Anyone in the UK?

In fact, if you Google st George's healthcare bariatric page they have a really good post op food plan which is very similar to the one I was given. It just makes more sense and is easy to follow.

Just read that recommendation....I think it's fabulous and VERY doable thank you madadams ! [emoji106]

You're welcome. I printed it out and used it as a Bible. For some reason post op I just kept getting confused with what I could have and when. Think it was the anaesthetic! Lol. Keep us updated x

BTW....post op wind pain can be awful. In the Alex they give you peppermint tea but it doesn't work. From getting home I got peppermint cordial (from tesco in the alcohol aisle). A warm glass first thing in the morning got rid of any wind for the day and really helped getting fluids down. I still have a glass every morning.

Yes there is, I hope to go. I will be 24hrs post op!

Be had my pre op appointments your were right guys the staff at the Alex are wonderful. Gave me so much confidence. Bring on Tuesday!

Ps. I can't believe how different the plan is to what I read from the US. Especially around Protein shakes.

I agree the UK diet is very different than the US. They do lots of Protein shakes and I've been told to eat normal and cut back. I've lost 11lbs in 7 days which is great pre-op. 8 days to go til surgery!!

Does anyone know if Bassetts chewable Multivitamins are good enough for sleevers?

I'm two weeks away from the big day and stocking up. I'm a Brit actually living in Singapore but as there is no support here, I hope you don't mind me following the Brit sleevers group.

I'm getting a friend to bring me any stuff I need from the UK (Boots/ Holland & Barrett). Is there anything else I need to stock up on ?

Thanks for your advice.
