Hi has anyone else had this happen post op?,the op did,nt interefere with my periods i have had a period every month since august right up until the end of december,i have never missed a period before,took 4 pregnancy tests all neg and dr has taken blood to rule out the menepause(i,m too young!!!) so i just dont know whats going on,is this normal after the sleeve? is it just my hormones playing up,i,m all over the place at the moment with my moods,crying one minute, happy the next and then hulk angry, my poor hubby lol.

I had one appt with the weigh ahead team in sheffield and asked there and then to be refferred for the sleeve,i got my refferal in febuary 2013 and went to the pre bairiatric meeting in march and was offerred my surgery in april.i did,nt have the surgery until august due to holidays booked and my bf wedding,they even took the date of my bf wedding and offerred me surgery 10 days after so i could start the pre op diet the day after!! they were brilliant,i,m almost 6 months post op and 5 stone gone i am half way there and so glad i took the steps to lose the weight.goodluck with your op it wont take long now you have been given the go ahead.

It will settle down after a few days

I,m a August sleever and have only lost 24lb post op, i, m 7 wks out and some have lost 47 lbs who had it. Same time as me, its frustrating, but they were about a 50 lbs heavier to start so maybe you lose more if you have more to lose??

I wonder if I froze some it would be like icecream, that would be so good, i, m going to test it now:-)

This is fantastic:-D me and my hubby love Indian curry and i, m starting softstage in 3 days, my crockpot is never going to be off, I can now cook something we can both have even if mines 1/8 of his portion :-D we both love cooking , so please any healthy versions of Indian cuisine eould be fantastic :-D

Only I had a protien bar with nuts in, haf 2 small bites then panicked:-/

When can we eat nuts, i, m almost 3 wk post op and want tp eat nuts for protein and a. Healthy snack

Why are you not allowed porridge oats? They are the same as readybreak, my diet sheet on purree says really runny wheatabix porridge or readybreak for Breakfast, all these different diets lol !

Bit of porridge with mashed banana for me, think i, m gonna need the energy when I return to work:-/

I took my littleboy to see despicable me 2 yesterday and bought him popcorn and Pepsi max I also had a couple of mini cheese crackers bags in my bag for him, I had a cup of tea, It doesnt bother me so much because its my littleman I took him to McDonald's after for a happy meal and again I had tea, I just figure there's no point avoiding these situations because you just gotta accept you, ve made a positive change to your eating and life goes on and I wont deprive my littleman the occasional treat.

Lol I did, nt start mine on day 1 it started on day 2! I had a Chinese food funeral on day 1 lol :-/, dont worry it wont make any difference if you start a day late, my surgeon said my liver was perfect :-D

TROLL!!!

I, ve just cooked my family cottage pie and took some to one side and pureed the mincebeef and peppers in gravy, then added powdered milk to my mashed potatoes n butternut squash( for extra protien) and made my own tiny cottage pie in a little dish, and this will still make me around 6 meals so i, ll freeze it, I think as long as your cooking healthy food you can purree or eat if your past liquids, purree stage its fine cooking for family, unless its not what you can eat , like a fryup lol thats gotta be tough. :-)

I have, nt had alchohol but at 2 wks post op i, m suprised how much fluids I can now drink without sipping especially warm drinks.

Hi in the information diet booklet we are given to follow after surgery it says alcohol not recommended for 12 months:-( this is because we absorb it really quickly post sleeve so you get drunk really fast, and our livers are recovering from being moved about in surgery, I think i, ll have a glass at Christmas definitely which is 5 months post op, sure thats enough time.

Butternut squash and corriannder Soup, so easy to make and delicious, you can also freeze it, its never too late you, ve just got to work with your sleeve its a tool, thats what my surgeon drilled into me, its my mantra now lol
