Big an Bouncy · 17th February, 2012

You are perfectly normal and everyone goes through the same thing.We wonder what the hell we have done to our bodies,why couldnt I just diet and lose weight,will I ever eat 'normally' again.
It all falls into place,it takes weeks to heal inside properly,weeks to get used to foods we no longer want or need,weeks for the lbs and inches to start moving.But when it does fall into place you wont look back and you will laugh at these first few weeks.Come back in August and tell us how you feel then.You will be slimmer,better dressed full of energy healthy and happy!Promise,It happened to me!

SarahAD · 18th February, 2012

Thanks for that!
It all makes sense. It gets a bit better every day I must admit and I'm feeling very optimistic today!
I will hopefully be able to go shopping in the late summer for a nice dress for my daughter's 18th party!!!

just want to send you hugs hun, there isnt anything i can say which hasnt already been said.. but the first few weeks are tough... but will get easier dont worry xxx

SARAH S · 18th February, 2012

As said before it does get easier....

Take time for yourself and make the most of being able to rest. Treat yourself to little things like painting your nails, having a soak in the bath whatever is your thing.

I was about your weight when I had my op and struggled daily top get enough liquids, food etc etc. At one point I didn't know how I could possibly fit in work as well as my full time consumption program!!!

Now 5months and 5 stone lighter most days are great...I won't say every day because that would be a lie...

Keep doing what your doing and it will all fall into place

shelleyt · 18th February, 2012

Hi Sarah, I am 10 days post op now, I also felt I had made the biggest mistake of my life, I'm more optimistic now but I'm on a liquid diet for 4 weeks and am looking forward to the pureed stage as I'm fed up of soup already and when family eat their meals I miss that. I'm sure it will get better for us, especially when we lose our weight. Tale care x

SarahAD · 18th February, 2012

Hi Shelley
Yes I'm on liquids for 4 weeks too and am sooo looking forward to scrambled eggs etc!
I'm feeling a bit better about it all today!
Sarah xx

shelleyt · 18th February, 2012
