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??
