Well done you! Great piccies, too many memories! What's a skerrick? Is it something you northerers aspire to?

I've seen WLS Wendy a couple of times now and now am the proud possessor of 4.5mls saline, and it's made a noticable difference. She's lovely and so encouraging. Thanks forum folk for helping me find her!

Hi everyone, good to see you all, sorry not been on here for ages you all know wat it is like, I work full time and dont get home till 6 each evening. It is so good to see how well every one is doing. Sorry to hear your mess flirty, I feel just the same as you, I have only had 3 fills, still no restriction, food gets stuck all the time, but I never feel full, I just end up in lods of pain, I have not lost any more weight, I am now starting to put weight on, which is depressing, I am not having a fill till after Jan next year, that is because I dont want to spoil xmas. Everyone is sounding good, I am going to be good from now till exmas and hopefully I will lose about half a stone, fingers crossed. By the way guys, I became a Nana on weds to a lovely little boy Harrison, he is the cutest little man ever x

Congratulations on your new grandson Mandy, Harrison is a lovely name.

I know this band can be depressing. Last month I was elated with my weight loss and this month Im really p***ed off. I havent done anything differently but hardly any weight loss. Im going for 4th fill on Tuesday at Glasgow with Wendy. So hopefully that will get things moving again.

Flirty you have done so well without restriction and I think your doing the right thing going to see Wendy she has a vast knowledge of the band and Im sure she will set you right. Jx

Hi all congratulations Mandy on your new arrival .You will just need to stick in there until you get your restriction.I think it took me a while to get my head round that if you keep getting stuck and end up in pain it meant i was eating too fast or too much.If you dont chew properly this will happen also.If you dont get your head round these three things when you do get more restriction the pain will just get worse.Like gary said a few pages back the band is just a tool your eating patterns have to change like i have found out and most people who have had sticking episodes.The band can change how much we put in our stomach but not how much we put in our mouth and how quick .Still today sometimes i put a mouthfull of food in without realizing I'm still chewing food.I hope you get your half stone off for Xmas i will be trying for that my self.Good luck

Feel sorry for you flirty thats some amount of money to shell out for no restriction.But you have done great and you know yourself if you didnt have the band it would of been a hell of a lot harder.Ps if i had to shell out that kind of money i would be ranting too.lol

Great photos gary and you too bev that Soup still gives me the baulk thinking of it.

Keep your chin up timeisnow it will get easier. if you keep up your exercise it will pay off eventually.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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!

      3. Doughgurl

        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. 💜
