@@BandedBecks I had a mini gastric bypass 3 weeks ago. It was a rough couple of days to start with but I seem almost normal now. I am onto baby food consistency foods now. I am realising it is a rather long time since I was a baby!!!!!

@@bluey, thats good to hear youre almost feeling normal. Where abouts are you from? I would say your surgery is a lot more complicated than just a LAP band, like I had... Are you back at work?

@@BandedBecks I'm on the English South coast, near Southampton. I have been back at work for a week and to be honest, it was time to go back - I was just too bored at home!
I was looking at the lap band at the time but was told they dont recommend it anymore due to high failure rates. I really hope yours turns out to be all you wish for!

How much are you looking to lose? :)

Failure :-/ that doesnt sound promising lol Im hoping to loose 35kgs about 80 pounds. I went for it as it was the most reversable option if it didnt work out :-)

How was your day today? X

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Had to eat out for lunch as I was at the hospital with my son for a check. I ate baked potato with tuna Mayonnaise and it went down surprisingly well (well half of it at least).

Then today a big turn. Felt so so ill after drinking coffee. Spent an hour spewing bitter stuff. Yeuch!!! Just about over it now and sipping some clear chicken broth. Guess I might have to consider giving up coffee

I have a few friends who had great success with the lapband and seeing that you're not looking to lose a massive amount of weight, it might well be the perfect solution for you!

My surgery was suggested by my surgeon. I thought I would most likely have a sleeve but the surgeon suggested the mini bypass. We shall see....

How do you feel you are healing and all that? x

Morning :-)

I am feeling so much better today than in past days. I over did it yesterday though and tested my will power. The bf had his tribe of mates over for a bbq lunch. In which I made all the salads for and didnt snack out once on any of it. Then had a bbq tea at his aunts, which I also survived. I took a bowel of Soup, as thats all im eating at the moment.

I think I am starting to realise it is definately all about being prepared and not putting yourself in situations where you are left feeling forced to eating back to bad habbits.

Oh no not coffee :-o ive read that coffee is hard to stomach at the begining. Luckily Im not a big coffee fan so its not as big of a deal for me.

How are you today? X

Well done on the willpower!!! It is so so hard!

Although I am never hungry I do still get cravings and as much as I like soup, it is not something I want to eat for every meal. So I am glad I am now onto a bit more real food.

I am on my 6th day of life without coffee and it's getting better. The headaches are starting to ease off and thankfully I have not been sick since I stopped the coffee.

How are things going for you now?

Hi @nataliehogg01

I lost a stone on the pre op. My surgeon was surprised I'd lost so much so I am sure your 8 lbs are likely typical. I think the most important thing is that you stayed off the carbs.

Just a few days to go! Glad I have mine behind me :)

      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!!
