I had some 5 weeks out and was fine

Thanks everyone. I'm 2 and a half months post op. It only happened for the first time last week though. I've had some mixed answers so I'll definately go ahead with the test.

It changes all the time for me. Sometimes I lose 5lbs a week sometimes 2lbs. But I'm always losing everyday so I'm happy. You should expect to have stalls, pretty much everyone does and my surgeon and nut say its very normal

Hi everyone. So something happened to me that I am kinda scared about. Last Thursday I was leaving the house, I got to my car and sat down and suddenly I smelled something so overpowering that nausea came over me, I was gagging and coughing and just felt really sick. This morning the same thing happened. I smelled something, got nauseous and had to rush to the bathroom. Has this happened to anyone after surgery??? I am really scared that I'm pregnant. I'll take a test tomorrow but has anyone had similar experience?

There are lots of ways to make friends but it can be difficult, here are some ideas I thought of: Join a club Introduce yourself to someone at the gym Use mutual friends, do you have an acquaintance you think could be a friend? Get a current friend to introduce you to his friends. This one has worked a charm for me in the past. Find a new hobby Remember to try and accept every invitation you get. Once you start turning things down no one will invite you anymore Maybe you have a work mate you could invite for a few drinks Volunteer to help a charity Take a night class You could try meeting someone at a bar. I'm 20 and I've done this but the friends never last. On the other hand my boyfriend has had mates for 10+ years that he met at bars. He is very social though, way more then me. If you have a girlfriend or wife, set up a double date with one of her friends and her husband. This is how I met my best friend plus many others. I hope this helps!!

Don't worry!!!!! The exact same thing happened to me. I asked my surgeon he said it was 100% normal. The body loses weight, then it needs to stabilize at that weight before it starts losing again. I have started losing again now but I didn't for about 2 weeks. You will start again too don't worry

I think it's best to read everything you can before you have surgery. You need to know the good, bad and the ugly before you can make a decision. You need to weigh up the risks and see if its worth it for you

I wasn't supposed to but I had acrylic nails on. They said it was fine for me to take the nail polish off my toes instead of ruining my fingernails nails I got the week before haha

Wow !!

I had 3 glasses of wine at a girls night out last night and I was tipsy. It used to take 6-8 just to get tipsy. It's pretty funny, I'm such a cheap date now, don't need dinner, get tipsy off 3 wines hahahah

I had Chinese food for valentines day, I shared Mongolian lamb with my partner. I had one small spoon of fried rice and 3 pieces of lamb. I was full but I had no problems. Maybe you ate to fast or to much?

My doc says you can have whatever you feel comfortable with. I tried a tiny sip of fizzy drink and my tummy was so upset I wouldn't try it again for a few months if ever. My nut told me that some people open the bottle, leave it in the fridge open for a few hours then drink it. It's kind of flat but helps with the pain and discomfort. I have tried it but I don't really feel the need. I was a coke zero addict before surgery, I would drink 2-3 litre bottles. now I haven't had any in months and I don't feel like it

Hi I'm 20 and I was sleeved 1/21/13. Don't forget to walk walk walk whenever you have gas pains. It helps so much!! If you have an questions or just want to chat message me. It's nice to have someone the same age to talk to

Woah you look great!!

Thanks!! it's nice to have such great feedback

Thank you!!! I was sleeved 21/1/13 and the dress is a size 14, my highest was size 24. The back doesn't quite do up but I'm so close hahah

Start weight: 246lbs Current weight: 196lbs I have a long way to go but I'm feeling good today. I bought this dress to Celebrate being in the 80kg range woohoo

I always weigh after a poop, I never weigh before hand to see the difference though, I just poop then weigh. I also get naked, take off my jewelry and hop on and off like 3 times, just to be sure hahah

Whatever is comfortable for you. I started having sex again 2 weeks post op

Yay congrats!!! I feel the same so glad I did this. Are you exercising? I was sleeved jan 21st started at 246 now I'm 200.

I'm 5 weeks out and I'm the same with getting hungry, about 30mins-1 hour after I eat I'm hungry again. I'm trying to get my protein in but I'm getting about half what I'm supposed to everyday. I'm down 46lbs, 26lbs was Pre op. I'm loving life too!! My clothes are looser and people are complementing me about the loss. Are you exercising?

Sorry!! These ones had: 6 eggs 200g bacon 1 and 3/4 sheets frozen puff pastry Small handful of cheese (didn't weigh) 1 spring onion (long green thing)

This is my one month update. Start weight 247lbs, current 201lbs. I'm 5'5 and 20 years old.

Breakfast: up and go energizer Lunch: vita weet lunch square with lettuce, chicken breast, avocado, cucumber and mayo Dinner: lamb shank This changes daily but this is today's list.

My process was pretty easy. My insurance approved the surgery then I made an appointment with two different surgeons who I couldn't choose between. I had one clear winner I chose to be my surgeon. The first appointment they weigh you and talk about how you eat and exercise. They explain the whole procedure and what to expect. You can ask heaps of questions etc. Then I had blood tests, X-ray, ultra sound and an ECG. Then it was surgery time!
