Hi anyone having surgery April/may from uk



Recommended Posts

I haven't spoke to anyone so you don't know how nice it is to be able spk to u about it. How u finding the purée stage?

More than happy to help at any time! Just to reassure you, I would do it again!! Can't wait to see the results! Purée stage is okay. Much better than liquid. Struggled with some foods, but the real food was welcome :)

How long did your surgeon put you in the liquid diet for before moving to purée? I have to do it for 4 weeks then move next stage. Am pleased you would do it again. How old are you? I am 26 x

I had a 2 week liquid diet before purée. Each surgeon is different. You may want to do done prep work before your surgery. I got sick of the store bought Soup after a week. I'm 32! Wish I had the surgery at 26.

Yes I thought about making some Soup before the op. Was there any that didn't go down well? I have been trying for a baby for about 4 years and my doctor recommended the surgery to me as said hopefully the weight loss will help. Also pissed off being like a whale. X

Hi Sparklediva,

My op is going to be at Queen Alexandra, Portsmouth Hospitals. Not absolutely sure it will be a bypass, maybe a sleeve, won't know till the last bloods are done. I can't say I'm too stressed about it, they will do what is best for me. Sort of handed that worry over to them. I'm on my second day of my milk diet, just having a treat, a stick of sugar free chewing gum. :lol: Is today the day??????

Yeah, I did wonder about the gum!!!! Let us know as soon as you're up to it how it went plz. Yeah, spooky isn't it? Just up the road. Who is your surgeon? It is really sad, that I look forward to my bovril more than anything!!! I'm really hating cooking for the family, I dish up and sit in another room. This food thing is a real addiction. Good luck, can't wait to hear everything went well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
