Hi meet I'm in Wales and was sleeved July 2015 in Carmarthen. Best thing I ever did in my life.

What date is your op

Hi there, I have mine on Monday in Cardiff, getting anxious now. Good to hear you are pleased you had it done, I'm worried about the first few weeks but am certain it's the best decision for the longer term. Be good to keep in touch

Hi Meeb. That's awesome news on being back to work after a week. Do you mind me asking what job do you do?

I work for the NHS, just did office based stuff the first week but pretty much back to normal now, except no manual handling!

Hi all I live in Milton Keynes and had my sleeve done on November 7th. It's been a rather roller coaster of a time, due to having a gastric bleed and ulcer a week later. Still struggle getting all my fluids down, but every day is a day of learning. On the 22 December they are putting a camera down to have a look see, will update everyone then.

All I can say is take things slowly don't try and rush things, but I have lost 55lb so everything is going in the right direction.

      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.
