it as no way would I have been able to lose the amount of weight I have lost doing my own thing it is definitely a learning curve on eating and eating the right things I have a saucer sized plate that I have my dinner on and sometimes don't finish all my meal I do still feel hunger which can be an issue sometimes but if I eat the right things protein etc n drink plenty then I don't feel as hungry

Thank you for you advise I hope I can do it. It's very worrying to think of the change in volume of food. Big guess its the way to lose weight. How many times you eat a day the?

Say 2 shakes 1 saucer meal etc?? Just trying to get my head round it.

At 10 weeks out I eat breakfast which is usually ready brek or Special K then might have a muller light yoghurt mid morning for lunch i might have a piece of toast n a poached egg or soup then mid afternoon maybe a slimfast or a babybel then dinner is whatever everyone else is having but a smaller portion

It is a very life changing thing to happen but it does get a lot easier say from when ur one week out to me now is like wow it's gone so quick and you feel better everyday as the weight melts off also when I got to week 3 my weight stayed the same for about a week which was annoying as your hardly taking in any calories but after that stall you start to lose again

That sounds like a good diet. I was under the impression it would be multivitamins and shakes as the only food to supply what the body needs etc. x

No by say week 6 you should be on to a normal diet there were a few things that I couldn't eat or would sit uncomfy but then the next week it would be fine it's just trial n error n also the first few months your still healing n swollen inside have you got to go on a Pre op diet?
