@EllisM80 PHEW I was becoming worried the surgery had failed and I would fail yadda yadda.

Seems like I'm going to need to explore a wider variety of laxatives!
I'm on lansoprazole 30mg but I...

I did many years ago but you're right. I'll find some space to be able to have an outlet like that!

Hi guys,
I've put this on my journey page but struggling at the moment. Life is all over the place with moving houses (my stuff is between 4 houses) and finishing university then moving on to be a...

Struggling today. My physical appetite occurs very strongly when I haven't eaten for 3 hours. And my mental appetite comes and goes but when it comes I find myself pushing past fullness. What are the...

I think I'm getting more impatient now. And becoming worried about messing up as I do find myself becoming hungry! It's resolved by 1 bite but I guess it feels like I'm failing even though I'm still...

Things are still going well! I was lucky to be able to have 3 weeks off to recover. Back at work now and building up my exercise tolerance as I'm on my feet all day.

Having a stall so I haven't...

It's all going well! Back to my normal activities and everything. I keep giving myself larger portions of soup etc than I can manage even with small bowls! A learning curve for sure. How about you?

It's going well! Im finding myself with sooo much more free time and mental space that doesn't involve food! It's such a relief. Challenging still but loving it! You?

Show that skin ;)
I plan on getting work trousers as needed from charity shops but I'm going to try to hold off for as long as I can.... Ill break easily no doubt haha!

Day 11:

SW: 205lbs
CW: 190lbs
Feeling back to normal! Less appetite :cool: Weight loss so far is really exciting.

My only problem is drinking the forceval multivitamin and mineral drink... it...

When your stomach is full, it pushes next to the diaphragm a bit more which can cause it to twitch leading to hiccups! Very useful sign to have!

Day 9 myself and it gets easier! If you have a moment of crying, that is perfectly normal ����

Awesome job! I've got no pain that paracetamol can't solve :)

SW: 205
CW: 199

Definitely, it's hard being completely dependent for a bit and to not be able to chug water down. It's slowly getting easier. You'll be fine! Just expect a struggle and anything...

SW: 205 (22/04/19)
CW: 202 (25/04/19)

Day 3 and dobby is a free elffff.

I'm so glad I stayed in hospital for 2 nights because I wasn't sure I'd be able to get enough fluid in but it meant I...

Well as my BMI isn't high, I've decided to not do the pre-op.... i mean my dietician was like, 'you don't need to but might as well' so I'll just do it for a few days before to start to caffeine and...

Hello! I'm having surgery on the 23rd!

Thank you!

I see that we are having our surgeries close together! I hope yours goes well. When do you start your preop diet? I start on the 17th.

I've got it in my head that I'm just not going...

My surgery is 23rd of April and I feel the exact same way. Starting slim fast shakes on 16th. I most afraid of it just not working and just not losing weight and it all being for nothing.... i mean...

I saw my GP today and she OK'd it! I've been seeing her for the past 4 years throughout all my struggles and was worried she would say no! As I had been honest to the surgeon, it's ultimately his...

Thank you - I really appreciate the support! He's pretty good at that already luckily.

I think I'm still naive about how much mental work I will need to do. Unfortunately I'm kinda of having a...

Hi guys! I'm 24 from the UK.

Disordered eating has been a big part of my life so far. I'm lucky enough to have money to be able to go privately for a gastric sleeve which I'd rather do sooner...
