I use impact whey Protein, I find vanilla is good and when I want a change I add a small amount of instant coffee to it and it is lush. I particularly like the choc mint but I do have a sweet tooth.

I do not know the sugar content but all the nutritional values are indicated on the web page. You should get tasters as what I like you might hate.

Hi there. I have Hair loss. I'm 4 months out. It's not like all your hair falls out. People don't notice. It's often to do with general anaesthetic. How are you getting on?

I'm doing great thanx. I'm now 3 and a half months out and I've lost 4 stone. I'm half way there! I thought I noticed a little hair loss but it seems to have stopped since I got my hair cut. Still early days though so I won't be surprised if it kicks off again soon.

Hi All, I'm based in Ireland so it's great to see a group that's relatively close to me! I'm not sleeved yet but should be getting a surgery date in the next few months. I have one more pre op test to complete and it's just a waiting game from there! I've only been on here a few days but have made connections with great people and got lots of advice. :D

Hi everyone

I'm in Paisley Scotland and getting sleeved March 26th by Mr Galloway in Glasgow.

Great to see everyone doing so well.

I've got a 2 week low fat diet to follow so fingers crossed I can do that. Trying to cut down at the moment as my joints are really aching and I'm at my highest weight ever :(

As a failed bandster I am determined to make this op work for me.

Just have major issues about dying and leaving my wee girl alone. But trying not to panic too much....

try notn to think about dying the sleeve is no more dangerous than a gall bladder removal, and is much less invasive than the bypass, and not as long, focus on the positives if you can, xx

Ahh right I had a wee look at your other posts - how frustrating! Really feel for you having to keep waiting. I was bad enough being told it'd be Jan then having to wait till March...

Fingers crossed for you. Maybe we'll be going through this together.

I'm getting sleeved in a few hours. Early Tuesday at 7am. Bit worried for my family but not scared.

Hope all goes smoothly. I know my Pre op diet was a roller coaster but still lost 1 stone.

Going to miss the binge but need to be forced now. Can't wait to be post op fast forward 3 months.

      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.
