Hiya, I had mine done 4 weeks ago tomorrow and don't regret it one bit. I was advised to wait a minimum of 12 months after my sleeve to let my weight stabalise but due to work etc it ended up being...

Hiya

To stop my weight loss I've had to do things like use the full fat version of everything (cheese, milk, yoghurts etc) and make food more calorie dense. A spoonful of chocolate powder in a...

Congratulations, you've done really well so far. It's great when you can get back to work and realise how easy it is to integrate this new way of life into your usua day-to-day life. Keep up the good...

I was sore for 4-6 weeks, just felt really bruised and bashed about. I think we're all different so I wouldn't worry as long a simple pain killers sort it out or it goes on too long. Hope things...

Hiya

Yes I have gone through a patch of this and there's no real explanation other than your body trying to keep up with all the changes going on and rebalance blood sugar etc. Mine passed after...

Everyone does things at different rates, I was on liquids for a month before I could accept any sloppy or lumpy stuff and even now have problems with some dry food like bread or potatoes, unless...

Hello there, I have now finished the weight loss part of my journey and am now doing amintenance but I would not have done it without this site so keep checking in and let us know how things go. All...

Yes take measurements regularly. Even on weeks when you loose nothing you'll find that you loose inches

a teaspoon of linseed each day works too

The drinking does get easier as time goes on, I can now drink a whole glass with no problem every hour or so

From day 2 I was on soup, squosh, fruit juice, protein shakes, anything at all as long as it was liquid and lump free. Just make sure you have plenty of things which are simple and quick to make as...

Looking good, keep it up

Brilliant news, well done. Feels great doesn't it!

Today being Sunday I got up and did my usual weigh in to find I've lost that final annoying lb and have now reached target.;);) I'm over the moon.

Oooooooh I love the sound of that shake, I'll have to try it! Thanks all I'll see if my GP can prescribe Miralax

Every Sunday now although it was daily when the weight was falling off, I'm loosing about 1/4lb a week now so no point trying to track it too much

Once you are on to proper food you soon return to 'normal' although you might struggle with some foods for a long time. I'm 6 months post-op and still struggle with dry food such as biscuits, bread,...

Hi, as everyone says its totally normal, you will feel unwell for about 4 weeks (sorry) but gradually improve as time goes on if you see what I mean. Its just the body adjusting to the shock and the...

That's fabulous news, really well done:D:D

Hi

I'm suffering from bad constipation which seems to be getting worse as time goes on. I'm trying to drink, eat fruit and veg etc while keeping the protein up but I just cant eat enough any...

Hi All,

After a cesaerean, hysterectomy and weight loss I def need a tummy tuck. Anyone had one? How was it? How long before you could go back to work? Any info much appreciated

Well done you, you are an inspiration to others, congratulations

Chips with melted cheese on top are fab and as you can eatso little, as an occasional treat it wont hurt :-)
