  1. Oh my lordy what a very heart wrenching thread :wink: I am so so sorry for you hun. This has happened to me too so I do know the pain. Personally I have to move on because the marriage/relationship is now tainted for me... but that's just me. Counselling wouldn't work for me because once the deed is done then we are done.


  2. if you cant do this how are you going to make through Clear Liquids after banding

    This seemed very harsh to me :party: If we were perfect we wouldn't be in this situation now would we... he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that.... but seriously... WE beat ourselves up enough and get verbally abused by thinnies we don't need to come on here and get it from fatties too!


  3. Hi people, thank goodness for finding this - you're all my heroes!

    I was due to be banded at Derby last year bt then my daughter fell seriously ill, sadly she past away in June; so here I am back on the list. I had a phone call offering me a date for banding on the 3rd October, and I cant wait. I know nothing else works and this is my last chance, my joints hurt, I get breathless just walking across the road and I'm only 42 so bring on the band - I know it'll be hard, but its my only chance. Thankgoodness I've found you all!

    :thumbup: Aw bless your heart X


  4. What's an NSV? I know the feeling of feeling good! and surprised... I pulled out some clothes I had sadly put away in a suitcase because they didn't fit anymore and were hardly worn :smile:... got out the suitcases ready for my vacation and came across these clothes and tried them on! and they fit better than when I put them away! Whoooooooot! how happy am I? All new gear for my vacation and didn't have to buy any!

    Ah just found it.Non scale Victory!


  5. I got banded in July 08... I haven't had a fill yet because I am going abroad on vacation and my surgeons office said they won't do it before I go away... which I am happy with. I feel great and feel like I haven't even had the band in now. I am on solids and can eat anything without difficulty, bread, Pasta, steak, pork chops. The only thing I will say is this... I don't eat the steak or *heavy* meats because they seem to sit heavily but not too heavily in my stomach... I choose not to eat them because I don't want that heavy feeling for hours. My question is this.... is this normal to be able to eat absolutely anything without any kind of pain or shoulder gas or anything? Has something gone badly wrong or am I just very lucky? I am being careful to not put on the weight I lost pre op and just after the op as I was healing, otherwise it could so easily all go on again.


  6. Well instead of having three meals a day I have to have four smallish meals now or I growl lol.... but once I have had my small nutritous meal I am satisfied until the next meal time... it is great! I have never had this before... I used to go looking for more food after a short time after eating, now I don't feel hungry enough to do that! I haven't had a fill yet and am happy to wait.


  7. I'm healing nicely and just setting myself small goals for now. I walk on my treadmill every day, so my daily goal is to get on that... then I also have to remember I'm banded and concentrate when I eat my mushies to eat slowly. It's the old habits of wolfing it down that I am trying to overturn now. I walk 20 mins on the treadmill and would like to get up to 30 mins soon. Great thread by the way X:thumbs_up:


  8. One thing I forgot to mention....

    My big worry about dating with the lap band was the gas! I mean, really....how embarrassing would it be to toot the starspangled banner during a date? Luckily, this did not happen during this date, but it's always a possibility. I have never had so much gas in my life! In fact, my first husband once asked, "How is it that you never fart?" Well...he should see me now! He would be SO proud!

    Stuffs hankie in mouth to stifle the giggles...:thumbup:
