Oh I had a hideous rash on my back after surgery and now from time to time I get one on my stomach

So just wandering if this has happened to anyone else. I was well and truly on the way to menopause before surgery, I hadn't had a period for six months and hadn't had a "regular" cycle for over 12 months. The day after surgery I get a period ok that's fine but as I lost weight my periods start to become semi regular again ??? I am 56 and thinking they should have stopped by now. So just curious if this has happened to anyone else

Depends on the bread, thin bread toasted is ok, after cinnabon scroll I was in intense pain and very sick. The longer you leave these types of things out of your diet, the better your results. that is the best advice I can give you.

Lol you just feel really full and bloated, I did vomit once. other than that not much but it uncomfortable enough that you try really hard not to do it

Haha yes I reckon we all did something similar mine was licking potato chips lol

Feeling cold after surgery is very normal

Sounds like emotional eating to me. I never realised how much I relied on food until after my surgery. I never classed myself as an emotional eater but boy oh boy was I wrong. Be kind to yourself do some inner searching, work out why you are stressed the answer is most likely pre surgery anxiety (very normal) and find other ways to soothe your nerves like coming here and reading posts ?

Totally agree, I wish I went to a specialist.

I know someone who got a full mouth of implants from Thailand for 6k AUD and was very happy with the results.

Metamucil is fibre so having that 3 times a day is where the poop is coming from lol. You won't be able to take Metamucil after surgery as it swells in your tummy ,so can I suggest cloudy pear juice to keep things moving

took me 6 months to be able to drink carbonated drinks but I still find beer a bit harder especially out of a can

Yeah, I stopped looking at this thread because I always feel like I am eating way too much seeing how little some people eat before feeling full. But then I compare what I eat to what other non-surgically enhanced people eat and i think ok I don't eat that much really

Me Too!! and my front teeth now "rub" on the inside of my bottom lip

Not A victory but a weird observation, I have noticed I have less earwax!?! weird I know but yeah.

a few more tips, eat and drink something you enjoy, I found KFC mash and gravy, Powerade, kids yoghurt pouches were life savers for me. I didn't do low sugar, sugar free or anything like that as you are eating so little anyway, I found the extra calories made me feel better I also ditched the vitamins as they actually made me feel worse and all my bloods have been fine. oh, cloudy pear juice fantastic for the old bowel movements and it's nice to drink . I find I still only go every couple of days, but I don't stress about it it will come when its ready remember you are eating way less so there is way less poop to come out

I went through this too, check out my profile and my very first posts you will see how bad I was. it does get better I can 100% guarantee you of this. it might take a couple of months, but you will get there. I am 18 months post op and forget I have even had the surgery sometimes, I even wish the post op period lasted longer now. The restrictions you feel will get less over time and it will become easier and enjoyable to eat again. Like Summerseeker said your hormones will be all over the place too. I cried multiple times a day, even screamed in the shower "why Me" as is why did the surgery make me feel like this. I couldn't even talk about the surgery without crying and told people never to consider getting it done but the crying got less the eating got better. Now I couldn't recommend the surgery more. Its the best thing I ever did, and you will feel that way soon too.

Sorry, I don't know what going on with my tablet every time I choose quote to reply the text highlights blue and I can type anymore. The reason I asked was last year I had a contrast ct scan done which showed a mass the radiologist wanted further investigation but my surgeon and gp both agree it was just scar tissue from the sleeve. I also had polyps before surgery. I think I will go back and ask for further investigation just to be safe. Thank you for sharing SleeveDiva2022

Thank you for sharing, the reason I ask is last

Oh, can I ask how come? You seemed to be doing so well

Everyone is different, I suffered post surgery took about 3 months to come good. But you are aware of it, so you are a step ahead. It totally blind sided me

Sounds like you are either dumping or your blood sugars are way out of whack see your surgeon he may refer you to endocrinologist

I think the last 2 commenters didn't read the original post ? and just answered the title

Try cloudy pear juice, it was a miracle worker for me. Half a glass every morning . Remember the reduced amount of food means reduced B M s. I am 18 months out sometimes I go every day for a few days then not again for 3 or 4 days I try not to stress about it comes when it comes ?

I was going to say the same thing in fact I will, go back to the ER and or the surgeon who did the surgery sounds like you have an infection and that is serious

How do you search a topic in the forum to see if anyone else has the same or similar issue?
