  1. Well done Jo Jo. Pleased everything went well. Xx
  2. I felt restriction after 5.5 mls in February. My third fill. I haven't lost a lot of weight since then buy struggle to eat so I think I have enough restriction. I go to florida on Thursday and im still worried about what I will be able to eat and how far away the toilets are!
  3. Anyone in Newcastle Uk fancy meeting up. Got 5.5 mls in and have restriction. Not losing very much. Maybe a pound a month.
  4. Hi everyone. Just to say I've lost 45 lbs so far and love my band. Have 5.5ml in and don't think I need any more. Good luck to every one. Amazed1
  5. I have 5.5 ml in and definitely feel restriction but have only lost couple of pound since that third fill I think I'm eating the same things and need to change my diet from crackers and philadelphia lite and yogurts to something more substantial cos my body conserving the fat. And need to exercise more. What do you eat at your best restriction?
  6. Hope you make it upbeith hubby. Just tried eating Sunday dinner but wouldn't go down. Managed a few crackers and Philadelphia.
  7. Freckles how is your daughter doing? how much fill do you have? Mine is 5.5 and think it's enough. Lovely to hear from you again.
  8. Hiya this is amazed checking in. How is everyone? I had surgery October 27. Lost 43 lbs in total. Have restriction but haven't lost for couple of weeks. Need to exercise more. X
  9. My weight loss slow. Need to exercise more I think. It's my weigh day tomorrow and don't think I've lost anything this week. I should be grateful that I haven't out on. Keeping everything crossed that a pound comes off by the morning. 2nd week of mushy starts tomorrow. And .... This forum is quiet, where is everyone??
  10. Oh dear!!! Why? I was told to eat chicken the size of an eraser on end of a pencil. Did you eat too big a mouthful or not chew enough. Haven't tried chicken yet.
  11. Hi Freckles, I've booked in for my first fill, has your daughter? Unfortunately he's not doing any December fills in Edinburgh so I'm going to have to go 25th November. four weeks after surgery. Do you think its too soon???
  12. you lost 19lb in 2 weeks - blumin heck thats fabulous. i'm 2 weeks post op on wednesday and i lost 11lb pre surgery and 7 lbs in the 2 weeks - would loved it to have been more but at least i'm not putting on yet. first fill on 25th november. sorry to hear about the reflux - i think if you search in the forums for reflux you will get some tips. good job on the weight loss. jude
  13. Hi. I managed an hour gentle cycling in the gym. Didn't lose weight and ate more too. Looking forward to mushy on Wednesday.
  14. Hi. Dr Chris de bruyne said that one in three obese people have an hiatus hernia he will repair it but if you know you have one he would like an X-ray. Why don't you email his general manager Frederick serneels at Belgium surgery services.
