Recommended Posts

Hello

I'M STARVIN !! still can't swallow any food at all. Havin trouble keepin Fluid down can only manage tiny sips. Phoned out of hours Dr he said it sounds like oesphagitis is back and I need barium swallow done I've just gone on my Doc's website and got emergency app for the morning. Oh the joys ! :thumbdown:

ps.I don't feel this is directly linked to band it's because I stopped meds because they were tablets and couldn't be broken or crushed due to time release. I hope this prevents others making the same mistake if on meds long term.

Oh poor you, I hope the doc sorts you out tomorrow, I'm sure he/she will. I hope ur not in too much pain x

Yes I emailed fred and he confirmed that there is defo no dates left in August. He also says dates are starting to fill up for october.

I have been ok recently eating but last night tried to eat a breaded chicken breast had the horibble tightness and then was sick. I think it might be really trying to concentrate on chewing and eating really really slowly. Jx

Let's hope ur sister and partner can sort a date out soon. I booked about 2 months in advance but could've got in quicker. Are there no Friday 13th's coming up??!! I was banded on Friday 13th and was the only one!! :thumbup: Superstitious lot!

Poor u - I hope you can get a bit more food down. I've not actually been sick yet but there have been a few close calls! A few times (not recently) I've had that feeling when u produce lots of saliva and feel like ur going to:puke: hurl!

Thanks for all ur well wishes guys by the way. How was ur date Freckles and Mmm the grannies to be!!?!!

Gillian I've bought some arrowroot biccies they do help. I'm not a ginger tea fan to be honest so I'll leave that one, maybe some ginger biccies instead! I have'nt managed anything proper to eat today as feeling so nauseous! It's been crisps, crackers and biccies! I'll have to watch it but I'm trying to only eat them when the nausea is bad. I'm taknig pregnacare multi vits anyway so it should be OK. Tomorrow is another day, I'll make sure I'm better!

How's ur leaking Flirty, has it stopped?

Off to see the midwife tomorrow :thumbdown:

Tuscany on Friday...............woooooooop! Oh and I can eat pizza since I had a bit of a de-fill :scared2: - good job I'm only away for a week!

Hi Sammy, just in case I'm not on again much in the week, have a wonderful holiday and take good care of yourself, x

Anitahug - hope your problem is soon resolved, never had anything like that myself but sounds v unpleasant.

Homecare - hope your relatives can get a date sorted out soon, even if it is later than they would have preferred, it will soon come round.

Hope everyone else is doing fine, Bigsis xx

Thanks Sammy and homecare,

I had to go to out of hours he give me anti sickness injection,and when I came home I crushed a nexium (couldn't make me feel any worse) and went to bed.

I already feel much better have just had ice lolly and drink and they have stayed down :thumbdown: I'm going to take more at bed time. Here's hoping continue to improve, I really hope I won't need barium swallow tommorow because that drink we had to take after op for xray was BL**dy awful. But it was hilarious the look on everyone face when they came out.

Lisa/ Michelle how's it goin?

Clara where r u ?

yeh funnily i had the same thought 6 weeks ago and text her, she got cold feet and felt guilty about not being able to loose weight on her own, a wee shame if you feel that way as it starts the demons in her head, i tried to tell her she was doing it for the right reasons but she said she may in sep/oct.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
