Try halo extensions. The dont clip in or require glue.

How about jelly? Or yogurt drops frozen?

Hi both, I also had surgery on 17th! Looks like you're both doing well, I've lost 18lbs now but only 3lbs post op. Was hoping for a bit more but can see a massive difference in the mirror so am happy with that. I've not had a melt down yet but everyday is a learning curve and I also find it hard to get Water down! Good luck!

I still get bubbles and im 8 days out. I find it quite entertaining now although to begin with was painful and worrying.

That's excellent! I am against the bypass, I think it's a bit too extreme. Am thrilled I got the sleeve, I'm off to the doctors shortly to get my stitches out but so far so good! The first few days were uncomfortable but now I'm eating and drinking ok just very small portions. I've lost 15 1/2lbs since starting pre op and am pleased it is slow as I'm a low bmi patient and am worried about sagging. Hopefully they don't make you wait too long! If I could give you one bit of advise is to cut down meal portions about a week before starting pre op so you're not dying of starvation! Saying that though I was full from milk and yogurts and full of energy!

Each surgeon recommends something different. I was on milk and yogurts pre op but a friend of mine was on chicken and veg. Post op I'm on slim fast/ complan and home made Soups with more milk. I would wait to find out before investing. Good luck with your date. You're one of the Lucky ones to be NHS funded!

Hello, I'm from london, UK. I had my sleeve done 6 days ago. I paid private as NHS are useless! I've had very little pain and even went shopping yesterday. Best thing I have ever done. Please feel free to fire away with any questions. X

@@krisstep hi, I find the bubbling quite amusing now. The pain in throat has gone thankfully I assume it was from tubes down throat. I'm back at my own house now and went shopping yesterday. Only for an hour and even met a friend for tea! I feel great! I'm on liquids for 2 weeks so basically Protein shakes x2 then Soup x2 and milk x 3 a day all small quantities but I was told to get my 'food' in over Water atm. I get my clamps out tomorrow which will be a big relief! I am still very tired and have taken to an afternoon nap but is lovely. I'm not back at work until 5th jan so plenty of time to shake the tiredness off and start on solids. Have lost 15 1/2lbs since I started pre op and am pleased with that. I'm a low BMI patient and would rather loose slowly. Hope everybody else is well and Happy Christmas x

@@krisstep phew I thought it was me! I am having a hard time swallowing as well. Just at the back of my throat! At first I thought I had a tablet stuck but maybe it's to do with the anaesthetic?

The gas is so painful. I've managed to sleep through some of mine today. Hoping it's almost gone. I was crippled over earlier! I'm in the UK so we don't have gas x otherwise I would be straight on it.

Am in pain mainly from gas and tablets getting stuck in throT. Otherwise all ok. Just very very tired so sleeping a lot but also trying to get fluids in. Home tomorrow :-)

Mine is also today! was supposed to be yesterday! Feeling quite calm considering. Good luck! Hope all goes well x

So gutted got told yesterday my surgery was moved from today 16th December to 17th. Yes only moved by 1 day but I've syked myself up, I'd packed up my car and was just finishing work to drive up. Instead I've wasted a day of my annual leave and am on milk and yogurts for another day. Am so upset and so annoyed. I know it's only 1 day but it makes all the difference. I'd arranged for my mum to take me, she had taken the day off. Now she can't come with me and I have to travel alone a nervous wreck. Was supposed to be called back by my surgeon to explain but nothing. Will call again at 9am and hope I can have it today.

Wow very encouraging! I have my surgery in Tuesday and we have exactly the same HW and both same height! Can't wait for a decent shopping trip in 6 months time.
