Sooo been fighting Drs for 7 years for this op. On list, been going monthly for 18 months to hospital for weigh ins ( uk Nhs ) but now I'm defo having it I'm in a massive lull in appointments. Last weigh in was May. Had foot op that went very wrong so defo put on a little weight due to not being able to walk, plus no guilt of being weighed. Now gotta wait for physc/nurse and last dietation in October ! So another 2 months with no one to keep me on track. Then just the surgeon to see then date get set. I'm going crazy waiting!!!!!

Can you just blitz loads of fruit n beg to make smoothies n shakes etc? Only I'm sick on any type of Protein drinks. But LOVE all fruit n veg. I know I'll need Vitamins etc to top up. Wanted to look into a nutribulit ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok I Know the clear diet I've done that before for pancreatitis. Just after that period wondering How you feeling? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I get you can cheat and you sometimes gain a little after the Loss. But does it ever all go back on?!? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know it's a long term brain change I need. Just wondered how others got on. When I lost the weight before it's because I was not allowed to eat for 6 weeks. I have spent 7 years trying to get this op, so I'm not expecting it to do all the work for me. Just wondered if others put a lot back on, from not cheating. We all know that you can cheat it one way or another. We all know that we can drink a fat laiden diet to put it back on. Wanted to see others jurneys where like.

Thanks guys just wondered? It's been a great Responce. I lost a lot of weight before due to an illness but when I could eat again it all went back on again. What I ate changed just not the amount. So once surgery is done that should be sorted X Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I've been big all my adult life. I'm 31 and I've been with my husband 16 years and I've got a 3 year old son. I'm happy in my life except my weight obviously. I can't do a lot that I want to do due to my weight and limits on things I want to do. I.e paint balling, racing cars, climbing, snow boarding etc So post surgery there is a massive to do list! I'm not vein, I'm not expecting a miracle or anything but I am hoping after the recovery I have more energy. But will I stay the same me?!? Genuinely concerned !!!! This is my only worry post op?

I totally agree dub, just had one gut feeling that I wasn't sure about but I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel nervous and not having even been slim as an adult I wonder what skinny Laura is like?!? I know It won't change me as in my values etc etc but I've not met her yet in the mirror! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My husband is great but he's not got a lot to say about it. How are your partners feelings? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone done/tried new activities since they had surgery? Also I actually can't wait to be able to sit with my knees bent up against my chest again! Or other silly things like that. Anyone else had silly things that they can now do or are excited to be able to do? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the uk, now we do a milk prediet is this the same? As the Protein drinks here I CANT stomach I've vomitied on them all !! But I can do a clear/milk diet no probs. Why Protein shakes ? My hospital have not mentioned it at all, op due in a few months Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sooo I'm happy with myself except my weight obviously! I'm 31 I have been with my husband since I was 14, married for nearly 9 years and have a 3 year old son. Life is good I have a big list of things to do post op, run a charity event, get my drift licence, go rock climbing, paint balling etc etc But I'm worried this may change me as a person and I don't want it too!!!
