Hullo from Dubai // Intro



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone ,

My name is Ahmet . I live in Dubai.

Until end of university, even first 2 years of my work i used to have a good body. I dunno what happened but i found myself rapidly gaining weight afterwards .

Did diets.. Healthy eating. Gym. Even liposuction ( what a waste of money.. pff )

I had to go through all these ups and downs to finally decide on gastric sleeve surgery.

Its exactly my 7th days from the day of my surgery . I went in at 117.7 kg and now i am at 109.4 kg . My height is 178 cm .

I see the importance of sharing experiences so here i am. Hi everyone again and all the best to all of us

Welcome to the forums. This is the best decision you could have made and you have a wonderful healthier life to look forward to. I like your name. Mine is very similar (Rehmet). Good luck on your WLS journey and keep us posted with your progress.

Thanks a lot .

What a lovely name, Rehmet . I know “ rehmat “ means blessing in farsi language. I guess Rehmet should be the same.

About the WLS, i just wanna pass the 1st month and at least try to eat normal food.

Started walking etc which are all fine. But for some reason i feel i am hungry all the time :))

Hi....

where did u have your surgery ? I had it at Dr Gokhan , Al Zahra Hospital.

Walla i have been drinking and drinking only. Water water water . I am tired of it already. Lool . Had a juice today. But dunno how to get Soup . Normal meat soup or bone soup really sucks . Protein is ok but my dietition told me not to do it with Milk yet. So thats again with water in the mornings.... :(

thanks on the pureed food . I was thinking of buying baby food but your suggestion does soung yummy :) will definitely try .

Hi Dubai people! I'm also in Dubai right now. Headed back to Beirut in a few weeks. I also consumed a lot of lentil Soup in the past month. Really Lebanese food is ideal for the recovery period because there are lots of mushy healthy things.

      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
