Ossama El Maghraby

Heu Guys Today is my 1 month Surgeversary. I proudly lost 21.5 kgs which translates to almost 47 pounds! Its been a rough ride but i am enjoying it so far! If i have one piece of advice to anybody is just stick with the program and remember eat as much of the right foods as you can. It will bump up ur metabolism and get you to where you want to be. I still have 28kgs to lose but i know i will lose them. All thanks to my surgeon Dr Khaled Qatry in Alexandria, Egypt who is the kindest most compassionate kind and always concerned surgeon i have ever met. He never focuses on the small things but always makes sure the big picture is right Peace and Love Ozzie SW 164kg 19/4/2018 CW 143kg 19/5/2018

Hi Y'all I am supposed to start my pre-op diet this Friday and have been contemplating having a last big meal (Thinking of a 16oz steak, mash and gravy with hefty piece of garlic bread. I know this is wrong and beats the psychological prep, but I believe in going out with a bang! So did you get one and what was it? Cheers Ossama

JIM1967 you are my idol!

Thanks everybody for sharing your last glutton fest experience! Yesterday my wife cooked up some chicken tikka masala with some rice and gave me a huge bowl so I decided to test my eating method, so I got out the tiniest tea spoon and set the timer on my phone for one minute. So the idea was 1 spoonfull every minute.... half way through I was stuffed but like a good old future formerly fat bastard I carried on and polished off the entire bowl, the achievement is its the first time since we got together that I never went for seconds. Tonight is burger night, you see the problem is I own a gourmet burger store (next to the day job) and tonight will be the last big 10 oz juicy burger I will ever be able to finish in one sitting!

Totally agree parisshel. but I have to give food a big farewell! I start Friday so I guess tonight is steak night tomorrow is Pizza, Wednesday is Fried chicken and gravy and the big farewell is Fattah which is an Egyptian dish that my mom masters!

ROCK ON CAROLINAGIRL!!!

Terrydumont46 I guess I just want one lust gluttonfest before the band! kll724 I wish I had ur will power! alicesandra I am totally impressed by your weightloss and if boring food gets me there well count me in!

I think a nice hot and sour soup would do you well, it tastes great and would be very filling!

Hi All, I am a future bander from Alexandria, Egypt. I have set my operation date for March 1st 2014. I am so determined for this to work as I consider this my last chance. I am 29 and hope this will assist in shedding off the pounds quickly. Will keep you updated as we get closer! Cheers Oz

I remember I saw a WLS documentary where the Dr encouraged the patient to buy store made shepherds pie and liquidate it with some clear broth. The patient poured it into an ice tray and froze it. Whenever it was meal time he took one cube out and microwaved it. I don't know whether it was any good but he seemed to enjoy it, maybe shepherd's pie could be alternated with something else like tuna casserole or chicken pot pie

Thank you all for your lovely encouragement replies and I will be using you guys as my support network and will be there for you too! Leepers I live in Egypt and I will get the operation here, my Surgeon Dr Mohamed Sharaan has already banded a few of my friends and they have all has fantastic results THanks again y'all!
