  1. Might be a good Idea to call your doctor and see what they recommend

  3. It's also can be a side affect of rapid weight loss
  4. I'm in Aus so products may differ - my doc told me to take fibre but only BENIFIBRE brand as it is the only one that doesn't grow or something in the stomach. I had heaps of this and prune juice, it took 2 days of this but was regular after that
  5. I can't feel mine but know its in exactly the same spot
  6. I had it pretty bad until about day 4 or 5, on an off. I used Voltarin emugel on it which really helped.. Am in Aus so may have different product I am 2 weeks post op and have been getting it randomly when I've been overdoing it and straining myself.. Which is really weird because it is meant to be from gas pains.. Anyone else had this?
  7. I never had to be on 'clear liquids' except whilst in hospital.. 2 weeks liquids only including 3 or more Protein shakes a day.. Even liquid yoghurt etc. I was also banded on the 26th and I go onto purée / mushies on Monday. So 2 weeks normal liquids, 2 - 3 weeks mushies then introducing soft foods and normal foods
  8. Well done!!! Must be an amazing feeling! One that i am certainly looking forward to
  9. Not silly! Well done! Am very happy for you
  10. Ditto.. Was normal for me... Don't be afraid to pass wind if you can get that out
  11. Elodie.landerson mentioned them in a post on the 2nd or 3rs December. I was going to ask dietitian about this and more in mosay Elodie said: -Sweet Potatoes- Sweet potatoes unlike most other vegetables are higher in calorie content but are worth all of them. Sweet potatoes contain resistant starch, which produces compounds to signal to the brain to stop eating. The bulk in sweet potatoes fills the stomach so you feel full. Carotenoids in nsweet potatoes stabilize blood sugar levels and lowers insulin resistance.
  12. Checking in at 228.2 lbs (103kg) from 235.9 lbs (107kg) a week ago. Down 7.7 lbs
