So happy for you

Ebay

Have you had the op then - how are you doing

I meant stone

Grey tip !! As a shopaholic I appreciate that

I use a mask and love it - I change from a full face to Amira View depending on wether I have hay fever or feel like it. I have lost 40kg and have around 50 more to go before I can be reassessed

I haven’t got to that stage yet - but have decided that I will be making it clear it’s personal and won’t be discussing it. I work with older people in a residential setting and I know how they would love to talk my business. But I find it hard enough fitting in my tasks without having this level of conversation,

When I see them this month I will let them know - I eat too much - if I am careful and don’t eat dense foods it is less likely

Congratulations I am in UK too and was sleeved July 30th and have gone from a BMI 55 to 44 having lost 6.8 lbs

You lost a life changing amount - congratulations

Great photos

Me too ! I have lost 6.7 stone. I am going for a bra fitting on Saturday . I am sure that will make a big difference as I have extremely large bosum that is not correctly supported

At times especially if too soon after food my liquids can cause me to vomit. I try and have my main bulk liquids at late night after meals. I give food priority as I can’t seem to get much in

I vomit at least 3 times a week - I am 3 months post sleeve, I sometimes vomit every meal - I think The main cause is spicy food, trying to drink with food or that bite too much

Wow - you were lucky - I would have barfed in the buffet if I tried that

The old addage "chew your drink and drink your food "is getting me through this

I too have had a surprise cycle in the info from the hospital it did suggest packing sanitary towels. It appear to be pretty common to have a disrupted cycle. For me having the coil and being 50 it was indeed a surprise.

I have the sam issue with something's and but never up throwing up

And you still reckon your going straight back to work.its emotional

Sounds like you are not being given the right pain meds - I felt no pain in hospital- I was given a pain patch as I am allergic to co- codamol - the patch lasts 7 days and with a drip of paracetamol and also eventually soluble paracetamol I was happy.

I too am a mother and understand that sometimes we need relaxation and alcohol can really hit the spot. I however have resorted to meditation I find that learning to relax takes away my need for alcohol. Also it's a really good thing to do with your child as they get older. Teaching a child how to relax can help if they develop sleep issues or anxiety. I know of somebody who has had a gastric sleeve and finds out how very easy to slip down his throat and has probably replaced one issue with another. It's always worth just keeping a check on these things I can slip very quickly. What you're suggesting in terms of drinking occasionally should not be a problem. In fact a delight. Enjoy and cheers.

Why not set up a group in your area - your needs are not catered for in the industry

Yes I had same problem With IV machine - you won't be on it for long - but it does case lack of sleep ( for the whole ward) I was on anti sickness meds and a drip- Relax - it's getting better even if it feels worse

You are now officially is the WLS club congratulations and left the healing transformation begin
