September 2015 Surgeries

[mrsb1]

Well I'm 3.5 weeks into my liquid diet and I've got quite used to it and doing fine. By about 2 weeks I felt a lot better. I do have to be careful about carrying heavy things or reaching up with my left hand as it gets a bit uncomfortable but it will go in time. 12.4kg lost in 5.5 weeks including pre op, that's nearly 2 stone so I'm pleased. I am very organised and have eating plans for each day and set timers after food to know when to start drinking again. Sad but it works!! X

Wow Nicci you must be feeling great. Can you share your plan please?

I can do but it will need to be later as I'm off to training early today .

Mrsb1 here is my liquid plan. A couple of notes to accompany, I strain the soup with a tea strainer so no bits and the Fage I add milk to to make it more runny. I do vary it a bit but not much.

 

[mrsb1]

Thanks so much x

ah Hun same here hated LRD was hell and I was no angel but honest it's the best thing I could of done it's hard but you just need to crack on with it you pre op loss is fab so just relax and take each day as it comes I don't regret anything but in the first few weeks after op I'd say if I knew what I knew now then I prob would not have had it done but am over that now thank god as this is giving me a chance to have my life back I have a super supportive husband so really lucky and my kids all grown and support me it's a massive op and I think that's what I took for granted take your time to health there's no rush or race let your body heal and listen too it xxxx

Good luck Bec!

I has gastric bypass surgery on 11th Sep and I can't believe the speed of recovery! I was a bit zoned out for a day or two after surgery but have felt better and better every day since then and am even contemplating going back to work tomorrow.

I feel a little bit lost and always worried about whether I'm eating and drinking the right things. My post-op diet sheet from the hospital isn't very helpful, but reading this forum has helped a lot.

Hope you sail through the op Bec, see you on the losers bench soon!
