Hi Deano. My drs pack says that light headedness is normal for a little while (it also says 3 or more times a day should get checked out).

Thanks Ozee - I think I'll have to try harder to remember not to jump up / out of bed like I do, doesn't help!

Question for all of you in OZ ... I used to by these little cans of food from Coles they were blue and would have salmon with a lil bit of veg and wild rice.. Do any of you know what I am talking about and what they are called? I am looking to see if I can find them here in the US along with your yummy green seas flavored tunas I think it was something that started with a B that sounded French but idk for sure. I would appreciate any help you can give me...

Ps. I just may be moving back to The Alice in 2013:)

I will look out for the tuna next time I am in Coles and let you know.

Guys - I'm about 17 days post op and things seem to be going really well.

One thing I have noticed is that sometimes I feel a little light headed (I wouldn't go as far to say dizzy) if I stand up quickly.

Do you think it's a blood pressure thing' date=' or is it normal with the very low calorie intake?

My blood pressure has always been perfect and I've never felt light headed pre surgery.

Hope your all having a good weekend, I'm working <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I got these symptoms too but thought it was because I had lost so much weight I could get up out of my chair/bed much faster so that was what was causing it! Silly me! My symptoms seem to have subsided now!

Ok the verdict - i have to go for an endoscopy in 2 weeks because i suffer from heartburn. He wants to check that there is nothing sinister going on before the surgery' date=' i was disappointed but when i thought about it i'm glad he is being careful. So at the moment we are still looking mid to late Feb next year pending the endoscopy is good.

Thanks for all your thoughts you are all so lovely![/quote']

I think it is great that they are being thorough. All the best for your endoscopy and that you get the big green light for your op!

Lila, love your new profile pic - you really do look awesome. Have a great night tonight.

Aussiegirl - I had my gallbladder out about 15 years ago after I was just a out dying as I was that sick from it. What meant to be keyhole surgery turned out to be a 9 hr operation as apparently such a mess in there and had to open me up but anyway all done now. Get better soon

Kelli - glad you had a great night last night at the tourism awards.

I was planning going out for a birthday party and had something planned to wear but thought I would try on this afternoon but was too big and looked disgusting so unfortunately let my husband go and I stayed home as really only have a few work clothes to get me through. My old faithful jeans can even do it anymore - really going to have to get some clothes before all the Xmas parties start

Is this what you meant?

[Lissa_S 787]

Had a great night out - got so busy catching up with people that I managed to miss the food altogether. Upside was that I wasn't sick from eating too much/ something my tummy decided it didn't like. Bad news is that I've gone too long without eating and now I am trying to have something at 10:30 Might try eating before I go to these things next time

Jeans west has 40% off everything for members at the moment, including clearance stock. It costs nothing to become a member and I got a dress that was reduced from $99 for $18. Bargain.
