    After Baby Blues

    Lol I have a 6 week old and already put my weight back on and then some it ok though another year as breastfeeding then I go back to how things were I have no advice just want tell u I am sitting in the boat right behind u
  2. I spoke to my dr coz i had the same i thought i had something wrong with my shoulder lol. what it is is deffered pain from your stomach. so it makes sense that when your full your stomach is in pain however the pain is deffered into your shoulder. My pain can be debilitating. I even went to hospital once before i knew what it was from. i get it from fizzy drinks too so it is extra help with keeping to proportion sizes

    Yeah i had problems with my cover as I was covered for the op but not private hospital but as i was at low risk the dr agreed to do it in a public hospital as a private patient which wasnt too bad :cursing: It is a pain with private health as they say they are bound by laws etc so they cant fix it etc but if they made a mistake you should stand your ground! GO FOR IT :scared2:

    To be honest i at first there is not much restriction but as they fill it it gets tighter, my dad was banded by your doctor too, he lost over 50kg i think and is doing great so your in good hands, it is hard coz you really cant eat what others are eating but if you are talking about the family you live with everyone should be eating good food anyway so they should just have a bit respect/compasion... i dont know the right word for it but they need to eat the right foods too you just will have to eat less of it then them :cursing: My Doctor told me to go through the fridge and cupboards and though out any bad foods...great advice, and then just dont buy anymore, this way your home is a safe food place it is easy to eat all day on Snacks especially if you were like me and you can eat without being hungry, so getting rid of the snacks is a great thing. Rule of thumb is a mouthful is a teaspoon full. My doctor told me to eat with a teaspoon too lol. twenty plus chews per mouthful one mouthful a minute, this way you should finish your meal in twenty mins. after twenty mins just stop eating take the food away, put it in the bin anything, if your like me if the food sits in frount of me i will just keep eating till its gone even if i am full........guess thats how i got here lol also some great advice when eating out ask for half serve even if you have to pay for a full one, at least there wont be too much food. or you can share whats on your plate out with other people you are eating with. or cut the portion you should have off and put on your bread plate, then ask the waiter to take the rest away. OH and on that note.... DONT TRY ANYTHING FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER BANDING WHEN YOUR OUT! Food will get stuck and you will be sick! you get used to it but it is painful and scary and it is involentary so not the funnest thing to be doing in a public place. no one told me that and i had a really bad experiance :cursing: lol sorry if this is too much info but safe is better than sorry lol Speak soon and i would be happy to catch up sometime

I have only had one problem and that was at xmas, I made meat patties as i thought coz it was mince it would be ok and had made so they were full of vegi too but it got stuck, like completely so even water was hard and i could not eat for 3 days. but then it just passed so that was good, anyways talk to you soon

    Hello, I am in the North too :scared2: I live near the munno para shopping centre. I think we all would understand that feeling :cursing: I remember how uncomfortable the gas was :cursing: but i am four month in now and love it. well i am not sure if love is the right word, lol but it works i am almost fully restricted so i cant eat breads and thinks like steak and i can only have small portions. I am really used to eating slow and chewing alot which is great coz now i enjoy meals with my partner where before i just enjoyed alot of food..... if that makes sense at all. I think it would be great if this thread took off again coz it was great before I will update regularly so if you wanna share your thoughts or ask questions please do so
  11. oh i hope my bridesmaid dont feel that way lol i am having green lol But you look amazing! I am the opposite I have some great old bridesmaids dresses that I will hopefully fit back in to ( put on 30Kg in 2 years) See the weight go down is one thing but then clothing is another Hooray for not having to shop in the plus size stores anymore!

  13. Hello I was Banded just a week before you, I understand your concerns, was able to eat most things I could should not have been able to too, untill i had my second fill! then white bread made me sick, read meat, Pasta. now if i eat the wrong foods or too quick it hurts and it hurts bad! then your mouth fills up with thick saliva and you vomit until the bad food gets out. This also happened with fries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So dont worry my last fill was only half a ml and it made alot of differance. lol and sorry for my honesty but wanna give out that warning. :w00t: Dont worry it will get better! If you keen we can talk and share experiances, I am having a rough time now as I dont seem to be loosing, I am gonna push for a fill thursday coming :wink2: Ps. BE STRONG! dont eat them just coz you can because that isnt the point! Quote from my surgeon 'You need to stop eating like a fat person to stop being one!' Harsh but true:thumbup:
