Thank you! Yes it coud be a virus. I have not been sick at all yet but the feeling that i might is actually worse. I think i will have to go to the pharmacy and doubt i will be in work tomorrow. Thanks for your help as always!

Hey all, Would appreciate any input. I am feeling sooooo bad today. I cant eat anything and the thought of eating makes me squirm. Constant feeling of sickness, its horrible. I have coninced myself that i have h plyori or something or that something is wrong in there. Does anyone have any advice? Or homemade remedy to cure the nausea? Its the first time i have felt like this since surgery 9 weeks ago. Thanks a lot

Just wondering!

Sorry i cant help (was self-pay) just wanted to say im really sorry. Cant believe they denied, even with a BMI of 54.That alone should be enough. Not fair. Fight them! I hope some others can help. xxx

This is a great thread, glad i found it! When i was 18 i worked in Ibiza, which as you can imagine involved lots of bikinis and hotpants! I was so slim and confident then. I am thinking about going there again this year and have been thinking loads about what to wear. A few months before surgery i developed these ugly stretch marks on my tummy (not a mum yet) and as i lose weight they get more prominent and uglier. I know this is really vein but it has totally upset me. I did it to myself and for no reason. No kids to show for it! How can i ever wear a bikini again with these ugly marks on my tummy. Im only 27 and have a few bikini years left! My only solution is to wear some of the cute beach kaftans over my bikini.

Thanks for all your answers, its always good to hear others exps. I think before surgery I just thought "oh I'll be ok, i wont need to be on that stuff long" but its not the case. If i miss a dose i feel that horrible feeling so I guess i will just have to stay on it for a while!

Tried to make this a poll but am doing something wrong and dont have the energy to work out what it is!

I am really, really struggling to get the protein in. The only thing i like to eat at the moment is soup. I have tried adding the unflavoured protein to the soups but the unflavoured part on the tub was a lie! Yesterday i had a protein shot which caused dumping, so they are a no go for me. What would happen if i only hit 40g protein a day until? I can just about manage half a shake and half a bottle of isopure. Your thoughts, as always are appreciated!

Ok my lovely friends, I will be in SD for a few nights and need your advice. What should i do/see and where should I stay? Preferably somwhere near the ocean at a reasonable price, is that possible? Also hotel not too far from the airport. Thanks in advance!

Im nearly 7 weeks out. I am still finding it hard to eat at a decent pace instead of like a snail! If eat a bit quicker, I feel pains, you all know the ones i mean!! How long did it take for you to get back to a normal pace? Im getting pretty fed up eating so slow. I dont want to gulp things down, just eat things at a decent speed!!!! Could i still be swollen? Thanks as always

I seem to be losing 3 lbs every week. Wooo Hooo!! Just wondering if anyone eles lost the same amount every week? Do you think this will last or is it just a coincidence?

Irene, for the high weight that u once were there is so trace of saggy skin etc on ur arms, whats your secret??? Maybe u always had skinny arms?

Hi everyone, If its any consolation, i am in the same boat. Everything is going pretty ok apart from the energy to exercise. I am a teacher and when i get home from my after school activities that is it, i cannot move a muscle! I started walking at the weekend, but those two days were all i managed. Just too tired during the week. I am hoping in time my energy will increase.

Really pleased to hear that Jen! U must be so relieved!

I was just going to post a thread about this today. Been wondering how long after surgery to wait to apply bio oil. I want to start as soon as possible but i dont want to cause any irritation either!

Hello all, Im gonna need your help. I bought a treadmill this week and today started walking. I managed 1km in 14 mins before i had to stop. I hate exercise. Does anyone have any tips about how to increase the amount i can do on the treadmill? Should i just aim for a little more everytime? Any advice appreciated!
