    Any sleevers in the UK?

    Hot water was a blessing for gas for me. And you will used to everything so quickly. Just listen to your body. And increase your activity as soon as possible. Xx

    Any sleevers in the UK?

    I'm doing very well. I am 54 kg down with only 17 to go. Living in the gym they said the last bit would be the hardest. And was able to complete my first 5k last August. Would recommend Mr.mannur and the spire group to any one x

    Spicy food?

    Will try keeping things simple. I will try cutting things out and reintroduce them and hopefully at some point be able to enjoy the same flavours. Thanks for the advice!
  5. I am about 3 months out and at the stage where I am back to normal food. I can tolerate most foods, but don't eat bread, pasta, pastry, rice or potatoes. For my evening meals I usually have a meat portion with some veg. However I find that since surgery I can't tolerate how spicy I usually season my meat or any spicy sauces. Has any one else experienced this and if so did it pass? I really like spicy/hot flavours and my family cook with a lot of spicy seasonings as well. So I am hoping it will pass?

    Just finished surgery yesterday

    My first couple of hours out of surgery I was very lethargic and slow. This improved through out the next day and being on a drip to keep me hyrdrated and I was up and walking all the next day! Returned home after a 2 night stay took it very slowely and had a lot of bed rest using a pillow against my stomach to sleep comfortably. I did slow walks around my house and sipped continually on my water! However I was completely drained and very sleep for about a week and a half. I would say pains from gas took about 3 days to pass, and from surgery took about a week but was still slightly sore for about 2 weeks around my incisions. Take things slowly and rest well and become best friends with your Water bottle.
  8. Headaches have stopped! I think it was just my body getting used to all the new activities! But thank you for everyone's input !
  9. I am 10 weeks out of surgery with a 46lb loss yay me, and have recently begun a gym routine and and boxing class. On the days I do weights I am usually fine but sore for a few days But any day I to intense cardio, I find in the evening I have the worst headaches to point I cant handle bright lights or loud sounds. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this or having any ideas what could be causing this X

    Resuming medications in pill form

    My doctor advised that after 3 weeks I can resume my tablets, he did say I was to split them up I take 3 different ones so I take them at breakfast lunch and dinner.
  15. I used Pharma PhD whey which is 36g per scoop and optimum nutrition which is 24g I opted for the second as it has hardly any sugar in. I will look into to trying it it with juice all though fruit juice also seems to be something I can't handle as well, eventually something has to give right! Thanks guys will look into everyone's suggestions and have a chat with my dietician and doctor, xxx
  16. I am two weeks out of surgery, and on liquids for 6 weeks I can deal with all my liquids apart from protien shake, I have tried it with Water and milk and I end up either feeling really sick/tired and dizzy or making a mad dash to the bathroom (no.2). It's really getting me down as I was told to get at least 60g of protien and my protien shakes makes for 48g of that. My nutritionist said I could use slim fast but I'm not sure as each bottle has only 15g of protien but like 26g of sugar? And surely this would be detrimental to my weight loss. If any has any suggestions to how I could get protien in I would be super grateful x
  17. I see my doctor for my first check up in two days I will mention this to him as I'm certain it's not milk as I drink hot milk before bed any way.
  18. I'm going to be honest I smoked up to midnight before my op! I like you only smoke a few a day, however I would advise not going my route I had no complications and healed well but you will want to be at your best health wise so giving up will be beneficial in so many ways. Wish you all the best x
  19. I have tried Optimum Nutitriton and Pharma Phd whey both with water and milk still making me feel weird I will look up the premier and see if it's something I can get in the Uk x
  20. I looked it up we have something over here in the Uk called pea protien which can be added to Soups and stuff so they may be my solution will have to take a look when the shops open after New Years!! X
  21. I was self pay : I had my first consultant meeting on 4th December 2015 Pre assesment on the 15th December 2015 Surgery on the 18th December However I had been going through NHS the U.K. Health system and was referred by my doc September 2014 And still waiting so went self pay.

    Anti anxiety meds

    I take citalopram, I am about 9 days out after surgery I took my last tablet(30mg) the day before surgery. I have a follow up in 2 days and will ask if I can take them, for the purposes of weaning off,cause doctor advised going cold turkey will eventually have withdrawal symptoms.
  23. Today I'm am a week out of surgery and was told I can take the waterproof plaster off of my incisions. Underneath the plaster I have steri-strips. I am unsure if I'm to take these off as well and if not will they be okay whilst I'm in the shower?
  24. Thanks for you response all the paperwork given on my discharge only mention the bandages and if you had staples or stitches but I had neither so very grateful that there are others out there that know !
