UK Cathy 977 Posted January 17, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jojiblossom 14 Posted January 21, 2013 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.

sleevegurl 4 Posted February 1, 2013 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. karen x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thistlegirl 20 Posted February 2, 2013 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.... gilx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pink grace 31 Posted February 2, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thistlegirl 20 Posted February 3, 2013 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. gilx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatGreek 20 Posted February 4, 2013 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.
