I went through this too and still have days like this. Find a distraction, do you like art and craft ? I make cupcakes then give them away lol much to the delight of the recipient. I have also taken up kayaking with a friend. I think the trick is to have something else to do. I struggle on days were I don't have much to do and nightshifts when it's quiet. Be kind to yourself, how far out are you ? I am 1 year in a few days it's hard but you will get there.

Yes go to any Dr or even the ER especially now you have got to the point of passing out

I think this was the worst part of having covid besides the sore throat, my appetite still isn't what it was but it's getting there. While we don't wish any illness on anyone it's nice to know we aren't alone. Hope you are feeling better 🌻

I didn't tell anyone apart from 2 people before surgery because I didn't want the judgement or anyone to put their 2 cents in and talk me out of it or put scarey thoughts in my head God knows I did that just fine on my own. I also didn't want anyone at my work to know but that didn't work out either because I had to take extra time off work and turns out my boss is a blabber mouth. Tell who ,what and when you are comfortable. It's up to you but sometimes that control is taken from us in the end my whole town and extended friend circle knew . I even had people who would barely look at me before come up to me in the street to ask about it. So it's a hard one

Oh those spinning teacups are the worst I too have had a very bad experience on those and that was the last time I ever went on a ride.

Congratulations that's awesome 🏆

From what I remember your body can only process/ absorb a certain amount of protein at a time so any more would just be excreted out and a waste but check with your dietician to see what they say

The only exercise I have done is a bit of walking, and recently I bought a kayak and I now kayak for around 2 hours once a week when my shifts allow. I dreamt last night of running on the beach does that count as exercise? 😅😅 I had big plans of joining the gym etc but it hasn't happened yet.

No catheter, depends what you eat but overall I fart less since surgery but like I said depends on what I eat or drink ( iced coffee= farting for 12 hours ) when you say colostomy do you mean a bag that's attached to you permanently? Knocked out before any tubes etc placed. Walking around about 6 hours after surgery

How much exercising are you doing? Exercising will make you hungrier because you are already on very low calories and burning more will make you hungrier. You don't need to exercise to lose weight at this point.

Yeah I am not sure about seeds I seem to recall something about not until after 6 months? I could be wrong though best to check with your team

What are faja's ?

Are you using the same tape measure? I have 2 and they measure slightly different. I thought I had lost a couple cms until I measured with the other tape .

Thank you 😊

I think you would benefit from a councillor. What we go through is huge. I had the very hard realisation that food was my best friend and then went through the grieving process it's tough. Do the best you can you are worthy and you can do this.

Honestly I didn't do low carb, low fat or low sugar anything and I do just fine

No there is a whole lot of other things going on you, will be fine

Don't feel to bad we all struggle with our old habits but we all seem to have a better awareness of them now ( sometimes) 😄

Thank you, I normally bounce back well after illnesses and this is my first illnesses since being sleeved and it has kinda rattled me a bit. Trying my best to eat and drink but it's so cold here ATM so that makes drinking even less appealing..good to know someone out there knows what I am going through thanks 😊

I am feeling very refluxy too ok maybe I am looking for some reassurance 😪 although I am not sick with covid anymore I feel yuck

I shouldn't laugh but surely a bagel isn't that big to start with, how far out from surgery are you ? And you did leave 2 bites behind so it wasn't the whole bagel. If it makes you feel any better most of us are surprised by how much we can eat. You should be able to eat a normal serving of most things. Those that say they can only eat a couple of bite per sitting are not the norm. Sure we all wish we could be a 2 bites and I am full but that's not the reality of it. Now cheerios they are slider foods foods that slid on down into our tummies and they never make us feel full so just be mindful of things like that .

Water is hard to get down, just get what ever fluids you can get down, I put pear juice in my water then started drinking powerade. If crystal lite is what works for you stick with it

Yeah I got excited when I saw that forum but you are right it not active at all

I had an opportunity to be with someone recently but I chickened out lol but yes when do you tell a potential partner about surgery

You are over thinking it as we all did, I had gerd before surgery I was on 40mg nexium as well as gaviscon liquid and tablets just to keep on top of it. I now take 20mg nexium and that's it and I am not sure I even need that but haven't been game to come off it yet. My surgeon said weightloss would help my gerd which it did. I have noticed the people who get gerd and revise to bypass also had a substantial weight gain as well. I have had zero issues with keeping food and drink down, had a few little omg I shouldn't have eaten/ drunk that so quick but after a few minutes it's all good and you don't do it again lol but honestly I a a week away from 12 months and I have zero problems. At the moment I am recovering from covid and I am suffering from lack of desire to eat or drink and have a bit of nausea but that's from covid not surgery.
