cathyem1 5 Posted October 21, 2013 Hi everyone. I'm getting sleeved on 12th November at Nuffield Brentwood with Mr Koak. My pre op slimfast diet starts on 29th. I am very excited but also nervous. My husband is great but he's a feeder and is getting very twitchy about me eating small meals. I have secondary progressive MS and still work part time, as he's retired he's the chef.

cathyem1 5 Posted October 22, 2013 Wow, that is Amazing!! How hard is it and did you have any problems after surgery? Sorry to bombard you with questions xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanks51 214 Posted October 22, 2013 Wow' date=' that is Amazing!! How hard is it and did you have any problems after surgery? Sorry to bombard you with questions xx[/quote'] I haven't found it difficult at all. For me so far it's been magnificent. Of course post op for 4-6weeks is challenging but now that is just a very distant memory!! I had no pre op diet luckily so never 'suffered' through that either. No problems after surgery, focused more on 'clean' eating than anything else. No Hair loss to date and started exercising after my 7 week post op appointment. I've made a lot of positive changes to my lifestyle.. One thing I'm not anymore is obsessed... Not about the scale, calories, Protein or anything else!! Yes I flow the rules.. Protein first, stop when I'm hungry, weigh every 1-2 weeks. I just get a huge smile on my face when I think of my journey... And I hope that yours is as amazing as mine!!
