realy pleased it all went well & you are ok. Take it real easy though, you may have very low energy levels for a while as you are not taking much in. I was glad I had 2 weeks off work.....It does help to shift the gas pain by walking though.

Take care

Hi Ann,

Hi, max weight is 330 lbs x

Hi all,

had my wii fit for 2 weeks now and have to say is brilliant......You can do step aerobics, jogging, muscle training, yoga and loads more without leaving the house which is my problem when I get home from a long day at work.

It checks your weight and bmi each day and works out your fit age which was 15 years too high but its coming down nicely.

Only one problem, its quite addictive which I suppose can only be good..

Julie

Well hi Lisa,

Thats brilliant news, well done you. How did you manage to keep the weight off and still enjoy such a great holiday.

I'm still plateau'ing but seem to be losing inches and not pounds again.

Having great fun with the wii fit and working out every night so somthings got to shift soon.

Keep it up and keep in touch.

Julie

Have a great hols Lisa. Bet you will look great in your cossie. Got another fill on 10th & need some motivation as only losing 1 1b a week at moment but making bad food choices:frown:

Bet you get into a 12 before xmas x

Hi Helen, what a great weight loss. When were you banded? It is great to have more places to shop apart from Evans & Its also strange not to look for baggy things! I find myself looking for fitted stuff for the first time ever:w00t:

Keep up the good work. Its great having people to share this stuff with x

Julie

WOW Lisa what a brilliant weight loss :smile:

You have whizzed past me on your ticker now, well done you x

Have to see Mr Toh on 10th but had a slowwwww month but into a size 14 trousers & have my size 12 ready.Started off at size 20 so dead pleased.

Hope you enjoyed Cuba.x:cool2:

Hi Lisa,

good to hear from you. You are doing great & we seem to be following almost the same ticker although you are over 2 weeks banding later. Well done :smile: you must be chuffed. Sorry to hear about your last fill problem. The first fill I had with Mr Toh was realy painful but fine since but not seen a nurse!

Noticed You have had a couple of big fills, I have trouble getting him to do them as he would rather not fill if I am losing even a small amount but I do have a resonable restriction but not quite there yet. How do you know you are at your sweet spot?

Keep up the good work & keep in touch.

Julie :biggrin:

Hi Kitty,

When did you get banded? I have a 14ml band too & am up to 8mls now with fairly good restriction but just eat the wrong things at times. Do you have any restriction?

Good luck Helen with your fill. Keep up the good work.

Its great when you drop down into a lower stone bracket I've just gone from 13st into 12st, a big milestone for me.

Julie:regular_smile:

Hi again Beki,

No not in the wrong place everyone is realy supportive no matter where you post but if you want local support you can go to the local support section just further down the page and you will see the U.K group.

Julie:biggrin:

Hi Beki and welcome,

there is a seperate forum for U.K members but you will get a good response from wherever you post. This is such a great site

what an amazing weight loss so far :wink2: well done Beki

How have you managed to lose so much so quickly ?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Julie

BRILLIANT :biggrin2: Well done Helen. Keep up the good work.

Julie

Hi Helen,

Just 3 lb off 4 stone in less than 7 months is brilliant. Well done :rose:

I too struggled over xmas with all the chocs around but at least we are not putting weight on and must be excused for the odd hiccup or two. I didnt lose weight for 6 weeks and was getting realy dispondent but as it took me 25 years to put this weight on I guess its not going to dissapear overnight.

I went back to the beginning and dug out all my old food records from November to see what I was eating then and gave myself a good talking too.This last fill has definately made a difference.

Perhaps you need to review your food choices to get back on track.

Good luck to you.

Julie

Hi Lisa,

I find the same thing with bread. Its o.k in the afternoon but cant get it down in the morning when I seem to be tighter.

Good luck for the 20th.You seem to be doing well.

Saw Mr Toh yesterday for 3rd fill , he is so nice and realy helpful. Not lost weight for 6 weeks but loosing inches instead. Then got up today and lost 4 lb overnight! Good restriction now.

Keep up the good work.

Julie

Hi everyone. Will try for the valentine challenge with you all.

Just got back from 3rd fill but plateaud for last 6 weeks so need motivation & challenge.Big thanks to you all, this site is the only thing keeping me going X

Just joined the gym too so fingers crossed.Good luck everyone.

hello everyone.

Banded on 18th October 07 and lost 25 lb to date. just started on toning tables and seems to help the weight loss. 2nd fill on 13th at Bupa Havant, West Sussex.

any one local? well done all:bounce:

have lost 25 lbs and now working out twice a week which seems to shift the weight quicker. well done everyone for such great weight loss:bounce:

:faint:cripes..............just got another bill from Mr Toh for £1,000 so sorry Lisa for misleading you:embarassed:

apparently the inclusive price did not include his fee!

Hope it went o.k for you today.

I was banded 4 weeks after my appointment with Mr Simon Toh at the Spirent hospital in Portsmouth (bupa). I had however been looking into it for almost a year before taking the plunge....

As I was self funding I arranged a date with the surgeon during the consultation. Good luck x

Hi Nina,

good to hear from you.

I see the tickers moving along nicely.....well done you...

I got banded in Portsmouth by Mr Toh & Bupa.Nice & handy for fills...

Am managing Readybrek for Breakfast which takes me through till about 3pm when I have a cup of Soup but not managing much more than possibly a jelly later...How you getting on with mushies?

Great to have contact with a U.K bandster.

Dont have a fill date yet but was told it would be about 4 weeks so the same sort of time as you I would guess.

Keep up the good work....

Julie x

took me 3 hours to work out how to do this ticker...........:whoo:

Hi Nina,

thanks for support and kind words.

But crikey! its not going to take you long at that rate....go girl.......

I am just 2 days behind you I see but my BMI is 41.5 so a bit further to go.

I noticed you are in U.K. Me too in West Sussex. Keep in touch and we can compere notes.

Julie x

Hi, had mine done by Mr Toe for £5,950 in Havant. Realy nice guy. Just 7 days today & lost 9 lbs.:clap2:

Just wanted to say thanks to all who repied. Its such a nerve racking time I am so scared about doing something wrong.

The pain did go off & stuck to fluids today.

Pleased with results so far as only did 3 days pre op & lost 9lbs so far in just 9 days.:eek:
