Amazing. I'm 5 stone 11 down and have another 6 to shift.

wow 8 stone off - well done! Sometimes I still feel like that's impossible, I think with the weight loss happening quickly so far, my head hasn't had time to catch up, so although I know it's possible it seems alot further off than it really is (4 stone 4lb to go) ..... did you ever feel like that?

That's been fine, the issue I had was going from liquids to puree - the nausea was horrific so I ended up skipping the puree stage and went onto soft solids at 3 weeks. I do find I'm living off cheese omelettes, chicken and peanut butter atm, as veg makes me feel a bit ill still. I concentrate...

.....and today I weigh 3 stone 10 lb less than I did back then :-) still a long way to go but I'm happy with my sleeve

With regards to sipping fluids - nothing for 15 mins before or 30 mins afterwards. Other than that - keep sipping, if u take too much it will feel like a marble is resting in your chest (if it happens just 'jiggle' a bit and it helps it go - I had to do it at the wls support meet I met you at...

you're more than welcome :-)

Here anytime you feel the need for a rant Will and pleased to see that you're ok **hugs**

no they don't. I could send you some before you go as I've got quite a few left, my wind wasn't that bad (prob cos I had a drain in).

I got mine from eBay - was cheaper than Boots. Make sure you get the chewable version :-)

from the moment the funding is agreed the NHS have to carry out the procedure within 18 weeks. I suspect he will give you an idea of when at your next appointment :-)

Yeah puree for another week. Soft food will be interesting for the nausea lol

I'm fine, I used to have some weird reactions to food prior to the surgery (prob why I tended to stick to doritos and dips lol) and it's just working out now what my body likes, but am not quite 3 weeks out so it's a slow, steady learning curve :-)

I had it for the 1st 2 weeks post-op but then it vanished. Sadly I then ended up with chronic nausea lol, but it's starting to go.

Yes it's meeee! Lol. Envious of ur trouble free puree stage. So far today has been better but stayed away from weetabix

My half weetabix has made me feel very nauseous both times I've tried it for about 8 hours.

It does indeed. Just had a weetabix - it was divine! Lol

The codeine was nothing to do with the sleeve.

I started puree last night, I was advised by my GP not to start mush while I was on liquid codeine as they didn't want me straining due to constipation from the codeine. However, I came off the codeine last Saturday and so started mush last night :-)

still on liquid diet so don't really feel like I'm doing any work atm, only 9 days and onto mush I go - that will be a different ball game lol

yep I lost 11 lbs x
