Iv been for my 2nd fill today.. got another 2ml put in, thats 5ml in total.. just got to stick to liquids for a few days but fingers crossed my weight will start moving again. I met miss flump(again) and vanessa there, both lovely and doing well x

Hi Wishfull, sorry I missed you and Vanessa today in Manchester, I had my fourth fill, taking me to 7ml.....Really hope it gives me the restriction I need to get my weight moving again as it's been at a standstill for too long!:w00t: Kath.x.

Hi Flirtylass, He gave me half a ml today.....I haven't lost anywhere near as much as you, just 2 stone, and like I said I've been stuck at that for absolutely ages!! Mind you I've only been going for a fill every two months. I have a little bit of restriction, as I can't eat certain foods like bread or potatoes, so I'm hoping this fill will do it for me this time....fingers crossed!!!:thumbup:

When do you go for your next fill? To say that you haven't had much restriction, you've done really well to lose as much as you have! Maybe your next one will do it....here's hoping!Kath.x.:w00t:

Wishful next time you see Vanessa tell her to get her butt back on this board, life is too short to be at loggerheads.

tell her everyone will be glad to hear from her, I'm sure everyone feels the same.

Forgive and forget I say.:w00t:

Hi to KaKa's daughter, you have done so great, you should be really proud of yourself.:thumbup:

Like you I called to book the edinburgh fill for the 19th immediately after my op on 13th feb. THe julie one said oh i think that is full, now you can imagine my responce to that, so i made a bit of a fuss and she said just to come at 12. My advice is if she is off is to mail frederik and dr chris i have both email addresses and virtually demand that you get seen, is it you first fill i am not sure. I went down the line of "whats the use in getting band and offering support then reccomending first fill at 6 weeks then you cant do it, completely unaceptable" On the glasgow thing, at my consultation Frederik mentioned about someone there can do it but i never got any more info, i would ask that in mail also. Dont just accept it as i think they rely on that which is no use to man nor beast. Sorry cant be of more help.

Regards

Hi Mandy, your not boring old bugger!..it just seems that there are more post bandsters on at the mo than pre bandsters..we all know how your feeling, weve all been there..my husband thought i had "lost it" too as it took over my life before i had band, it was all i thought and talked about..once you have made the decision,you want it there and then!..and its like waiting for xmas!..i think we are all a bit obsessed on here...and impatient too, i certainly am!..the bands not that magic wand id hoped, and it is still hard work, and slower than id hoped..i know i have a good few fills before it starts working properly for me...but it is frustrating!..roll on my second fill on tuesday!.was hoping to be a supermodel for summer!! (ha!) maybe next summer!..but as long as the scales go in the right direction..and never back up..ill be having to wait!! slowly and steadily for me! x

When do you get your op??

im just concentrating on the fact that i didnt put all this weight on in a week so it wont come off in that short a time either,really determined to make it work however long it takes! xxx

Hi Kakasdaughter,

I'm off on Monday, op on Tuesday! The past six weeks have been like an eternity waiting! Woke up in the middle of the night and realised I haven't changed my money yet, I was waiting for a better rate, but it's got worse, £200 worse!

Hi and welcome Kaka's daughter! Me and gillian are the 'naughty sisters' Mmm refers to! Well done on the 9lb lost already, that's a really good start. I wish I could have been banded at your age, don't think they had invented anaesthetic tho when I was 20!

Freckles - hope you're not in as much discomfort now? Been thinking about you.

Fatpants - lets go out on the pull together when you've been done - not long now is it?

Take care all, bigsister x

Bigsister you're on!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
