what a great thread. Feeling a little demotivated because the weight loss has slowed down to normal pace and I know I must drink the protein shakes but they seem like so many calories. Good luck to everyone due to go in this week

Hi Llora how are you now? Its been a while now since your surgery. Is your tool working for you? X

Oh yes i had my bypass back in september. so it does feel like ages ago cant believe how fast the time is flying.

I am sure the bypass is working. i somehow think that i am still at the easy part of the journey and the weightloss later (after so called honeymoon period) or maintaining the weight in the future will be the hard bit! But i am trying to learn new ways and form new habits that would help me in the future. But you can never guess what the future is going to be like until you are there

I wish the weight would fall off faster.. but who doesnt? wish the weight would fall as fast as my poor hair... And yes the hairloss is terrible..

I still struggle with getting enough protein and fluids in So that does not help But i am doing my best and trying hard every single day so hopefully in time i will get there

Btw, good luck for you!! Your surgery day is almost here

Aww llora the weight will come off soon than you think. Apparently stalls are common. How much have you lost so dar??? And what foods are you finding the most difficult? Any what things can you no longer eat gone off now?? X

 

[SHARONA]

Ladies ladies! Counting down in hours now! Hope everyone is feeling good!

Thank you so much as for me Im getting quite nervous but a little excited and cant stop thinking am i doing the right thing? . Preparing is so hectic as i was trying to do a little Christmas shopping but not pay day till Friday and i will hopefully be post op day 1. Oh well got what i can . Just hoping i can be up about and driving by week 3 but who knows. This tiredness sounds awful with so many people not looking forward to that and wind ! X

Wow two stone by xmas that's great. What's your loss so far! I hadn't really thought about an xmas goal. Although I need 11lbs from my official recorded weight with provider by 16th dec. so that's another 3lbs. I'm just not feeling convinced I'll get any further than this tbh! Having a bit of a low day!

I could have fills in Cardiff too actually. But I'm familiar with the birmingham clinic now. But if in future I wasn't able to get one in Birmingham I would go to cardiff.

I've not had any fruit either actually!!
I've been having veggies and salad type of stuff but not fruit. But I guess. Veggies are better for you anyway!!

Attempting a corn beef hash tomorrow!!! Wish me luck haha! Xx

 

[jlb5686]

ive never made one before so it s kind of an experiment haha. I dunno I'm a scale hopper and the scales have frozen since I started eating! And I've not had more then 800 cals (not even reached 800!) but they've frozen. So not looking at a great loss of any come thur. And it's a little down heartening when that'll only be my second wi post op!! And I know I need to be patient! It's just like I could have eaten and done slimming world and lost. And yet nothing this week. I don't weight properly until thur though. So there's still time! Xx

hi I think the weight loss stops as our bodies get rehydrated and guts fill up. I have found it demoralising too as I only eat 800 or so calories.
