  3. Fine, had my check up with the Doc, tha'ts it, all healed up now. Back on all foods, no problem with anything so far. Still stuck in a stall but it actually looks like it might finally be moving down. Hows you doing?
  4. They don't hurt at all the needle is so fine and the plunger is idiot proof. I had them for two weeks and it was not a problem at all You will be fine ..
  5. I'm 42 days out and have been in a stall for over 21 days. I'm not worried, the scale isn't going up and I'm losing inches. The other lady who had surgery the same day as me, lost loads pre op (I only lost 5Ibs) and has continued to lose every week. We are all different and I know that I will be a slow loser. All in all I've lost 29Ibs and I would never of lost that amount on a conventional diet. I've had no problems with anything, can eat all different types of food and have now started exercising which I hope will kick start me moving again. Just have patience, you will get there
  6. Unfortunately I don't feel that restriction but I don't continue eating. I had that for breakfast too. I seem to feel very full about 5 mins after I eat and it can repeat for 30 mins. I don't really want to get into the calorie counting or weighing of stuff. Do you think that because I'm back on normal foods, I'm not getting enough Protein in? I'm worried about this stall but am off to France soon for a month and plan to get loads of walking in, so hopefully things will move a bit faster. Glad you're doing well.
  7. Just an update, eating normal food now, no problems at all and swallowing my Vitamin tabs fine. I'm not feeling much of a restriction but wonder if its because I'm not eating too much for it to feel restrictive, what do you reckon. I've been the same weight for 10 days and sometimes think I am eating too much but when I actually look at it, I'm not and no rubbish foods (not that I did much before). I've spoken my dieticein and she says its perfectly normal, but I do wonder when its going to shift again. I guess I'm just one of the unlucky ones who's going to lose slowly.

  9. I was on my own and had no problems at all.
  10. I've not had a problem with anything so far, 24 days out. Just had Cod in Parsley sauce, mashed with a fork and it was lovely. I've had beef mince, sort of repeat on me and keep coming up a bit when I burp but have not been sick at all. I'm looking forward to trying some crisp bread tomorrow I'm drinking copious amounts of tea and Water too
  11. I was told to drink what I want. I have coffee, its made no difference at all. It depends on your Doctor and the diuretic thing is a myth, your body adapts. Do what you think is best
  12. Yeah, really good. I've not had any problems, eating well. Incisions are fine, in fact no problems at all. I haven't been sick once and not had a problem eating anything, chicken, eggs, beef mince, pork mince, veg etc. Really pleased with everything. I have hit a stall but I'm not bothered about it as its pretty normal. So all in all, amazed at how easy it has been. Multivits everyday too and going every day

  14. Don't know, made a conscious choice not to get hung up on it after the op. Numbers have controlled how I feel for so long, so decided not to pay any attention to them until I get checked out by the consultant on the 6th May I will of course share after I've seen him..

  20. I never stopped drinking coffee up to the op and after. Every Doctor has a different view on it. I had six cups of strong coffee the day before my op as I new I couldn't have too much afterwards. I didn't get any headaches or any withdrawal and I have not been dehydrated at all. I am a hardened coffee drinker though The decisions comes down to, what do you want to do. I realise my post has been no help to you whatsoever and I apologise!
  21. Oh well, that will teach me to believe the Teenager at University. Once he hits 20 he will stop knowing everything! At least his not drinking Caffeine drinks!!
