Hello sorry I'm a bit late to the party I've not logged on for well over a year! I had an mgb with Chris de bruyne / BSS on 2nd April 2019. All plain sailing, no negative after affects really although I can suffer with acid reflux at times but I know that's diet related for me. Tge team /...

Hi @bex.wils Sounds like you're doing great! It's all a learning curve. I've had a couple of dumping experiences. One was with reduced fat hummus which I'm gutted about as I used to love it. Other than that I'm doing fine. I've lost 31lb in total now (inc pre op diet) & feel so good. I've got...

Hi @bex.wils Just wondered how you're doing 3 weeks after your sugery. I found week 3 quite hard and had a gain of 3lb so just wanted to check you're doing ok. Emma xx

Hi @OkieGirl Congrats on your fabulous weight loss! I really feel for you after hitting the week 3 stall. I gained 3lbs in the same week and lije you, you know you've done everything correct and possibly expect a stall or gain but it's pretty scary. Please believe it'll come off the week after...

Hi @Sarnie good to hear you're doing ok. The wind is so uncomfortable isn't it. Keep resting and moving it really helped me xx

Hope you're feeling ok Rebecca and the wind pain is easing. Like you I just wanted to get home once I was out of hospital. Glad you're feeling ok. I needed pain relief for the 1st few nights to let me have a good rest. Hope the journey home goes well. You'll feel so much better at home I'm sure xx

Glad it all went well for you hope you get some sleep xx

Just wanted to wish you lots of luck for tomorrow @bex.wils. You're in very good hands. I can't believe I'm 2 weeks out already. I'll be thinking of you & @Sarnie tomorrow xxxx

Hiya @OkieGirl Congrats on your op & well done with making a good recovery. I also followed my pre op diet to the letter (lost 9lbs) but was shocked to read in my notes that I had a "severe fatty liver". We all carry our fat differently I guess but the main thing is they went ahead with your...

I got my dry mouth spray in Boots. It was a god send. Congrats on your date for surgery! I had my mini gastric bypass a week ago. I'm doing ok. It's a huge life change but for all the right reasons xx

Thank you @Maria61 xx

I took a towel but I'm sure I saw one lady with a hospital towel. I guess you could ask at hotel if you could borrow one of their towels? Xx

Like you say you just have to let be what will be but I'll have everything crossed for you. Worry / stress is natural but I'm sure once he sees how much this means to you & how quickly you'll be back on your feet (They have you up / walking asap! It really does help though) he'll be fine. I'm...

Hi Rebecca yes liquid only for now. I need to check my notes but I think I can add mushy from 14 days? The gas afterwards has been my biggest challenge my tummy is like a beachball & the noises coming out of it are quite funny. You might not need your fluffy socks as you have to wear compression...

Hi @bex.wils & @Sarnie how are you both doing with your LRD? I found the weekends hard when i didnt have work to occupy my mind. Keep going ladies. Its a whole new adventure on the other side. I cannot believe how I don't feel any hunger or thirst....incredible. Not long for you both now!! XX

Thank you @Bling Babe finally home from Belgium this afternoon. It's certainly interesting getting to know my new anatomy. Every day I'm learning but feeling so positive despite being so flipping gassy!! Lol xx

Hi Rebecca / Slim Kim Frederick said I could've gone out for a meal on the Monday night as long I didn't overdo it but I didn't as I knew I'd be sick after the op and didn't want to make it worse. Just sat in a cafe while h7bby has a late lunch & I'm on water. Going to pop to Lidl later to get...

I think you'll have to stay in 2 nights Rebecca. You'll need it; you'll feel exhausted the day after. I had op Tues out to hotel 1pm today. I feel pretty good today. There were a few of us in hotel who met the morning in the hosp & our partners met up to get some beer / food which made me feel...

Hi Rebecca. The band hadn't caused her lesions it's was just her physiology & she's been having tests for a few yrs as she had alot of pain in her stomach area. Thyme travel was fine. Taxi was on time. The hotel is nice but doesn't do food apart from breakfast. There's a Lidl about a 7 min walk...
