Hi all, it's tough at the beginning - but really, don't worry - it WILL come off. It can be frustrating I know but at the moment you should purely be concentrating on getting your liquids in and some...
Don't worry at all, most of us have been there wondering why on earth we had the surgery, the first 3 weeks were the worst for me, but then it was like someone flipped the switch. I was able to eat...
Its just the about you drink and trying to find one thats not fizzy. I drink French Martinis now - OMG they are lush, but literally 2 and its gone straight to my head, plus its pineapple and...
Hi I'm hypo as well, I'd speak with your Dr and ask them to let you feel what your medication level should be, I was on 200mg before the op, then went up to 250mg after the op and 8months out came...
mmm, not sure what else you would call pate - its like a spreadable ground meat? like a parfait.
Sometimes you just need to buy a few things you think might work - try them, if they don't work feed...
Hi, just keeps taking small sips all day. Experiment a bit to find something you like the taste of, At the beginning I was ice cold fresh orange juice - all I wanted to drink (can't stand it now!)...
Hi Jamie, it does get better and easier I promise. I totally understand how difficult you're finding it to eat, its really hard to eat at the beginning. You just don't feel like it or want to. Try...
I just had my final appt with my consultant this evening and he said its quite normal to loose a lot in the first 9/10months then plateau for 6months or so then you loose again. - so thats good news....
I'm in Vegas in October after my trek in the canyon I'm doing for charity. So.....if anyone is thinking about planning another one for October, I'm there!! So sorry to miss this one.
Hi, your sleeve will only stop you because it so small you won't be able to eat much. But on the upside they do remove the hormone that makes you feel hungry - actual hunger not hunger in your mind -...
Hi Agelessongbird.
First.......deep breath, relax. You'll be absolutely fine. I'm just over a year out now and have my sign off from the hospital next week.
There isn't anything I can't eat now,...
So I'm a year out, feeling great, have lost over 130lb. Stopped loosing weight just before Christmas and have stayed static since then. But I'm quite happy, have gone from a dress size 24 down to a...
Do Not worry too much about protein in your first 2 weeks post op. Its your liquids you need to concentrate on - not protein. Week 3 is when you should start really looking at adding in the protein. ...
try changing over to higher fat foods. I'm 6 months out and have definitely slowed down. But if I make a real effort to eat high fat, high calorie foods (along with exercising and drinking) I will...

Perhaps HH and Deelite should just drop it and move on. We all have our own stories and our own points of views. But this is a support site and not a slanging match site.
Noha, I hope all the...
My only advice would be, relax, enjoy what the sleeve is helping you achieve, don't compare yourself to anyone else on here - everyone is on their own journey and we all loose at our own speed - and...
I don't really have any secrets, I don't weigh my food, I don't dink protein drinks, - I just eat when I know my stomach is empty and I try to eat things that are protein high, but if there not, then...
Wow, that sneaked up on me!! I've been really good recently and have only been weighing myself every couple of weeks. As of today I'm 100lb lighter!! Loving the new me, have dropped 4 dress sizes and...
I think with everything with the sleeve listen to your body - have 1 drink and see how you get on, if you're ok then great, if not, wait another few weeks. But it is so true about the 1 drink - wow,...
I'd steer clear of bread - it just fills you up too much and leaves no room for the protein.
My nutritionist has said its at its worst 3-6 months - I hit 6 months in a couple of weeks so I'm hoping as of the 3rd Sept I'll wake up and it will all be back!! haha!!
I take 5000mg biotin, 200mg...
Salads don't make me sick - but I have definitely cut down as you need to concentrate on getting protein in first, so cards, fruit, veggies all take a back seat.
