Salam Marwa' date='

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 :)

Lmao, its so funny that you mention how much you r glad to be out of the da7yi since am living there... i also cant wait to be out of here!! UGH cant wait to go back home (America)

And yea i had the surgery in lebanon with doctor RIyad Al-sahily... no complications hamdella and am shy on two months out. 37 pounds lost :)

You probably had yours in alnabatiyi cause i have heard that there are some good doctors there but it was so far for my husband to go back and forth... i hope you are doing well :)

hey Mrs, I forgot to tell you....you might already know.

there are several "american" product stores all over the Dahiya. There are three in Bir Hassan (Amtrag and Costco), one in St Therese (EZ shop) and one in Sfeir (Deals), oh forgot one...it's in a gas station, yeah that's what I said, in a gas station on Old Saida Road, between the Mar Maroun Church and the the Beirut Mall. They have saltine crackers and Crystal Light! They carry other dietish items too. I actually got my multi Vitamins at the gas station!

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!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
