Ooh romance, how exciting Aussiegirl! I hope you have a wonderful first date.

Anyway I was always with some carer so it didnt go any further

umm, in the lift??? How's that for confidence! :P :P

All jokes aside, that's awesome.

Obviously you feel that good about yourself it wouldn't have phased you if he wasn't interested - which is cool.

Aussiegirl you are awesome. Good luck with the neighbour and if he's not your type think of it as good dating practise. It's a win/win situation either way:)

I had a terrible morning, didn't get to work today. Has nausea and felt generally yuk. Spent most of the morning in bed and felt so much better by mid afternoon. The one positive is my diarrhea was minimal today compared to how it has been. Hopefully that's the turning point.

Thanks Sue' date=' so scary but better than regret not doing it, besides its not bad to get to know your neighbours.[/quote']

Go for it!!!

I met my husband when we lived in the same apartment complex and moved in with him 5 weeks later. We've been together 21 years, married for 18! It can happen!

Hey Kelli - I was engaged to my husband after 6 weeks - 20 years married last August! But hey Aussie Girl I wouldn't advise engagement after 6 weeks to anyone - a bit like telling some they should get sleeved!! - best left to the individual to make such a life changing decision!! :-)

Deano, hahahahahaha i didnt mean go any further that way, like i wasnt going to ask him to coffee in front of either my mother or best friend as I would never hear the end of it.

Sue/Kelli, woww that is quick. I am thinking nowadays that it will happen like that for me. I am old enough to know and recognise what I want and need...your stories sound romantic :)

SwiftKate, just a question (sorry if it is personal) but there is no chance that you could be pregnant is there? The nause doesnt sound good. I am just asking cause sometimes we blame the sleeve for other reason we get sick. But I do hope it gets better.

I will you know whether anything progresses with the neighbour, tho broken ankle and all so far I have one maybe two date this weekend...I am trying all the frogs out lol.....and Deano before you go there, I am not actually trying them all out....just meeting and having a drink lol

Nothing wrong with a few test drives before you buy a car ........

Agree lol...but I dont need to test drive the cars I am not interested in just because they are available lol

Oh Aussiegirl you have made my day! That was not too personal, I'm even quite flattered. No I'm not pregnant...thank God. Although I loved it when I was 25 years ago. No I'm 52, with two adult children and not married...I'd have some explaining to do!!! I do have a partner who is ten years older but the shop is shut for more babies for both of us. Actually after my crappy day yesterday I have woken up feeling really good this morning. I think my big rest helped yesterday, I am taking it as a warning not to overdo things. I have probably been doing too much in the last week and needed a day of complete rest.

I love the test driving analogy to dating. Looking forward to some great stories about 'car shopping'.

SwiftKate, glad I could make you smile :) And even happier that you are feeling better today :)

WOO HOO aussiegirl. You go girl ! I have never hoped to get stuck in a lift, but I wish for your sake you 2 do. ha ha

Swift Kate, some days I have neausea, and I find Ribena juice helps. I dont know why, but it works for me. Also my sister had it in pregnancy as it settled her tummy. Give it a go.

Take care.

Managed to get into work to do some prep work until midday. No nausea today and no diarrhea. I swear once I put it out there and asked for advice it started to improve!!!! Thanks Mel I'll keep the Ribena juice in mind if I get it again.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone is/has been on a medication called Sandomigran? It's a migraine preventer or something like that. Anyway, I seem my GP for the first time since a month or so before my op and she advised me that the medication will most likely make it very difficult to shift weight. I have to go back to see her next week and was thinking of asking her to change my medication to another sort like a Beta Blocker which is another way of treating things.

Has anyone had problems with losing weight while on it and if so what did you do about it?

Thanks so much
