Wow what a transformation you should be soo proud of yourself, well done inspirational lady X

I recently had a glass of ice cold flat Sprite Zero it was a bleedin taste sensation!!! Haha :D

You're very welcome Carol :) I lost 3 stone prior to my op which was a hard slog but I weighed in at 15st on op day (20th Jan 2016) and today I weigh 12st6lb I think in comparison to others my weight loss hasn't been as drastic post op but this works for me because I didn't tell many people...

I went for the loop bypass only because it allows me to eat slightly more than the rny pouch would, which I think will suit me better long term plus come op day following strict pre op diet for 8 months I weighed 15 stone so didn't have masses of weight to loose It's a very individual decision...

Hi nafpnd My typical days diet now I'm coming up to 10 weeks out is: B- kingsmill wholemeal sandwich thin with two poached eggs L - small baked potato with tuna or homemade veg broth T - chicken (generally have to cook it in a sauce as can't get baked chicken down) with some veg but can't...

Hi Amy I had a loop bypass 8 weeks ago, my experience was I had some localised pain on the day of op so accepted some pain relief overnight however the next day I didn't really have any pain as such I was more weary and exhausted and this lasted for about two and a half weeks until my body...

Chin up huni it will happen :) (eventually) I know the waiting is a pain but it's all worth it in the end, best of luck with it all Xx

Yeah I was exactly the same was frightened to eat too much so stopped well before I felt anything close to full, i was on puree for 4 weeks (well I only lasted two weeks in honesty) and during the puree stage i never felt any restriction I would have a couple of spoons of yoghurt or soup then...

Only got 2lbs to go and I will be simply overweight!!!!! This to me is sooooo super exciting as I have been obese/morbid my entire adult life starting to feel the benefits of the op now it's official I'm no longer an op regretter:) I now feel so lucky to be a looper X

Interesting thread I've noticed post bypass that I'm also no longer eating salad, vegetables or fruit in the way I was when following pre op diet in fact I'm not having them at all!!! once I have eaten small amount of protein ie a bit of chicken I don't have room for anything else I was assuming...

I was lucky as those around me were very supportive from the moment I expressed an interest in WLS as a recent bypasser I can say that in the first few weeks you definitely need to lean on others even for simple tasks so having plenty of support is extremely important, I wish you lots of luck...

Hi Westie Well I've been back to work for two weeks now and it's safe to say I manage no problem at all whilst I'm there but I literally collapse into a heap when I'm home haha I've got quite a physical job so find myself exhausted have seriously struggled to stay awake after 7pm but I'm also...
