Hi Guys, not been on for a while. Good to see everyone is doing well still, and wow 6 months (almost 7) out already. I have dropped 9 stone now and feel great. Still trying to do a couple of days at the gym each week although that has been difficult with work over the last couple of weeks. I...

Hi FeeBee, i was given a guide to the different stages which only really covered the first 12 weeks broken in to 3 stages however it did not give cal targets, only what type of foods at each stage. I have my first meeting with the dietitian at the end of the month so will speak to them then and...

Hi guys, i really struggle knowing what i should be having as nobody has ever set me targets so far. Some days i know that i have too much I.e yesterday i had about 1300cal where as other days i am lucky if i get 500-600cal in. I have my first appointment with the dietitian at the end of march...

Feeling pretty good now, i am 6 stone down from before my LRD but seeing the change in myself looking at a before and after pic really made me smile.

Exercise is funny thing lol, never before have i enjoyed being in pain but i do feel good when i ache after working out. Back again tonight for more of the same.

First session at the gym tonight and i am both dreading and looking forward to it. Hope that the exercise will jump start my weight loss a bit if it doesn't kill me first lol

I really struggle to track my intake daily but know that i have had a few naughty bits recently (a packet of skips or a couple of rich tea biscuits or a small pack of twiglets). On the few day that i have tracked my calorie intake has been under 800 (sometimes under 500) but when i look at the...

Glad to hear that everyone is doing well, it has been a while since i have been on here properly. I had my 6 week check up at the hospital yesterday morning and the nurse was happy with how it is all going and i am now 4 1/2st down from before i started my LRD so i am pretty happy too. Looking...

No, I am on purée but I am not breaking it down in to protein, veg and carbs, I am ending up just doing some mash potato and gravy or just some fish etc.

I haven't got my head around logging any figures yet, I am only a week out but struggling to eat any real planned meals (by planned I mean set out as protein, veg & carbs) and really don't fancy anything that is pureed TBH. I am just grazing on maybe 3 main foods each day and the odd snack but...

I am on the soluble one for 6 weeks and cannot wait until I change to tablets, mine is fruits of the forest but it is not great

Hi SAM55, is the Horlicks just normal or low fat? Need to find something nice to drink warm.

I have pretty much the same except for the latulose and I was told I didn't need b12 until 3 months. Love how quickly the weight is dropping so far, I am around 10lb down since Saturday when I had surgery and over 2 stone sine starting lrd which I will take while it lasts as I am sure that will...

Hi all, back home and recovering well now the gas feeling has finally broken. I am straight on to purée from the get go but I have not even started to look at my intake as I am lucky if my total is around 10 teaspoons for the whole day so far lol. Such a strange feeling when you have this tiny...

Hi all, surgery went well and I am now officially bypassed and on the losers bench :wee: Went down at about 11am and I as back on the ward by about 13:45. Had quite a bit of gas pain for the first couple of hours but that has pretty much gone for now and I am managing to walk about and drink...

All checked in, bloods and obs done now just waiting for my time. I am second on the list so hopefully I go down around 11 and hit the losers bench by this afternoon

On countdown now, only 4 days until i am on the losers bench :eek::eek::eek:

How long after surgery (particularly Bypass) did everyone start to introduce spices back in to their diet? I go straight to puree following surgery but like to add spice to my food normally and worried i will regret it if done too soon.

I understand the reason we all need to do the LRD but i cannot get my head around how wildly different every provider is with their diets. It doesn't look like it gets much clearer after surgery either with some people on liquid only and others on puree straight off the bat (which thankfully my...

I am booked in for 26th November so not long now. I have not found the LRD as hard as i thought although the first couple of days i would have killed for food, but i have found it very boring. I love different tastes like spices or herbs but the milk diet is very bland. I am allowed 1 pint of...
