I hear ya. I had my op in February and this is my first month clear. Had about a couple of days a month clear but constant bleeding from the off. Dr changed my bc pill to combined instead of progesterone only and that seems to have done the trick. Forget extra precautions..my hubby not allowed near lol:D

I have memory loss, feeling stupid in general and had massive dizzy/blacking out spells. Turns out the dizzy spells are unrelated to surgery as I went and got myself labrynthitus (swelling in the inner ear) so it all adds to the VSG fun...still love my ((sleeve)) though

I'm a daily weigher as well, always have been. I used to find if I didn't weigh myself daily I would gain, so by weighing myslef everyday I can see trends and keep the weight loss on track. Doesn't work for eveyone but I prefer to do it this way. I only record my weightloss/gain on one day (Tuesday) though.

Kabranda, That info is invaluable thank you. I am going to print it off and put it on my fridge, will really help make sure i'm doing everything right. So your about a week behind me, how you finding it and how you getting on.

I was so pleased to have found the world according to egg face site, can not do Protein shakes at ALL! Thanks to this site, I have been putting the shakes into my ice cream maker and I admit I have a small amount of chocolate sauce on but have to say it is bearable. However, had to scrap that idea as 20 minutes after the protein, I had slimes for over 2 hours :scared0:...think I will just have to stick to food puree for my protein, darn it!

Would love to chat to you guys....but being from over the pond, your always in bed when i'm online and vice versa :sad0:. I am hoping to move to the states in a couple of years though :huh0:.

Welcome to the club, Hope your feeling better soon, home the same day, that's amazing xx.

I know what you mean last few days been getting pass out dizzy spells, when I get up too quick and just randomly too...and I get the hiccups. My appointment to see my surgeon is not for another 4 weeks (they only see you after the first 6 weeks here), so let me know what they say about your dizzy spells. Hope they get better for you soon x.

Thanks for that Barb, showers all the way from now on lol.

Thanks for your reply itstime, think it's a bit weird being cold all the time, have never felt the cold before . It's all one big learning curve lol. So you were sleeved in December, how are you doing?

Thanks for that. Sitting with a lovely hot bean bag as we speak, just can't seem to shift the chills lol. It was my last shot today so hopefully i'll start to warm up soon.

OMG! No they never said anything about not bathing. The district nurse that came to change my dressings told me to bath to my waist so as to not get the dressings wet, but the dressings have been off for just over a week now. Maybe that's what caused the dizzy spell. Will make sure I shower from now on and will speak to my surgeon when I go back in 4 weeks. Thanks for that.

Mamab3, I thought it was just me, I can relate to every word you just said. I have no trouble drinking regular sips of tea, coffee, water juice or anything either. It had crossed my mind that they hadn't really done anything to me, the only thing I have to go on is that my surgeon said I left you with a very thin sleeve only. ..oh and about 5 surgery marks lol. I haven't lost anything since the first week, so really starting to worry now. The guys on here seem to know what they are talking about, hang in there i'm sure we're not alone and someone will offer us their pearls of wisdom from their experiences.
