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.

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

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.

Help guys. Doc says nothing to worry about but hubby and I are

Hi all Hoping for some ideas and advice. I am six months post op and are getting married in six weeks. I would like to have a drink or two at my wedding. Can anyone suggest what they have tried and how it reacted. Oh and I don't drink wine. Thanx guys.

I'm six months out and still can not tolerate bread milk or dairy can eat minuscule amounts of pork and chicken and fish. Mind you I am still only eating about 80 grams of food at a time. And losing 1 - 1.5 kg a wk. see surgeon tomorrow to review y.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Just to clarify. This is also Louise Aussie. I forgot user name. Thanks guys.

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.

Update. Oh yay. Just had ultrasound. Gall stones and gas? Now to see what doc says. Anyone else had same issues?

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.

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.

Hey in Australia my doc does by keyhole surgery. No drains or anything and uses dissolvable stitches. Great no catching or tourture having them removed. Just leave dressing on for four days take it off and away u go. Everything is internal.

Thanx all. Can't seem to get anyone to add. My handle on mfp is loula1973 if you wanna add me.

Hey Susie. I was sleeved 3/22 I've lost 26 pounds and have been hospitalized four times since having it done. I struggle mostly with my fluids and only eat very little. But I'm doing ok. And sleeping great. Was sleeping 2-3 hours a night before vsg. Now sleep an easy 8-10.

What a fantastic tool. I'm on now. Please share with me.

Sleeve 3/22. Down 26.4 pounds. Had my ups and downs. Still struggling with fluid and excersize but wouldn't change anything.

Hey all. Just an update. Ended up back in hospital today. Extreme dehydration and doc think may have a blockage that has been causing all the pain and not being able to eat problems. Plans a gastroscope tomorrow. But on a brighter note stall has finally ended and down to 113.4kg now. Not bad at week 5 from 131.9 at booking and 125.8 at date of surgery. Cheers

Hey daly God I was exactly the same as u. I was in and out of hospital for ten days. I am now 5 weeks post op and still major struggles with eating. Keep ya chin up if u want someone to share with drop me an email. I have found just a little more each day. But major struggles with Fluid. Try watered down juice. I find it a little easier to drink Good luck.

Heya one proud papa March sleeved here. I've had plenty of lows but cruising along slowly. No weight loss since discharge from hospital was in 10 days and lost 8 kilos. Gone down 3 dress sizes though. How u doin.

Hi guys. Thanx for support and words of encouragement. New focus today. scales put in shed. Diarise everything I eat. Try drink more than a litre and walk walk walk. See doc week tomorrow so we will see if it works. Wish me luck.

Very interesting thread. I am currently sitting in the hospital emergency room. I have pain every single time I eat or drink anything. I am four weeks post op can only eat about 90g three times a day push Down a liter of fluid with pain and have lost nothing in three weeks and I am being told this is perfectly normal. Scared shitless and very dispondent is all I can say. Don't know what to do. Thankyou for your thread. I think I may be seeking a second opinion.
