Hey,

Just a quick question!! Is fizzy a big no no as i see you can drink a couple of pints! Its just if i do go for a drink I like to have vodka and diet coke as wine tends to give me bad acid reflux!!!!

until you reach your sweetspot its kind of ok but i have been conditioning myself from start and not having it so its easier, i am also a vod and d coke drinker and if i am in a house then its easy by just pouring a pint of diet coke and using it to top up vodka as it generally goes flat, when out its a bit tougher, i opt for the gun coke where normally i would have bottles as its normally flatter.

Hi odgemodge since i had my band fitted i havn't been able to drink fizzy drinks at all, i like southern comfort and lemonade but have to let it go flat before i can drink it and i dont like wine so thats out, we are all different and you may be ok with fizzy drinks, its all trial and error x

WOW that is expensive, ask dr chris how much his tt will be and what the waiting time would be, Dont be hasty tho cos you may get it for free and might not have to wait to long, i didnt have to wait long to get breast reduction on NHS x

Yeah i just know in ireland its alot harder than the uk to get procedures done and i bet they'l expect me to be at at steady weight for 6months or more and alot of other requirements before they would even consider it but il see if i hear anything back from them i know dr chris does tt but i wana get Lipo too and im terrified at thought of the op i think id feel safer getting it done here incase of infection or anything i could just go to the hospital its a top general hospital i wouldnt even go to a cosmetic clinic as id be too afraid but il see what way it go's i still have a stone and a half to go

Hey bobo thanks for tip im just after managing to get a coffee down thank god i really dont know what happened but im gona stay on liquids for a day or 2cos i can actually feel my insides swollen and my throat is killing me from heaving so much so im not even chancing food... I was at my doc today asking about plastic surgeons she said she'l write to plastics in dublin see if i could get it free but im not holding my breath cos of the times and little funding but sure its worth a shot but one way or another it'l be done lol i was thrilled i was 6st 7lb lighter on her scales and 8st 7lb lighter than when i was at my heaviest so cant complain and hopefully a few days on liquids will leave me a few more lb down and then with fill next week i plan on staying on liquids the monday nite till the sat try give the fill a good chance to settle and a week on liquids usually shrinks the stomach too so fingers crossed il hit the 7st mark but i vow not to eat shit cos any time i have done recently it aint been nice and my latest experience last nite has put me right off... and odgemodge i drink vodka and red bull no probs sure once the red bull hits the vodka and ice it loses its fizz but i also have a few beers too and have had no probs

You are an amazing weight loss machine flirty you should be so proud of yourself!!!

I have read that if your band has slipped its really really painful (like you cant move painfull) and if you have been able to drink today then its probably because you are so swollen after all the throwing up. However if you cant get any liquids down over the next 24 hours then you need to see your doctor because you must stay hydrated. Just keep trying with Water and coffee or clear broth and see how you get on. If you get really worried then go to the hospital and have an xray done they will be able to see if your band has slipped or there is something stuck somewhere.

Keep us posted....

      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. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💜
