    Its been quiet on here!

    Hi Bos Thanks for asking. Had my surgery July 8th and have lost over 25 pounds. Started with 197. Feeling good. Yesterday I operate. Didn't feel sick but I can feel my pouch hurting a little. So I to learn to pace myself. Feel good and started walking! How about yourself?
  2. Hi cazza glad your doing well. In the states we are put on a very strict diet to ensure the stomach doesn't loosen up to fast. I also wasn't able to eat my first solid till this past Sunday. Before that I tried and felt horrific. Also was told that anything carbonated or bubbly in a drink can make one feel sick to. Try it before the wedding so you don't feel sick during.

    Also since I was a low bmi I didn't have a post op diet.

    Hi! The therapist appt is more like a evaluation. I don't believe it hinders your qualification but it is mandatory at least in the states. Up until the surgery it's nerve recking with the excitement and fear and the first week of surgery is the hardest. After the first week is over everything falls in place slowly. I agree with the comment above that you do feel weak. The lack of food made me tired but as I shed the weight I also started gaining the energy back. Other then that I don't have any regrets and you'll also be fine. Please feel free to ask any questions

    I'm starting my regular food starting tomorrow. I didn't purée any thing in the purée stage. Just had a lot of soup and soft stuff that I chewed to death lol. Don't know how my body will react to regular foods now or how often ill be able to eat.

    Congratulations!!!!!!!! 156 would be a dream come true for me! Way to go ! Can I ask you what you started your weight with. Also thanks for the advice. I had my first egg this morning with spinach and cheese. Ate two bites chewed and chewed and that was it for me. So my left shoulder starts to hurt every time I eat. I called a specialist on it and they said its normal. It's my body sign your full. Strange right??? Going to have some yogurt for lunch and some Soup for dinner. These days I'm so busy and tired I don't have the time or energy To eat and haven't had a Protein shake in so many days too. Once again a big congrats!!!!!!

    I feel good!! How about you? They have me doing every stage for two weeks each so next week I start the purée food! I'm excited just to chew lol. Do you feel your self getting hungry often? I'm getting hungry more often but all I really want to do is chug a water bottle down so bad. Also what did you eat at the second stage? The doctor said anything that comes out of a blender basically.

    6 days to go!

    lol you'll be fine and I think your positive energy and excitement for losing the weight will make it even more easier. You won't be having a cup of anything anytime soon. They will provide a plate with protein and clear soon and give you tiny cups to measure everything you eat. It's in the MLs. Also the first week for some isn't the easiest but its also true what everyone here says. It does get better and then you'll have that tea )! How long do you get to stay there after your surgery?
