I there I am booked in for an omega loop gastric bypass revised from a stretched sleeve in Australia on the 29th May, is there anyone else here from Oz that's had the same op?

Good luck, I'm sure it will go really well for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :-)

Hey good luck, I had a sleeve done dec 2012, lost a heap of weight and then tummy stretched and everything went downhill from then on, suger, alcohol, chocolate, I'm sure you get the picture. I decided to have an omega loo Bypass done 29th May and haven't looked back since, no nausea, no hot flushes, no diarrhoea have lost 26kgs in 10 weeks, I'm absolutely over the moon

Anyone had this ? Haha

Hi, I'm 2 months post op today. To date iv'e lost 19.7kgs. Have had no pain, no nausea, no reflux whatsoever since the very beginning. Iv'e had dumping a couple of times just from eating too fast. I don't calories or grams, I just make sure I eat 3 high Protein meals and 2 Snacks in between. No problem with Fluid intake, probably drink a little too much if anything. Where are you having your surgery done?

Hi I take lithium, before surgery I took 450mg at morning and again at night. I had blood tests after surgery and my levels were through the roof (dangerously) my dr advised to only take 450mg and night and forget morning altogether. Since then I have been absolutely fine

Hi I have bipolar, I had my sleeve done in dec 12 and 6 weeks ago revised to a bypass . I've had no emotional issues at all. The only thing that has happened is that my medication has pretty much been halved Paul

I can't seem to find it on iBooks

This is a video I posted a little while ago

You do have another option , I was revised from a sleeve to an omega loop bypass other wise none as a mini bypass that can be reversed. Im 6 weeks post op, have had no complications at all and 40lbs down

You can use the eat slowly app, just use it as water instead of food

Hi I used tasteless protein powder to my clear broth/soups was it was heated up

Hi, just wanted to ask, what is your serving size now? Are you still on a 1/4 cup or has Jess told you to eat more also how May meals a day are you having? Thanks

You have done so well, your results are absolutely incredible, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be full of pride, I'm proud of you and I don't ever know you haha. My partner keep asking me to sign up for the city to surf this year, I'm not a runner but might just do the walk instead. I'm signed up for tough mudder at the end of the year so hopefully once I start to exercise again next week I can start working towards it. I saw Dr Dolan on Thursday and he was so chuffed with my results! he was joking saying lets just reverse it! I don't think you need it lol. So far 3 1/2 weeks since surgery and 13kgs down. Currently 115kgs and my goal is 90kgs although he thinks I will be too skinny at the weight coz I'm 6ft 4" but so far all good, still haven't felt full, no dumping and no nausea, so that must be good right. Although right I've still got a week to go on purée stage and I'm fresh out of ideas, it's killing me

Hi , all going really well thanks, back to work next Monday, kinda looking forward to it, I'm over this boredom lol. How are you doing?

Hi could you please send the list to me too Djpaulw@live.com.au Thank you

A positive attitude = guaranteed results

Being an ex personal trainer and nutritionist I can tell you my thoughts, your body cannot absorb more than 45grams of protein at any given time. And in fact it is a waste of calories. Any additional protein will put both your liver and kidney at high risk. It's also a well Known fact that you can gain a kinda coating of protein around your kidneys ( a coating of fat ) so it is definitely dangerous. I have worked with people, albeit 4 yrs ago that have had kidney issues because of this same reason. Of course feel free to google it for a second opinion. :-)

I have faith thank you. I am a band to a sleeve. Now will be going bypass because of severe reflux. I didn't want bypass was afraid of issues. I have always been regular at bathroom three to four a day. And afraid I will have issues with bypass. I had severe vomiting when I went to sleeve hospital stay of five days. But hearing the stories here I'm feeling a bit better. Did you have insurance issues because of conversion. Was you weight and bmi low. Thanks so much Hi, we have different insurance in Australia so there was no chance of being turned down, luckily. My BMi was only 35, but due to me having the same surgeon who saw the health problems I was starting to have, he was happy to operate on me. He gave me 3 options 1. RNY 2. Omega loop (mini bypass) , I can't remember the 3rd. After a long discussion we both agreed the option 2 was the best and was reversible to a point. As far as BM, I take a natural soft senna tablet twice a day, that keeps my regular daily. 2 1/2 weeks post op, touch wood, still no nausea and everything staying down

That's not good, wishing you all the best. Can I ask what drinking tea or coffee has to do with it please?

Found a link to a video that explains so well why we shouldn't eat and drink at the same time, well worth a look Enjoy http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=xR0VM3mnsgM

You're welcome , it's the best explanation I've seen

That's great to hear, you hear of so many bad side effects with people I'm just glad I haven't had any. So far so good I'm also managing to get all my protein and vitamins in, although I'm making a lot of soup and adding tasteless protein too it and going through jello like mad lol. I'm now 17 days post op and 22lbs loss since surgery, can't wait to purée stage now, lots of cooking and blending going on in my house right now

All with special meaning
