Eggs, beans, protein yoghurts, soups like chicken and such are good for protein. I like the Bounce balls and trekk bars and stuff too, expensive but filling and if you can find them in a sale, even better

I have made friends with my local coffee shops... up your protein would be my suggestion, it's what I keep being told by my team when I say I'm tired a lot

How's it going fellow sleever?

that sounds fine honestly, you've just lost so much weight at this point that it is going to slow down no matter what! It's still coming off, so that's a good sign you're doing okay

If it's a nice G&T you miss, try stirring the bubbles out? I know it's not quite the same, but ice and a slice and the lack of bubbles won't be such a thing. Though I was told no booze for 6 months too, due to the healing in the sleeve

sleeve here, was told no fizzy drinks forever because the gas will stretch your stomach and cause you pain and potential damage. Not worth the risk

It might be too much carbs, not enough protein. SW lets you load up on carbs, and those aren't as good for us. try cutting down the pasta etc and eat more protein goodness maybe? Sticking to the plan but less of their 'eat all you like'

I find it easier to take the forceval before I eat in the morning.. if I take it with actual food I end up having trouble with retching (combined with all the other morning meds) so I tend to have a protein coffee or a yoghurt in the morning to make it easier with my meds

welcome! we april surgery types have to stick together!

I'll copy out the handout I was given for soft foods breakfast ideas- weetabix, porridge or ready brek, shreddies soaked well in milk, light or diet yoghurt, scrambled eggs meal ideas- minced meat, oily fish scrambled egg, baked beans, grated cheese, pulses or lentils, quorn. Over-cooked...

I worked the last 2 nights for night shifts.. and for the first time ever working nights I was fighting sleep.. Must be the massive iron drop we get this time of the month. And I am starting my yoga soon! I have a copy of the Diamond Dallas Page yoga and I am itching to try it

I clearly spoke to soon.. period started today.. and suddenly allllll the fatigue

Not really, but I haven't felt the promised tiredness at all, I was told when I came home I would be tired a lot.. but I really haven't been. It takes me a little longer to get up in the mornings, but nothing drastic

Yeah, I'm getting my first b12 done this week to help me. Though I have forgotten what day.. I am gonna have to call my nurse and check :D

Good luck!

They might have been knocked/damaged, blackening can be a sign of dying teeth. Unless you've been eating a lot of licqorice. Book in to see a dentist and get them to check them out
