Maybe they missed a stone that is stuck in your liver ?

I hope you get a doctor who is willing to investigate your issues thoroughly, white stool is not a good sign have they looked at your pancreas and or liver? You need to find someone who will treat your case as urgent and run a bunch of tests all at once not just 1 test and say oh that was clear and send you home with no answers. Maybe ask for a specialist appointment with an endocrinologist. Wishing you all the best hope you get answers soon . Just read white stool can be a sign of a lack of bile. Did you say you had your gallbladder out already ? Given the pain you have after eating I am wondering if you have a blocked bile duct, this can sometimes happen if there has been a stone move from the gallbladder. On the vitamins how do you feel if you don't take them? I can't take them I feel awful so I just don't however I have had a sleeve so it's a little different but there are liquid vitamins and other supplements that would work the same way that may agree with you better. Keep us up to date on how you are going

My Biggest change: I don't make excuses to avoid going out anymore. Biggest surprise: how hard the first 4 to 6 months were, then how much I can actually eat now. Biggest challenge: not to drink coke and eat all my favourite snacks Biggest personal Victory: to many to list some small like being able to wipe my bum without feeling like I was going to do myself an injury, lol. Here I will add one Biggest disappointment: loosing my hair 😫 and loose skin but the trade off is worth it I think.......I do miss my hair though and the fact my last hairdresser visit was not good is making it worse

I am the same as you, I think I have said this in reply to a few of your comments 🤣🤣.....sleeve twins........🤣🤣. Prior to surgery I was scared my stomach would be to small and I would only eat a bite or 2 of food for the rest of my life .....how wrong I was

That's really unusual for a sleeve patient to have dumping like that.

looking forward to seeing your pics too, before my sleeve i though nah i wont get Plastic surgery but now i am thinking maybe i will i hate that bit of tummy that hangs under your knickers

its still early days, try not to drink your calories or feelings though, a therapist is a good idea though and I think for hubby too, have you asked him what it is about you having the surgery that he is finding difficult to deal with ? Can I be so bold as to suggest that maybe its your hormones too not knowing you age makes it difficult but I started hormone patches after my surgery cause I just couldn't deal with being peri-menopausal and how the surgery was making me feel and it really helped. As for your sisters I have a friend who I discovered likes to encourage me to eat what I shouldn't and don't really want to, she suggested we go to a French patisserie for lunch and all sorts of other naughties which I politely declined, then you get the friends that are at the other end and question everything you eat and think you should only be eating lettuce lol. So just do what's best for you and not to please others. lord knows its hard enough for us to make the right choices or we wouldn't be here right ?

In the early pre op and post op stages you will feel like their are many things you wont be able to eat or drink again. Let me tell you I was one of those people I honestly believe my life would never be the same again but I can happily tell you I am 12 months post op and there isn't anything I can't eat or drink.

My experience is the same as everyone has said but the regrowth I have coming through is curly !!

can they replace it with another one straight away so you have longer ?

Given the balloon is only temporary I don't think Malnutrition would be an issue. I had a friend who had the balloon and I know she was uncomfortable and vomited a lot. I don't know if this is possible so I will ask, can they deflate the balloon at all or is it set at the level it is now ? if they can maybe get it deflated a little bit ? I believe my friend said it got easier towards the end.

Agreed,my surgeon also said temporary higher cholesterol levels can be normal mine is 7.2 I am not taking statins yet going to give it a bit longer. Having said that I have the genetic type of high cholesterol so I am going to get the scan they do to check for calcium build up in your heart and arteries to see if I do need medication

You need to every careful you stomach is still healing.There is a reason for the post op food guidelines and I have to wonder if you are willing to eat this type of food so early how are you going to go In the long run

Depends what you call a stall, most surgeons dieticians don't class it as a stall until it's 6 weeks of no movement on the scales or tape measure. But lots of people here think a day or 3 with no movement is a stall and there are lots who gauge it somewhere in between.

Not really a question more of an observation and to see if anyone else experienced anything similar. So 10 days ago I got covid it wasn't to bad but I got a really sore throat lost my appetite and desire to drink mostly because it hurt so much but now I am having a hard time getting back into it. I can't stomach my morning coffee any more if fact I don't feel like drinking anything I feel nauseous most of the time and quite weak lack of food and drink. I am trying not to stress and I know it's still early days and most likely I am still recovering. I guess I am having a pity party but I want to feel better and get back to drinking and eating to help me feel better. On the plus side I have dropped 2 kg . Anyone else have covid effect them like this ?

Are you adding protein to your water ? You could try that to get it in.

Get rid of your scales then, ( I too am a daily weigher but I don't class anything as a stall until it's been 4 weeks without any movement. ) the further out you get the slower the movement in the scales I only record my weight once a month now and even though on the daily I don't see much difference I am still loosing a tiny bit each month.

I went through this too and still have days like this. Find a distraction, do you like art and craft ? I make cupcakes then give them away lol much to the delight of the recipient. I have also taken up kayaking with a friend. I think the trick is to have something else to do. I struggle on days were I don't have much to do and nightshifts when it's quiet. Be kind to yourself, how far out are you ? I am 1 year in a few days it's hard but you will get there.

Yes go to any Dr or even the ER especially now you have got to the point of passing out

I think this was the worst part of having covid besides the sore throat, my appetite still isn't what it was but it's getting there. While we don't wish any illness on anyone it's nice to know we aren't alone. Hope you are feeling better 🌻

I didn't tell anyone apart from 2 people before surgery because I didn't want the judgement or anyone to put their 2 cents in and talk me out of it or put scarey thoughts in my head God knows I did that just fine on my own. I also didn't want anyone at my work to know but that didn't work out either because I had to take extra time off work and turns out my boss is a blabber mouth. Tell who ,what and when you are comfortable. It's up to you but sometimes that control is taken from us in the end my whole town and extended friend circle knew . I even had people who would barely look at me before come up to me in the street to ask about it. So it's a hard one

Oh those spinning teacups are the worst I too have had a very bad experience on those and that was the last time I ever went on a ride.

Congratulations that's awesome 🏆

From what I remember your body can only process/ absorb a certain amount of protein at a time so any more would just be excreted out and a waste but check with your dietician to see what they say

The only exercise I have done is a bit of walking, and recently I bought a kayak and I now kayak for around 2 hours once a week when my shifts allow. I dreamt last night of running on the beach does that count as exercise? 😅😅 I had big plans of joining the gym etc but it hasn't happened yet.
