Recommended Posts

Ah i think il go for another fill with fred even though i think il be in liverpool when hes here next cos it'l cost me a fortune to start changing to wls now and fred said he'd give me fill half price if i need another one so im not too worried yet il stick to liquids for as long as possible then see if i have any restriction when i start to eat again

Well you know yourself best chick!!! As long as your ok!!!

Surely if your on liquids too long though any restriction you got from your fill in brussels will go without you knowing????

Hi Everyone,

Not been on for a few days. It has taken ages to read all the messages, some funny mess, which gave me a smile.

Welcome to all the newcomers, congrats to all the peeps who have taken the big step of booking their op, brill news.

Well done to everyone who has losed. I am 9 days post op, all is well, the wind has gone, my stiches have been cut to the skin, and only a slight pain near the bigger scare, but nothing that I cant cope with. lol.

Tomoz I can start on the puree/mushy part of the diet. I may stop on the liquids part of the diet till the end of the week.

Please can any1 advice, how long do you have to wait b4 you can have a drink, meaning wine etc. lol

Thanks for all your adivce. Mandy x

Hi Devonpilgrim, I too was contacted by Tullia but she was soooo pushy, i went with Bridget instead. She then phoned me again and when i said i'd already booked with Bridget, she said 'well thanx for nothing' and hung up on me!! The cheek of the woman really annoyed me so my advice would be Bridget or directly through Dr Chris..........

Hey Flirty, How's things? Feeling gr8 now, 10lbs down and no pain anymore, finding it harder to drink Water than tea or Soup or yoghurt, how strange! When you off liquids? Have you weighed yourself yet? x

yes tullia was same with me. i had a million messages on my answerphone almost demanding that i phone her back. she was getting more and more angry souding in each message..and i only sent her one email enquiry, teling her i was interested in having a band and could she return my email with a price. but to send the enquiry you have to add your details inc phone. just stick to chris package or go with bridget at europesurgery..

Hey All

Hope your all having a nice weekend, I met up with the lovely Garry today...He was so nice and helpful ( send the £10 in the post G!) LOL

Freckles, sounds like you have real restriction, it is amazing, and brilliant! So happy you have it! :rolleyes2:

Timeisnow, and Homecare, girls, your op's are only a few days before mine, so i'm very excited to see how you get on and what your planning is pre-op. Im looking into the gym this week, as I'd like to start some exercise before I start some weight loss to try and avoid saggy skin syndrome!

Although, I have around 8 stone to lose, so that might not be possible....

Odge, Your a brave girl, no pain killers?! I hope i'm like that, although having two wisdom teeth out yesterday and screaming the dentist down made me think maybe my threshold isn't what I thought it was!:thumbup:

I thought of something I haven't noticed if anyone else has asked. Was anyone physically sick with the Anesthetic? I have a bad reaction to it and am often sick, which i don't think would be good after this type of op, Im wondering if there are any anti sickness drugs that I can take or get when Im there to stop that happening?

My bad, i had a drink the second night I was home, to numb the pain you know, purely medicinal lol.

If you can take it, enjoy it. Did anyone say you couldnt have alcohol?

My surgeon didnt tell me not to, so I thought I need one and I'm having one.

atm I am struggling trying to get an alcoholic drink down, but i am persevering fmtf2v.gif

Timeisnow yes I am staying at that hotel and I am sure they are an hour ahead of us. I was thinking of booking the early flight ie 7 am from Edinburgh but that meant I would have to be up at some mad hour to travel through from Glasgow, get the car parked and get case checked in. I would have liked to have seen some of Brussels also but I would rather arrive refreshed as I am sure I aint gonna sleep the night before the op. I also have been booked into the servisair airport lounge so wouldn't mind a couple of ( Sherries !!!!!) purely medicinal of course, to try and calm nerves. I think my other half thinks we are going away to enjoy ourselves. If only.

Penny, Gary is a wealth of knowledge and is so matter of fact about the op. He really put my mind at rest. J x

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
