Hullo from Dubai // Intro



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone ,

My name is Ahmet . I live in Dubai.

Until end of university, even first 2 years of my work i used to have a good body. I dunno what happened but i found myself rapidly gaining weight afterwards .

Did diets.. Healthy eating. Gym. Even liposuction ( what a waste of money.. pff )

I had to go through all these ups and downs to finally decide on gastric sleeve surgery.

Its exactly my 7th days from the day of my surgery . I went in at 117.7 kg and now i am at 109.4 kg . My height is 178 cm .

I see the importance of sharing experiences so here i am. Hi everyone again and all the best to all of us

Welcome to the forums. This is the best decision you could have made and you have a wonderful healthier life to look forward to. I like your name. Mine is very similar (Rehmet). Good luck on your WLS journey and keep us posted with your progress.

Thanks a lot .

What a lovely name, Rehmet . I know “ rehmat “ means blessing in farsi language. I guess Rehmet should be the same.

About the WLS, i just wanna pass the 1st month and at least try to eat normal food.

Started walking etc which are all fine. But for some reason i feel i am hungry all the time :))

Hi....

where did u have your surgery ? I had it at Dr Gokhan , Al Zahra Hospital.

Walla i have been drinking and drinking only. Water water water . I am tired of it already. Lool . Had a juice today. But dunno how to get Soup . Normal meat soup or bone soup really sucks . Protein is ok but my dietition told me not to do it with Milk yet. So thats again with water in the mornings.... :(

thanks on the pureed food . I was thinking of buying baby food but your suggestion does soung yummy :) will definitely try .

Hi Dubai people! I'm also in Dubai right now. Headed back to Beirut in a few weeks. I also consumed a lot of lentil Soup in the past month. Really Lebanese food is ideal for the recovery period because there are lots of mushy healthy things.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
