Thank you all! We are heading to India in October for Durga pujo....we haven't told my inlaws that i had surgery' date=' lost weight or that i learned to wear sari myself. They will be so surprised! Not sure if we will tell about the surgery tho.[/quote']

You look absolutely amazing. I am a pro at putting in a sari and yours looks way better than mine lol!!!! Have fun in India. Your in laws are going to be shocked.

I hope you have a wonderful time!!! Please plan out your meal options before going, so that you are well prepared when you get there. Also, be even more careful with food and drink than you normally would be.

I got a stomach bug about 2 months post-op, while in India, and it was the one time I regretted having surgery. That episode was by far the worst, in the 7 years that I lived in India.

I am off to India for two weeks starting on the 7th, for work. I will be in Pune. I'm actually pretty excited and I feel confident that I will do fine with eating. I will be staying at a nice hotel in Magarpatta, and I know that they can make dishes to my specification.

Enjoy your trip, Mistysj!

Hi NMJG,

So.what kind of recipes you want to know! I mean like soft food or proper solid diet recipes?

Hi Newlifsils, NMJG,

would like to join you guys to activate this thread.. i am aswell from India and got myself sleeved on 22nd Jan 2014, its been 2 weeks now i am doing really well.. weight loss is been slow my body is kind of stubborn and it have always reacted slow even when i did any diets.. i am hoping with my sleev its not the case and i see better results in the upcoming months..

will look forword for responses..

i kinda of read complete thread

Hi Aswell,

Welcome to the board! The first month is just awful, but it gets better. Don't worry about comparing yourself to other people, everyone loses differently. I lose very slow. I lost about 2 lbs. a week for the first 5 months, now I lose about a pound a week. It's frustrating when lots of people lose 3-4 lbs. a week, but at least it is coming off. Good luck to you!

Hi Sumadnrao!

Welcome to Bariatripal! I was sleeved on 20th dec. 2013! And my weight loss in first month was very slow but it is gradually inc. Every week! So don't worry, everything will be fine! All the best to you!

Hi, Newlifesils! Thank you for your comment, and for bringing me back to this wonderful site! I took a bit of a hiatus when the interface began to change, but am glad to know this thread is still helping people out.

You appear to be at 2 months out now, I'm glad to hear you sounding so positive!

NMJG, Indian food has worked really well for me in regards to lentils and paneer, but I've had to dial the spice back! How are you doing with spices? I believe you are 6 months out?

Sumadnrao, congratulations on your new sleeve! Slow weight loss is better, believe me. You want that time for your skin and mind to adjust to your changing shapes. After all, most of us on here had difficulty losing weight at all, right? So something is better than nothing! All the best to you. Keep your spirits up.

Thanks a lot puja!

Hello Everyone,

I am also an Indian living in the U.S. I just had my surgery not too long also within a month ago. I was not aware that this surgery is also being performed in India. But it's so nice to meet you all here on this forum.
