After 34 years of struggling with constant diets, I am over the moon to say I have lost nearly 3 stone in just over 7 weeks! Wow! This sleeve is a gift from heaven!

I'm with you all the way Lady in Red. I was sleeved on 09/18 and have lost 17 pounds since surgery. Have just updated my ticker to find that my BMI has finally come out of the 60s and into the 50s. I just want to shout it from the rooftops! Woohoo!

[LadyinRed13 10]

Wow! That's fab well done! Imagine how we are going to look & feel on a years time! X

May I ask what 3 stones means? How much is that in pounds? You must be from the UK, right?

[loobylou238 43]

Lady in Red - where in the Uk are you from and where did you get your surgery done? I am in Scotland.

[LadyinRed13 10]

Hi I'm from London, had my surgery in London independent bmi hospital by Mr Manuur, how are you getting on? X

[loobylou238 43]

I live in Falkirk, a town halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The NHS wouldn't do my surgery because I did not have diabetes.

So I paid privately and went to a clinic in France. I consider this to be the best money I've ever spent and don't regret it one bit.

[LadyinRed13 10]

I agree with you, the best money I have spent too! I went private too, I should have done it years ago, I have 4 more stone to lose roughly, can you eat all foods? I struggle with chicken at the moment x

[loobylou238 43]

Nope, have been taking it easy. Liquidised home made Soup, yoghurts, crackerbread with Philly light, fruit juice, V8 juice, the occasional Protein Drink and Water. I'm not good at consuming my Proteins and getting enough water.

Before my op I did drink a lot of water but now I find it so hard just to sip.

Hi looby Lou

Well done that's fab on your loss. 17 pounds in 10 days is excellent.

I've lost 13 pounds so far. And 6 pounds pre op so 19 altogether. Bit dissappointed as i thought I would lose a lot more

Hello, I'm from the US. My surgery was 9/23. From my surgery consult on the 17th until the 26th, I had lost 14 pounds. I don't have a scales at home so I don't know how much more I have lost. I go back to Dr this Wednesday, so Im excited to see.

Dr still has me on Clear Liquids. Next will be full liquid. I'm doing pretty good with my Protein but having trouble with Water.< /p>
