Ahlan wa sahlan! Welcome to the group. Don't worry about your English. I am an American living in Lebanon, I am sure that I give the locals plenty of laughs with my "wonderful" Arabic lol ;)

16 kilos in a month and a half if great! Have you started exercising? It might be difficult if you just moved to London. But go out and explore your new surroundings and you will be exercising at the same time :)[/quote']

Ultra, how far out are you? I think living in Kuwait you should be able to find several Protein supplement options. Do you have a GNC store? I bought a chocolate flavored whey protein isolate. I make a shake everyday, it got boring, I'm not going to lie. One day I add banana, one day Peanut Butter, sometimes instant coffee crystals.

You can do it, don't get discouraged :)

There are three in Bir Hassan (Amtrag and Costco), one in St Therese (EZ shop) and one in Sfeir (Deals), oh forgot one...it's in a gas station, yeah that's what I said, in a gas station on Old Saida Road, between the Mar Maroun Church and the the Beirut Mall. They have saltine crackers and Crystal Light! They carry other dietish items too. I actually got my multi Vitamins at the gas station!

Hi guys

Born in Australia and Lebanese background my parents are from Lebanon. I was sleeved on 3 December and have lost 10 kilos. Just had Christmas here and what helped was stage 3 soft food do all I had was 2 tablespoons of baba ganouch and hommus. What are your cravings if you have had any? Any recipe ideas for the soft food stage?

Salaam Ladies!!

I was sleeved on 12-12-12. What a date to remember. I'm from Syria - but currently live in southern California.

Not doing well with my liquid intake - find it hard to drink more than 8 oz of Water a day and about 4 oz of shake. It sucks watching everyone enjoying dinner and you know us Arabs - its a feast every night :-)

Love this post!!!

Hi Ms. Cali,

Where about in SoCal are you? I was in OC but moved towards the desert.

I'm not sleeved yet, but I totally understand about the feasts. My family owns a restaurant and my mother in law lives with us. Hope I can curb all of my cravings when my family cooks.

Best of luck to all of you!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
