You might surprise yourself and have a loss like that 4lb loss bet you didn't expect that yes when your really busy tomorrow just think more calories been burnt I've been walking to pick my son up from school nothing to much and find it really makes a difference in my weight loss xx
No i didnt expect the 4lb at all but i think that was a one time miracle haha. I tried to do more walking but it kills me with arthritis. Takes me 2 days to recover from a walk up the school. How much have you lost in total?

Getting really close now I can't wait till you know more after your next appointment I forgot to say it's a good job I wanted the bypass as that's the only one I can have with having this hernia when he said I had one he went on to say so the only operation I can offer you would be at this point my heart sank to my toes as I had my heart set on the bypass he came out with bypass I had a smile from ear to ear lol xx
Thats lucky isnt it. Iv decided on the sleeve but if i had to id b ok with the bypass. What made you choose the bypass anyway. I feel all flued up this morning think i over did it yesterday at my moms. Shes already been on the phone this morning to see what time im going lol. Gotta take kids school then get to it agen. Another busy day but more calories to burn.
How u feeling today bet your throats a little sore

When i went for seninar the surgeon said the bypass was top dog n thought if I'm doing something so drastic might as well go all out at least I will be in straight and narrow with a bypass will keep me off the sweet stuff even tho I don't eat a lot of sweet stuff anyway hope that makes sense lol and try not to over do it today and no I'm fine today no sore throat xx

Do you know which bypass SJ, is it RNY or Mini Loop like me ? I know Sunderland do both.

The RNY I think he said with having this hernia it's my only option xx
I know they says its the most effective which sometimes makes me think should i go for that but i think im sold on the sleeve. Id like to get surgeons opinion before i make my final decision. Another busy day im shattered just relaxing now.

Can I ask what your reasons are for choosing the sleeve yeah relax after your day of calorie burning haha xx
Well i compared the sleeve to bypass and i jus feel that the sleeve is a safer option and is supposed to have less long term complications. And the malnutrition scares me a little that it can cause problems with bones and ad i already suffer badly thats a worry for me. I aslo like that your supposed to lose slower with the sleeve so could help with loose skin but overall you lose the same sort of amount. I like the idea of the bypass but some of the long term things put me off. I think with the amount i need to loose the bypass would b better but i think if i had to many problems if just regret it after. Its so hard to choose and if im totally homest im not 100% on the sleeve its for like 90% sleeve 10% bypass. Im going to speak to surgeon an dietician an see if based on my habbits they feel one would b better than the other for me. Its so hard cuz its probably the biggest decision i will make about my health.

Seems like you've done your research and good reasons behind it malnutrition was a concern of mine too so brought it up with the nurse and she said as long as I do what they say I will be fine it's people who don't follow the rules properly who has problem so I'm ok with that xx
Does dumping worry you. Its a gd thing in a way cuz will put u off sweet food they said could get dumping with sleeve but most likely with bypass. Yh based on my research iv chose sleeve but jus want to get a professional opinion off surgeon. I wanna lose about 7-8 stone and wonder if thats possible with the sleeve. Jus wish i was at your stage now. The waiting is frustrating. Shouldnt b too long i hope xx

That's one of the reasons I chose a bypass so dumping will scare me in to not eating sweet things although some people can eat anything without effect but everyone is different I suffered with gallstones a few years back and every time I ate something sweet crippled me I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy I would rather give birth than go through with that so I try and think of it like that I guess I've been through some **** in my time I'm prepared to deal with anything thrown at me my mam said to me the other week when I told her I was worried about surgery she said everything you've been through nothing should scare you and she's right I've been where you are and believe me it goes so quick xx
