Yes I've heard of people putting the weight back on I asked wow did there stomach stretch somehow and no it was eating all day long it all adds up tonight for tea I had some lamb backstrap very tender and some mashed potatoe I'm staying away from Carbs mostly as they are an addiction for me but I needed something other than meat I'm now trying to drink my 1.5 litre of Water yuck I've ordered some of the Isopure Rtd drinks they gave 40 grams of Protein per drink and they are suger free but cordial based so maybe that will help me get my protein in.

I make a one egg omelette with some cheese chives and baby tomatoes Or a boiled egg grab and go A yogurt A Protein bar if in a rush Baked Beans I'm not keen on the Protein shakes either They are so easy but they make me gag. Sent from my iPhone

Thanks everyone the only flavour I can get in NZ is passion fruit and fruit punch so I give them a go I think. Sent from my iPhone

I'm sure it would be fine the variety of food is huge you can easily adapt your hotel will have great Breakfast options to get your Protein in. Maybe take some Protein powder in sachets and bars just as a back up incase you get caught short. Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok is amazing I myself have had surgery there not sleeve surgery but cosmetic surgery it has some of the best doctors and specialists all American board certified so any issues just go there. I would test the waters with rice if you plan to re incorporate it back to your diet before you eat it in Bangkok I've read a few people have issues with it take all your acid/reflux pills with you as there pharmacies are hard to communicate with at times.

Hi kiwi jet happy first day back at work today. Wow that's an amazing weight loss so far things have been pretty slow for me in that department. Eating slow is so hard I was in a rush the other morning and ate my omelette to fast I felt sick and sore had the worst burps and my sleeve played up all day. I ate last night almost a full chicken leg so drum and thigh I was surprised I was darn full. I've started eating Protein bars too I go back to normal food tomorrow but my diet has pretty much been normal since I went onto soft foods. I find the eating and waiting to drink vice versa the most frustrating thing about this process so far. I have not eaten any slider foods yet I've looked at the crackers a few times I did eat a couple of cashews the other day also went to a 1st bday party and managed to avoid the cake and brownie luckily they cooked a hot ham it was so yummy so I had a couple of pieces of that and some cheese. I hope you have a wonderful day back at work today let us know how it goes Sent from my iPhone

My NUT and surgeon both said coffee is fine started coffee day 3 once I got home I have one every morning it's my one thing I love it's like a treat. I assumed after reading this forum pre Opp coffee was over for me then the day of surgery I asked my surgeon boy was I relieved. I was literally placing my Nespresso order waiting for the nurses to come get me for my Opp. Sent from my iPhone

Betty54 At first it hurt to eat purée for me too make sure you are going slow wait between spoons and maybe try less at a time I found yogurt hurt less and has good Protein I'm on soft foods next stage past purée for me and I tried some roast lamb tonight with gravy that hurt going down I think as you ease into each stage there may be some discomfort and I've read others say go back to your last stage for a few days then try again.

Yes very true demonchick The long term benefits of surgery will mean it will cost less for your ongoing medical expenses in the future I get why you would want to choose your surgeon and hospital I did too I have rheumatoid and I didn't want to see myself obese with diabetes and other serious health issues in my old age I have difficulty being active especially with winter coming it gets worse part of the reason I ended up here was through steroids to treat my arthritis I put on so much weight with them and couldn't get it off I was never a big person it's like steroids changed my metabolism. I'd say that if they paid out about 12k for your surgery and you 5k then the operation etc is around the same price there as it is here. Sent from my iPhone

Wow so different in every country. My surgeon does private and public surgery you still have to fit within guidelines to get the surgery bmi has to be a certain level and have other health concerns related to obesity affecting your daily life some people in NZ get the surgery free but as I said it's a long waitlist. I decided that I'd pay for it as it was the one thing in my life I was unhappy about and I could change it it's only money rite can't put a price on health and happiness. Sent from my iPhone

Wow cheap omg were you self pay? I could of flown to Mexico had it done had a holiday and had some decent change My surgery cost me as I was a self pay $19,700 but with all the consultations etc over 20k in NZ private insurance doesn't generally cover things like that I have private health insurance and to go on the public waiting list takes years and I would of had to have been bigger to qualify.

Kiwijet It will just be the 3 week dreaded stall I went about 12 days and the scale didn't budge it will get better slow and steady wins the race. Sometimes I get sad when I think about certain foods I love and won't be eating again I think it's normal are you looking forward to going back to work? Sent from my iPhone
