  1. Hey! Thank you! Im doing really well, i was back to work on day 7, and so far so good, im on mushies at the moment but started it early because i was so hungry. I think im in need of a fill because i can eat alot more than prob what i should be before im full. How are you? xxx
  2. whats ur date hun?and i will add you :thumbup:
  3. Hey hun! Im so sorry to hear that they have changed ur date again...but dnt you worry hun, you WILL be banded. Apolgies, before i read this thread i sent youa PM wishing you luck. I will keep my msg for a few more extra days. You are right about putting urself before work...sometimes work like to take advantage of good staff...! But as i said hun..i know it must be so frustrating for you! But in another 4 days you WILL be banded!! Stay strong hun xxxxx
  4. hey hun! im doing really well thanks, i was back to work after 7 days and cant wait to get back on to mushie food, cos im hungry!! lol and fluids dnt cut it at the mo lol. Ive been vlogging my journey since day one, so feel free to check out my youtube. Hope you are well xxxx
  5. hey hun!! i was exactly the same by day 5/6...i just wanted to eat...and drinking fluids just wasnt curbing my hunger!! Week 2 i was allowed thicker liquids...so what i have done is take full advantage of the thicker liquids! lol Ive been making my own home made Soup with lots of veg (high fibre) and carbs (potatoes) and blending the lot and having that! It really did fill me up...i would say it kept me full for about 2/3 hours so i had severa; small portions throught the day. Ive also been blending veg/greavey and chicken....lets just say ive been getting creative and using my "thicker" liquids title to the max!! lol Ive set my cal intake at 1200 cals and as long as i dnt go over that, i eat as much as i like... with the soup because i know what gone in it, i can have quite a lot of it. xxxxxx
  6. It really depends on ur doc hun. My band ialso holds 10cc and i wasnt filled at surgery, but other docs give you a fill during surgery.

  14. Hey hun! awww thanks for your sweet words:girl_hug:! Im doing great thanks! DAY 7 today...!! Da burping thing still getting on my nerves but it is getting better...am feeling hungry now...and drinking Water dnt seem to cut it anymore lol lol! (but thats prob cos im not really a fan of water lol lol) Im glad you feeling much better after all of the drama with the EKG. Please do try and eat hun....dont forget about ur health. I know its easier said than done...because when i get stressed or worried i do the same...and not eat. But its important for you to keep ur blood sugers stable. They were really mean to threten to cancel ur surgery...i hate it when people take advantage!! But im glad you are standing up for yourself!! Your get that sword out babe!!! Your sept samurai troops are all behind you!!! let us know how it goes on monday! I will be praying and thinking about you xxxxx
  15. hey hun! i have been literally forcing the water down...lol im trying... still have another 1.5 litres to go. think im gonna be on da toilet all day lol Hey! lol lol i wish u could of heard it! Ive never heard anything like it!! lol lol The gas has no problems coming out of the end:lol:....but its just so painfull and unfortable when it gets stuck in your chest. But it does feel so good when i burp....its like a big release. Your not the only one hun, i havent had a BM since surgery....i guess thats because we dont have anything solid going in...im normally quite frequent...so its really weird lol Im still on liquids next week so doubt i will be getting a BM untill i start the mushie stage (week three) But im sure its no healthy to go that long without a BM. Im going to ask my doc if i can take some liquid fibre. xxx
