11 days post op

well, felt like a small piece of cod and a spoonful of mash last night after 10 days of Soup, it was great, felt very full and content. Then this morning had 2 pieces of small wholemeal toast, ate very slowly and was really really full towards the end of 2nd piece.

I am so please I did this, back to work on Monday, hurrah!

things going really well, except for eating a piece of brown bread which was the end piece, it got stuck, I got anxious, not very pleasant. So never eating crusst again.

Lost 1st 9lbs in 18 days, nice.

CONGRATS!!! It is all a learning process, we have to feel a little pain to know what we can and cannot eat. Keep us updated.

Hi

One month in and have lost 2st 7lbs, all slowing down now, no fill due until Sept.

Have found things easy so far, I went out with the wife for our anniversary last week and had a bowl of crab Soup as starter and then tried to eat a lemon sole, I was so full I only ate 1/3rd of the fish, as much as I wanted some bread, I didn't eat any with the emal, I had a crust the other day and was really bad, so never doing that again, I was so full I had bad wind and couldn't stop belching, which was nice but in no way romantic :-)

Wish I had a fill due now as things have slowed right down and I'm eating a little more each day, onto 2 slices of wholemeal toast every morning, a bowl of soup for lunch, a bowl of soup for dinner and maybe a slice of wholemeal toast as a snack if hungry.

I am unable toe at any solids yet, but will try slowly next week.

Kevin

Hi Kevin

2 and half stone in a month is blooming brilliant!!! I'm now 2 weeks and am dying to weigh myself, but I'm waiting for my follow up appointment which is in another 2 weeks time. I think I'm getting my fill then. I'm starting to feel a little bit hungry, but I haven't even attempted toast yet - I'm too scared. Still sticking to a soft diet but I think I'm craving sweet things. To be honest I don't think I'm hungy, I think I'm craving more than anything!

Keep going won't be long til your fill - your doing great so far.

cheers,I was really anxious to try toast, I ate really slowly and small pieces and it went well. I always eat wholemeal but never eat crust, ate it once and really had a problem and became anxious about it so steer clear of crust.

let me know how you go in 2 weeks time, have you noticed weight loss yet?

Hiya.

Definately notice a difference with my clothes. My jeans are huge and I can slip them off without having to take buttons or zips down! Sometimes I look in the mirror and I think I can't see any difference. Other times though, I can really notice it - which is fantastic after just 2 weeks.

Very lethagic and grumpy though - I'm off on holiday from work and go back next Monday. I hope I lighten up my mood and get more energy before then. (haven't told workmates)!! :(

I was really lethargic but seem to have got through it now, it took me at least 3 weeks. Sounds like the wights falling off you, great start.

Hi Keving,

You are doing so well so far. Can I ask why you are not having a fill until September? That seems like a really long time to wait.

That is fantastic weight loss. Well done. I am so desperate to weigh myself but it'll wait.

Chinese - YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry i couldn't help it - the only thing i can think of is the soup! I think rice is a bit tricky, but I wonder if noodles would be better? Not very helpful, but I know our more experienced bandsters will be able to help. ENJOY.

I tried to get one early July but because of business commitments I couldn't make it in London, I am away for the first 3 weeks of August so the earliest I could get a fill is Sept. Although I would like to get one done before I go away on Aug 1st.

If anyone knows of someone who does it near milton keynes etc, would appreciate it.

      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.
