Hi everyone, I am please to have found a U.K support site.

I was Sleeved on the 18th Aug 2011 and I think I am doing everything wrong after reading your stories.... I raidly got bored with blitzed food and have tried to add variety with my food. I am very social so eating out was a challenge on pureed food stuffs so I managed a childs portion of fish chips and peas the other day. admittedly i didn't eat the batter and sucked three chips and a fork full of peas but it was good!!!

The only down side I have found is I am back to work ( after 10 days sort of rest) and I find my right side seems to pull by the end of the day!!! I am very tired too...

My start weight was 12st 12lb, and I have health issues with high blood pressure kidney disease, gout.... I am now off most of my medication, I took 13 pills a day to start with and now I take 3.

My gout has dissapeared and I have got down to 11st 4lb and it is my 6 week reveiw with the surgeon tomorrow...

I had to pay privately and went to the Spire Hospital southampton and had a Mr Van Den Bossche.

I look forward to any tips the U.k branch can pass on!

happy weight loss.

Lady Ann

Hiya Lady Ann ...

google ticker factory and follow the steps. To get it onto your profile you have to copy and paste the BB code (I think that is what it is) ... this is pasted on to your signature, under your profile settings. It took me ages to get the hang of it...lol... but I am a visual person and I like to see it move!!

EWWWW, a broken rib is nasty. I am out of action at the moment with a thigh injury and it has taken its toll on me so heaven knows how you must be feeling. Chin up my lovely and a speedy recovery xx

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
