Thanks CC , I think I’m not the only one who has discovered the delicate balance between chips & drink etc 😅 a chocolate frog & 2 sweet bikkies for desert (after the appropriate amount of time, of course) & no I probably do not drink regularly enough really , generally spend alot of evening’s getting through a litre & a half of protein water , after topping it up from my daytime efforts. Apart from my wheat bix >< 2 with milk this morning & 750ml mug of tea was my fluid intake till 3:30 ? I generally let the loo dictate whether my hydration is up to scratch or not😅

Thanks poss , & tec , dunno about depression, might just have 2 many k’s on the clock 😅 been hopping around 36 yrs , spose it’s got to take a toll . That is the main reason for the surgery , oh, that and 3 little grand daughters & 2 more cooking 👍 I am still under an endocrinologist, and his blood tests are fairly extensive . But, it’s a ways off , so, might be good to chuck a wedge in there. If I , per chance , Am talking to some Americans . I apologise for some occarisms’s that might have you scratching your head .

Hey Tec & summer thanks very much for the reply 👍 and the info . thought all that stuff I typed, just disappeared & had given up on it . That’s why it finish’s quite abruptly . Did I mention that I’m technologically elderly 😅. Will put a bit more effort into pre prep and having decent options waiting when the worms start biting . Had access to a dietician for six months ( at a cost) and while it was ok to ask questions & get feed back. The necessity petered out. Is tiredness a consequence & lack of motivation a thing ? I also have a bung knee , which doesn’t help , but mentally, I’m usually a lot better than I am ? Thanks again

Well, in fact it was a partial sleeve & a bypass but the drop arrow didn’t give the option ? I have been reading a bit and some people are suffering a few issues it would seem. I have just completed 12 months post surgery , have dropped approx 55-57 kegs . While this is fantastic , for someone on one leg , I am finding difficulty from a dietary perspective, I find it very difficult to stick to the 6 meals a day ? I rely, very heavily, on very expensive protein powder and milk coffee . Snacking is far too easy, and justifiable ( I tell myself) with the protein water . But flagging energy levels & muscle wastage are some issues. And, of course , a lot of old clothes , that are much to big 🙄. I have not vomited once , but came close on a few occasions. I avoid those situations like the plague . I am able to drink beer & quite often too much (it is discouraged I know , but it does add some normality) most of my indigestion is remedied by just drinking more water etc . Not to many antacids these days. All in all I’m pretty lucky I think . Get a shock when social media pokes up some old photos of me .
