Hi Folks,
So was at hospital on Monday, and now weigh 132.7 kg, a loss of 4 kg over 6 weeks. so they are very happy. So that is a total of 23 kg since start of preop and just short of 18 kg since surgery. Most of my family in Scarborough ( who knew about the surgery) are a little shocked but delighted in the changes I have made since Christmas. Unfortunately the visit is tinged with sadness as I am here to attend the funeral of the one person who would have been delighted to see me in the flesh, she did see pics of me before she died and was very supportive about the whole process since I first mentioned it. This has just given me more reasons why I am never going back to the way I was.

Hi @sandra overton, only a week to go for you. I am taking to the new eating regime very well, having lots of meals out and people are surprised how little I eat now compared with what I use too. Still following the L&D plan, 3 main meals and 3 snacks, not always manage to get all 6 , but seems to be acceptable to my stomach. Just coming off the lanzaprole, so been aware of any acid reflux, but none so far.

Sandra you can have as much milk as you want, your pouch won’t want anywhere near as much as your having now but milk is a good source of protein too, I’ve stuck to semi skimmed x

I use “my protein” online, from what I’ve read whey isolate is the best powder to buy, what a shame there were no much help x

That’s great, I’m not a squash drinker either but I do find it’s better with the unflavoured powder in water, it just freshens it up a bit. I am now able to drink 300mls milk but I drink it really really slowly, tiny but constant sips, to start with I only managed 100mls which increase to 200mls now 300 xxx
