I tried to update this thread but it wouldn't update! so I thought I'd just post it again here

food addiction kicked in big time & I was consumed with the thought of food & 'what I can have next'. Don't think that'll ever go away!

Well, my weight shot up while waiting for the fill. I ended up at 251 lbs :speechles .. (BMI 35) not good! Mr Galloway put in a wee 1/4 ml and that gave me the spur on I needed to make the correct food choices again.

I'm weighing myself once a week (on a Friday) & as of last Friday I was back down to 232lbs .. so that's 19 lbs in 4 weeks.. I'm just pleased that it's coming back off again! My BMI is now at 32.4. My clothes are all still a tad too tight but better than they were this time last month!

I'm still taking the Clomid tablets.. I have one more month of them to go & thats it! I have an appointment with the Fertility clinic on 27th November (again) probably to tell me what happens next! Here's hoping I won't have to go & I'll be preggers ! Tho somehow I think not...

My portion sizes are about starter size. If I take my time I'm ok. I'm finding it difficult to make the right food choices & not eat crap.. but it's easier now that I'm a little tighter.

I'm aiming to be 210lbs for next month.. would be nice to be 200 but anything under 220lbs will do!

Thanks for all your PM's and texts!!!

I think that is what is sooooo amazing with our bands if for some reason we gain or loose restriction the band is ALWAYS there for us to resume our weight loss. Good luck on getting pregnant and I bet with your weight loss starting up again it will happen. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck and keep up the great work.

Hi Audrey,

What a brilliant weightloss - you must be a shadow of your former self.

I don't know if you remember me, I contacted you months ago before I was banded. Do you still have meetings in Gartnavel? Would love to know where and when please?

I'd love to meet others going through this - my doc hardly told me anything and all I know I've found on here.

I won't have my first till end April - 5 months post op - were you the same?

Well done on the weightloss - I can only hope to be as successfull as you've been.

Yvonne

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
