    lifting

    I was told no bending and lifting for 6 weeks. I doubt you have done any major damage but take it easy for a while now.

    pain and vomiting

    I am 4 months out on 3/14 and have similar problems. I am seeing my surgeon again on 24th and have to have a barium swallow before that. I do vomit quite often but have found the best way to cope is to have 6 small meals per day. I can't eat chicken breast but can tolerate chicken mince. Greek yoghurt, salmon, tuna, chicken mince, eggs are all good for Protein and I find they are easy to tolerate but I still can't have meat. Eat really really slow. Rest for about one minute between each mouthful. This tends to give you time to feel whether you are full and stop eating and hence prevent the vomitting. It takes me at least 30 - 45 minutes to eat each meal. I find some days better than others and if I am struggling I have a shake to get my protein quota. Keep up the Water and have isotonic drinks about 3 times a week. You may find things improve if not I am sure your surgeon will follow up with tests. Good luck.

    Pity party for one

    I think it's more about how this surgery affects the individual rather than where you live. Some people experience a lot of pain and some have very little.

    The three week stall lasts 3 weeks. You haven't lost anything in the last 45 minutes because you haven't had a poop. Vodka and Redbull is fine as long as the bull isn't too big and you'll know if you stretched your sleeve if you can still fit in another KFC Family Feast.

    What is 'pulled pork'? Maybe this should be in the Men's Forum.

    The great thread killer......

    Has diet cola and cheeseburgers been mentioned? No thread is complete without them. Oh, and this will boost it, I am writing this with a glass of wine in my hand !
  18. Over the last three weeks I have been able to eat less and less. I have reached the point where I can drink but if I eat I am sliming and vomitting for at least 2 hours. My surgeon wants to try and stretch my sleeve. I have been very happy with my weight loss but am now starting to have some problems ie. Low blood pressure,, dizziness. Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone had to have their sleeve stretched?
  19. OTR, what my surgeon is telling me is that he thinks I may have excessive scar tissue which is taking up food space. I really don't know what to think at this point, but I am feeling very weak and just want to eat.
  20. I don't know. I want to be slim but I don't want to be a skeleton.

    Attention ! Australian Sleevers

    Hi Aussies, I put this on a thread but I am keen for responses. Everything has been wonderful for me. I am very happy with my weight loss and all was going well until about 3 weeks ago. I am finding that I can eat less and less. I live on liquids and if I eat I slime and throw up for at least 3 hours. My surgeon wants to try and stretch my sleeve. Has anyone experienced this. I was sleeved on 14/11 and have lost 27 kg.

    My Exciting News

    My recovery has been great. I am so happy, I look 10 years younger. It was well worth it and would not hesitate to do it again.
  23. I can't get to 600 calories!
  24. I put bio-oil on all of my cuts. I don't believe it made any difference. Some of my incisions are barely visible and others are really visible. I think that they would have been the same without bio-oil. If it worked,all of my incisions would look the same. It's not expensive so try it if you want but I think it's a load of crock!
  25. We don't have Walmart or Walgreens in Australia. What are gas-x strips and what are they for?
