  1. hope you get all sorted fullfat that tulia is a pure bitch and just messes peep's around all the time,ive heard loads of bad stories about her,pearce you have 10 days on liquid's first lol,but anyway for mushy stage you could try milky weetabix or porrige,thicker soups,grilled chicken or put it in the oven with garlic or chille powder over it for taste with some veg and mashed pot with a little gravy and you could try salmon or smoked haddock they are really nice i think pasta would have to be well cooked and prob in a sauce to soften it even more like carbonara or bolgnaise,good luck if you come up with any good ideas let us know.ps are you gonna get a protein shake i have one or two each day lol:blush:
  2. poor you mia,i've heard that's horrod to have if i was you i would get a small defill,how much have you lost up to now cause your tickers is showing 15lb lol,sher anita the girl we were talking to from dublin ate toast the other day how crazy is she lol,there is no way i would chance it lol:thumbup:
  3. good luck nat,when you get to hos they norm give you a time for op i asked for a pre med before surgery just to take nerves away but i was fine,they dont offer it so you have to ask good luck hun:wink2:
  4. hi kerry try salmon and bit of cottage cheese i love it cant wait to have it lol and also i take chewable vit c and kids multivitamins now so if i was you i would try it,im gonna go the chemis and get a high protein shake also to take once a day to boost me lol.FINALLY SHER lol least its on for now ha ha:tt2:
  5. that sounds like our k lol,im feeling great not hungry at all,sher i copied mine into my signature,the top of your page on this site is user cp go into it and look for your signature and copy and paste it that's what i done lol:thumbup:
  6. just thought i would mention sometimes your band might not get damaged due to fills,it could have a fault in it and once you have been somewhere else for fill's then you have to repay the wohle thing again,bobo has been with wls and had no probs and he is doing fine however gary on here developed a fault and dr chris replaced him band for him because he used them for his fills it's just a chance you take i suppose im sticking with dr chris as i think i will need around 4-5 fills so dont mind paying him as my band is insured lol good luck to you all:lol:
  7. thanks laila when are you getting banded:wink2:
  8. thanks freckles glad your fill is starting to work hopefully you will be on the move lol im booked for 16th for my first one lolGarry hope your doing ok with op and bobo you new pics are fab well done:thumbup:
  9. Be careful md and pearce if you go with wls for fills dr chris wont stand over your band,if you go for fill with them then they look after you if somthing happens hole in band or port problems,a girl on here had her band damage with other fill's peep's bupa to be honest i know wls is very good just if somthing happens your not covered just beat this in mind

  11. Emsey good luck you will be fine,no sher why did they nearly stop her lol,i dont know y they took blue stitch out karen didnt get her out i think the girl done it by mistake,im going fri hopefully get the other's cut and took out,did you take the 2 bloody little strips off that were over the drain i havnt't dont know if i should lol,what protein drink did you buy,im thinking of getting the one from argos for 42.00 it's meal replacement with high protein cause it will do also after fills etc have booked first fill for 16th sep yay:thumbup:
  12. Emsey i took nurofen melts cause you dont need water and they go down easy plus i think dr chris gives you enough till you get back home his are dissolvable ones.Sher that is great no i havnt had stitches out just the blue one they took out in the hospital im gonna go on fri to see nurse and get them out and a check,what have you been eating,ive been having an actimel for brek,fortimel shake for lunch and tomato soup for tea plus drinks in between water tea etc and hot chocolate for bed lol,good luck emsey and anyone else going im still on catch up with you all.:thumbup:
