Hi chucklecheeks

The only advice I can give is if like me I did not get much help from a dietician because I do not live near anywhere where they do the op. So I have had to look for help online I also follow a lot of people on YouTube who had this done and it's really helpful to know that what you are going through others have too!. I got really depressed in the first few weeks because I could keep nothing down but Water due to a mix up of medications I was on preop and postop. But some people do get depression for a while because your body needs to catch up with your head and vice versa. I thought I had made a mistake in the first few weeks but now I'm so much better especially health wise. I was on 23 tablets a day for various things now only 6 and 2 of them are Multivitamins and Iron. So don't get disheartened if things are hard it does get better. [emoji5]x

Hi I am based in the U.K. And am scheduled to have my sleeve on the 11th! Start the liquid diet as of this Friday (dreading that) but am mostly positive. My experience so far as been great and surprisingly quick as I went to the first appointment on 31/12. Already started my Vitamins just to build myself up a bit. Fingers crossed u get your date soon

I'm from Leicestershire. All dietician appointments have gone well. I've lost 2 stone since I started with him 10 months ago. I can't wait for an appointment with surgeons. I'm so ready for it now!! My dietician said I should get an appointment sometime in march maybe April and then could be 8 weeks after that for surgery x
