Recommended Posts

Hiya! I have posted on the UK forum before but nowhere else and now everything is going ahead I thought I would introduce myself properly and see if anyone had any advice!

I am nervous and excited, I start my pre-op liquid diet on wednesday and determined to stick to it!

My current weight is 24st 3lbs so I have loads to lose and I can't wait to start.

If anyone has any tips please share them! I can't really imagine what life after my surgery is going to be like!

Hi there, I am being banded in Australia on the 15th of August. I have to do a special diet of Meal Replacements for the 3 weeks prior to surgery so I have been on it for 5 days and have lost 4.5 kg. Not sure what that is in pounds. The primary reason for going on this diet is because it shrinks your liver to make surgery easier. It's slowly getting easier. The first few days I was so grumpy.....my poor hubby and kids. Anyway, now that the weight is coming off I'm not so grumpy as it is a great side effect!!! Can't wait to get banded and start my new life.....but I'm nervous as well. It's a pool of mixed emotion. Take care, Kez

      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?
