Hi Liz
thats whats I find confusing, nationally all the diferent advise pre and post op. Was told quite clearly by the dietician NOT to start purees any sooner than 4 weeks. To be honest the fluid thing has been a pain, intolerant to milk, getting the runs when drinking the fortimel. Feel knackered but I am sure all the other Manor Bypass patients have weathered the same storm, so, will plod on LOL x

Hope you are feeling better every day Liz! How amazing to not feel hungry at all I hope you have a quick recovery now and some fab losses x

Hi Liz. I think you've done amazing honey. 9 pounds off....woohooo! I gained 4 kgs post-op! I'm so glad you're home and on that Losers' bench already!

Take it easy now, you've got lots of healing to do after all your re-plumbing!
Big hugs.xxx

Hi Liz
thats whats I find confusing, nationally all the diferent advise pre and post op.
all teams are different so its best to follow your own dieticians plans for you.
Was told quite clearly by the dietician NOT to start purees any sooner than 4 weeks.
i feel quite lucky being able to move to purree so quickly and ive just managed 1 weetabix with milk for my tea, ido feel for you having to stay on liquids all that time x

Hi Nina this is so weird as with both my bands i always felt the sensation of hunger, i was told this would change once bypassed, i didnt believe it but it has, i have no appatite what so ever and i like that feeling that the band never gave me in the past.
I hope you have a quick recovery now and some fab losses x

im feeling ok tonight my pain is becoming less, they said for me to not look at the weight losses to much as it will automatically come off in time....we shall see x

 

[cah-ching]

it will come off

Can I ask how much you've left to lose now?

Welcome back Liz :clap:

 

[Bev]

Well done Liz... 9lbs is amazing.... and make sure you get plenty of rest... get your 'Directors Chair' in place and relax.... love and hugs xxx

 

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

Hi CC approx 4-5 st to get to a normal bmi, which i never managed with the bands, 3rd time lucky hopefully, on the positive side im still 5st lighter than when i started with my 1st band x

Welcome back Liz :clap:

Thanks for the warm welcome back from everyone xxxx

 

[cah-ching]

You're amazing!

Good luck. You won't need it though.

I recall you saying a looooong time ago that you were concerned you wouldn't qualify for bypass because of the amount of weight you had to lose. Obviously you did, so I'm wondering whether your bypass is a short one because you don't need to lose the enormous amounts of weight others have to.

thats something i didnt get around to asking CC, im just glad to be through the op as it was very complicated, i was in theatre from 9.30 am till 2.30 ish and i wasnt put back on ward till 4.30, im just glad my surgeon had the skills to get me through this as i know im lucky to be here in reality, i will ask though next time im in for a review x
