I am sorry for your loss. He looked like he was a much loved member of the family. I hope news of your surgery date is helping with coping with your loss. All the best. TB x

Hello Lilac. I remember you. I have recently returned to the forum after a long absence. Please drop by more often. You look fantastic. Best wishes TB x

I had my ops at Walsall. I have never heard of a nursing episode. I would give them a ring and get clarification. It could be to have bloods done as they run some tests that have to be done within a week of the surgery. Good luck. TB x

I am pleased to report no sickness. I tried the fage and strawberries again and ate them very slowly. I wanted to eliminate them as a cause as I really like the combination and with the protein in the fage it is a good way to get it in. I hope it was just an isolated incident. This whole...

Thank you @Bling Babe. TB x

Thanks @Mazza. I am beginning to wonder now if It was dumping. I must admit I am not feeling too good after my meal this evening. Just need to monitor things. I never dumped with the sleeve so rather foolishly thought it would be the same with the bypass. TB x

I had sickness last night which is worrying me a little. It is the second time since I had my revision surgery it has happened. I guess I should not panic. I was eating some fage yoghurt with a few strawberries chopped small into it. I had left a big gap from eating my evening meal before I...

I was in such a desperate state before I had the revision surgery that I was living day to day just holding on. I came back and lurked on the forum while I was recovering from the surgery. I concentrated on my teams guidance for the first 9 weeks. I guess in my mind I had not processed the...

Thanks Mazza. It came as a bit of a shock. I still feel full so delaying my meal for tonight just to avoid any sickness issues. Your advice is as always sound. Thanks TB x

I spoke to the GP today about the zinc deficiency and taking increased multivitamins. She understood my concerns and reassured me that doubling the normal dose would not cause any harm because much of what is in the tablets does not stay in the system. It made me realise that I really know...

Hi Mazza. Thanks for your kind words. I did wonder about absorption which is why I booked to speak to the doc. I don't know the extent of the doctors experience of WLS so it could be a bit of a difficult conversation. Thanks for all the tips on the foods with zinc. I will try introducing...

Thank you for your kind words. I never started a diary on here, just posted here and there. I always meant to start a diary but after what happened with my first WLS it took a long time to get over the shock of it and I just never got round to starting... By coincidence I started to read yours...

Bless you. Thanks. Today is a week since the fall and it is as painful as ever. The painkillers are causing constipation. Mr TB keeps looking at my arm with furrowed brows. I know he is worried. I explained what happened but I am not sure how much he understands. It is so difficult. I...

Hi Mazza. Hope you are well. I went back to the hospital on Wednesday. The shoulder was too swollen and painful for them to do anything. I saw the consultant and he confirmed that I have torn away the ligament. So I have a bone sticking up which you can see and feel and that will be a...

Thank you all. TB x

I think the struggle with whole food is all in my mind. Having gone so long with not being able to keep anything down before the revision surgery I am afraid I will start being sick again. I feel 'safe' with softer consistency food which is easier to chew then swallow. I cannot keep eating...

Hello all. I have had an accident. I had a fall in my garage on Sunday and have done severe damage to my left shoulder. I landed on it full weight straight onto a concrete floor. I went to A&E and was x rayed, put in a sling and told to come back to the hospital today. Today I was given a more...

Welcome back:hugs:. TB x

Thank you for your kind words Sarnie. My hair is very thin at the front. I will look into the Biotin and Zinc you suggested. TB x

Oh Mazza. You have been through the wars and are still battling. That hair condition and the treatment sounds horrendous. I am not a big fan of the docs but it sounds like you could do with them taking some bloods and doing some tests to determine why you are experiencing these various...
