LOL mine was blue and so so FOUL. I am not feeling full but I am not feeling hungry, I was actually sick earlier I tried a soup that had bits in it and was enjoying the taste so I was eating it quickly. I'm happy its done but I do think I may loose to much, I haven't gotten on the scale yet, I will at 10 days post. All the best with your Endoscopy I don't even remember mine!! and all the best for your OP!

Recovery has been pretty easy, I'm 5 days post op, I was sleeved 16th oct, I went to work on the 20th. I got my flight home, I can bend and this morning I was moving exercise equipment Hard- gauging how much to sip/drink, like you are thirsty so you take a mouthful, swallow and realise that was not what you are supposed to do. Hard- also that drink they make u do for the leak test WOW so nasty

ASAP if its that serious for a thanksgiving dinner and Christmas lunch, we can just do an early one I was so over being fat

In my culture to be called fat is a description (I am African) once upon a time being called fat is a compliment, in my culture too I don't think you should feel uncomfortable its the same *to me* as describing someone as black, or short.. e.g Adele is a short, fat white woman with a great voice. Fat joke is a bit different, but again i'd view it as a short joke

i really like whey that doesn't take like whey!! I get it from bulk.com, https://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/pure-whey-protein.html actually delicious

LOL this is all i ever want to tell people that ask why 'light weights' get WLS too

Hi all I was wondering if there was anyone who has had the gastric sleeve at BMI of approximately 29 to 30. I'm asking because I currently have a BMI of 29.5-9. Currently weigh196lbs I'm down from 230lbs. I just had a consultation with a doctor who really tried to sell me lipo instead. I clearly look like a gym gooer ( i run 10ks and half marathons for fun). Just that number on the scale is **** and high blood pressure runs in my family. I've maintained about 190- 200 for the past four years when I first started my weight loss journey I was able to get to 170. However that was eating next to nothing. for the past year or so and really struggled to maintain my weight and this is with gym five days a week and 1000-1600 calories a day. Im over it all. Anyway, he stressed that I would really suffer health wise and kept on stressing the importance of vitamins for 12months+, vomitting etc etc and then closed with he thought it was ethically wrong for him to give me the vertical sleeve and probably shouldve had it at 230. Now I really do appreciate his honesty and I have seen how the surgery has been a success for many people but I really would like to hear back from lightweights. how are you finding it? are you too light now? do you regret it? thank you

the above is one of your posts, i was reading a few threads and your response to the guy REALLY threw me off, to the point i remember it! so this is the kind of thing she means about negativity, you could have just not replied the guy. anyway

the day before! 16th

Thank you

try easy to freeze items such as chicken, fish, prawns, i like tinned marcrel. veggies, broccoli, cucumber- frozen spinach if you must these will be my go toos and protien drinks if you want to buy fresh only buy what you will eat that day, so if there are leftovers you can eat them the next day without isues

There is a group on facebook - search gastric sleeve UK the one with review i think ave about 6k members

Im travelling alone! on the monlth count down now!! i wont be telling anyone, I was approved in Latvia Riga, and these places: TSG is 3750 GBP- they gave me a list of numbers of UK patients, to contact to ask about reivews, a few people replied with really good things to say. one said no gloves where worn and that you will need google translate/ to gesture, thats fine lol i didnt even expect any english to be honest. i think ill be going with TSG as they seem the most open, and i have a BMI of 29.5-30 and they had no issues. it was 35 but i am struggling to keep my weight down. IMRET in turkey also, 4800 USD Akdeniz Sifa Hospital 3500£ i also looked at Egypt for a doctor who does do visible incisions, he would not approve me based on my BMI - he was around £3k all in maybe 3.2k after flights Good luck!!

what hospitals are u looking at? im booked at TSG and provisionally at another. are you in the UK/

im going october 16th u?

Im going to turkey Bmi is 30 and i live in the uk If your bmi is 35ish try prauge, riga and poland All around the 4k£ mark

Im pre op and run often You should be hust fine on the protien and banana. how did you trainto hydrate? Also are you planning on running longer distances? if so how's it been going? I am I preferred distance is a half marathon.

Please share your experience if you have a low BMI i am aware of risk i wanted to know about experience I was approved by a different doctor. The doctor in the original post said the surgery would be easy for him it just didnt sit well with him ethically. He also said that my BMI I can expect to lose about 8 points and it would probably make me too slim I can't edit the original posted but I am after experiences only

Thank you so much for responding! I definitely think that 5 BMI points are worth it! I watch everything and if i didnt watch it id be back a 230lbs i 3 months. I have been hungry for so long i dont remember a time not being hungry i am stuggling to keep up the intense gym routine just to maintain. I've been overweight all my life and its a worry that I'm ready to put behind me the doctor that I spoke to you wasn't actually my doctor he he performs the surgery

Your friend Is hilarious
