Ha ha yes with the laces, 5 months ago I could not even put on my own socks, now I need to wear a belt to keep my jeans up

I am 4 months post surgery now, I have lost 5st 6lbs and have eventually got permission from my doctor to go back into the gym. I had a 5mile walk recently and amazed myself that I actually done it. Onwards and upwards x

I am gutted because I cannot tolerate anything - even black pepper causes me to have acid reflux

I was on an 800 calorie eating plan for 2 weeks pre op and lost 10lbs. I am 5 weeks post surgery have lost a total of 3 stones. For the last week I have suffered from bad acid reflux and my nutritionist said I am eating too much. I have gone back to eating with a teaspoon and 150ml, or 150gm of food and still no better and it's painful.

I have not been on pain meds since day 4 because they were making me sick, but no chance on the driving etc until my stomach muscles have healed properly inside. I have also been told no citrus flavours in anything, so no diluting juice etc that has lemons, limes, or oranges in

Thank you, glad I am not imagining it, my husband says I don't feel cold but omg I feel as if my feet have been in the freezer

How long were you sleeved before you drove? I have been told 3 months before I can drive, go to the swimming pool or gym.

I was sleeved on 3rd February, I am doing really well and have only been sick once after eating tuna!. I was normally always hot and even in winter I could wear shorts and tshirts indoors. This is not the case now, indoors I have found hat I need to wear socks, long trousers and sometimes 2 tshirts. Whenever I go to bed the electric blanket can be on but my feet are still freezing cold. Please tell me that it's not just me and it gets better xx ????

It sounds as if you are having mental hunger pangs rather than actual hunger pangs. I am 8 days out and for the first 6 I experienced the same, although I was in hospital for all that time and there was no option but to wait on meal times. Try and find something to do, or take on more water/liquid to settle or work through them, good luck xx

I was sleeved 1 week ago and only allowed out of hospital today. My whole abdomen is black with bruising. I am nearly at 40oz fluid, and meals are soup and jelly with plenty of beef tea in between. Since starting my pre-op until yesterday I have lost 25.5lbs and am really chuffed with that loss. 11lbs has been since I was sleeved x

I am also 2nd feb, I find it mad that most cases in USA are pre surgery diet is liquid, I am in UK and I can eat, albeit it's only 800 calories a day, it is however doable. Nothing from 10pm the evening before surgery, and starting my pre op diet on Wednesday

I got my date, it's in hospital on 2nd, and surgery on 3rd, out hopefully on 6th, so excited now xx

What is this site please x

I will have a look at that myss Jones thank you x

Good luck, and a very merry Christmas to you and yours xxx
