Sassafrassa

I haven't read the rest of the comments but I was feeling sick all the time, couldn't eat and couldn't drink.... i looked at what if anything had changed and the nausea started when I went back on my contraceptive pill! I stopped taking the pill and no longer feel sick all the time or like I wanted to puke my guts up! Still need to talk to my surgeon about what to do now since me and this pill dont mix anymore!

Im 15 weeks post op and had my first sip of soft drink/soda the other day. I didn't die. I could feel the bubbles in my stomach so it was a weird sensation but not uncomfortable or anything like that. Think I had 3 sips over a couple of hours and that was enough as its too sweet now after not drinking it for 4 months. Each to their own, I say. Everyone is different!

You look amazing & happy! Good job!!

I had a donut ... then came the worst cramping for about half an hour and then a visit to the toilet with more pain. I also drank and apple and guava juice and about 15 mins later, no pain, but trip to the toilet where it all came gushing out. Not pleasant but safe to say I wont ever touch either of those things again! My suggestion would be when you try something new make sure you're home or have access to a toilet - quick! Haha

Sorry - im confused. The only reason i said to the initial post was to look at why they were having surgery was because they said they wondered if they really needed it and didnt want to feel on a perm diet.... just thought if they went back to their initial reason that would help them confirm they want the surgery.

Maybe you need to look at what made you decide to have the surgery in the first place?

I sought the approval from my family as well. Its a natural thing to do and if they dont support you it can make you feel like its the wrong decision. You sound like you know its the right decision for you. Theres heaps of different reasons why he chose to yell at you. Like heaps of people say, the sleeve is a tool to help you lose weight. Dont put added pressure on yourself about what ifs for after the surgery. Just focus on yourself and what you need to do, to get you to that surgery date you cant let the lack of support from one person change what you clearly know you need to do. People turn to surgery because theyve tried the 'regular' way. In reality the stats show that only 5% of people who lose weight non surgically keep the weight off. Hence why so many people yo yo diet and add on more pounds than before. Different things work for different people - and the sleeve can work

1. Seeing my collar bones and waist again 2. Buying matching underwear that's actually nice 3. Being able to cross my legs, and my legs sitting flush when I do 4. Having more options on where to by clothes 5. Being able to go to theme parks and fit in the rides with my nieces 6. actually feeling attractive and not just being the girl with the cute face 7. Wearing heels dancing again 8. Being comfortable on a plane 9. Fitting into any kind of seat without being crushed by the arms or worried it will break 10. Feeling like a normal girl not the fat one of the group!

He may just be scared... either way that was a horrible thing to say to you. You can DEFINITELY do this with or without him supporting your decision. At the end of the day its your body and you have to live in it ... and the entire process is scary so trust in your decision and yourself. good luck!!

Yep agree Find someone else!!!! I drank soda right up until my 2 week pre op diet and was allowed 1 diet coke a day on pre op. I had a diet coke maybe every second day and never usually finished it. But have not had coke since 5 dec. Thats super harsh for you!

Are you post op?? You should be cleared to go back to a normal diet at around 7-8 weeks? It does seem very harsh for having 3 sodas!

I did wonder if Costco here had it. I should call and check tomorrow! Think i only had like 15g max of protein today. So bad

Hey everyone. I live in Brisbane and wondering if anyone has found an Australian supplier of the premier protein drinks? Im really struggling to get my protein in and have read so many people on here using premier but I can't find if we have it here?? Thanks!

Im nearly 7 weeks post op and was advised for salad to be one of the last thing to be reintroduced into my diet as it is hard to digest. I do miss a good salad though! I'll probably try one soon.

I had sushi at 5 weeks post op. Only had 1. It was chicken and avocado. I just took it slow! I was happy!
