Thanks heaps Laura, I really appreciate your input. I'll post again when I've been to the Dr this morning Jen PS in your opinion do you think I'd be ok drinking a protein shake, I just don't want to eat anything in case that pain comes back?

Thanks so much, I had a feeling it may be something like that. I asked as well in the main area of VST and LauraVen suggested just the same, I'm going to ask my GP and see if there is something she can do for me. Fingers crossed its not another hospital trip anytime soon.

Thank you Laura, I'm really hoping its not my gall, but if that's the case I guess another hospital stay may be in order soon. I will ask my GP to look at this this morning. Jen

Hi guys, I need some help please. I had two weird "attacks" last night, first one about 8 and lasted around 10 minutes, then second about 10 that lasted nearly an hour. Had the ambulance here, I thought I was gonna die. Both times it happened within 10 minutes of me eating. I haven't had any previous problems. The pain started dull in my stomach them progressed until I was doubled over and I was screaming. I couldn't help it and I'm not a wuss, I can usually handle pain quite well. The pain went right across my stomach and then up under my right ribs, it was difficult to breathe and it was the same whether I layed down, walked or stood up. I was scared as I thought it may have something to so with my Gall but because the pain wasn't present when the ambo'a arrived, they couldn't help me. Also I noticed that last time after the pain subsided, which was quite quick, I kept bringing up thick saliva. I am going to my GP this morning, I am very scared to eat now though, I am sipping on drinks and trying to build up the courage to have a protein shake, does anyone have any ideA what this may be? I wasn't sure but thought I'd read Puppyphat had problems recently and wondered if they were at all similar? Thanks in advance, I hope you can help me out. And YES I am going to Dr this morning but any ideas I may be nle to give her would be helpful as she is just a GP Ta Jen

Another is B1zzyL1zzy, I'm sure these peeps I have mentioned will be able to help you

There is a couple users from wa I think One is Kazza wa, I think another is Seth, you might try looking through the other Aussie threads and by reading you can mostly work out where they are from. Then just private message and invite them to chat in your thread :-)

You look and must feel fantastic. I'm in awe and hope my transformation can be half as jaw dropping as yours!

I'm giving up, you guys win. I'm really not interested in your Trolling bullshit. That's what I get you guys are doing to me, even if you disagree, as you are accusing me of something very similar. Thanks for making me feel like that, hope you are proud of yourselves. Obviously our cultures are too far apart and not as similar as I had thought. I'll stick to the Aussie room from now on, that way I won't be misunderstood.

OMG Are you guys really asking me to defend my remark?????? SOME people do change, possibly they were always mean, go figure hey I'm NOT saying EVERYONE who chooses to keep things private are vain and bitchy, but some are. Please read a post properly before you attack it's author.

Why keep things secret? I think some sleevers obviously become vain and bitchy, (and by some of the comments in these threads, it's quite a few) someone they would have avoided when overweight. I tell anyone who asks, especially overweight people, they need all the help and information they can get, I wish people had shared with me, maybe I would have had this wonderful operation sooner!

It's more like 20 servings

Funny how its all do different. I am allowed all meat except for beef, mind you I am allowed veal, just not beef for almost the first year

I agree to start out slowly. I joined Jetts two weeks ago, only after I had been walking by myself every arvo for about 4 weeks. I REALLY enjoy going to the gym now, it's like my little thing LOL and just use treadmill and recumbent bike. Insensitive people get on my goat. I def wouldn't want to continue lessons with someone like that anyway, hope you demanded a refund if it wasn't included in your membership fee. Just remember to take it easy and build up to what YOU want, nobody wants to feel uncomfortable while their exercising

Hope all went fine for you Seth!

I bought a Pregio. It's fantastic

I am a band/sleeve revision patient and used to feel exactly as you said. Your thoughts are absolutely normal as far as I am concerned. I had to let the hate out and make the decision to have the revision, I am 3 months out now and have not looked back at all. I am not a fast loser, just the norm from what I read, I really, truly couldn't be happier about everything now. Honestly, make your decision, it will really help how yiu are feeling, and if you can find a Dr to do both in one, go for it. Some say you have to wait months in between, but I didn't and know of quite a few on here who did the same, all of us no problems

Just awesome Piplula, can only hope I can do comparatively as well

Not that particular brand but any protein shake/powder with egg white in it makes me gag and I just cannot drink it, I advise to buy the smallest possible container or try to get a sample first. Another protein is pea protein powder, I haven't tried it but know its out there. Actually has anyone tried the protein pills I have seen on puritans pride, they are called desicated liver??

Ok, Made and they are not good. I put to my lips and I feel a little zing, so I think it has something to do with carbonation. Also it's like most of the flavour is gone too and it virtually tastes just like wAter in sections. I'm goin to try again with flat lemonade and see how it goes

Thanks everyone for your opinions and insights, I think if, yes I can be a bit more mindful of knowing my fuse has shortened, I might be able to control it a littler nicer

Hi, I'm not really sure how to ask this but has anyone had any anger problems since their op? I looked through some other posts and one was saying they were angry all the time because they couldn't eat. That's not the case with me, it doesn't bother me at all, but I have a very very short fuse now, I will suffer no-one being an idiot or rude to me and I can just go off at the drop of a hat, it's pretty weird, I've mostly just kept things inside my whole Life and its like now, everything justs comes screaming out. Anyone who knows what I'm talking about, please give me your input, will it level out?

I am almost three months, had band/sleeve revision in one. Early on I could eat a little more but now am satisfied with smaller amounts. I totally agree with the opinion on being either carb free or very low carb, I eat green and coloured veggies but no bread or refined carbs and sugar, one of my only treats is the chocolate protein balls that are made from oats etc, I find if I do, that somehow enables me to eat more and I just don't want to do that. Try to limit yourself to protein and veggies for a few days

My yoghurt turned out perfectly, it is the best I have ever tasted, I strained it twice as long as recommended and its so thick and creamy and its made with low fat milk, I will be making it again, it sure gives store bought a run for its money!

I made mine earlier, so I will let you know tomorrow how its gone
