I'm sorry I haven't been on but it's a very busy time right now. I received .5CCs at my last appt and man what a difference that little bit makes. I think I'm at my sweet spot. I can't eat much without vomiting becuase I'm too full. I also can't eat too fast or I'll vomit. Its really making me slow down and pay attention to my chewing and what I'm eating.

 

My weight isn't going down as much as I thought it would, but I must be slimming/toning becuase I keep getting compliments and folks keep asking me how much I've lost. I think its a side effect of all the exercising I've been doing so I'll take it as a positive and keep moving. I am happy to know that I am a standard size 18. I can pick up an 18 in a dress, pants what ever and know it will fit. I can't wait until I can say that about a 16 and then 14th. I know its coming.

 

Hopefully I'll be out of this plateau soon and the weight loss will resume. My nutritionist told me she thought i'd be a stair stepper. Someone who hangs around a certain weight for a while then go down all of a sudden. I think she may be right. ;)

Do you actually vomit or are you slimming?

That samething just happened to me. I got .8 ccs fill about 3 weeks ago. Every other day I was getting stuck, I had to throw up to feel better. I was going to call the dr. but then i was afraid he would unfill me and i did not want that. So I decided to just eat slowly and chew my food really good. This week I feel so much better. I don't feel so tight. I tried on a size 16 pants, but could not zipper or button it up. My size 20's are getting baggy. I am going away next month so I am going to wait to shop the week before I go. I have no spring clothes to wear. I can wear 14/16 tops and dresses. All my weight is in my hips. Good luck and remember to chew chew your food.

Hi all not been on here for a long time and its all changed .I had my band done with Dr Chris two years this June and it was the BEST thing I have ever done .Its not been a quick fix with the weight loss but it has been constant. and Iknow with all the stress ive been through marrage break up after 31years Iwould have puy on 4 or 5 stone were I am now 4stone12lbs lighter.There is a lot of food i can not eat but Dr Chris said this would be a possabilaty like no bread pasta or rice and no chicken beef or pork Ican eat a little bit of lamb some times and sasage. Can not eat sald or some veg like peas or carrots unless very well cooked. I eat a lot of fish cauiflour and brocalieand also some naughty things like crips and wine If i go out i will have a prawn curry or a carvary and i can eat mash and veg ican eat Ihave to eat slowley or i bring it back like other have said i an neaver hungry and can only have a coffee in the morning if im not working i will have porrage at about 11.30 but most days i dont eat untill my evening meal. I dont have my fills with Dr chris as i ment traveling from birmingham to london Iam with the WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY GROUP and Wendy there is fab she has given me so much support and the cost is very good the first year it was £379. for up to 12 fill but i liked the fact you can go and get weight and have a chat and ask any question you may have .Then the following year I had another 12 month plan were I can have up to 6 fills but still go every month for support and that was £275 There are WLS GROUPS all over the country and Iwould recomed Wendy to any one. So to close when Istarted Iwas in size 24 clothes and now i an in size 18 still pick up the bigger size first as i have been over weight all my life any questions please feel free to ask
