I decided to have the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery last October after struggling with my weight all my life. I had my surgery on December 9th 2011. Best decision I have ever made.

The surgery went well with no problems. I was allowed home after two days. Had no pain or discomfort.

My weight loss has been pretty consistant since my operation.

I have lost 30kg as of today. I would never have lost this much weight in such a short time without this surgery. I started at the gym last week to help tone and keep the weight coming off.

I still have trouble drinking all the Water you are suppose to in a day and still finding out what I can and can't eat, apart from that, all is great. I am still getting use the fact that I am not hungry and want to eat all the time like I use too.

Hi,

So glad to hear that your surgery went well and that there have been no real issues after. I have just this minute sent a bank transfer to pay the balance for my surgery (surgery date 3 April) and as soon as I pressed the button I said "there is no going back now". I of course have concerns especially as I am having my surgery in europe (I'm UK based) and will only travel out with 2 other sleevers (no family). Well the pre-op starts in 2 weeks! I hope that my journey is as plain sailing as yours. Cathy

thanks heaps for your comments. UK Cathy, you won't regret hitting the send button. Do everything that you are told after surgery and all will be great. The most important part is the couple of weeks following surgery when you are on soft food only. This is important so your stomach can heal. I would do it all over again if I had to.

The great part is that you lose weight so easily with little effort and feel great.

Any questions just ask.

I have added you as a friend

Judy

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
