Even talking tired me out... hubby thought it was great, I don't think I have ever been so quiet lol ! He's been through a huge operation and now on minimum calories. Rest and sip sip sip, then walk walk walk, sip sip sip. Also the tube they put down my throat made me cough a lot and id be breathless from that too. It should get easier soon ☺ Congratulations on the surgery and speedy recovery !

@@byebyefat I have gone from.a 44DD to a 38D and I am only 10 weeks out. I would love to be a 34C.

, if you don't mind me asking, how much did ur boobies go down? I Hope mine go down to a 36/38D , I'm currently a 42dd

Face arms and boobs..

Well done !

I'm 10 weeks out now and my weekday is usually like this ... Breakfast My Protein hot latte in 20oz Water. lunch is fish/meat with veg/salad Afternoon I have a protein drink in 4 oz water. dinner meat/fish with veg 30 minutes before bed I have a slow release protein drink which isn't my fave but it's doing the job! Kate

I have avoided carbs too and try to stick to under 20 a day.. Sometimes I manage under 10. I do carb cycling at weekends and try to stick to under 50. It works for me ????

Congratulations on the surgery. You sound as if you have it in the bag so well done on that... wishing you a speedy recovery ????

So sorry to hear that and hope it doesn't happen again! I bet it was a scare for everyone. Good to hear you are fine now. Take care of yourself ☺

Congratulations Tina... ☺

Best wishes to all of you having surgery in October and speedy recovery! Kate

I am not sure if this helps as I didn't have the issues before. I haven't had either issue afterwards although I have been very constipated and thats a pain in the arse Congratulations on your surgery date!!

Congratulations, you look amazing. Just look what a year CAN do

I loved having a little bit of a GasX strip. The intense taste kept my mouth sweet for quite a while after @@mouse1972rb Congrats on the surgery and wishing you a very speedy recovery !! Kate

Best item you can buy is a good set of scales. I also bought lots of little containers which hold 3oz portions/5 oz portions which I still use now, both in and out of the house. I bought pretty little china plates, the size of side plates for home, nice small cups for the odd cup of tea/coffee I have and 20oz Fluid beakers. One of the best things I got, was deep set ice cube trays. They have been a blessing! I didn't want to use plastic baby cutlery, so hunted down a nice kids size cutlery set with knives which actually cut thicker items of food, such as meat. I have to admit, shopping for things for post op kept me busy during the weeks leading up to surgery and kept the excitement up! Kate

Wow congratulations on the weight loss!!

New day, new start. It's great that we can do that

Welcome @brandylc. This is a great site to learn from and join in, make friends and get support. My downfall was wine, I used to love one glass every night (more at the weekends) especially with a meal. I haven't missed it at all and haven't craved it. I have to be honest and say I have found it difficult not drinking fluids with a meal. I think thats a habit I have had forever but it is getting easier. Kate

I took 4 weeks off then went back to work full time.. to a stressful job. I wish I had stayed off six due to the exhaustion I had. ????

Congratulations... Such an exciting time!!!

So sorry to hear that it didn't go ahead BUT so revealed it didn't, considering the issues. You have a good surgeon there!! Good luck for your future surgery and speedy recovery

What did your NUT say about what you should have the day before. You need to follow what they say, as everyone here will have been told different things by their own NUT. Congratulations on your surgery date and speedy recovery!!

It’s normal to be nervous before the surgery, I think we all go through the questioning in our heads. Is this right for me? Will it be painful? How am I going to cope with so little food in the first few months? And on and on. However we all get through it and I can honestly say that it’s been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Believe in yourself and your inner strength, you CAN do it.

I did the same as Krista and used to constantly sip Protein powder mixed with about 20 oz. of Water. I used milk chocolate and it just tasted like a thinner version of a milk shake. Hydration and protein all in one! They did take me hours to drink though. Hope you feel better soon
