    Just been given a date! Frantically packing hospital bag !

    Hiya, im feeling great thanks, how are you? My weights still stalled, not really lost anything for 3 weeks which I'm gutted about but im feeling good. Lost 13 kg since op. I'm not interested in food, forget to eat and when I do I can only eat about 4 teaspoons full. Can't understand why I'm not...

    VSG surgery date 12 th July

    I'm feeling great thanks, went back to work on Wednesday, having to wear leggings instead of my normal uniform pants as they were rubbing on my tummy and causing pain. I'm still stalled though. I've lost 10kg since op but I've been stuck on 110kg for 2 weeks :( Im a nurse on a hospital ward so...

    VSG surgery date 12 th July

    I feel your pain with the puree! I have to force myself to eat it. I've seen people on here saying they are allowed tuna mayo at the puree stage but im saving that until I move onto mashed food! Yay! Never thought I'd be excited by something like that! I'm craving so many things that I don't...

    Thanks Lj, ive had the 3 meals today and ive also upped my water intake. I've found that I can stomach carrot and swede pureed with grated cheese and ive had a couple of snacks of light cheese triangles too. I'll keep on it, I only used to eat once a day before. Old habits die hard, ive had...

    VSG surgery date 12 th July

    Hi jojo, glad to hear you're doing well x I lost 10kg after op but nothing for about 5 days. I went away and walked 10k steps each day, only had 2 lattes and a cup a soup each day but lost absolutely nothing. Feeling a bit depressed really as it started so well but I've majorly stalled. I don't...

    VSG surgery date 12 th July

    I have a 3 year old and he's been a nightmare all day :( definitely a long way off being a slave :) luckily I think ive turned a corner, not tired or hungry, no headaches and I've managed to get loads done (with rests in between). I've taken hayfever medication and that's stopped me coughing so...

    VSG surgery date 12 th July

    Haha YES the adverts drive me bonkers too! Even watching This Morning got me all irritable because of the cooking and food tasting :( I havnt had any solid food for nearly 2 weeks now if I include the pre op diet and I'm not sure how much longer I can cope just having fluids. Like you I've had...

    Compression Stockings

    I've had to inject clexaine for 5 days post op too, it is strange that they all follow different rules. You'd think there would be guidelines on best practise and everyone would just follow them. I'm doing ok thanks, sore on my right side when I cough or sneeze, think it's muscle damage from...

    VSG surgery date 12 th July

    Hi I've just come across this thread, I had my sleeve done on 11th July. How are you all getting on? I'm having problems with pain on my right side when I cough and I'm tired but apart from that physically ok. My family all ordered dominoes on my first night home from hospital and it was pure...

    Compression Stockings

    Hi, I had stockings on after my sleeve on Tuesday. The staff were insistent that I got out of bed and had a shower so I asked them to take the stockings off. After the shower I couldn't bend enough to put them back on so left them off. One nurse said I'm supposed to wear them until I got home...

    4 days post op and milk makes me cough

    Thanks both, Ive had slim a soup, strained to take out the lumps but they only had 50 calories in them and nothing much nutritional, no protein. I just feel weak and want to sleep but have a banging headache. Milk made me cough prior to the sleeve but no where near as bad as it does now. A few...

    4 days post op and milk makes me cough

    Hi I'm 4 days post op with a sleeve I have occasional pain in my right side, ive done a bit of research and think it's just muscle damage. Sneezing or coughing feels like somethings ripping inside me and makes me scream. What's making it worse is that anything with milk or milk protein in makes...

    Thanks, it's nice to know it's all worth it. Keeps you going knowing there's light at the end of the tunnel. Im home now, had surgery at about 6.30pm last night.

    Just been given a date! Frantically packing hospital bag !

    Thanks, I'll remember that....... I hope. I'm finding it difficult to remember anything whilst on this liver shrinking diet, probably all in my head but my brains not functioning properly. Did you have complications with your op? I'm hoping to be out the next day as I have a 3 year old to look...

    Just been given a date! Frantically packing hospital bag !

    Thanks for both of your advice, ive just been and bought some pj's and a comfort bra. Hope I will only be in the one night as planned because I've only enough stuff for one day. Can't believe I've only got 2 days until my op, after almost 2 years of waiting and I get 4 days notice lol :) xx
