Sounds the same as me that! X

How fantastic have you done?!.. X

Hi Sam! You've got a great weight loss journey to go on this year!.. 10 stone, that's a lot, but you can do it!.. You'll be gradually filled over about 3 months..then good luck, I hope you do brilliant x

Hi Charlene, glad you're sorted for your defill. Hope you have a great Easter... And as I know..to my disadvantage..Even at its tightest, any amount of chocolate can pass thro no prob!. So don't go mad! X

Yes fish is one of the best foods for boosting weight loss I've heard! And I can't get enough of king prawns, mussels in garlic fish etc. cottage cheese is nice with prawns or even chopped crabstick, with cucumber and spoon of sweet chilli sauce stored in.. Low fat/high protein and delicious for a snack. I also have tinned mackerel as lunch sometimes. Smoked fish poached in milk with poached egg on top.. Mmm I'm hungry now! X

That sounds gorgeous, may try it myself!.. And how good is that for you! X

Good for you!..hope it carries on for you..I hope I'll start up again too in june after this rest, Just shows, the band does work doesn't it.. I can't lose without it x

That's brilliant odge!.. You've done so well along with your sister.. Well done!.. Not been on here for years now but it's nice to check in and see how you others banded near when we were are doing. I'm going to give myself a kick up the bum with a small full in June after a rest.. Then hopefully I'll be moving again. X

WLS (the UKs number 1 aftercare providerby the way)don't do anything 'wrong' only right, as their many now slimline happy customers can vouch for. I won't tell anyone to go to any fill provider, (I do know of some stories of certain 'providers' going wrong too, but I'm not scare mongering on here or slagging any of them off).it's up to the individual who they go to. Just make sure you have a good 15 mins of advice with them before your fill, and can reach them for emergencies immediately on 24 hrs helpline. That they are well insured, experienced and professional. Good luck to everybody whoever you use. We're all after the same results, and can feel free to share our experiences on this forum

Fantastic! Didn't realise odgemodge was your sister!.. Me and my sister 'bigsis' were banded together too it was 3 years last January now. We've done ok. My first aim was to lose enough weight to become active to not have aches pains and break out into a sweat at the thought of walking even!.. I did that after about 3.5 stone in around 7 months. Then I got a bit naughty and 'cheated the band' with slider foods!. CosI had it too tight... So it doesn't pay to have it too tight that proves to me!. I'm resting it now loosened off for few months. Then maybe a little fill in June. Hope to get back on track like you have done! X

T.You've done great!! Me and my sister been bit naughty eating 'slider' foods and put bit on. Must get back on track!.. May go see Wendy in June after my hols when I've rested my band a bit longer (after it'd been on tight side) but yes Wendy her hubby Steve and now Rosey are all lovely.. Giving you so much time and advice. How long have you been banded now T? Not much less than me I don't think?. X
