Hi Zebra, I am only a week post-op so I am not very experienced but just wanted to say happy healing xxx

I was also listed for a bypass but due to previous hysterectomy and propensity to bleed during surgery my consultant switched to a sleeve.
I have lost 6stone 6lbs to date and am totally thrilled.
Good luck darling

Thank you. I started dieting after Christmas this year and lost two stone prior to my op in June, the rest is all post op.

Hi Zebraaa, I went in for a bypass and came out with a sleeve due to a bowel malformation and adhesions. However, I am pleased with the results, I am 6 months post op and have lost 5st 8lb. I know the weight loss is slower than with the bypass, but it is still coming off at about a pound a week.On the plus side I don't dump easily, can eat most foods and also my IBS is gone! I even went out for afternoon tea last week with friends and had a little bit of everything! So you don't have to miss out. Eat your protein first, and take your vits, 3 small meals, and 2 snacks a day and you will be fine xx

Don't worry about weight loss yet, you are still swollen from surgery and your body goes into shock. Having said that I had lost about 7lbs in week one so you may well have lost. Having looked into the sleeve more since the op I am more and more convinced it was actually a better op for me to have.

Its less intrusive from what i understand you basically being retrained, its a tools, it already braking the horrible cycle i was in maybe this is better, it'd broken the cycle its cant be as bad as some people say guess there has to be a willingness to change as well x

About vits, I had chewable ones for 4 weeks then went onto ordinary ones - centrum advance are good. It is a tool, but a good one as you just cant overeat. Good luck with your journey xxxx
