Well all is well in post op land pains when moving are better each day able to do something I couldnt do the day before. One thing I have noticed is that everything tastes much sweeter than pre-op I have much less juice in my glass as I was finding it too sweet and too salty with soups. My other senses are heightened also ie the dogs are very smelly and need a shower lol

Rest of the day was uneventful

I too have been very busy in and out the loo for the first two days after clear liquids. I thought it could be either milk or veggie soup, or both. Anyway, it was only a couple of days.
@Yvessa, I'd never heard of dumping with a sleeve. Is that really a possibility?

Yes, I know several sleevers who dump.

 

[Bally]

Opps...I thought it couldn't happen to me. I'd better pay attention to that too, then.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Yayyyy

Well the start of week five came as another no loss :sigh: but doctors have given me the go ahead to start some of my tablets again (which i couldnt take liquid form as explained earlier) so starting with thyriod to help with fatigue and water retention tablets. First day after taking them I felt sick all day wasnt sure if it was related or not was still abit yucky 2nd day but today all OK so far and best bit about it is (i know mid wk weigh in but oh well) ive lost 2lb which is my 1st loss since I was at hospital. Ive also ditched the wheel chair but told to stay away from crutches for a while longer so im using my walking stick and mobility scooter so im getting some excercise. Go me ive managed almost all of 2 aqua fit classes i did suffer big time afterwards with fatigue but it was worth it to feel im doing something positive today is a happy day..........

 

[SleeveGirl]

Sorry to butt in, but Bally when I had my sleeve I used to dump very badly with any form of chocolate. Unfortunately, now with my sleeve-pass, chocolate seems to go down a treat and stay down! lol Dammit!

 

[Bally]

Thanks Sashie.
I still haven't tried chocolate. Tried an ice cream and, fortunately, haven't dumped.

I have read your post with interest, I too suffer from ME and have worried about the pending op. I am having a band fitted next week. The ME is the main reason I am having the band, I can't wait to reclaim my life and be pain free. Good luck for the future and keep posting xx

 

[rickysmrs]

Nice to Meet you Mia good luck with your pending op an just remember pace pace pace xxx
