Your in the best place, thoughts and prayers with you

Hi all, Looking for a bit of moral support and guidance, I had a gastric sleeve on November 7th, all went well at first but seven days later I suffered internal bleeding in the new stomach due to incorrect medication. Thankfully I servived and am now back at home. I have now progressed from the liquid diet and am now on the sloppy diet, I have suffered greatly from vomiting since starting this sloppy diet, is this part of the learning stage with the stomach and does it pass??? And will I ever be able to eat small solid food again?? So far I have lost nearly 39 LBS, so am really happy but just a little concerned about the above. You might have guessed or not but I live over in the UK and we really don't have any support groups to help and guide you on your new journey. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Adrian England, GB

Hi all, thanks for the replies and your advice. Sloppy foods would be like baby foods, I think and hope that due to the complications that I had a week later everything will start to calm down again soon. I am starting to get increased energy levels, each day is a better day :-), due to see the surgeon at week 6 so I hope by then to at least enjoy a soft cheese and/or small bits of chicken. Sad but reassured that others have experienced what I am going through, at least I know that there will be and end at some point, support over here is nonexistent you are given a number to call if you have any issues and then you get pushed out the door to get on with it. God Bless you all and Happy Thanks Giving to you and your families, will keep you updated as a go through all the different phases and be very grateful for advise.
