at the min i can eat a horse, eating that kit-kat, crisp, chip

How are you managing to eat this? I tried some sausage the other evening, chewed like crazy and paid for it losing my boots completely! Wasn't pleasant. Had to wait an hour or so and then had a yoghurt to help calm my insides.

Doesn't the above stuff get stuck?

MummiesBB: Very good advice Thank you :lol:

Another Question, when you did the bank Transfer (which i will do as well) Did you go with your Bank (did they charge) Mine is £19.50 to do Bank Transfer, and I'am wondering about WesternUnion or some sort?

Yes I did and the charge was £24.00 for the full amount they were very thorough and wanted to know who, what, why, where. I didn't enlighten them what it was for just said medical.

HTH I used the bank as I felt it was a little more secure. Don't know anything about Western Union. What do they charge for this service?

hi tiger,i just looked at your profile so i think your going with dr chris debruyne,if your going by yourself you wont need much at all,because after surgery you wont be fit to eat so will just need money for drinks, and food the day befor surgery i would just have 200 euro with me to be on the safe side,but you wont need it if you take all your stuff with you,travel light hun:wink2:

thanks everyone for the kind words of support - getting excited now. Pity that we ar enot going the same time as your daughter freckles...would have been great to meet up!

Also to the new bandsters who is providing us with so much information on here - hope you are all well on the road to recovery - it'll be worth it all.

Tiger - are you going with Dr Chris in belgium. If so we are banded on the same date; myself and a friend are booked in for the band 02/11. Let me know and we can look out for each other if this is the case.

hi tiger i booked with bridget as well she is really helpful even after the surgery you can call her up and ask her questions. if you call her she might be able to tell you who else is going when you are. its the same money with her anyway she just a sec for chris. I would not take much money with you. most things you can pay on a card. I don't know maybe 100 euros? the good thing about euros is if you don't use then i just keep them for the next time i am on holiday.

Hello All :lol:

As you probably noticed I'am new to this, I have finally joined after reading this forum for a week or so now lol

My Band is dated for the 2nd of November and I'am so so nervous even though i have thought this through for many months now :smile2:

And i like routine and schedule, and just a question, How much money would i need to take with me (apart from the Surgery money)

And what would i need to take with me ?

Thank you :) x

apart from the money you need to take thing like nightie, relaxing clothes, i took some of those slim fast shakes , just things that you would take on a weekend away. The hotel is all right clean and tidy, nothing grand really but it was nice to meet other people while i was there who where in the same boat and i still email them

Hi Jane

I don't mind being on my own. It's just going home after the surgery that I'm a bit nervous about. Yeah I am from Dublin. I'm sure there'll be someone else from Dublin going too. It's a bit early to ask. I just wanted to book early. Did you go on your own?

yes i went on my own there was someone there from ireland when i went,i think she flew into dublin and then went on somewhere else in ireland. i bet you will find in the next few months that people sign up for then. It was alright as i meet people there i was in a room of three people, one girl from ireland then me and another lady from uk. we all got on very well. That was in the hospital. the night before we meet up in the hotel at the consultation.They were on there own too so it was good for chats.I would not worry its really near the airport and you can fly straight into dubin so it will be on problem.

      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. 💜

      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!
