Ah pleased your finding the ultimate gastric sleeve success book useful. I thought it had amazing amounts of information that realistically applies to us and it doesn't matter that it's American like many books that are hard to use sometimes.
Wow Thursday!!! Really excited and looking forward to reading how you get on and give advice if I can for the first few weeks post op.

I had 3 weeks off but was ready to get back to work maybe after 2weeks, very quick recovery really then planning meals. Came back to work last Thursday and was quite pleased to get back into a routine. On light duties at current- so injections and small dressings etc. it's more the fatigue. When I get back to the office (community nursing) at around 1-2pm I start yawning hah. Struggling to get enough protein in (currently around 40g a day) and I'm struggling with the protein powder after taste post op, so I'm getting my protein completely from foods. Hopefully this will increase when I move onto solid foods although I'm starting to try Turkey and chicken chewed up well.

Hey Ali, I lost 2.4lbs this week which I'm happy with. Also changing onto more softer foods. Total loss is 1stone 4lbs in 3 weeks which would have been dream without the sleeve hah. Looking forward to next weeks weigh in. I'm now doing very gentle gym and gentle swimming. Ali
Fab! So pleased for you
bet you never thought you'd be looking forward to weigh ins! How long do you go swimming for? That'll be my exercise of choice once I'm sleeved, too self conscious at the moment but would love to get back in to it x

Did 45 minutes on Thursday but only breast stroke 12 lengths and treading water as I'm not really meant to swim until week 6. I swallowed some chlorine by accident and my tummy felt a bit funny. Also at the gym I did 10mins bike, 10min treadmill fast walking and 5mins rowing machine. Going to the gym Monday to Friday for half an hour or so just to start building my fitness from zero hah
