wannabe slinky

hi girls wanted to ask did any of your hair thin mine seems to of thinned a bit was wondering what anyone took to help thanks girls and boys lol

you will be fine hun i think everyone goes through the whole i wont to be able to eat this and that lol,after op has settled down you can still eat almost anything until your band it tightened enough,for after op i lived on muller light yoghurts,cup a soup,tin soup and slim fast lol,bet your so excited

sorry your having problems hun,i hardly ever feel hungry,my weigh loss is slow but im close to my goal so not really bothered,do you drink alot hun,i only eat in the evening because my band is too tight in the day lol

hi sam of course you will do it hun,but it take at least from 5ml plus in your band before it starts to work hun if you went with chris debruyne you will normally get 3ml first then 2.5ml the second time and from your third fill you should start to notice the difference its so exciting isnt it lol

hi hi charlene if you phone julie the girl who books the fills she will get you an emergency fill nurse they have them here when chris's team arnt hun,they got me one the same day for when i was overfilled dont wait hun phone and get it done because mine only got worse

hi think its frederik.serneels@ecfs.be

they are slow mini me,just email them and ask did they get your deposit,but i would book my flights any way,i paid all of mine in full,this is the exciting part lol

stop worrying hun,i just eat what i felt like,mainly a yoghurt for brek,soup for lunch and whatever i felt like for tea,your first 3 fills dont really count they are just filling the circumference of your band,if i was you i wouldnt worry too much about what you can eat just eat what you feel like because when you do get near restriction you cant eat hardly at all hun so enjoy it while you can lol

travel light you dont need much i wore loose jogging bottoms a baggy tshirt and a pair of crocs because your stomach is tender and bloated after op and i wanted loose fitting easy to put on clothes lol,the clothes i went in i came out in and i didnt take a nighty as you wear theirs for op and then get dressed in your own clothes the next day so just take a towel and toilitries soz for the spellings ive just come off nights he he,and in the hotel room i took slim fast shakes to drink and cup a soup although i didnt feel like eating at all,and some windeeze and painkillers although they do give you some in your pack you receive off them and take a cup as they only have wee plastic ones good luck

sarah i would go with whoever you want to,i know everyone on here is for chris as am i but if someone wants some advice and to talk to people it dosnt matter to me who they go with as long as they get the same result,good on you for going with it anyway,you have to stand up for yourself and go with what you know best,maybe if i would have had more risks and money lol i would have stayed in uk but hey freckles who is on this forum didnt get done with dr chris she got done in uk and she is a valuble member on here,i think were all great people so lets just encourage eachother and extend the arm of frendship xx ask whatever you like sarah hun you havnt offended me xx

glad to hear you got some encouragement from this forum hope all goes well and you get a date you will then start getting all excited like we all did keep us informed xx

hi hun i had no energy before i got the band lol,afterwoods i had cambridge diet shakes as i knew they had all my vits etc i took them for a couple of weeks and kept some for when i wasnt eating much aswell.after a couple of weeks of getting my band i use to have a shake for brekfast and a muller light yoghurt for lunch and half a tin of tomato soup for evenings tea.but you dont feel hungry when your at your sweet spot well i dont anyway i have to remind myself to eat lol,but a few weeks after your band you can still eat a fair bit as your appetite comes back as your band is empty,so you still feel hungry but as you get fills this is reduced as your stomach is,your first fill you get up till 3ml fill and your second around 2.5 then your band is filled it does take a few fills for you to start feeling it work so you have to be patient because your first couple of fills just fill the circumference of the band and after this is when it starts to reduce your stomach,but i got a kind of buzz of excitement with each fill just watching my weight going down but as for excercise im not very good but i would of though riding a bike is fine as claire said it is stitched in place i try and walk the dogs so i class that as my exercise.As for eating now hun i dont eat all day and only eat at night,but that's just me i dont feel hungry and my band feels too tight to eat early on so i just have differnet soups,and the odd chicken curry and i have a packet of crisp quavers etc,as for my hair no probs yet and im always dying it lol,when i feel lethargic i take spa tone to drink with pure orange to give me some iron as im always lacking in it even before my band,i dont eat red meat anyway so i eat alot of fish salmon and haddock and even have the odd sandwich but i dont feel deprived or like im missing out on any foods i just dont feel like them,dont worry about asking questions hun that's what we all done and everyone on here is great with the advice and have strengths in all different areas so ask away,ps as for you worrying about how your family would feel about it,when i got my band my neice lynda who comes on here the odd time wanted a band she had been overweight all her life and didnt know what is was like ever being thin "normal" as she would say and she wanted one her mum was so against it.i told her mum to let it be her desicion and let her be in control as her mum had been thin and knew what it feels like,she agreed and now she gone from a size 20 to a size 8 and looks like a babe and i have to say the difference it her confidence has soared,she i like a different person so outgoing and loves her fashion so sometimes you just have to do what you feel is right for yourself hunny and people will come around to it at some point now her mum is so pleased,hope that helps xx

hi saz i got to a real bad point were i felt almost suicidal and my family realised how my weight was affecting me hubby wanted me to diet and walk more, but it just didnt work for me,every time i lost a bit of weight i would just gain it back again it just wouldnt go,so i told my hubby wether he wanted me too get it or not i was going for it i had mentally agreed to it and my mind was set i started saving in secret and when he saw i was that determened he booked it for me and took me over lol.I know all surgery can be dangerous but its keyhole surgery and he hasnt had and fatalities,dr chris is one of the buisiest surgeons in europe and so very experienced that is why i trusted him and so pleased i did,make the decision on what is best for you hun,its your life and well being and just stick to it,you will find once you have it done your family will come around anyway,have a look on professional beauty web page they work with dr chris as well hun and are based in the uk,and you can get your fills in manchester it works out about 4200 euros for your hotel,taxis and surgery good luck hun

hi hun reading your quote,you sound like you have answered your own question of needing a band,and you are at your lowest point that is how i was i put on a lot of weight it came between me and my partner as you said i didnt want him to see me big or touch me and i felt like i just couldnt go on the way i was and deal with my day to day life,for me i felt like i had to get the band and if any problems aroused they couldnt be worse than the way i felt,but now my confidence is soaring and i feel great and i think it's the best decision ive made im so happy with my life now.has your gp said it would be safe for you getting the band with your health problems,the good thing is it would eliminate alot of them and you would be on top of the world hun,i dont eat red meats but i have a sweet tooth that was my downfall and night time eating lol any more questions just ask xx
