We had our surgeries about 2 years ago, I remember it like it was yesterday. It's been a while since I've heard from you all but I hope my December 2015 buddies are doing well. Let us know how you're getting on!

I completely understand, this has happened way too many times for me, and I'm letting bad habits like drinking whilst I'm eating slip in. But I think the fact that we're aware of it is actually a good thing. Also over time, we can just naturally eat more so eating a normal portion at some point...

Hiya! Yes I can eat lots more than I could 18 months ago, on my diary on here, I did say that I try and tell myself just because you can, doesn't mean you should, so just because I can eat loads I try not too. It's definitely not as much as pre-op, but I can eat quite a bit now which can be a...

Hi Barne! Yeah it is a shame, it could have been a real asset, but we're such a small community. No worries though, plenty of support elsewhere on the forum. How are you feeling about your impending MGB?

Hi Debs, Sorry that you're struggling at the moment, we all have our highs and lows. You sound like you know what the problem is though so I'm sure you'll get back on track. I hope the meeting with the psychologist goes well. Hope to hear updates soon :)

Well done Tasmine :) you must feel a lot better! You should be really proud of yourself. :0clapper::)

This is a great thread! :) My goal for Christmas is to maintain my weight but to not obsess over food either. I had my op last Christmas so it will be nice to treat myself in moderation!

It's a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) I was told that I would have to take one everyday for the rest of my life, some people only have to take it for a few months. It helps to reduce the amount of acid. I would check with your provider and check if there's a certain multivitamin they would like you...

Hi Heidi. I agree with what some of the other posters have said, there have been people who have gone abroad by themselves to get the surgery but it's important to make sure you have a plan like starreyeyed suggests. When I was sick after my surgery I remember that the NHS doctors couldn't do a...

Amazing news! :) Good luck on your journey!

Your photos are so inspiring, you look like a completely different person. :):) Wishing you a speedy recovery and very well done for Snowdon!!

It's been a long time guys! How is everyone doing?

The MGB forum is often quiet but it might be a nice idea to start a weekly weigh in like the banders have where we talk about what we're eating and have a casual weigh in :) Anyone up for this??

Haha I remember how busy it was as well! I'm glad it has gone well for you, sorry about the discomfort, I hope it goes away soon. :)

No problem, sorry no-one got back to you. I hope it all goes well! Please let us know how you get on :)

Hello there Kat! Welcome to the MGB club. I had the MGB in December and my life has completely changed (mostly for the better) since having it done. Highs: Feeling healthier and being able to walk without feeling like my legs are going to give in. Of course I love looking smaller but not...

Nice to hear from you again Wendy, well done on your amazing weight loss!

Debs it definitely has the va va voom effect on me, I've been reading your diary and all of your progresses have been so inspirational! I really hope you keep updating even after you get to where you'd like to be :)

Well done Caz! :D I remember when you were ill and now look at you, you're doing so well. I've lost 5 stone too but since pre-op so not losing super fast but averaging a stone a month. How is everyone? What are you all eating?

Oooh some of these chicken dishes look really good. Thank you :)
