Hello everyone

I'm doing pretty good now. I tried to have sliced carrots yesterday but it was almost a near-death experience as I felt! Maybe because I only poured hot Water on them and not boil them!

Anyways, I'm hoping to ditch my Protein Powder in the next few weeks and start having Protein Bars. Do you think it's going to be safe to have them? I'll be one month post op next week, 30 August.

Hi everyone. I hope you don't mind me gate crashing!

I'm 10 days post surgery and have hit a wall with the tiredness. I almost blacked out today too. I'm really struggling to get much down without feeling sickly.

I really feel like my body needs something but I can't give it anything.

I found some Protein Shakes today that are nice and have 25g of Protein in but I can only get about a third of the bottle drank over 20 mins before I feel sick

@@Lulu_lulu Just be careful with Protein bars - some of them have high carbs and are candy bars disguised as health food. ;-)

@@snannapuss What are you eating/drinking at this stage? If you can't get anything down - please call your surgeon. You very well could be dehydrated and low in potassium, etc. - which is extremely dangerous! Take care!

Hi @@KristenLe, I'm managing to swallow things but feel full within a few mouthfuls.

I had about 2 dessert spoons of angel delight, around 250mls of milk, approx 4 dessert spoons of Soup, 300mls of Ribeana, 150mls Protein Shake and I'm going to try some yogurt now.

I spoke to my nurse yesterday and she said its all normal.

From my experience: manage to drink at least two liters of Water a day. Finish your Protein drinks. Aim to reach at least 40-60 grand of Protein a day. Protein will give you energy and won't make you feel tired.

Another thing that has helped me is Tuc biscuits. I chew them very well and swallow them. After only two, I feel full and energised. They're just normal biscuits with salt. I found that the salt is good if you feel dizzy.

The other important thing is Vitamins.

I had a major depression after my surgery and I only felt better when I have moved out of my ugly residence (in campus) to my spacious and comfortable friend's home.

Thank you @Lulu_Lulu.

I'm not far enough on for tuc biscuits yet but will definitely give them a go in a few weeks!

My surgeon told me to start the Vitamins when I'm two weeks out which will be this weekend so hopefully that will give me a boost.

I'm very tearful and a bit fed up but I'm a cryer anyway!

Don't be fed up, this is the start of a whole new life. I know it's easy to say and I've had my moments but hang on in there, when the weight starts to come off you get spurred on. Try to banish the negatives and turn them into positives.

Keep posting, we'll help you as much as we can, we've all been there.

You remind me of myself a few weeks ago. I was so depressed. Crying all day and staying in my friend's bed regretting the surgery. She used to tell me that it's all mental and in my mind and I'm like this because I'm depressed but I didn't know how to fix that. Eventually, changing the place I'm in had cured it for me.

It will pass. You'll be fine. Walk as much as you can. It really does help.

Thanks ladies, I was warned that if go through a "what have I done" stage! I'm not at that stage and know that it's for the best, I want another baby and there's no way I would try at this weight.

I left home today at 10 am, went to university and stayed working until 6 then hung out with my friends than went to tesco and just came home around 10 pm.

Feeling very very very tired and exhausted with a terrible headache.

I know I didn't eat well today and didn't reach my Protein levels. So maybe that's why?

I wonder when will I be able to go out normally with my friends all day and have fun like normal people...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
