I thought I'd start this thread as i'm having surgery for a gastric sleeve at the BMI Alexandra hospital on 26th March with Professor Ammori.
Congratulations you've booked are you having your gall bladder done at the same time? Did you get anywhere with the price increase? Xx

You will be so pleased but don't worry if your not sure you did the right thing for a few days X
Hello another March surgery here too. I've already had mine on 14th match so I'm 5 days out. Everyday is getting better although I felt so awful at first I kind of thought why the hell have I do me this to myself! Anyway I'm taking it day by day and feeling much better. Currently in purée/ liquids but not managing much at all. Had 1/3 bottle slim fast for breakfast, 1/4 tub puréed chicken and lentil soup for lunch and a few spoonfuls of Danio yoghurt for tea. Trying to get the fluids down managing around 2 tall glasses per day! On the day on my surgery I weighed 18 st 13 after losing 2st 6 since original referral. Weighed myself yesterday going for huge loss as I have barely eaten anything .... Weighed exactly the same! Does anyone have any idea of why this may be? I know it will come I just want the see some results !!
Good luck for 26th! My top tip would be to bring some lip balm on the day of your op. I forgot mine and my lips were soon dry ! Xx
Hi monalisa Yeah I decided in sleeve. I spoke to My surgeon on the phone and he recommended sleeve so I thought that he was the expert!
Yeah I'm with northern general (Sheffield) and their advice seems to be quite different it's clear fluids for first day then liquid/ purée for next three weeks. To be honest I haven't had anything purred other than the soup as I'm not really feeling up to it yet.
Any tips for what I can eat to get protein in ?
Weighed just after I posted and 5lbs down since op! Can't grumble with that?
When were you able to get up and out of the house? When did all your pain go? Are you still felling tired? I'm due back to work a week on mo day :s. Sorry for all the questions! Well done on your loss that's fantastic ! X

Yes I could walk about the day after. It's painful but you can do it. Today I feel a million times better only had one lot of pain killers don't think I'll need any more. Only one of my sites it slightly painful and swollen the rest are ok. It's the getting up from sitting and lying which really hurt at first but much better. I feel much more positive today and looking forward to the rest of my life! I've been out today and taken my son to the doctors(partner drive) and I feel better for going out. Just resting a lot and watching lodes of tv which is getting boring now. Going to do the food shop tommorow with partner and three year old to get me out and about abit.
Monalisa yes I had band out and sleeve all in one don't think I could have coped with two ops! Did you have two? Any tips of what to eat in purée stage feeling abit more up to it now. I might have some milky readybreak for tea.
What about highlights hot chocolates?
I think I dumped on slim fast this morning!!

Thanks, that's really good to hear your up and about and could walk the day after, i'm quite sure I'll go stir crazy after a few days of lying around. I know my body though and will listen to it and take it easy.
Mine warned me that he may not be able to do the procedure if there was too much scaring but after he said there was barely any scaring at all. Good idea I'm going to try some proper things over the weekend to try and say away from the slim fast which I think is far too sweet for me. Are you on normal food yet? What are your portion sizes like x
