Hi, I'm a bit further out than you.. nearly 14 weeks post op now and I am truly starting to realise what a massive thing we have just done.. and in a really GOOD way. I also went through the stage...

Hmm this thread is curious to me. I specifically asked my bariatric dietician about this as I told her I want to lose weight not become a nun. I work in entertainment and having the occasional...

I ate my meal too quickly this evening for the first time (9 days post op) and I have been in a lot of discomfort since then. I probably had 1 or 2 spoons more of dinner than I should have.. I...

I'm being admitted tonight into hospital as it's a long drive from where I live and I'm first on the list in the morning for my sleeve surgery! Very excited but nerves are beginning to hit now. ...

I'm on a Day 6 of a 7 day Milk diet.. all I'm allowed is 4 pints of semi-skimmed milk a day. I'm not getting through it all as it's so creamy and makes me a feel a bit nauseous. Right now I can...

Hi I am wondering about water as I have read that lots of post-op sleevers struggle to drink regular water. Can anyone tell me does this last 2 or 3 months out? It's just I'm a singer and I really...

I had an operation 6 years ago and it kinda mentally scarred my kids, they absolutely hated seeing me in the hospital wired up to machines and with canulas in my arms etc. This time my husband and I...

Kitreena, you have succeeded in terrifying me! Surgery date in 2 weeks.

Wow Niamh your weightloss is amazing! I'm so excited for results like yours although don't expect to get those results so quickly as I have PCOS and hyperthyroidism. I lost 10 st 7 yrs ago with...

Yeah that's the bit I'm worried about Julie, I do so love food and the smell of something cooking is going to be hard to deal with I suppose! Well here's hoping my priorities change but I've still...

Hey Emma, absolutely! Let's stay in touch.. have you been given a pre-op diet yet? I've got an appointment with the dietician and need to start the milk diet for a week before surgery. Here's...

Hi Julie congrats on the surgery though I would love to weigh your starting weight :) I'm sure you will get the results you want though as you haven't got too much to lose. How have you found the...

I feel exactly the same way! Thank you for voicing my fears too but I'm going ahead as I can't bear staying like this much longer!

Oh and I've been to a sports physio who is treating me regularly who told me to definitely rest it although still walk around and do exercises lying down with weights.. hmm ok!

Thank you everyone, I love to exercise and can't wait to return to it but my knee is in such a bad way at the moment I'm worried that weight bearing stuff that I like doing is out the question for...

Beer I am definitely going to miss an ice cold beer on a warm day

I have really hurt my knee ironically at a Rosemary Conley diet and fitness class. I can walk gently but until the fluid on my knee and the pain subsides I'm not able to do as much exercise as I...

OK tonight we've been invited for dinner at another couple's house who we are very close to, our kids are all friends, we adopted them all around the same time (I couldn't have kids due to my...

Scheduled for surgery late May and not told anyone. Been inundated with invites from friends lately and every single one has been meal invites either out or to their house. Wondering hoe I'm going to...

I'm having my op privately on 21st May with Shaw Somers I'm really excited but worried about the eating and drinking post op as I'm vegetarian and hoping I can get the protein in ok. I have to do a...

I would really like a buddy my date is 21st May and it would be great to compare with someone going through this at the same time?

Got my date this morning, May 21st. Feels like a long time away but had to fit in some important gigs but this is it now, no turning back! *gulp* I have to go on a milk pre-op diet for 2 weeks...
