Hi fatduck I know exactly how you feel. I am having mine done on the 26th June and I am eating things I would never normally eat. I Dont understand it. Yesterday I ate a full bag of chocolate covered raisins, I dont even like bl!!!dy raisins. It must be a physcological thing. Anyone else do the same before banding?:smile:

Yup - I can't count how many last suppers I had! :smile:

I put on about half a stone in the month between booking the band and my pre-op diet!!

Hi cantweight 10lb is better that nothing, its a good start.. it is hard when there is lovely food around you so it is a matter of changing how we feel about food, i think that is harder than what it sounds lol, keep up the good work you are doing well and the weight is going in the right direction, off. x

Hi flirty i think it might be a good idea to speak to your dr about what you are planning and see what advice you get, i think if you get all the surgery done in one go it is an awfull lot for your body to take.. you have got to be safe in what your about to do and not to rush into anything x

tullia law did my head in..all she is bothered about is getting money it seems..she.never stopped ringing and bugging me and got angry when i didnt answer..and all i did was fill an online enquiry form that wont send unless you put your phone number on.i thought id get an email with the prices returned, but she must have phoned more 20 times at all times even later at night for few weeks..id book thro dr chris ,frederik or bridget at europesurgery.com, tullia is scary! x

I completely agree, had the same experience as you, tullia is a bit of a bunny boiler of sorts! lol x

Hi odge thats great news about the nurse. Did you ask your doctor to refer you or did he do this off his own back. Didnt he ask you why you didnt take follow up care, oh and is the nurse going to do your fills. J x:blushing:

Hi to you all,

Well here I am, been through the op and now back home and feeling pretty perky I must say. I must admit I felt a bit ropey yesterday with all the travelling home. I started out at 9.30 am (8.30 UK time) and got home at 6pm, so it was a long day, but what a wonderful nights sleep I had in my own bed. I feel sore, which is to be expected, but I've not had to take any painkillers nor any of the anti-sickness tablets that they give you. I've even managed the injections without any problem, ( so easy to do and painless!)

There were 6 of us being banded on Tuesday and we managed to get ourselves organised and shared taxi's into hospital and again on discharge. When in the hotel we swopped room numbers in case we needed to talk to anyone.

After all my last minute doubts I am soooooo pleased that I've had it done and look forward to being a shadow of my former self. There are ways to cheat, eating chocolate and ice cream etc. but the way I look at it why would anyone pay out all that money and then cheat?

Yippee......... The rest of my life starts here.....

Westie x

I agree with what you have said about the ice cream and choc, its a lot of money to spend to cheat and its down to us to be strong, its hard sometimes tho lol x

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
