  1. South Park hitting it on the head again [emoji23]
  2. I'm like constantly making hot water bottles ?I hope we warm up again! At least you are in California and the chances are it's warmer. Cornwall this time of year is just wind and rain......oh wait....and the rest of the year lol But seriously, who woulda think it? When was your op? Do we warm up again [emoji23]? Mine was only on 12th Nov so I'm hoping it's just an initial thing ?
  3. still on soups and soft things, no rush as you said Anyone feel the cold alot more, I know it's winter here in UK, Cornwall but I'm cold all the time after op [emoji32]

  5. Watched and subscribed really informative. It's just nice to see someone coping really well and organized! so thank you and keep it up! Looking forward to more vids x
  6. For me the nauseousness only a couple of days after. The nerves pre-op are bound to be high! There is so much going through your head and it's perfectly natural....breath, it's going to be worth it! I'm 2 weeks post-op and you just forget all you went through at the time as you're concentrating on getting food in you, and the right food! So hang on in there, it's going to be ok, best of luck! X

  9. The gas was horrific for a couple of days. Burping and heaving mostly. The best thing to ease it was simply walking about and sleeping with head and shoulders raised, could not sleep on side due to acid and heartburn. You'll get thru it it's worth it
  10. Hey guys/ladies I'm Em, from Cornwall, UK. i had my gastric sleeve surgery on November 12th. Wish I'd found this site weeks ago! Anyhoo, I'm on stage 2 of food plan so mashed up veg etc, egg, even got some well chewed sushi down yesterday with no Ill effects. The only issue I'm having seems to be garlic makes me nauseous, sucks as I love it! Garlic that is not the sickness lost 2 stone since start of pre-op milk and jelly LRD so quite happy and feeling the benefits already! 1st few days were horrific due to the wind pain causing sickness and could only get Water down me. But cleared up quickly to get some Soup in. one thing that really has helped me is the myFitnessPal to track how many calories I'm getting in, nutrition and mapMyWalk. However I'm worried I'm only getting 500-600 calories in and simply can't eat any more yet. Is this ok? I'm sure it'll go up and I'm eating Soups I've made packed full of veg and Protein, so just seeing if is ok at this stage? how are you guys all doing?
