*Lib*

I am at this stage now, I am not sure if I want to lose much more, but I am really at a loss to stop losing. I am doing no exercise and constantly losing. I don't want to look unwell which I am starting to :confused1:

Don't stress guys I am in Australia, so very unlikely you'll have the same surgeon!

Yep I think alot of us have had that. Not sure of the cause, but even now 5 months out I rarely do a normal movement. Its all in a hurry!!

Good job on getting home early. The first few days are pretty tough. Just remember to keep sipping water at least. I was lucky too, I didn't have the shoulder tip pain either!! Woo Hoo!!

Thanks, I am on nexium, or was, I am now on somac. Things are finally great for me, I am 4moths post op, 31kg down and starting to feel fantastic!

I usually have cuppa soup and cruskits!

I am 4 months uot and Advil gives me major reflux.

Thats great Steve, I am four months out and I still get the foam. :scared0:

I am on 20mg in the am and 20mg in the pm.

Yep I did see him, I had an endoscopy and they cleaned out food that was stuck in my throat.

Yep, my husband had me running to be sick everytime he came inside after a smoke, its setteled down now though.

My sence of smell is hightened, putting me off lots of food and cigarettes (Which is a good thing!) But I couldn't stay awake, sorry can't help you there!

On another VSG forum I go on there is 2 sleevers pregnant, one due in 9 weeks and another next week. Send me a message if you want the address.

Hi everyone. I had my sleeve done on the 20th April 2009, in Brisbane Australia. I have had a fairly rough trott. The first couple of weeks were good, I got thru clears and fluids ok, just as I was about to make the transition to solids, I started to be sick. I would vomit first thing in the morning, and then feel sick all day, sometimes vomiting at night too. I went to see my surgeon and he said it was most likely because I wasn't taking anything for reflux, he hadn't told me to, so I didn't. Claims he told me that I should be taking nexium for 6 weeks post surgery:thumbdown:. Anyway I was still pretty sick, couldn't keep anything down, nothing appealed to me, and I got dehydrated. Dad hired me a nurse who stayed with me for a few days and after a couple of trips to the ER I finally got admitted for 3 days and put on fluids. Then I realised that it was up to me to force myself to eat (Who would have ever thought I'd have to force myself to eat!!?) I am now 8 weeks out and still unable to eat much. But I am getting there. I still don't feel well, but I guess its just a matter of time. I kind of feel like I have taken a big Vitamin pill and its stuck in my throat. That feeling is constantly there and I think its that making me feel sick. So I can't wait to get eating "normally" and feeling better so I can't start to get some exercise in. For all those who don't do kg's I have lost close to 43 pounds. Honestly I am not at the stage that I can say its the best thing I have ever done, but I am sure it will be!! Everyone is noticing my weightloss, but I can't enjoy it cause I feel so terrible.

Hmm maybe I did it in the do you regret the sleeve thread? Weird!!

Sorry I thought I came back and updated. They found a sore in my throat that is likely from the initial surgery that is taking a while to heal ( I'd say due to me vomitting daily) and I also had food stuck in my throat They cleaned all that out and I don't have the reflex to be sick anymore. I still feel sick in my tummy, but I think that might be due to being hungry so I am trying to up my intake again.

I think that you just peel the lychees and eat them like grapes?

I had mine today: Hi guys just checking in and updating how I went today. Had my endoscopy. He said there is a scratch in my throat that is healing, and there was food lodged in my throat, which he cleaned out. Asked me if I had eaten a passionfruit recently, I had kiwi fruit yesterday :thumbup1: So he could see where that had lodged! So After cleaning me out it feels soother, I don't feel like I need to be sick now, so obviously it was the food lodged in my throat that was sitting somewhere that was causing me to retch! My Dr was really nice today and I hope that now I can finally get some food in! I managed some chicken and vegies for dinner, so hopefully I might be on my way back!!

Today I regret having the surgery, I have lost 20kg, but I too have no appetite, I constantly feel sick, I can't eat solid food, I am 8 weeks out. Today I am having an endoscopy to see why I feel sick and why I have restriction in my throat, so hopefully I will find out why I am having so many issues and finally be able to celebrate my weightloss.

Well tomorrow I am having an endoscopy!! Hopefully they can find out what my problem is!! FINALLY!

I am definitely not over eating. And I am fairly certain that I am not getting the required protein. My surgeon has been less than helpful post surgery, I was admitted with dehydration and he treeated me like I was stupid, so I really hate to go see him if I don't need to, I guess I just need to bite the bullet and do it.

Thats great news! Well done Colin!

The sleeve was my first and last ever WLS.

I have had wine, but I believe that it makes you silly quickly, and lots less than normal needed to do that! I avoid carbonated mixers with anything.

I am 7 weeks post op from Brisbane. My surgeon is based at greenslopes and I was done at Sunnybank. I paid for my own op so not sure about the APRA wait, sorry. But best of luck to you for a quick journey!
