we were given a little card to have in out wallet when in our pack when we were discharged from the hospital. it has a little bit of info on what to consider if I am suddenly admitted with stomach pain etc

same thing happened to me

Hi all I am just wondering about something and I hope you who are more experienced than me can let me know what you think. ok, last week, if I ate too fast, like 2 spoonfuls, I would get that awful stuck feeling in my chest and would have to throw up... but the past few days, things are not getting stuck as much! I know how stupid this is going to sound, but I am worried now that things are going a little too well for me (despite being admitted to hospital last week but thats another story) I keep thinking that there is something wrong with my pouch, how, at this early stage, can it accept almost anything (havent eaten junky fatty foods) I was having light dumping after half of my meals but that seems to have stopped. Is it normal that the blocked up feeling eases after a while? I ate some chicken today.. and it got stuck, I was absolutely delighted!!!! Isnt that a bit mad? Like I said, I am worried that I feel so well. almost normal except for the amount I am eating. I sometimes feel I could eat more, but is the full feeling different to what it was before? or am I just not feeling it??? (sorry if its longwinded) amy <3

I dunno what is wrong with you but I hope you feel better soon

thanks guys! feeling a bit better now about feeling a bit better! hehe Again this morning I had some food get stuck, turkey and low fat cheese ... it all came back up again! Glad to hear that you know what I am talking about! I am down another LB today and I think its thanks to upping my Water intake and cutting out 1 Protein shake! GO ME!! means alot to me that you would take the time to reply to me with your experiences! x

congrats!!! well done! I am delighted for you! I had one today, I bought a pair of Levi´s jeans size 33" thinking they would fit me in a while, they were half price so I had to get them... and THEY FIT!!! WOW!! Cant believe it! feel great, despite the slow weight loss! 23lbs in 6 weeks!

hi! Im also 6 weeks out today. So, Friday is my weigh in and I have gone up 1lb since last week. I am seriously freaking out at this stage. I have lost around 20lbs. I cant understand why it is going so slowly since I am eating so little. Why wont the scale move??? I was admitted to hospital 2 days ago to get some fluids into me as I am dizzy and exhausted, didnt seem to help, they let me home yesterday on the condition that I drink, drink drink. Spoke with the surgeon and he said that they dont look at the amount of weight loss but more the % body fat, so he was ok with my weight loss so far. I paid ALOT of money for this op myself and now Im thinking its all just a waste of money

Amazing! well done!

wow thats amazing! well done!

brilliant idea! I love it!

Hi Hiya. Just wondering How rapid the weight loss was for you in the first cpl of weeks? I weighed myself on.Friday, 7 days post op and was thrilled with an 11lb loss, weighed myself again today , 11 days post op.. and I've lost Nothin since Friday. I'm a bit freaked out by that, was expecting a loss. I'm now thinking I'm gonna be one of those ppl who doesn't lose anything much after RNY. Feel like crying

25 lbs in 5 weeks is amazing! if I can say that in 3 weeks time at my 5 week mark I will be soooo happy! You look amazing btw! Well done on the loss!

omg love this post! sounds like I am reading about myself!! Freaks me out that skinny ppl say.."oh why don´t you just exercise and eat less"... grrrrr I cant keep anything a secret either! Good luck with your weight loss! when is your surgery? I am 10 days post op and feeling nearly normal again!

thank you DLCoggin. your reply made a lot of sense to me. of course I know deep down that we are all different and that I shouldnt compare.. but its hard. Yes my body is healing and is prob trying to figure out what has happened.. hehe. I am doing what I am supposed to be doing to the best of my knowledge.. and yes I will love the new me! just cant wait for it!

thats the thing jennamommy, I dont think my clothes feel any different BUT its very early days yet. I am prob just being very impatient hehe. just cant wait to slip into a nice pair of diesel jeans!! hehe

thanks for all the replies. I feel a bit better after reading them. I DID have a bit of a cry today. I paid for this operation myself and was thinking today that it was all for nothing!!! :/ but as I said, feeling a little better. have been promising myself NOT to weigh in until Friday but I just couldnt help it. will have to try harder. I have struggles for so long with my weight and was so looking forward to seeing the scales actually move DOWN..... Have to just keep going, I have no choice now

Hi guys. I'm 8 days post op and my stomach is going MAD with rumbling sounds, I can feel it from my pouch rumbling all the way down the intestines if u know what I mean. Plus I have been having diarrhea the past 3 days, is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

Thanks so much for the replies. I feel a bit more relaxed about it. My husband and kids were keeping their distance from me coz I was stinking, between farting and pooping! Yuk but you will b glad to hear that today, my poop was much more solid, so that made me real happy. But I am missing my daughter's football game coz I don't dare leave the house. But 11bs gone in 8 days, in thrilled!

Great well done! Can't wait to see myself changing!
