You can buy dual controlled blankets in the UK.... but how about getting a single sized one and just having it on your side of the bed then Hubby won't be affected.

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.

Oh my! *faints*:grouphug:

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!

161 lbs lost is not a failure luvvie XXXXXXXXXXX Hugs XXXXXXXXXX try not to compare yourself with your husbands weight loss, his WILL come off quicker than yours X

Wow! Absolutely fantastic...... will give you a hug when you come back down off that ceiling :party:

:thumbup: Aw bless your heart X

I found once I hit the mushies stage the bad breath went... thank goodness. When on the liquid stage nothing would make it go ie; mouthwash, cleaning the tongue and constant brushing. It's horrendous but it thankfully doesn't last.

I was told by Derby that they wouldn't give me a band until I had the sleep apnoea sorted out... luckily I was half way through doing that anyway. Please please go to your Doctor for a referral for a gastric band... NO ONE will be laughing at you XXXXXXXXX

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!

Thank you all. I am going to Mexico and two days after I get home I'm getting my first fill.

Aw thank you luvvie X I feel better now... I just needed to be reminded of that. Phew! What a relief.

I honestly wouldn't like to diagnose anything on here because I am not a doctor.... please ring your doc and put your mind at rest hun X

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.

The breathing does get easier.... it's quite scary if you're not sure what's happening.

Well I was a real whiny baby and milked it for all it was worth! I'm never going to be able to be pampered and be waited on like this again for years to come so I made the most of it.... yep I know... I'm going to go to hell (where all my friends are! lol)

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.

Oh that's wonderful news... I can't get a fill yet because I am going on holiday in 4 weeks time and my surgeon won't do it until I get back. Which is fine by me.

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:

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

I am so sorry I can't yet reply to this :biggrin: and breathe........

I think you have been misinformed.... have a read around here and get a better picture hun X

I had a wax before surgery because I realised that I wouldn't be able to bend to get to my legs.... so glad I did now.

What an absolute idiot. Spouting about something he knows nothing about grrrrrrrrrrr! Off to looky but tie me down first someone.

I'm only able to sleep on my right side, not on my stomach and deffo not where my port is on the left.
