thank you!!

thank you !!

hello everyone had my first fill yesterday ; ive got 5cc in a 14cc band ,i think thats right!! omg the restriction is back [good thing] the nurse told me i had 2cc in the band when it was fitted so i did have a little ! its been 6 weeks since my op and ive lost 14lb , a total of 70lb [56 pre op]. i can fit into jeans i havent worn for 3 years, hooray!! made an omlette today 4 eggs a pinch of cheese and ham and ate a quarter and that was it ! 10 mins later it had returned, so now i know my limits, also the hunger feelings have gone. had a few bad experiences with some foods, steak , crabstix and potato wedges, iam now going to avoid them totally .it feels like a golfball stuck in your throat!! looking forward to more weightloss and enjoying christmas more this year as well as hanging up my stocking i can actually put mine on without fainting!!!!!!!

hi everyone! well ive finally got my band ! iam surprised that iam not hungry , two spoons of soup and im full!!!!!!! normally those two spoons would have been ketchup on my chips [fries] !!!!!!!!!!! half a cup of tea takes me an hour ! it used to be a pint of beer every 15mins! i think i have found diet nirvana!! i know its early days yet but i think this is going to turn my life around . i lost 56 pound pre band and when my little girl, shes 6 asked me to play football the other day id realised what i had been missing no back pain , no heavy breathing because it was no longer a struggle to walk. normally i would have been reading the paper and watched her play , but now i can take part and be the dad she deserves. not embarassed to take her to the park becaused i weighed 400lb . right got that off my chest,iam going for some [thin !!!!] soup.:drool:

i have got a band date on the 28/9/10 as my op on the 17/5/10 was abandoned as i was too heavy for the op. needed to lose 31lb , so far ive lost 50lb 1 week left till liquid only diet to shrink the liver that caused all the trouble last time . this time that band is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least the surgeon will know where to cut as he can use the previous scars!!!!!!!!!!!!! the holidays are coming........

hi everybody, iam starting my pre op diet mon 10th may .1 week before op. so iam saying goodbye to all the foods that made me fat!! the diet is 2 pints of semi skim milk and two 100g yogurts a day . this is from the hospital band nurse . i can use the milk for slimfast shakes ,the chocolate one is not too bad!! was your diet similar to mine ? ive also been told of the wind pain after the op which iam not looking forward to. iam looking forward to losing weight though!!!!!!
