Recently we’ve seen a new phenomenon. More and more people that I come across with are opting for a weight loss surgery. When I say weight loss surgeries, I’m talking in the collection because there are different type of weight loss surgeries. Although the end goal for all surgeries is very similar same, the method in which such surgeries are done varies from one to another.

Let’s talk about… food after weight-loss surgery

For those of you who haven’t seen our previous posts yet, my husband Alan and I both got a Gastric Bypass done at Irmet Hospital in Turkey. I get a lot of questions about what our food intake looks like now and immediately after surgery, so below I’m going to highlight our experience with re-introducing food to our new, much smaller stomach.

• “You’ve gained a bit of weight haven’t you?”
• “If you want to live to grow old, you need to lose weight now while you’re still young.”
• “You take after your [insert relative/ancestor’s name here], she was also overweight.”
• “Why don’t you follow this diet, I’ve lost the 8kg I had gained with it.”
  “Speak to [insert nutritionist name here], I lost 10kg with her fitness-challenge.”
• “Cut out sweets and soft-drinks and eat more veg u tara kif tonqos malajr”
• “Skip that movie and go for a walk instead.”
• “Jahasra if only you lose weight, you’ll be so beautiful u forsi xi darba jigbrok xi hadt”
