I am 6 weeks post op and have lost 26 & 1/2lb (12kg).

I have had a dream run. Post op pain was minimal. Well controlled with medication and off meds by day 5

the 2 week fluid diet was a struggle purely because I had such a desire for solid food.

I think that my vegan diet and it's fibre and water content is why I have had absolutely no constipation. I actually go twice a day just like I did before surgery.

I eat vegetables, legumes and beans and fruit. I drink a vegan protein water to up the protein. Bariatric vitamins and a greens powder (spirulina, barley greens etc). If I make a smoothie I use hemp powder.

Life is quite exciting as the weight peels off.
