Ahlan wa sahlan! Welcome to the group. Don't worry about your English. I am an American living in Lebanon, I am sure that I give the locals plenty of laughs with my "wonderful" Arabic lol ;)

16 kilos in a month and a half if great! Have you started exercising? It might be difficult if you just moved to London. But go out and explore your new surroundings and you will be exercising at the same time :)[/quote']

Ultra, how far out are you? I think living in Kuwait you should be able to find several Protein supplement options. Do you have a GNC store? I bought a chocolate flavored whey protein isolate. I make a shake everyday, it got boring, I'm not going to lie. One day I add banana, one day Peanut Butter, sometimes instant coffee crystals.

You can do it, don't get discouraged :)

Hi guys

Born in Australia and Lebanese background my parents are from Lebanon. I was sleeved on 3 December and have lost 10 kilos. Just had Christmas here and what helped was stage 3 soft food do all I had was 2 tablespoons of baba ganouch and hommus. What are your cravings if you have had any? Any recipe ideas for the soft food stage?

Salaam Ladies!!

I was sleeved on 12-12-12. What a date to remember. I'm from Syria - but currently live in southern California.

Not doing well with my liquid intake - find it hard to drink more than 8 oz of Water a day and about 4 oz of shake. It sucks watching everyone enjoying dinner and you know us Arabs - its a feast every night :-)

Love this post!!!

Hi Ms. Cali,

Where about in SoCal are you? I was in OC but moved towards the desert.

I'm not sleeved yet, but I totally understand about the feasts. My family owns a restaurant and my mother in law lives with us. Hope I can curb all of my cravings when my family cooks.

Best of luck to all of you!!

      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.
