wannabe slinky

good to see you back and nice to hear the weight isnt going back on,but i agree gradual is best im gonna get 75ml out in the next couple of months to see if i can eat a bit more normal foods as i only eat at night and mainly soup,i dont mind too much but hubby moaning and wants me to eat more lol hope you guys are all ok

hi gillian nice to see you back on did you get to your goal weight,was it you who got banded with your sis big sister if so how is she doing,candece i feel sorry for you hun but just bear with it my last fill and didnt feel too much different but then it tightened itself i was being sick nearly everyday and now only eat soup i hope it does tighten a bit for you,if not hun you might need a bit more as i have i think 6.75 in mine,i know what you mean about the money it is so hard at the min pity our fill docs wouldnt give us a big discount and do our fills for £50 lol xx

how are the people getting on who recently got banded xx

lol thats ok odge i just eat what stay down wether it be a sandwich or choc and crisp lol,i use to worry but now i just want to make sure i eat somthing lol

hi odge i have 6.75 in my band and only mainly eat soup and the odd choc bar and ive stayed the same for ages,every so often it jumps a wee bit i think its are bodies adjusting but my body shape has changed so maybe you should check to see if your loosing inches instead of weight hun and when the weather eventually gets a bit nicer im gonna walk more to see if it will help speed up the process lol

so pleased for you mini me,just watch you dont pile on the weight from now till then because its more too lose when you start lol, i know because i gained about 2 stone doing the whole i might not be able to eat this again lol,but it is so exciting having a date and looking forward to it any question just ask all the girls and guys are fab on here anyway and have been through pretty much everything lol good luck

oh right that is fair hun afterall you had to travel over to belgium,at least your all sorted its horrible being overfilled i swore it would never happen to me again little by little is best,because if your stressed your band automatically tightens anyway lol xx glad your ok weight to go hun xx

so glad you had a good experience you will have fun loosing your weight now,wtg let us know how your getting on hun did you get a defill x

try a lolly ice if not get a defill,thats what i had to do i couldnt even swallow my own spit had to spit it out in a doggy bag its awful and i had all the back and chest pains some might say see how it goes im telling you if you were like me get a defill hun it willonly get worse phone julie for emergency number xx

thats great minime that is what i done read all the threads and made my mind up,its good to find out all you can hun,good luck for 17th xx

i use to have a shake for Breakfast like the cambridge diet ones,or weetabix with plenty of milk,and like you the weight didnt move fast for me i only ever seened to loose weight when i went for a fill every couple of months,but i think when i wasnt loosing weight my shape was changing instead but dont worry hun you will get there in the end,im happy enough with my weight and shape now but i still want to loose maybe another 10lb but not too bothered about it.try not to watch the scales easier said than done he he

not sure about normal hun,when i got my last fill at first i could eat a fair bit but my band tightened by itself after a few weeks i can only manage soups and wotsits,yoghurts,its not too bad because im not hungry so wait and see what you can see and try more protein foods like scrambled eggs and see how you go xx

hi odge i use to have weetabix for brek and homemade veg soup with spuds in it for lunch and things like scrambled egg and beans or smoked haddock or salmon for tea,but at the mo going through the cant eat much stage lol

i eat and drink alcohol,well i eat when i can i just find i dont loose any wait for a while then drop 7lb lol i just go with the flo,i think walking helped me the last time but it's too damn cold he he

so nice to see you back freckles,sorry to hear about your mum you went through alot looking after her,but at least you done everything you could and you were also there when she needed you most i had hold of my mother when she died when i was 19 so i know its hard hun,it does get a bit easier although a mother is the most important person in all our lives and as for the big c think positive hun and hopefully all will be fine and as claire says at least you have your band there to help with getting that weight back off talk soon and chin up hun xxx

hi wtg no you dont need to take anything with you for a fill,they will give you a weight card to keep and you just take that with you each time you go xx

that is correct claire he wont stand by the band if another provider has been near it lol fills etc xx,hope your ok princess and over the worst of it hun,just think things can only get better xx,ps has anyone from ireland north of south had xray done over here,as i find it hard to find someone to do my xray over here and the doctors not too good either x

rapdad glad your over the worst hun,and now you can begin your journey lol,its hard not to be scales watcher,it becomes a habit not too good for me anyway i find my scales dont move for ages then they jump every couple of months but everyone is different and you will lose weight hun it's so exciting xx

sorry rapdad i work night and get confused as there is no dates on post you have either had your surgery last week or today either way let us know how you are and if you ok x

not long now btturkey bet your excited now hope your packed and read to go any last min questions just ask hun good luck

what day is it you go princess,if you gone already you will be fine hun good luck xx

im in cookstown claire the centre of ni so good and no i havnt heard of any support groups local,but they all seem to be very private here and dont want anyone to know there buisness,where on the other hand i dont care who knows lol,i dont mind having soups as i was a picky eater before the band dont eat red meat fussy with white so was quite a strange eater lol lived on junk before he he,i manage the odd salmon sandwich the odd time but can only eat in on nimble bread,maybe when im a my target i might get fed up but im still looking on losing another 20 lb xx

lol when someone over here in ireland is worried or concerned we say dont let it annoy you that all lol,im fine claire weight loss is slow can only eat soups and the odd sandwich but doing fine hun xx
