Hey I'm 10 months post op! Nearly at goal weight now. All I can say is that there are times it has dropped off so fast! And other times I have gone weeks and weeks and not lost a pound! Then it...

I was prescribed Lansoprazole by my surgeon on a reducing dose over 3 months post op so never had any problems until that stopped. Now i just take Gaviscon or ranitidine as needed and both work...

Ok I am going to confess here! (please don't flame me!! hehehe) I'm 4 months post op and I occasionally have fizzy drinks now. I am not saying anyone should do this or that it is a good thing at all!...

I'm single with no children so I can be compltely selfish and no one cares! Hehehe :-)

Love these questions! You've clearly got your head screwed on! It is a big big decision and I think you're asking the right things and I hope my answers help a bit! :-)

1) How has your life...

Hi everyone,

I'm 4 months post op now! Have lost 44lbs altogether. I'm losing it slowly now as my weight is getting lower. But thats cool it's still going in the right direction! :-)

Anyway...

What can i say! It has been a crazy few months since my sleeve op in June. Everything has changed. I have had about every challenge life can throw at you chucked at me but I'm still smiling :-)

After stalling at 201lbs for 3weeks I finally got into onederland hitting 198lbs this morning! What a happy day! Never thought I would get here!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice. I have split up with my boyfriend now. It is really sad because I wanted to work things out and did try but sometimes it is just not meant to be. I...

A lot of people are working from home or leaving work early. Trouble tends to start after 4pm in the town centres. Unfortunately I don't have the pleasure of doing that as I'm a nurse and need to be...

Thanks guys! I braved the outside to pop to the local corner shop. Possibly the only shop in this borough still open! Unfortunately I couldn't get much of any nutritious value but got plenty of water...

In case anyone hasn't seen the news London has become a warzone! Unfortunately I'm not likely going to be able to leave my flat for a few days! My local supermarket is currently on fire and the rest...

Thanks for the advice people. I need to think about things a bit but a lot of your comments make a lot of sense to me. We have only been together a year so obviously it was a lot to put on a fairly...

Thanks dutchgirl. I hope I have your strength if it comes to it! I would love to just have a stright conversation with him about it but he's the sort of guy who will just say everything is fine when...

Things have become a bit strained lately between me and my boyfriend and I can't help but wonder if my having the sleeve has anything to do with it. I'm feeling really down about it today

I'm 8...

Congratulations. I'm sure the next month will fly by! I know it's a bit scary but for me it is the best thing I ever did. I am 8 weeks post op and already it has changed my life dramatically. I spent...

Ellemarie Lol! " A bit clownish" thats a great description and it made me laugh because that is what I looked like yesterday!

I wasn't told to do anything except starve from midnight the night before. So I had a huge slap up meal the day before!

I think most people do the sensible thing at least attempt some sort of pre...

I have loads of clothes from when I was a size smaller than I am now. Luckily I kept hold of it even though I'd gained weight. So glad I did now. Just need to get through this size and then I'll have...

good idea! Yeah we have charity shops with cheap stuff! Didn't think of that I'll have to find one nearby!

LOl I actually did the opposite and ate a huge carbolicious italian meal the night before surgery! I was only told to starve from midnight before and was in thetre by 8am! In fairness it made no...

I was determined not to buy any new clothes for as long as possible post op. It seems like a complete waste of money to buy new clothes that will likely be too big soon! So I am sitting here in size...

very interesting article!! Thanks for posting!

Mellzy I didn't have any pain at all so I guess they had it well under control! I felt a bit sensitive for a few days but more just fear of doing myself damage to be honest! I was normal again after...

I hear so many stories that make me very glad I didn't opt for the band because I very nearly did! I was fortunate enough to meet a great surgeon who actually warned me about the reality, the...
