Good Morning! another 7lb gone this week (loving it!!) Total of 19lb gone since june 16th Amanda

Hi Dina, Thinking about fills in the future ( I know its a good long way off yet ) Great that we get free fills back at bbc but how much are you ending up paying for flights, taxis and parking at the airport.....would this work out as much as we could get a fill over here?? Amanda

Hiya!! I'm Amanda and live in Haverhill Suffolk I was Banded in Prague on 16th June All good so far..... Had scrambled egg for Breakfast...what a treat! Hoping to lose at leat another stone before I go on holiday to Turkey at the end of july!! Amanda xx

Good Luck tomorrow :sad_smile:

Going to go back to the safe chicken soup tomorrow!!

Steer clear of Heinz Cream of Tomato!!! I had some at lunchtime today and my god I've suffered!! Had the runs ever since....not nice!! lol

It's day 7 for me and only been on liquids so far. Really struggling to even get 500 calories in me. I'm meant to be on a full tin of soup by now but half is more than enough for me. I literally can't fit any more in me. I feel full ALL of the time. I had a milky decaf coffee yesterday to up the calories so 500 yesterday and 400 previous days. I even wake up full!! Amanda xx

I've lost 12lb.....and I'm very happy!!!

Morning all! Well this time last week I'd just got weighed for the last time on my home scales before setting to be banded and one week later I'm happy to report 12lb gone! The pain has almost gone, just a twinge if I get up too quick. Having trouble getting enough calories in cos I feel constantly full Yesterday I had About 250 ml yogurt 300ml Soup 150 ml yogurt 200ml apple juice 1 litre Water 2 cups of tea every time I eat is an effort. I eat cos I have to not cos I want to. I know I've now got to get more calories in or I'll be poorly Was thinking maybe a milky decaf coffee or 2 a day Work tomorrow :ohmy: Amanda xx

Hi Cathy, Great that you've now got 2 weeks off...make the most of it! I've got about 5 weeks at work then 2 weeks holiday in Turkey....can't wait!! Amanda xx

Hiya Jenni! Hope you don't feel rotten for too long!....I'm still feeling windy and VV full after half a tin of chicken soup!! Love what your mum said....and sooo true! Amanda

Just sent you mine Snuffy...thanks Amanda

Oooh where's the spreadsheet Cathy??

Hiya! I was banded on the 16th too....and lost 9lb so far. (only going to change ticker once a week) But I didn't have to do the pre op liquid diet like you may have done.... I ate everything I wanted the 2 weeks before...and more! The worst pain area is where the port is....tender and a bit itchy! Grumbling wind ....I'm making the most horrendous noises..(inside...not when getting out lol) Tickly cough....and that hurts my poor old tum! Really looking forward to 2 weeks being over...hopefully be pain free by then Amanda

Morning Grey (have you got a name lol) I bet your shoulder pain is from driving. We have to remember we've had surgury and should be taking it easy! Got a friend coming round in an hour....I've text her my chemist list! Deflatine for wind and tickly cough medicine....looking forward to getting that the most! I'm back at work on monday too...not looking forward to that one! And no one there knows what I've been up to either...just told them I was going to my mums for a few days. I'll have to concentrate sadly...no one will have done my work while I've been away....normally when I have time off it take me a month for a week off and a couple of months when I've had a fortnight off! oooh can't wait lol Just had my 'breakfast' 150 mls natural yogurt....not eaten so much for a week and I feel soooo full (maybe this alien I have in my stomach is working lol) Amanda xx

Morning!! The gas has gone thank goodness...but I had a tickly cough over night...hardly got any sleep at all....knackered now!

hiya....I'm home!! :biggrin: and hurting Sitting still on the plane and in car too long.....huge wind build up....my guts are gurgling lol:cursing: More tomorrow Nite nite xx

Hiya Jenn.... Last day today...hooray I'm going home!! The driver will be picking me up in 4 hours...might have a little sleep before then. I got my cigarette yesterday!! The physio came to see me and told me I was well enough to go for a walk by the river....I was out there in about 30 seconds ....but had to come back cos I realised I still had my slippers on!! Was out there this morning too....sat in the sunshine reading a book and watching the boats go by...LOVELY! I'm just drinking my 1st cup of english tea. How good does this taste! I've been on fruit tea all week....real tea is now such a luxury :rolleyes2: Amanda x

Hiya Mimieg, My shoulder pain has gone now....hadn't realised until I just read this lol Lucky you having your nails done...would love mine done!! Amanda

Hello....this me she's talking about....Hello Tracie! Just had (2 hours ago) some clear Soup...could only eat half...then I had to sleep for about an hour...It wore me out!! Amanda xx

I keep walking round the ward..but it's not very big so no where to go really. I go home tomorrow...but don't fly til 5 in the afternoon. And with the time difference it'll mean I get home to my bed about 7pm! Bet you're home already aren't you?

I begged and pleaded but they won't let me out for one!! I can't stay off them....I'll no longer have food...I'll need my cigarettes!!

Hiya Fellow 16ther Jenn!! How you feeling today. I've had a shower...washed my hair and even had half a tub of yogurt.....but still feeling ok. I think I might tell the nurses I want to go for a walk outside (ah ha....cigarette thinking again lol)

Hi Alex...yes I've read about it prob being Gas....seems worse when I've been laying down a while. Been up and about for about an hour so feeling ok now. As I'm in Prague we have a bit of a language barrier thing going on here I say cigarette..they say no......But I'm determined to get at least one in my lungs today!!! Amanda

oooh is that all??? I seem to have been here forever!! Achey pain in my shoulders so I'm not sleeping more than an hour at a time. The worst bit........I haven't had a cigarette since monday morning 8am...and they won't let me out to have one!! Argh! All I've had so far is Water and fruit tea.... Home tomorrow ...it'll be good to be back in my own bed! Amanda xx
