OVER 10 EUROS FOR CIGGIES!! OMG - that is insane! I am glad I gave up 18 months ago!

Gillian - I have got the ground rice. My mum is gonna make me some! :thumbdown:

I have made some tonight too! it said on the pack you could do it in the microwave so i did and it was fine..i mixed 1 oz ground rice wth half pint semi skimmed milk and supposed to put half ounce sugar, but i used some of that granulated sweetener, and it was fine for me. mixed together you put it in on full power for 2 min..then stir..and then just keep giving it 1 min and then stir until its at boiling point...then let it stand and it thickens as it cools. it seems easier to do it on the stove top in a pan though cos you can be stirring it constant..I did half the amount cos i didnt wanna risk me eating it all!..but even then it did me and my little boy..he had it with banana cut up in it. its a good one though to have couple of days after a fill.

oh gosh I'm not very good at this but what I did was go to the very top of this page, click onto forum then I found band fills threads and the one titled whats your sweet spot with a 10ml band, if you cant find it prob flirty or freckles will be able to set up a link or whatever they do to help us. I only found it by accident, but I found it very interesting. good luck. mmm

Hi Mmm!..I found it!..bigsister told me what to do, and it was just like you say. anyway..i looked at that and it is interesting isnt it, everyones different. also i looked at the what does restriction feel like thread...it seems everyone is different on that subject too! x

Hi everyone, seems like peoples bands are starting to work for them now which is awesome!

Flirty congrats on the loss...wish i had lost 6 stone then id be done!

I also stopped losing weight about 4 weeks after i had my op, i think most people do that as your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to the fat. Its important that you do make sure you eat enough or your body will stay in starvation mode as it thinks it must keep all of the weight as it does not know when the next meal will be or you will just have no energy and keep fainting like naughty flirty. I learnt from other posts that a good trick is to stay between the 800 and 1200 hundred calorie range but vary it on different days so your body thinks its getting a varied diet this seems to work for me.

I started running today..i actually cant believe i can type that i have never run anywhere before now. It was slightly (only slightly) easier than i thought it would be but then i am lucky that i live in the country and the scenery is lovley and there are no cars or poeple to watch you.

Flirty i am not on Facebook, stupid really but i never wanted to be on it coz of the photos and tagging etc. Everyone i know is on and i use my housemates so i dont have to set up a profile. Its ridiculous because i look good in photos now but its a mini goal for me once i have lost another stone.

Hi shoes was she a girl with brown hair with a blonde who was recently banded i think i heard her say she had lost that much didnt know she had a tuck though fred told me my Tummy Tuck would cost about 5000 or more even in belgium cos it wouldnt be straight forward cos of the way my belly is so im in worst of form over that why cant i at least have a normal tuck but sure il see what happens yeah pity we missed each other

Hi Flirtylass, she was with a girl who was recently banded i would have loved to have more time to talk to her but i was called in she was gone when i came out, i don't know much about the tummy tuck she said there is two types of surgery maybe the one for 5000 is if you get the muscles done i think she just got skin removed,its a pity we didn't see each other my next app is 7th of May we can meet up then with a bit of luck you might not have to go for another fill,don't be in bad form you have done so well im sure there has to be cheaper way round maybe if you email doc Chris himself he might have a solution lolx:smile:

i have lost 4 stone but i am naughty and i have not done any excerise really but i know i need to really start now to help get the rest off. I am having a re program at the gym tomorrow which will have only 10 mins cardio and the rest weights and then i will run outside for the cardio as i hate doing the treadmill, bike etc in the gym its so boring and you can just stop when you want. At least you know that however far you go outside you have to get back!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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!
