loobylou238 43 Posted September 29, 2013 Lady in Red - where in the Uk are you from and where did you get your surgery done? I am in Scotland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyinRed13 10 Posted September 29, 2013 Hi I'm from London, had my surgery in London independent bmi hospital by Mr Manuur, how are you getting on? X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loobylou238 43 Posted September 29, 2013 I live in Falkirk, a town halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. The NHS wouldn't do my surgery because I did not have diabetes. So I paid privately and went to a clinic in France. I consider this to be the best money I've ever spent and don't regret it one bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyinRed13 10 Posted September 29, 2013 I agree with you, the best money I have spent too! I went private too, I should have done it years ago, I have 4 more stone to lose roughly, can you eat all foods? I struggle with chicken at the moment x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loobylou238 43 Posted September 29, 2013 Nope, have been taking it easy. Liquidised home made Soup, yoghurts, crackerbread with Philly light, fruit juice, V8 juice, the occasional Protein Drink and Water. I'm not good at consuming my Proteins and getting enough water. Before my op I did drink a lot of water but now I find it so hard just to sip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aggie1234 7 Posted September 29, 2013 Hi looby Lou Well done that's fab on your loss. 17 pounds in 10 days is excellent. I've lost 13 pounds so far. And 6 pounds pre op so 19 altogether. Bit dissappointed as i thought I would lose a lot more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjm1969 10 Posted September 30, 2013 Hello, I'm from the US. My surgery was 9/23. From my surgery consult on the 17th until the 26th, I had lost 14 pounds. I don't have a scales at home so I don't know how much more I have lost. I go back to Dr this Wednesday, so Im excited to see. Dr still has me on Clear Liquids. Next will be full liquid. I'm doing pretty good with my Protein but having trouble with Water.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
