    tipsyb got a reaction from Debbie3sons in Acid reflux, vomitting, coughing all night   
    I'm also diabetic and it does make things more tricky, I find a one ounce piece of soft cheese is enough for my Protein, and therefore my diabetes is managed. I find the same with a good quality yogurt with half a spoonful of honey also works. It's not hard on the band and is technically a slip food but not too damaging. This helps when I have had acid reflux. For me tho acid reflux has been when I have tried to fight the band rather than work with it.

    This has really helped thank you. I've had a hard time the last three weeks I have lost fifty six pounds and have forty to go. I'm struggling with restriction emotional eating and 'fighting the band' . This has re focused me.

    tipsyb got a reaction from Deehar1 in Is The Band Really Failing You, Or Are You Failing The Band?   
    I had simply no professional advice that was worth having . I have spoken to a dietician three times in thirteen months and have never been asked how I am managing in a way that would suggest any real thought has gone into the after are. However this us my body and my brain. I can read and I can ask and I can seek advice. I can try and find out by trying and either being successful or pbbbbing ! Either way these are all my choices and my success or fail.

    This is not about weight loss it's about a lifestyle change that is permanent. I have taken thirteen months to lose five stone and another three to go. I have learnt lessons on keeping it off for the future and to control my emotional eating. It's a daily challenge but you will get there . Good luck.

    tipsyb got a reaction from donna12 in weight-gaining medications   
    I have taken anti depressant medication in the past and was warned about weight gain, however whilst there is a possibility of weight gain if you are sensible in your eating and exercise I have many friends who are taking psychotropic medication and have not gained . So I would suggest that you call your doctor and give yourself a break from the worry. You are very brave and deserve to be happy as well as slim !

    I wanted to share this because it made me cry. I'm on holiday with my husband and I am climbing up a hill , when we get to the top there is a small area to squeeze through to get to the other side. I tell my husband I can't do it and turn around to climb back down. He asks me why and I say because ill get stuck because of my size. He takes my hand and leads me to the area and pushes me forward. I walk through with a space each side. I sat and cried for five minutes whilst my husband laughed at me. I cannot express my thanks to all the people who have walked with me through this journey and the ones who will continue to walk with me till I get o my goal. It's a great feeling.

    tipsyb got a reaction from Sally Pearl in Banded on 5th June with Hosptial Group @ Bromsgrove   
    I had my op in Bromsgrove and found the whole experience great. They were efficient attentive and organised. The surgery went fine and I left the next day with no problems. I also had the £5,000 package but that included two years band fills.
