  2. Ugh. I threw up pretty much everything for the first five months. My issue now is I think not eat enough. I am eating much better than before about every four hours and stop at first pain otherwise it all comes up. I envy those who can eat heaps. I'm two or three spoons full and that's it.

  4. I was sooooo sick post surgery. They found sludge six weeks out by week ten had gallbladder out they found in excess of 800 stones. Haven't looked back. If its on offer to remove my advice is do it. The pain from sludge and stones is awful. Gd luck
  5. Sorry lets try that again. Doc says all ok nothing to worry about buy hubby and I are concerned. I was sleeved 3/22 this year and are still losing 1 - 1.5 kilo a week. Total of 55 kilo so far. I have hit my goal and passed it already. I have only had 1 stall at three weeks post op for two weeks. The rate I'm going there gonna be nothing of me. Has anyone else had similar problem and did it slow. Don't get me wrong. Happy about loss and feel great. Still not sleeping overly well but all bloods doc did are normal. Just wondering if it normal six months out to still be losing big numbers. Thanx.
  6. Help guys. Doc says nothing to worry about but hubby and I are

  10. Oh. I feel u. I have the same problem and also the omg u are fading away comments. I just wanna wear my sweats to work.
  11. We refer to my gurgles as my little aliens. My work colleagues are great and just giggle and support me. My doc says that they will come and go. Something about air pockets. But no harm.
  12. Hi guys A little advice please. Was sleeved 3/22/12. Since then lost 83 pounds. Everyone stressed I lost too much too soon. All bloods are perfectly normal and doc says will slow down when good and ready. It has slowed to about 1.8 pound a week. Anyone else had similar experience.
  13. Thanx guys. Just worry. It to fast but after reading alot of stories mine seems pretty normal. Maybe I just have to get used to looking and feeling different.
  14. Hi Just to clarify. This is also Louise Aussie. I forgot user name. Thanks guys.
  15. Hi all. Been a while since posted. Anyone else after surgery get a major case of the blues. I am week six and for three days now have been at rock bottom. So sad all I do is cry all day. I can't talk with anyone cause I don't know myself y I feel like this. I still can't eat or drink much and haven't really slept in three days. I am in total dispare and really am quiet scared as this is deeply effecting my relationship and my work. Please share with me.
  16. Update. Oh yay. Just had ultrasound. Gall stones and gas? Now to see what doc says. Anyone else had same issues?
  17. Try this guys. It yum. Prawns crab or shrimp mayo ( I use egg mayo and tomato sauce) blend together into a paste and put in a light cracker. It's delish.
  18. I went three weeks with no weight loss. From week two. Then all of a sudden bam it's falling off. Hang in there. It starts again. I was going nuts. Thought I was doing something major wrong. Silly me.
