Hi,
I've not been on the site for a long time. I don't know why I stopped coming on but I suppose I just wanted to go on my journey without measuring my success against others as I felt quite a...

Sorry you are feeling so sad....and what everyone has said before me is correct - it DOES get better! I had my op during a heat wave in the UK and regretted the op due to how uncomfortable it was...

Great news! Photo shows weight loss and definitely see a happier you smiling through! Well done xx

Well done!!! You had me laughing with the gym not being a pretty sight - I think that with every physical activity I do!! Great result xx

Great post! Congratulations on the emotional journey as well as the physical one you've been on! X

What an honest post and I agree you are being tough on yourself but I so admire your honesty. I had my sleeve in June - weighed myself daily until week 3 and have never been on the scales at home...

Hi deb, I just ate normal foods. I did have bread but toasted so wasn't as doughy. Dietician from spire was happy with this. Focus as always is protein with veg last to be eaten on plate. I've...

Well done x

Def vitamins cause unnaturally bright urine

Hi deb ..... I never even tried blending! I just thought it was no different to what soft food would be. I just watched no pasta but took sauces and mkney'n from lasagne as an example.
Give it...

Ima, I can't relate to your relationship with your mum but I do understand your upset and confusion with your emotions. I have told v few people and would be devastated if they told others. I would...

I read the title and was sooooo envious!!! Don't think I've ever envied someone bowel movements before lol.. I think your tummy is adapting and no harm testing with wee bits like you did - I did...

Deb, as ann2 said it sounds like week 3 stall. I don't know if you can do anything but I know that's when I stopped weighing myself and just focus on getting through the weeks. It can get you down...

Well done

Well done- glad recovery going well and weight loss is fab!! Xx

Good luck. Hope all goes well and just remember it's the start of a new chapter in your life x

Yes you can!!!! Lol.... It won't be long now... It was in my spires post op diet booklet.

HOWEVER - live in the moment lol - that delicacy is in another 2 weeks time lol xx

Great result!! Makes it all worthwhile x

I'm actually the opposite. I like when buffet because I can put a normal amount on plate and move around and pick at bits and it's not as obvious if go to a restaurant with no 'small plate' section...

I was able to swim in week 4. As long as incisions healed over no probs but do go gentle at first. You don't feel any pain while in the pool (it was only place that I actually didn't get nausea so...

Hi... More movement you do the more it disperses gas. I had no issue with this but i was told could last a week - but key is exercise (even just a tiny walk will help)..

Well done deb - I can't wait for your post when are sick of purée too lol. I can't face another lasagne or Macaroni cheese!! Looks like recovery going well and great weight loss.... Enjoy purée...

Hi... I get pain when drink water too fast. I don't get heartburn quickly after eating but I have drank (within the 30 min window) and boy does that come back up and bite me on the proverbial!!! I...

I don't think you are being a baby - I think you need to follow your own path on this journey. I really enjoy threads on this forum but many can make you doubt yourself or make you question your...

Hi.... I couldn't bear sitting for long until 3/4 weeks after surgery. It's funny because I experienced exact same pain and kept thinking I'd see wounds opening and then it wasn't even at that...
