great news fee keep up the good work hope they dont want me on red meat post op i hate red meat

I'm not anymore either. I usually have quorn but she said to try and have red meat twice a week for the iron as ur body absorbs it different from the iron in veg such as broccoli etc. The only time I have red meat is if I do a slow cook stew so I'm gonna have to freeze a few portions I think x
 
i dont even have it in the house at all im all white meat guess if they want me on red i will look for alternatives i have froze all my slow cook leftovers from casseroles etc and shepherds pies all done with pork and porkl mince hope i will be able to tolerate them

Do u know when ur having ur op yet?
 
Well all went well at my Derby appt. The dietician was very pleased with me and couldn't believe how well I looked considering I was so Ill after the op but all that seems long gone now! I've lost 2st 2lb since the op 5st 10 in total! Only thing was she said I need to get a bit more red meat in a week but other than that all good! X

Fee that's great :)) she told me I needed more meat but I really struggle to eat it. 5st 10lb is amazing!!! Are you at the next meeting? Xx
 
No not yet have an appointment on the 22nd Jan. Think it's the pre op tho not sure. Last time I saw the dietician she said your next appointment will be your pre-op. But the letter just says your further appointment "/... X

I had appointment which I thought was pre op but ended up just being dietician and consultant.. They checked I hadn't put any weight on. I got my appointment then and had pre op 2 days before my op.. Hope it all goes well for you xx

Thanks badger pink, I'm gonna be at the next one, have booked a days leave as last time I ended up having to work.. You have done amazing with your weight loss so far, they will be really pleased with you... Everything I went through in first couple of weeks all seams so long ago now. Other than having restriction and dumping I don't feel like I've had surgery. My weight has stalled for the last 2 weeks but I found a pair of trousers yesterday that I couldn't get on previously. Ironed them and put them on and they were massive on me. So even though weight has stalled I'm still losing inches. Wish I'd of measured myself at the beginning. Good luck with appointment, and hopefully see you at next meeting xx
