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!

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

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

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.

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

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>

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
