It's so interesting to hear from people who have had the surgery and how they feel. Do you eat normally yet?

Hi Sam.
Where are you having your surgery?
I'm 6 weeks post-op sleeve, and I love it...
I can now eat almost everything (struggled a bit with certain fish) but really small portions - I eat less than my 7, 5 & 3 year old kids!
This is a great place where you can ask anything.
Good luck

Well I've had a few problems with my allergies but had them before op but now a bit worse. I can't get on with meat or poultry but fish is fine. I can't eat bread or rice but can have a bit if pasta. Portions very small & never hungry.
I go out to eat regularly but can only manage a little so try to go to top quality restaurants. I usually have a starter as a main course or have a main course but can only manage a 1/3 to half of it. So now normal for me.
It is amazing how you adapt. I used to live to eat but now eat to live - ie for good nutritional value to keep me healthy. I am finding my new approach actually fairly easy to be honest now I'm not so stressed about what to eat & will I tolerate it etc.
Weight loss has been so fantastic & liberating from my chronic back pain & immobility. I was a size 30 now a size 20 is a bit big & buying 18's.
I still love food, cooking, watching food programmes, reading foodie magazines. I even belong to the Clandestine Cake Club & bake. Just don't eat much anymore. It is the strangest but wonderful feeling I've ever experienced in my life.

So inspirational - that's exactly why I'm doing this
