Attention ! Australian Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I am so jealous of you all who have to take Fiber and laxatives! I know I won't feel the same if the tables are turned but I'm coming up on 5 months of the other problem! I hope that the colonoscopy prep has reset things. It worked that way when I last had this problem a couple years ago. As yet unexplained.

I had a colonoscopy a few years ago too..... didn't find anything with me either. I just have to constantly take something to keep regular. today was the day :) I did it............. then it didn't stop!!!!!!!!!!! I had the WORST stomach cramps and it was very painful but it's done.... will keep up with the benefibre and might try osmolax next if there is still an issue. I have the max amount of benefibre.... 8 tspn!! thanks everyone :D

I was so hoping that I could get up to the Gold Coast and meet everyone but it just isn't going to work out! Hope you have a great time and next time I plan to be there!
We understand Sue. I will be traveling to Sydney regularly for work next year so I am sure we will have an opportunity to meet then.

Not sure. I haven't heard of a connection although if I am a bit hungry when I go to bed I find it a bit harder to get quality sleep.< /p>

That's it! I'm so annoyed, another 6 week stall. Im sure this is the end of my loss now. The stalls are just more frequent and longer now. I think I actually need to drink more Water though as I'm only getting in 1 to 1 and a half litres a day.

Can anyone tell me if peppermint de gas tablets are okay to have after being sleeved?

I was sleeved on the 1st of October! Had lots of gas from both ends and after the leak test had the runs but that seems to have ended now.

I am still feeling like an invalid but hey I am drinking more each day and feeling a little more better each day so just have to take it one step at a time!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
