I eat an avocado just about every day and have done since week four post op (though back then I struggled to eat half of one). I have had no bad effects at all but of course everyone is different. ...

Hi and a very big welcome to the forum. I wish you all the greatest of success and life improvement that will come to you after sleeve surgery. Please don't be afraid of "hateful" remarks because...

Welcome to the forum and good luck for March 24, I'm sure everything will go well for you.

I haven't seen a post from Katrina lately. Does anyone know how she and her family (especially her daughter) are doing?

How good is that. Yay you!!!!

Thank you everyone for showing me so clearly that I am not the only one experiencing this. Too many of my days right now are spent almost non stop grazing all day. I'm now 2yeaqrs out and have...

This thread was originally posted way back in 2014 when Argos was 5 weeks out. I would love to hear how she is doing now. I was sleeved in March 2014 and these days I am very happy that I did it...

I miss not being able to drink and eat at the same time.
I don't miss taking fright every time I see a staircase that I have to climb or a hill to walk up.

I hated the whole hair loss thing even the difference when it grew back curly, but so many people have complemented me on my"new" hair that I am starting to really like it.

So very sorry to hear your bad news. However, it is said that all things happen for a reason so I am sure that you'll know one day what went wrong and probably be glad of it. The very best of luck...

I drink right up to the time I start eating but rarely drink for at least half an hour after eating. It is easy for me to wait the half hour after my meal because usually I am feeling quite full and...

I've been on blood thinners for many years. In all the excitement in the lead up to the op, I forgot to stop taking them for a few days before surgery. My doctor didn't seem too perturbed by this...

I know exactly what you mean and I miss all those things too. Having said that I wouldn't go back even if I could.

Welcome to the forum. Usually we are a pretty friendly bunch.

Thanks kindle, I agree that it is nice to be able to eat some salad or fruit/veg and I can't for the life of me see why she told me not to use protein powder. I'll carry on doing what I'm doing and...

At long last I have made it to 80gms of protein a day. In desperation I started putting a scoop of protein powder into my morning yoghurt. This has given me the vital 20gms of protein that I was...

I am so glad that you posted these pictures Lora. I have always thought what a pretty lady you are and could never envisage you as being obese. You said so many things in your post that I agree...

I still think you should update your "Marilyn" picture to your own.
May she rest in peace, but I don't think she would have had anything on you if she would have lived to be your age (not that...

Good luck, please keep us posted.

You have had some good advice here Jessie, please consider acting upon it most especially the last post from plp55. And if its any consolation, you are going to be the best off after all this is...

Welcome to the forum and the very best of luck to you and to your husband as well. There are certainly a few things that will change in your life, I understand that very well as like you, I like to...

I'm a sneezer.

<<<<<<<My main side effects from taking a higher level of thyroid replacement hormone are difficulty falling asleep and difficulty staying asleep for a sustained period of time.>>>>>>>

I find this...

My hair thinned out quite a bit from about 7 months out if memory serves me correctly. It's all come back now (it was my first year out yesterday) but it has grown back differently. At the back it...

I know what you mean. Now I even have trouble finding a size on the rack that isn't too big for me. Never thought I would see the day.
