Princess, yes! Get up and walk around but dont try any silly stunts like craft fairs 4 days post op ;) hehe You say you dont eat much now, tastes can change post op so you may surprise yourself!

Audra, that's AMAZING! Well done! Over 2lb a day :eek: Im so glad to hear your migraine has gone! As you said earlier you're an old pro at this, your body was just having a hissy fit! :p

Nicola, wow! 3/4 tin of soup?? Done well! How can you fit all that in? "Little bullets of joy" made me laugh! :D I need to start drinking as much as you seriously!

Kimberly, Making your own yoghurt is a great idea! And ice cream. Mmm I miss ben & jerry's cookie dough! :p Let us know how you get on! You may become our own WLS sugar free chef ;)

Butterfly, people told me not to read stories online because they only ever show the downside to WLS. Your story should be highlighted because you've been a great success! With the surgery, recovery and weight loss! A huge well done! :D

It's my Mums birthday today, everyone will be eating cake and takeaway and drinking alcohol etc So we're planning a flying visit today. Ive not lost my love of sweet stuff. Ive been sickie on tuna & pork and dumped on brie so, for now at least, I cant tolerate fat but im fine on sugar. Good :) I didnt wanna miss out on an advent calendar this year! :p Hoping to weigh myself later. Been a week since last time. Still dont feel a difference, really worried ive gained or maintained :( We'll see!

Happ Sunday everyone! :)

There's no reason why it shouldn't be like mine :) I think a possitive attitude helps and you certainly have that :)
 
When I dumped I felt drunk! Felt light headed, dizzy, nauseous, tried to be sick but couldnt bring anything up, cold and out of breath. Once the nausea eased I managed to lay down and I fell asleep for 5 hours :/ It was horrible :(

Your body had got used to having regular nourishment, it may have been a shock to have nothing for hours on end! :( Are you feeling better now?
 
When you think of what Dumping is that is why it's so horrible. When the sugar that would have been absorbed in the stomach moves into the duodenum in draws up to 1.5ltr of fluid out of your circulating blood volume! That's why the blood pressure drops making you feel dizzy, nauseous, have palpitation etc. it's a big attack on the body and should be underestimated.
 
Ive just shocked myself by eating half a wheetabix drenched in milk! And a cup of coffee before that! Im comfortably full :) That was a big meal!

Just got dressed up ready to go round my mums. Hello curves haha Ive got a waist! Also my bra is now on the tightest fastening and Ive had to shorten my straps (probably to hold up my deflated floppy sock boobs lol!) Feeling good today :D Are you doing anything nice and christmassy today?

Wow, Audra, that is scary when its put like that. Is it any wonder we feel so crap when it happens. Can never tell though, could happen with anything!

Hi princess, if your worried contact your dietician and discuss it with them. You have to be positive going into surgery even if your scared. Kimberley is so right. After surgery you have to push yourself to get up and walk with lots of rest in between. We are all in this together! X

the walking is fine i understand that just wont leave the house as i know if i do i will overdo things like i try to do now with very limited mobility then suffer for a week in agony so i figure just walk about indoors cant gwet in trouble that way

Sounds like a great plan to me! Potter, potter, potter! :)
 
I'm staying at my mums after I've had my op, mainly to minimise the times I will need to climb the stairs to my flat - there's around 35 steps! And mum has a bungalow. It's also so I can be looked after as I won't be good on my own for a few days, Atleast from my point of view I won't be! But I can walk around the house and when I'm feeling a bit better and up to it - up and down the road or to the park and back (not even a 15 second walk) without looking like a lune! Xx

That's great, no one should be on their own after surgery! Glad you have someone to care for you afterwards. My mum will be coming over everyday to make sure Jason and the kids are pulling their weight and not driving me mad! C

My mum had no say in the matter heh I stay there often when I'm having a really bad time emotionally, so she's used to me being there and looking after me - even now I'm 25.. I stayed with her for a week when I had 5 teeth removed cause I was scared I'd bleed to death lol and good that your mum is gunna be coming round to keep everyone on their toes! But I'm sure everyone will be looking after you perfectly fine! X

i love my little bungalow it will do me just fine for pottering and then i can look forward to the day i dont need a carer coming in anymore and then to doing the stairs at my sons so i can see my grand babies rooms finally
 
i was watching a series of fat doctor today oddly enough on sky and was some amazing stories i would have been having my bypass in feb but they have it on hold as need more info from haematology first as i have a blood issue it seems no clue what but guess i will find out mean while still plodding along on the weight management diet but glad to see you are all doing so well and looking forward to that being me
 
Not too bad here. Still getting tired quite easily prob still not eating enough! Only one more week on liquids/purées then I can vary it a bit!
Still no interest in sugary stuff at all. Long may it continue :)
