Hi he was my surgeon too. And I know the girl you mean on the word she was brilliant she works so hard. Do you attend the meetings at all ? I had my surgery in April and every class has been cancelled each month for different reasons, which is a bit annoying. X

No I haven't been to any of the meetings. Like you said there have been cancellations. I find it handy to have everyone at the end of the phone/ email but tbh I haven't really had anything I needed them for. I'm due my 6 months bloods this week then follow up in 2 weeks. They've been great. Hope you're doing OK x

Hi I'm am doing great thanks. I was wondering if maybe it's how he does the sleeve. Or didn't no if it's just me, and I've been lucky so it would be nice to no how how you feel or any 1 else who had same surgeon. I've had absolutely no complications or hiccups no sickness had no problems with any kind of foods I can drink perfectly well no sipping. Even with a straw. X

I've been great too. I was I hospital 3 days post op with severe nausea. But that's me with general anaesthetic anyway. I'm always the same! I had absolutely no pain. I followed my post op plan to the letter and I've had no food I tolerances and I haven't found anything I can't eat! I think it's been brilliant. I've been tired a lot but my bloods are fine. Thinks it's sometimes due to lack of calories. But I'd do it again tomorrow. X

Get your Vitamins in for after surgery. The Centrum chewable are nice initially post op. Don't get forceval soluble off your GP- they made me vomit and the dietician said she doesn't know anyone who has tolerated them!! I went on the normal forceval tablets at around 2 months post op - they're huge and quite difficult to swallow so couldn't get them down at first!

I've never really done them tbh. I make the odd smoothie using optimum nutrition gold standard but that's all. The team don't really advocate Protein powders. I manage to get plenty of Protein from milk, meats, eggs etc. I also love the Skyr strawberry yoghurt. They're high protein and great for Snacks.

They absolutely are. My dieticians want me to eat a balanced diet from all food groups instead of focusing on Proteins. I don't have to stick to everything low fat. So I eat what I want. Just very small portions. I am still careful though. Luckily I lost my sweet tooth post op so I've had no chocolate/ Cake etc in 6 months. That has definitely helped! Lol

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
