I hear ya. I had my op in February and this is my first month clear. Had about a couple of days a month clear but constant bleeding from the off. Dr changed my bc pill to combined instead of progesterone only and that seems to have done the trick. Forget extra precautions..my hubby not allowed near lol:D

Hey, looking good. I am down 66lbs had a bit of a stall but hoping that will past soon. No major problems, have to have vitamin D supplements now as I have not been absorbing any but other than that it's all good. We are looking to move to the states now, so all time and energy has been focused on that. We are just in the starting blocks so it's a long road ahead. You look great kee...

Hi Xandria, thanks for your message. Not been on here much as working so much and everyone in a different time zone lol. I have had a bit of a stall of late i'm afraid, lost 54lbs since sleeved, so you are gradually creeping out in front..not that it's a competition. I feel well in myself but have not really been able to get warm since surgery. What sort of things are you eating and how much. I have found these last couple of weeks that I have been eating more and have had that empty feeling ALOT more lately. Need to get back on track with the excercise, not done ANY for 2-3 weeks as the energy levels have been ridiculously low. Had a blood test to check the vitamin levels, get the results on 06/28. How have you been doing, you sound like you have been doing great, 63lbs wow :w00t: that is something to be proud of xx.

Hi all and welcome Paul5678. Haven't been on for a while, so thought I would pop in say hi. Good luck Bookleen, we'll all be thinking of you. As for the driving thing I was told could drive as soon as feel able to do an emergency stop comfortably, but yorkshire has a very valid point, check with your insurance before you do. Well done all of us, keep up the good work xx.

Speak up those with leaks & infections!
Nicolab3ll replied to Can.sleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Could be just me, but having read through (for about an hour) still does not appear to be any first hand BAD experiences, just opinions on other peoples experiences and not own accounts. I am sure that people with bad experiences have their reasons for not posting on here and am sure that they do not need a ventriliquist to air their views for them. I am sure they are all grown adults that are quite capable of accounting for their own experiences and frankly if you have not experienced problems with this practice yourself, then you have no business posting about someone elses experiences...perception is a wonderful thing and is as individual as the experience. C'mon people after 11 pages, we are still yet to hear the many first hand accounts everyone is talking about ...or did I mis read the post title "speak up THOSE with leaks and infections. Surely out of all the very spirited people on this forum, they are not ALL "afraid" of discussing their opinion for fear of being shot down or deleted. COME ON!! common sense people....AND for the record I don't work for any practice and do not even share the same country. I just have a low boredom threshold when it comes to "facts" that cannot be substantiated. -
I have memory loss, feeling stupid in general and had massive dizzy/blacking out spells. Turns out the dizzy spells are unrelated to surgery as I went and got myself labrynthitus (swelling in the inner ear) so it all adds to the VSG fun...still love my ((sleeve)) though
-
OMG!! hope you ok. I am doing fine, my dizzy spells were down to Labrynthitus swelling in the inner ear, nothing to do with surgery at all, but they can't treat it as all the meds upset the stomach (typical) I was having trouble on the ole poop front myself, got some exlax chocolate and that seems to sort me out. The doc has sent me for bloods just to make sure there isn't anything more sinister going on, but other than that it is all good. Had a bit of a slimes/foamies then full on puking stage yesterday but that seems to have passed. Don't know whether it was a food intolerance, ate too quickly or too much...do you know the difference, didn't seem like I had eaten too much though lol.

Hey Girl, yes, want to know what it was? I was full of poop literally. . i hadn't had a poop for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks (didn't even realize it was that long, no bloating, no pain, nothing) doctor says it was a toxicity build up causing nausea, dizziness, and weakness, so got some Mag Citrate drank 1/2 the bottle, and have been using Miralax every day and have been going every day now. . . i feel great, wanna sing the halleluas every day now!!! How are you doing?????

Places to get liquid protein samples
Nicolab3ll replied to Oregondaisy's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Thanks for that, will see if i can get hold of some in the UK. I figure any protein I can get in is better than none. -
Hey Thin, How did you get on at the docs, got them dizzy spells sorted out yet. Cyber hugs x.
-
I'm a daily weigher as well, always have been. I used to find if I didn't weigh myself daily I would gain, so by weighing myslef everyday I can see trends and keep the weight loss on track. Doesn't work for eveyone but I prefer to do it this way. I only record my weightloss/gain on one day (Tuesday) though.

Need Ideas to Jazz Up Shakes Plz
Nicolab3ll replied to FreeToBeMe's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I was so pleased to have found the world according to egg face site, can not do Protein shakes at ALL! Thanks to this site, I have been putting the shakes into my ice cream maker and I admit I have a small amount of chocolate sauce on but have to say it is bearable. However, had to scrap that idea as 20 minutes after the protein, I had slimes for over 2 hours :scared0:...think I will just have to stick to food puree for my protein, darn it!
