August 2015 Surgeries

[niccie]

It's all very different wherever you go I think!

You and I have the same surgeon Niccie yet because we have different providers the advice is different. Crazy! Still I'll stick with it as I understand the main purpose is so that ulcers don't develop.

 

[niccie]

Yes your right, because the prof thinks 2 weeks on liquid is ok but the spire riding programme is 4 weeks liquid, prof said he thought that was probably better.

I had my surgery at the spire Southampton and there's has changed since I had bypass five years ago, had revision bypass and Fobi ring 4 weeks ago and there's is now, two weeks liquid, two weeks purée and two weeks minced.

So last day of the month, Hope everyone is now through their surgery, back home, starting to fell better and seeing the 1st losses. I am sure we will all have ups and downs over the coming months and whatever other people might say this is not going to be the "easy option".

Ladies (I think I am the only guy on this thread) we are all starting this journey together and I just wanted to say Good luck everyone !

 

[niccie]

Good luck to you too x

Week 3 weekly weigh in day and lost 1.5lbs, Not as much as I hoped as have been walking 2.5 - 3 miles every day and sticking to puree diet. I have seen posts mentioning a third week stall so I suppose I should be grateful I did manage a loss.,,,,and I did go down a waistsize.

 

[niccie]

Going down a waist size is amazing, well done ?

 

[excitedbutnervous]

It comes in swings and roundabouts. I did lose of exercise last week (week 5) and I gained 0.2 pound! It's coming off nicely again now though

 

[Loving the Loop]

I'm just happy to see it going down at whatever rate it wants.

 

[excitedbutnervous]

And when was the last time you lost 16lb in 3 weeks with no fear of putting it on the following week.

 

[niccie]

Never!

I have lost 9.5 kgs (21lbs) on 4 weeks. I see Vain has done even better, well done with that. What about everyone else ? I love to hear other peoples good news.

 

[niccie]

Your doing very well loving the loop! I had my op on the 22nd Aug and including the 2 week LSD I've lost 1 St 10, so 24lb. X it is a quiet thread, maybe the rent aren't many August ops? X
