hi carriejess good to see your back dating again,lifes to short to dwell on things.I know what you mean about talking while your eating. I was at a silver wedding on saturday night and it was a 3 course meal so i kept gabbing,everybody at the table was telling me to shut up and just eat.I ate half a plate of soup then half a chicken breast then had to go to the toilet to be sick then came back out and ate the sweet i felt i was being rushed and put under presure to keep up with everyone else.I kept up with them when it came to the vodca. i really suffered all day yesterday for being so bloody greedy.it was a great night so it was worth it. beeboo x

hi freckles the wee baby has some pad, it's beautiful. I hope you get on ok when you go to see the dr, a lot could be to do with stress worrying and looking after your mum then waiting for the wee baby to be born,it can't be easy. beeboo x hey sjs well good luck to you on 1st sep,you'll not look back after getting your band fitted,your only young so you'll have a great life in front of you(a skinny one)so the best of luck to you and take care. beeboo x

hey toppings it's very hard getting your head round eating off a wee plate but you do get used to it.the only thing that bothers me is when I go out for somthing to eat they always ask you if there's somthing wrong with the food because you'v left quite a bit of it, so now I usually just have soup and a sweet if I go out eating.I'm going on holiday with the wee man that I work with in 4 weeks time to ibiza but i'm not getting anything took out my band cause I'm still trying to lose weight for my own holiday in november.it took me so long to get to my sweet spot so i'm not going to mess it up now.I can eat enough to do me even if Iv to live on soup for a week.i'll get some took out when i go to new orleans as i'll want to eat and drink a bit more, it's a long flight so the band would tighten anyway.well you seem to be copeing very well with your band, it's a great feeling when that weight starts to come off and all the clothes you'v got is to big. look after yourself and be well. beeboo x

hi topping congratulations on getting banded hope your feeling ok when I'm on mushes I use a wee hand blender and blend down some chicken with some gravy,sweet or mashed potatoe,veg like cauliflower,turnip, cabbage,any veg really.I blend them all seperate and sit them side by side on the plate so it's not all mixed together like a dogs dinner.you could do the same with steamed link sausage,fish and any other kind of meats but always put a wee drop of gravy or natural yogurt with some spices in with your meat cause it's to dry without it.you could also blend down some prawns or crabsicks and seafood sauce or mayonnaise to spread on dutch crispbread as a lunch. beeboo x

hi sjs I have a friend who was banded about 13/14 years ago her hair was getting really thin so she went to the dr and he gave her multivitamins called forceval vitamins and minerals she swears by them after taking them for a couple of weeks she saw a big difference in her hair and skin. I'v just started taking them last week and can see a big difference in my skin.they are a bit big but I can still swallow them whole even though my band is tight. beeboo x

hey Bev that must have been awful for you being asked to leave the ride but things like that has happened to most of us so don't feel to bad about it.at least your going to do somthing about it, getting banded for me was the best thing i'd done coz i couldn't or wouldn't stick to any diet and belive me i was on every diet in the book like most of us here.I know how you feel when you said that you just laughed it off but inside you were being ripped apart.I would always joke about my fat just incase someone said anything about my weight so i would get in there first.it won't be long now till you'v got a band in and your whole life will change for the better.i hope you feel a bit better and stop beating yourself up,so good luck and be happy and the next time you go on that ride they'll be able to get 2 harness's round you.i'd better get a move on going to work. beeboo x
