I am 19 days since surgery and I didn't think it would be so hard I am still on full liquids for another week and I just can't face any more - I am constantly tired and have nausea and vomiting - weight loss has been greats and no Hunger but some cravings but I feel completely miserable I know surgery is what I needed but I just want to feel human again - am I alone ??

I also bought one and am unsure if I could tolerate smoothie

Hi Guys I am looking for some guidance about when I should go back to work . I was sleeved on the 4th October my surgeon said recovery was 4/6 weeks but depends on the person - so far all has been good for me I'm feeling good in myself but I'm not sure if on day 5/6 if it's too soon to know if I'll be ok to go back to work in week or how I'll feel and cope at that point - I have a desk based job so physically it's not demanding but it can be quite full on and stressful at times - I am due to staples removed from wounds 17/10 should I wait till after I see doctor ?? Any help would be appreciated thanks Cathy

Hi I would like to speak with fellow Sleevers who have recently had surgery I had my surgery 4th oct 2014 left hospital yesterday Glasgow United Kingdom - so far between pre op diet to date lost 21 pound but I am really struggling with fluids and been very emotional and moody no hunger or desire for food at present !! How are u all getting on ??

I had my sleeve 4th oct - I have had head hunger but no stomach I'm satisfied - today I moved onto full liquids I had orange juice cream of chicken soup and low fat custard staggered through the day and could not finish it all off. I weighed myself and in 42lb down (16lb post op) from my HW 322 CW 280 GW164 My only regret do far is not having the surgery years ago.

Hi smacke - I had mine done for Free on the NHS in Glasgow Royal infirmary - by a surgeon by the name of mrs carol Craig who was wonderful- I heard she also sees private patients via Ross hall hospital in Glasgow - I was on the Glasgow weight management programme for nearly 2 years before getting surgery it was a long road to attend many many group and individual sessions with dieticians and physiologist- the critea for surgery on the nhs in Scotland has recently changed you should look into this with your local health board it's a long road but 1st rate service with free lifetime aftercare xx

Glasgow Scotland 4th of October I'm 8 days post op and 30 pounds lighter since starting pre-op diet

Thanks very much guys - yes I can drink at my desk and my work expect me to be out for the whole of October so if I get back sooner it's a bonus. I get the good and bad days I think I'm starting to see that myself - I can work from home and have logged on from home to respond to emails ect I think I will take next week off for sure and see how I feel at 2 week point as I don't want to rush back and regret it also see the impacts of reintroducing foods into my diet xx

I was 4th oct how u guys doing

I am on day 3/4 also was sleeved 4th oct - I'm finding it particularly easy at present I have thought about some old favorites but not craved or caved they way I would have on a regular diet - I am also 9.5lb down since surgery - I lost 14lb on the liver reduction diet over 12 days and starting to feel a small difference in clothing long may the weight loss last

I have struggled with the multi vits I'm on soluble ones horrible smell about 20 sips to get then down

Are you on liquids like chicken soup yet ?

I have been prescribed a soluble one tablet a day called forceval it tastes horrid they accidentally gave me the capsule (large) yesterday in. The hospital which I was able to swallow and digest no problem before they noticed the error lol this really surprised me ..

Hi I had my sleeve 4th October not far behind you guys looking forward to heating and sharing update over next few months Cathy

Aw Maggie it's good to know I'm not alone - I know my husband has felt it the last 48 hours - I heard moody but I took that to be around the need for food I'm not yet craving food but my hormones certainly feel all over the place - I'm struggling to take the soluble vitamins
