I have been drinking wine since 3 1/2 weeks out, had no problems and didn't seem to get drunk or anything? I had vodka with flat lemonade last night was also fine, haven't had beer yet, I Am 5 weeks now, will wait for another couple of months, I took 1 sip and it fully bloated me!

I haven't done much exercise ... I stalled on day 11, but lost again on day 17.. Should really pick up on exercise but I hate it!!

I was sleeved the same day, well done to you, are you doing any exercise? Have you stalled yet?

Thanks, I'm day 16 now, so hoping it breaks soon ... Eeeek!

Im not freaking out too much but I stalled at day 11, but has anyone else stalled that early? How long did it last? Thanks

Why aren't we allowed to chew gum? I have been chewing it still on the odd occasion and not feel any different?

When people start noticing (the people i dont want to know bout my surgery) and asking How did i do it.... with me I am just going to say I have cut down drinking alcohol (used to b a big drinker), I'm exercising more and on a high protein low fat diet... And hey I'm not lying???

That would be awesome, are they expensive over there though?

3 weeks liquids only 3 weeks puréed diet Then onto normal food, I am 11 days post op, can't wait for day 21 to go on puréed - 10 days to go!!

I have done it twice now, you get sick of the soup very quick, but lose bout 5kg in a week... U will look forward to steak day

I am 9 days post op and still got the bruises, it's from where the put the blood thinner injections into your tummy, nothing to b worried bout... I had 3 in total

I am on day 9, and still on liquid stage til day 21, i am a bit worried I am able to drink too much, I just made a cup of soup with bout 200-250ml (6.7oz-8.4oz) of water and drunk it in 1/2 hour with little or no pain, my book says I should be drinking 125ml (4.2oz) every half hour... Its not with everything, but i just noticed how quick i just drunk it, I am worried and don't want to stretch my sleeve... What amount is everyone drinking at around 9 days out? Anyone else doing this?

Just tried walking more, then got crippling pain, so that's off my list for now hehe.. My Optifast shakes are 1/2 strength so rather than 200ml, I add 400ml of Water, I refuse to take my pain meds ATM as I can not stomach them... Not sure if we have Tylenol or loritab in new Zealand, what do they do?

How far out are you?

Thanks for the encouragement, I will look into the ginger tea thing, that's if I would b able to find any here??

Thank you, I am looking forward to day 7, sick of feeling sick and forcing Protein and meds in me (even tho I havent had any today) the thought of it makes me want to vomit

We don't have gas - x strips in new Zealand, I have read so much bout how good they are in this forum, what do they have in them? I am on gastro soothe - 2x tablets 3x daily, but I have to have them crushed in Water and they taste foul, can't stand them!

Today I'm not feeling too good, I feel like I can't stomach anything, don't want my meds or my Protein shake, feel like crap, I can't laugh, sneeze,cough or walk too far with out bottom left of my Tum feeling like a deep pinch/pull/burn!! Felt like I was going to collapse in the shower and needed fresh air as I felt dizzy. All I want is to gulp ice cold Water and even that hurts a little when I sip I get a big gas bubble and pain and try to burp.. I felt so much better the day after my surgery, feel like I'm going down hill, i am losing weight tho.. Any one else had these feelings?

Oh please let me know how i get on to secret fb page

I usually have no problem either!! But because when you have surgery they blow you up with gas it's a bit harder since the gas isn't actually in your stomach, getting frustrating and the gas pain in sore

Well guys, was sleeved this morning, I'm bout 11 hours out and still haven't passed gas, and it can be sore (just under my breasts) sort of like a cramp, have been walking up and down the halls but nothing happening frustrating!! Hoping to pass gas ASAP so I can go home tomorrow

I'm 25, getting sleeved on Monday 30th July.. Not long to go eeeek!! Anybody feel free to add me to chat

Know the feeling!! I'm July 30th also eeeek!!

Thank you so much for the replies, it is great to hear from people who have been thru the same thing as I am going through! I just want everything to be over with. But I know I will have to get through some obstacles first, let's hope they aren't too big! Every time I get worried I will just come back to this post and read the awesome support I am getting, thanks again
