Oh poor you Flirty, you have been so brave, not one word of moaning, except about missing out on partying :juggle: How exciting buying new clothes!!!!

I hope your infections clear up pdq. Your GP sounds like he doesnt care, not good practice at all. Like was said can you see the practice nurse instead?

Good luck to all you peeps getting banded in August btw.

Sammy thats great news that you have lost weight and you're eating more, just shows that our bodies hang onto the fat cause it thinks there's a famine.

Starsky, dont feel bad about the bowel stuff, I would have been sharing my stories whether or no, I'm just a generous kind of guy :lol:

I havent used the enima kit yet, gonna have one more 'try' at normal function.

My cousins a nurse and says colonic irrigations, are just the same as enimas really...I have also read that they are far superior to taking laxatives, so will have to print off the instructions, to assist.

Will report later, maybe much later :lol:

Lol cant wait for the update freckles x

Yeah, maybe you could offer a text service for updates - take your mobile to loo for an 'as it happens' progress report to interested parties who have signed up?! Or have you thought about Twitter?!

Glad you enjoyed your holiday Wishfull, we were both in Scotland at same time last week. It was my first time and I loved it. Also called off at Bamburgh Castle which had stunning stretch of coast beside it.

Thank Big Sis, I will be sure to mention you both to Wendy...but that seems ages away yet ! Thanks for all your great tips.

Can you tell me....I am having my Op on a Friday, when would you say I was ready to go back to work ? I was hoping to go back on the Monday or Tuesday, is that too soon ? Will I be well enough ? I mainly sit at a desk and do a bit of walking about.

Hi Starsky. I took over 2 weeks off work and certainly couldn't have gone back after a few days. Having said that, everyone is so different with their recovery and maybe some would be ok but I would definitely give yourself at least the following week if you possibly can. Bigsis x

Big sis, you are just so funny, be careful you dont make flirty bust her stitches, she'll be charging you for damages under the hillarious clause.

By the way flirty, I'm hoping your healing better now and that some of the swelling is starting to go down, hang on in there it will all be worth it, are you feeling a little down because you're not on hear as much as you used to be, if so dont bottle it up perhaps we can help.

Facebook ok Freckles but maybe turn off webcam? Just a thought, there's some things we don't need to see, the mental images are quite sufficient! Get the ice packs out! Bigsis xx

Hi Homecare, how did you get on with your salmon? I've got such a cheek moaning about being able to eat pizza and stuff when you are going through such a terrible time, I really feel for you.

Good luck Gary, Fingers crossed for you X

Hi I bought that simply salmon thats advertised on tv and managed to eat 4/5ths of it and it was lovely some kind of lemon sauce over it yum. Feel as if its getting easier now.

Im going on the 11th at 3.30 for a fill at Glasgow green. Cant wait.

GARY let us know how you get on. Thinking of you with fingers crossed.

Carrie It was me who asked about your date Im sooo pleased, what city in Scotland are you visiting?

Freckles hope your bums recovered.:juggle: Jx

Maybe it wouldn't help so if not, stick it in a bucket of GnT (after good rinse of course) - can guarantee that'll definitely help! Bigsis xx

hi all

my goodnes you have made me chuckle today with all this poo and bowel chat its so funny, I take a proteindrink twice a day and my god that works just dandy.

Well i met Dr today and yip i got a leak in my system somewhere, he gave me 3 seperate fills and defills and no change and when he went back in he could only remove less than he put in so its leaking. He did say it is through no fault of my own and that fred/chris will contact me. I have to go to belgium and get an xray and check fwhere it is leaking and then it will be booked for following day to repair. I have send fred/chri an email detailing tht i do not blame anyone its one of those things and that i need an immediate solution and that as it not my fault i do not intend to be financially out of pocket> i Have just had a call from chris deprez 5 mins ago saying he will see fred on monday and call me then. I explained to him again all the good we tlk about his team on this forum and the personal meetings i have had with future clients and assured him that this will not change as its just on of those things as my port is difficult to locate, so we will wait and see what monday brings. Dr did say that sometimes if its the tubing he can do it under a local anesthetic (ooouuuccchhh) or indeed if its a general then its only the port scar they repoen. so looks like am belgium bound get your orders in for the belgian choccys.

Oh poor you Garry what an arse (sorry still thinking about Freckles!). At least they're taking it seriously and seem to be acting quickly. Lucky you another trip to the Campanille or however you spell it! I just hope they can do the repair under a local and get it done quickly! It sounds like they've pierced the tubing whilst trying to access you port doesn't it? That can NO WAY be ur fault! Stand ur ground as u shouldn't be out of pocket!

Freckles/Bigsis - I've given Harrison a load of cherries and grapes for tea, I'm waiting for the fall out! :)

      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. 💜

      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. 💗

        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.
