I'm feeling good, I have lost a full 14kg. 10kg was on the pre-op diet and after a slow start, 4kg since the op. I am now the lightest I have been for the last 15 years

3 weeks out this Tuesday coming. Drove yesterday and I think back to work on Thursday. Had a complete turnaround on Friday, energy back and excessive breathlessness gone.
Managing about 600/700 cals and 1 to 1.5ltrs water per day. Including pre op diet which started on 5th Jan have lost 32lbs but been a bit stagnant this last 3/4 days as now constipated.
Hope everyone is doing well

Wow thats fab!!
Ive been a bit obsessive with the scales and trying not to be atm! I think ive lost about a stone since op most of that in the 1st week tho when I was feeling rough..started to get annoyed that it had slowed down this week but its only normal I guess.

Hi crucon, not long to go now, what time is your op planned for? I will say that I was due in a 2.30 but didn't get taken until closer to 4 but we sat thru in the day room watching a medley of come dine with me until they took us thru to the HDU room for BP, weight, gown and sexy stockings.
Feeling soooo much better now and it's good to get out of the house and back to some sort of normality!
6/700 is a very rough estimate but a typical day at the moment is
1/2 Weetabix & ss milk or ready brek - 1 1/2 tbsp
home made veg soup with added marinated tofu or cheese for added protein -about 2 tbsp
Cauliflower cheese or beef stew or mince - 2 to 3 tbsp
Snacks - Greek yoghurt or custard made up with Splenda or marinated tofu pieces
Hope that helps.

Im the same tried everything the doctors have suggested but its been 4 weeks for me 2 weeks pre op 2 weeks post op. I cant manage food anymore and im in so much pain with it feel dizzy constantly. I have been so well after the op and not had any pain the only thing that is getting to me is this. Going back to the doctors in the morning as im really struggling hopefully they will be able to help. Hope you get sorted soon dont leave it any longer like I did

I would say u need movical or softener . The laxatives compound your bm to a hard mass if not. Because you not eating much it gets stored n made hard. Softener all the way I found when previously banded. You need to educate your bowel to move soft poo along. Hope this helps
previous bander, now awaiting by pass or sleeve this year.
