I am an eight months post op gastric sleeve patient in the UK.

I have had every complication going and unfortunately, have had limited support from my NHS bariatric team.

So I have been learned alone how to manage my post op care, Vitamins and diet.

Someone here recommended Dr Weiner's youtube videos so I watched every one of them.

His advice has been fantastic. The video explaining how and why we lose so much weight in the initial post op period, then hit that wall around the nine month mark, was such a revelation.

I have bought his book, a plan that he recommends to everyone who wants to lose weight, but very helpful to WLS patients.

The plan is so different than my bariatric plan but so much better.

I have to follow a low fodmap diet, plus a wls diet, so was really struggling to find a diet plan that suited me.

I live alone so don't like to cook as I have no one else to feed but this book has me excited about my next year in this process.

I have also bought a fitbit which has also been so encouraging for me. It means that I can track everything so I can keep to my diet and exercise program.

I am quite housebound with a disability so the positive information from Dr Weiner and the data that the fitbit gives me has helped so much.

Dr Weiner will do skype consultations. For people like me who are doing all of this alone without support, his videos and diet information are a God send.
