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.

      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.
