Can I ask if everybody is seeing the same as me, so many comments in Chinese about college, is it something I've done? Many thanks

Just wondered can whoever runs the site block them this may be only solution thanks.

I'm on the app looks like someone's hacking and advertising university! Let's hope they give up soon!! Glad it's not just me though,cthanks guys x

Wow you have done an amazing job and look fantastic xx

I was very similar to yourself and it took me 13 weeks to see my surgeon, during that time I could not eat and even drinking was making me sick and nauseous, turns out I had a stricture, the gap for food to go down is meant to be 3 çm and mine was 6mm so the stretched it twice and got it to 12mm and things are getting better slowly but surely, I'm 6 months post op and have lost 8stone in total, I would do it again even though it has been awful. I would suggest to speak with your consultant and you may need a endoscope to see what is happening. I hope that you feel much better soon x

I was allowed normal coffee straight after surgery while in the hospital, I just didn't enjoy the taste it tasted burnt so I now have it really weak and with full milk and protein powder love it!!!

Im 6 months out and have just been stretched but only got to 12 mm so still being sick and struggling with food, if your 9 months out how many times did you get stretched? Thanks

That's fantastic well done xxx

Hi I am 6 months post op and have just had my first drink of alcohol, I had about 7 sips of rose wine and the I started sweating profusely but was shivering all over and felt sick!! What was that and has anybody else had the same happen to them? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for the replies, I had a feeling that it may have been dumping syndrome but as I've not had it before I wasn't sure. Won't be trying that again which is a good thing as it's wasted calories anyway! Never mind this is a big learning curve and I will take it as it comes. Thanks everyone good luck on your journeys.

Stricture!!

I'm 5 months out and I really was struggling eating solid food, had a endoscope on Wednesday and it showed that I had a structure. We are meant to have a 3cm gap for our food to go down and mine was 8mm they even struggled to get the scope through to stretch it. They stretched it to 12mm and I have to go back in 2 weeks for them to stretch it again. Keep an eye on your eating and if you continue to struggle I would suggest to get back in touch with your consultant. Good luck.

Wow you look amazing, truly an inspiration well done!

I had this and it was a reaction to the blood pressure meds I was put on. Hope it settles down.

As the title says I've lost 50lbs in 5 months since my rny surgery, is that a low amount to lose? Been in a bit of a stall the last two weeks and have only lost 2lbs hope I start losing again it's a constant worry! Any comments will be helpful thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for the advice thegirlinthepinkscarf and berry78 when you look at the big picture and long term it does look good, just gotten keep positive and push through this stall! Thanks again good luck in your journeys.

Wow you look fantastic [emoji7] hope your surgery in June goes well, keep up the good work you are an inspiration

I spoke with my surgeon about exactly the same thing, he said the food that's getting stuck is food that will mush together like Mac an cheese and chicken and bolognaise but I'm fine with things like crackers and mash and soups, he said just mix it up but take my time because every one is different but we will all get there in the end. Hope this helps x

Same here I'm 8 weeks out and hate food, nothing tastes the same and anything thicker than soup gets stuck after about 3 teaspoons full. Please tell me it gets easier [emoji21]

I also had c-section and I'd rather have had that again than the rny surgery, i was in sooooo much pain for the first 2 days then it started to settle down, so hopefully you will start to feel better soon x

Aw I feel for you momto6kids I also had a horrible time and regretted having surgery but 2 weeks later I felt much better, just do what berry78 has said and keep trying to drink little sips but maybe more often. Big hugs to you it does get better x

I had vivid dreams/ nightmares starting at my pre op diet and have continued, I am 6 weeks post op and they are still vivid sometimes I wake up thinking it was real!!

So I'm 6 weeks post op and for the last week I've been feeling nauseous all day every day, I've lost 23 lbs since my surgery even with a 2 week stall so I'm happy about that but I just can't get back on my feet as I feel so I'll. Did anyone else have the same problem or is anyone else going through this now. Any suggestions of what to do would be much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Sadie but that may also be the case with me trying new foods. Will keep a close eye on things though in case it gets worse. Thanks for your advice. Cheryl x

I'm glad it resolved for you cinnamon2015 coz that must have been awful , will keep an eye out and see what doctor says
