Bypass 30th Mar - v nervous

Hi I had my gall bladder out nearly 10 years ago now. Nothing changes with your eating. You can live quite happily with no gall bladder. Pain free. Just message me if you have any questions

Hi Spidereyes, I had my bypass surgery in November, like you most of

my socialising was around eating out, and I too was worried about

whether I would eat 'normally' again.

It takes time to adjust but I'm still enjoying eating out, I find it helps if I

focus on what I can eat rather than what I can't eat, that way I don't feel

I'm missing out.

There will always be something you can eat, I started by just having

soup, not wildly exciting but at least I could join in. Now I tend to have

two starters as this is all I can manage or I ask for a child's portion.

Despite my initial worries I am so pleased that I had the surgery, I'm still

finding out what I can and cannot eat as it seems to change on a daily

basis, but it is getting better and I can honestly say I have had no regrets.

Take it slowly and follow the advice from your consultant. I wish you

every success, take care and look after yourself, best wishes Lenora

Hiiiyaa I had my gastric bypass on 6th December 2014 in 3 months I lost 4 stone! Best decision I ever made my confidence is up and I feel great, after the op I was in a lot of pain but the man who also had his op same day as me seemed fine, bit obviously everybody is different, I did regret the op almost straight away wen I got home cos it was so close to Xmas and I knew I wud hate not being able to eat proper, and I also felt depressed the first couple of weeks at the thought of never eating proper again, but don't let it discourage it's so worth it, I have suffered with my weight since I was a kid and I am so glad now that it's finally changing, the main place I want to lose it is my stomach but I ain't losin it as much there really but my face and arms and legs I have but my dietician says that's normal, u may feel fed up at the thought of never Eatin proper again, I meas about and say to my family oh god I wish I cud just order a takeaway just once, but I stil wud never ever change my decision cos the feeling of losin weight is better than any takeaway ️xx

Hi Spidereyes, I feel exactly the same, have told family as need their support ,we always go for dinner & Mother's Day ect. I am on day 20 of the milk diet, I've lost 11lb on this liquid only diet but it's very tiring . I have an appointment on March 30th to see how I've done, then hope to get a date for bypass op at Luton & Dunstable hospital. Good luck. Marilyn x
