Hey Garry how often to you weigh yourself and amend your ticker. Also do you have to go to ticker factory to do it and re paste or will it change it automatically if you amend it. B

Thank you :mad:

Got an email off Fredrick saying I can go next month...eeeek!! Just waiting for the loan to be finalised then hopefully will be going within the month!! He sent me a form thats opened with Acrobat but I can't fill it in....do you reckon it'd be ok to just give him the answers to the questions on an email, or would it have to be that specific form? Maybe I should email him back and ask him eh!!

I live in Germany at the min with my soldier hubby so thanks to you lot have finally found Dr Chris who is willing to do my fills back in Brussels too! None of the other companies (that bothered to contact me back) could do it, I'd have had to come home to the UK for everything else! xxx

Hi Tracy That form is a pain I had the same trouble. Just print it off then fill it in and mail it to him that's what I did and it was fine, I also printed off a copy for my records to take with me they also give you the same form when you get there. Good luck if you need anymore info just ask. One thing I would stress is don't go on your own take your hubby or a friend you will be sore and to travel and carry luggage is a nightmare on your own. Also you will find the support of having someone with you a massive benefit.

Hey Baarbs,

I can't speak for anyone else but I'm feeling better today. Still a bit achy and quite tired.

I'm trying to take smaller drinks today...maybe I was bagged up of liquid yesterday? Heaven knows.

I burped earlier and it hurt like hell ! Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Hello!

I was banded with Sharon and Barbara on 15th Jan in Belgium and wanted to echo everything B said about CDB, Fred and the hospital. I'm feeling quite good now - like sharon, quite itchy but happy enough still. I've lost around 7 lbs already although I know this is pretty superficial weightloss so I'm not imagining that it'll stick around!

Surviving on very watered down leek and potato Soup (homemade) and Slimfast shakes. Looking forward to moving onto something a bit more texturised in the middle of next week.

I've noticed I get th hiccups if I eat to fast so I'm keeping an eye on that and I'm *embarrassing* quite windy in the evening. I think what I am looking forward to the most now, is not so much the weight loss but the control I'll feel around food!

Anyway hey everyone and I am in Dublin, so will be getting filled there in 7 weeks (March 5th)

Jo:biggrin:

Hi all,

So excited now, I've just managed to figure a way to jiggle my finances around to make it possible to go for the date I wanted, 12 Feb!! I've emailed Frederik, just hope all the spaces on that date haven't been filled already.

Julie, sorry for the delay in replying, I only just got back online after spending much time with work, Uni assignments and borrowing from Peter to pay Paul!

Don't be silly, you didn't sound critical at all hun, I was worried about that too. Going on 12 Feb means I don't have to take my daughter with me which is good. The only down-side is that I will be going on my own. (I know Baarbs, but I'll pack light - no choice). :biggrin:

Glad to hear it's going so well already for those recently banded. I'm stocking up on slim-fasts for my return!

Give me a shout before you go and I'll tell you what to take I took too much. You don't need to go on slim fast it's hard enough without that. get Bovril, cup of Soups, fresh Soups (watch the fat content) Probiotic flavoured yoghut low sugar ready made jelly Low fat hot chocolate or ovaltene (only 1 a day) that will give you more variety for the firt two weeks. I have now lost 6lb since I have been back. less than a week you won't do more than that on slim fast, :)

Hi Jo

Wow u go girl I,m so pleased for you only wish i could go then as well lol, but even if i wanted to i cant, my annual leave doesn't start again till april which is a real pain in the bum, but made sure i booked my week for april quick before everyone else started booking theirs, thats the problem with nursing they only allow two nurses and 1 sister to be off at the same time, which can be awkward when theres 16 of us lol but never mind im counting down the days and saving the pennies and it will hopefully come round really quickly, well hun u got my number so if u need a chat whilst ur there just ring me but let me know when u get ur date confirmed ooooh im so excited for u lol.

Well done baarbs im envious already ur doing great

Hi all, just to let you know I'm still here, calling in regularly and reading all the news. I'm doing fine and after only 4 months and 30lb lost, the first person noticed today that I'd lost weight! Hooray, it's working! Wendy at WLS says I've lost 40% of my excess body fat, not bad really when you put it that way.

I'm beginning to find some confidence too and for those who may remember my appalling work situation, I've found the courage to come out of the corner and am leaving to go back to mursing, my first love. All I have to do now is tell the current lot I'm off without causing major family ructions.....

I have a target date too, my elder daughter announced her engagement at Christmas, so I shall be "the mother of the bride" summer 2011 and I intend to wow them!

Well done to all the rest of you who are turning your lives around, keep up the good work.

SP

      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. 💜
