Hello folks,

Are any of you got operations coming up in the UK? As much as I value the US guys it would be good to get a sense of how other people are getting on here.

I'm having my bypass on 12th July, so the countdown really does feel like it's begun.

Cheers,

J

The day before me Geets, good luck. I'm finding the diet is fine, it makes you quite mindful about what you eat and I think that's a skill that will come in handy.

I'm in the UK (london). No pre op diet required I don't know why my bmi is 51. Op is in 4 days

I think the pre op diet is sensible as it puts us in mind mentally for the next stage of our journey. From the beginning when we decide to have gastric surgery,through to surgeon,dietician,nurse,consults every stage is part of our journey to prepare us for our new life. But hey after you have the surgery you're going to be in the new mode and will make adjustments as that is the only way to be. We all have different journeys but the outcome is the same. Good Luck for your op

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
