  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Oh my! *faints*:grouphug:
  4. 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!
  5. 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
  6. Wow! Absolutely fantastic...... will give you a hug when you come back down off that ceiling :party:
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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!
  10. Thank you all. I am going to Mexico and two days after I get home I'm getting my first fill.
  11. Aw thank you luvvie X I feel better now... I just needed to be reminded of that. Phew! What a relief.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. The breathing does get easier.... it's quite scary if you're not sure what's happening.
