    I've got the "mushy" stage blues....

    I lived on and still do homemade shepherd pie and soups so I watch what goes into it... Also don't worry to much re gaining a pound or two at this stage it's because u haven't eaten for a while and that's normal.. It will come off
  5. Hi had surgery June 15th and had 1st fill 1.5cc mid July. I have lost about 19lbs since start I do fine it very slow as I didn't lose for 3 of these weeks but didn't gain I suppose I shouldn't complain because it is suppose to be slow also if it wasn't for the band I would still have that 19lbs on my ass.... I still get a lot of head hunger and find I can have a little of the nice things without feeling to much guilt. I have upped my excercise and try to do 5k walk 3 times a week I feel much fitter and more healthy as I can't eat bread ( best news ever) it won't stay down no matter how much I try. Also I started to lose weight again when my husband hid my scales and I only get them now on a sat morn I was becoming obsessed and when I didn't lose I comfort ate which is my problem.

    Op june 15th

    Hi all have been doing well but in the last few days I have found the hunger pains returned reading on hear that is to be expected. Only keep healthy foods in house so should be ok. Also my husband has hid my scales as I was getting a little obvessive lol he brings them out on a sat morning haha I have scoured the house daily for them but he is right. I have 16 pounds off so pleased so far. Another 70 to go.

    I paid for it privately as a public patient you could be on a 5 year waiting list or if you are insured ( I am not) you can have it done under some policies I think you have to meet some criteria. It cost 7500 privately and this includes one year of follow up fills and check ups. I have a 10cc band with my first ck in 1month. I live near Galway it is a beautiful part of the country.

    Hi Is it the insurance company that make you wait 6month and jump through a load of hoops that is madness if you are ready and know what you want and need why are they making you wait. I am in Ireland decided 6 weeks ago I was ready for this had my op yesterday. Mind you I don't have insurance and paid for it myself but I hope it will be worth every penny. I have about 5-6 stone to lose here we go at the beginning.
