Hi

My date is 4th October, just wondering if there are any other people from UK about to or recently been sleeved? it'd be good to hear from you x

Fatgreek my protein.com is good for buying protein shakes' date=' they sell taster size packs so that you ca find out which ones you like.[/quote']

Any particular one you would recomend for low fat sugar good protein. There seems to be loads.

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.

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

Thanks pinkgrace . How are you finding being a sleevie?

im still waiting to get sleeved, but have found a lot of very useful info and help from people who have been sleeved, xx

my ticker says i was sleeved on the 9th oct 2012, but i didnt have it, it has been delayed and i left the ticker to count down how long extra i have had to wait, x

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.

gilx

that would be good, waiting together, lets keep in touch, x

I am getting sleeved on the 18th and am.......... cra**ing myself

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 think it is good when you get an early slot, wake up and no anxious waiting and have a whole day to recover, thinking about you, xx

Thank you. As a bloke I feel that I need to take rubbish out before surgery. Feel like I'm forgetting something. Very frustrating. Lol
