Ive started my pre op diet but am not doing to well although trying hard :thumbup: so how did you do, were you sucessful? Also have read somewhere that after the op while on the liquids you should have a kind of transparent Soup - whats this and where did you find it, I've bought some slim a Soups but they have bits in them are these okay? thank you hi summer i didnt really do a diet i just cut back on portion size and didnt cook in any fat just grilled everything hun,your soup will be ok, after op you just drink Water then when you get home you can have slimfast drinks and thin soups,i had Tomato Soup and home-made veg soup just blended,not long now summer lol:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jojo33 0 Posted August 21, 2010 Hi all, It's been ages since I visited the site (moving then not moving, buying then renting, long story!!) It's taken me most of the afternoon to catch up on all the posts since I was last on! Good to see so many new members and really glad to see everything has gone ok with the recently banded. Slinky, you've done it!! Well done girl. My weight loss has slowed right down, only lost a few pounds in the last couple of months, but I'm not too worried about it, I'm eating well but not over-eating which will do for me. I tried on a pair of jeans today that I've never been even close to fitting in since I bought them a few years ago, and joy!! They fit me!! I think it's about time I had fill number 4, so I was just wondering what the next date is that Freddy-boy is in Manchester if anyone knows? Glad to see the old guys are still doing well, sorry to hear you've been poorly Freckles :mad:. How're you doing after your op Garry? Love to all. xXx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a big surprise to see how little food we need to eat just to maintain current weight not alone lose weight. I just make sure I have a daily Vitamin and mineral and try to keep a good level of fluids. I've noticed youve done really well with your weight loss, you must be really pleased, its worth doing without food to get the results. Keep up the good work. mmmxxx :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freckles 0 Posted August 22, 2010 Scooby, I endorse what MMm has said...totally, that is exactly the same as I am. Lets be honest here, without meaning to be nasty or to hurt anyones feelings, we all got this way because we overate, some of us, more than others. Our bodies decide on how much we can eat to survive and the surplus is stored as fat, never mind all this calorie counting, which to my mind varies from individual to individual, whereas 1000 calories may be enough to ensure a good weight loss in me, others may only need 800 for weight loss. There is no hard and fast rule, we are all different. I couldnt eat a potato waffle, and maybe I could eat something that others couldnt tolerate. Take plenty of luids and the Vitamins, even though its really boring not being able to eat much, you will lose your weight and then try to begin a 'normal' life. me and Mmm were banded at near enough the same time , and are finding it a slow journey, others have lost more than double to what we have, it doesnt seem fair, but we have to struggle on. Be glad that thats all you can eat, after all isnt that why we had our bands? Hang in there girl, you'll be glad once the weight has gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
