Hiya welcome on board intresting to know condone a year out. I'm 2 months out and Is getting easier, I can manage a weetabix now with a load if milk and goes down well. I'm hoping I'm not overeating. I do worry about that. As I don't want to stretch my sleeve. I have not vomited yet, been close to it though.

Where are you having it done again.. ps i felt like that i just wanted it done..

Hiya .. ofcourse you may join in :-0 congrats on getting ur sleeve done and thank you for the recipe ideas.. im on my 7th week now and still on mushies , but on have just over a week till i can eat normal (as can be) food.. i do have trouble eating often. I use lactalose to sort out the bowl problem .. its very sweet i feel its better than fybogel... (yuk) lol... I will try camomile tea .. regards laila

Hello Lucy Sorry for the dely in replying, my surgeon was Mr Sutton from Leicester royal imfirmary, he was fantastic i had very minor complications which was my back was very sore that was due to the position the put me in surgery but apart from that i had no problems at all.. the pain was not too bad ive had alot worse. I do not regret having this done at all... its the best thing i have done, im on my 7th week now. I must admit i was pretty scared in having it done , but i know thats normal... i didnt want the bypass as i was aware that Vitamin dificency is an issue with it.. but with the sleeve you can absorb all ur vits.. i do take Calcium Iron and multi-vits. Good Luck

Well i was wondering today i had a scrambled egg and 1 piece of bacon im 6 weeks post op... but i can only eat 3 times a day ...i try to eat regulary but i just dont feel like it..

Im the same i still cant believe i have done it... no regrets at all.

Hiya I was sleeved june 10th... and im still not having much energy but i know its because i cant stand the shakes either, im now and only just on mushies, of which i will have 4 weeks of then hopefully i will be able to start to eat normal food...i have orfered friut protein from the health shop, i was also told your body can only manage 25 grams of protein in one shot... has anyone tried the protein shots ?... good luck on ur recovery.

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE MY SLEEVE........ AND THANK ALL THE WONDERFUL MEDICAL TEAMS THAT HAVE HELPED PEOPLE LIKE ME..

Hello, oh yeah i just noticed no one did reply to my post.. haha oh well, i did leave a personel message to you yesterday before reading this message from you... well good luck tomorrow.. where are you having your op done ? i had my done at Leicester royal infirmary and they were fab, the operation was fine the pain when waking up was not really bad at all, my main pain was my lower back , as i have hip problem they tried to adjust me before my op so all my weight was on my right to avoid it on my left.. so in that case you should be fine. My incisions are nearly gone.. its amazing i have lost a stone and half before op and the same in 3 weeks after op so total 3 stone in 6 weeks... its nearly a 1lb a day..which is amazing. Its normal for you to be nervous, but believe me its over in no time.. please keep me posted Laila x

well done

Congratulations xx
