Hi, I'm 18 days out and not been to the toilet (poo) for over a week and when I last went it was just let yellow lumpy Water. Whats the 'norm' for going? I've been drinking orange juice... even had a small portion of bran soaked in lots of milk yesterday, but still no result... I'm puting on weight too!!!

When was your surgery Angela? Well done on feeling so good

Hi, Going good here, although the weather is a bit frosty today - had hailstones this afternoon! I too think I'm going to find it difficult to connect he fact that I 'can' eat- ie put things in my mouth and swallow - but thats as far as it goes - it will stick... how do you all cope with this? I have found so far that when I have had a yogurt (i'm only just two weeks out) thatI think I may have eaten it too fast because of this.. any help appreciated. Also - what types of protein shakes/drinks do you all have in the UK? I've just been taking slimfast as I can't seem to find anything else - and its enjoyable.

Hi all, I'm a fellow Scot - ScottishLassie - I live in Aberdeenshire - whereabouts are you? I got sleeved on 11th October. Doing ok so far - still off work and got another week to go. I find sleep and movement so much easier than I did before now - but get sleepy now and then. I figure its just my bodys way of telling me to rest. Today is 14 days out for me - I'm now onto purreed food - know what you mean about feeling like theres a golf ball lodged there - its in my chest and back for me... how long does this last for? How long are you all taking over your meals? How much do you drink in a day? Selena
