A new joiner from Cheshire

[hampers]

Came across this site by accident when trying to get an answer to a question on the internet! I had my roux en-y bypass on 10 June this year. Started dieting in January though in the hope that the local PCT would pay, how wrong I was so paid myself. Have recovered well and been back at work for 2 weeks with no ill effects. Finding it a bit hard to get 2 litres of fluid down when sipping and i found out the hard way about sipping when I forgot and took a big gulp. Not had any dumping at all but was very full after about 1 1/2 scrambled eggs with cheese! Have lost 26 lbs since surgery and am really pleased with that. I do find it a bit hard relating meal times to not being hungry but that's all in the head and I'm sure will change in time.

Hiya Phil and welcome
You will find this site is a wealth of information and support, and the people are fantastic
Glad you have recovered well and are now adjusting to your new way of life.
I am starting my pre op diet tomorrow with the op on 12th, so it will be good to follow your diary and see how you are doing.
Look forward to hearing more from you xxxx
