So sorry to hear you are suffering so much Fatbloke1. I really think you need to speak to your team, they are best placed to advise as, however good your GP is, he probably doesn't have much experience with WLS. I do hope you get some answers soon and start to feel better

I agree with Lynn. Do not worry about bothering the bariatric team, just do it, it is what they are there for. Hope you get some relief sooner rather than later.

Take care x

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I also do not feel hungry at the moment, so I make sure that I eat at roughly the same time each day and I am trying really hard with the fluids. Good luck

Id get in touch with the team at L&D if it was me. I rang yesterday with some questions and Jane the nurse called back within 10 minutes. I know they can get you back into clinic with an emergency so its best they are made aware, not sure about transport though. They may need to monitor you on the ward for a few days and at least get some nutrients into you by IV or something... Dont leave yourself suffering, this is meant to be a positive change for your future... Take care

[60'sBabe]

Hi luluah, thank you. Hope you are doing well.

 

[fatbloke1]

Hi all , hope your all well and fading away and those pre -op NOT been put off by my little adventure , I was told it wouldnt be easy and I took it as a lesson ,,,,,,, Do as your told !!! , im on the up and getting better day by day ........id like to ask some advice for folk post -opp , although im never hungry I do crave something like an iced lolly for something cold just to have , are there anygood ones out there anyone can recommend please if they got the same cravings .........and no im not going to sit n eat box after box ........silly thing is since surgery my taste has altered , somethings taste so sweet , and im not a fan of sweet thing inparticular , and water is sooooo boring x

 

[Toni Osborn]

Hey fatbloke, oddly enough I had the same craving so made my own with sugar free squash they were yummy and helped my water intake as well glad things are looking up for you though! I have my 6 week check up on Monday and can't wait to show the surgeon how far I have come in these 6 weeks. I have loads of questions for him too about what I can try eating ect lol I ventured to wotsits and quavers and crispbreads with tuna mayo and or a cheese triangle it's so yummy x

 

[fatbloke1]

Lo Toni , glad your doing well and keep it up , and thanks for those ideas Crispbreads with Tuna , yum yum yum , funny how you had the same craving and if I cant find any I think il make some like you , tho weird thing is Im finding squash sooo sweet even if diluted really weak , I think my biggest problem is being a big well tattooed geezer with a shaven head and a goatee ( no I havent got a couple of Staffies) my stubborness is a big hurdle , wish they could take that away at time of Surgery too !!! I also suffer from COPD and as I got weaker my breathing got worse so the whole thing was a mish mash really , Luckily im sorting things out now . I will say that a 4 weeks in I havent weighed myself once BUT when the GP took my blood pressure he could actually get the normal band around my arm , normally I have to have the leg one on my arm , and also iv had a couple of tops on that were once tight are now comfortable .......so its sounding good .,...tho I still will not weigh myself until 6 week check up !!!

 

[weegie]

Wow fatbloke1 your ability to not jump on the scales is amazing. To be honest, what they say isn't the be all and end all, the blood pressure thing is a real measure. Well done young man! Still I Reckon at 6 weeks you will get a nice surprise.

[weegie]

Iceland do sugar free ice poles in a box of 40 and I think they are only a pound... i have about 3-4 most days... 5 different flavours in the box... they are thirst quenching and sweet...

I looked at rocket lollies and mini milks the other day but all have sugar so I wouldn't know what else to recommend....
