Hi freckles, hope you ok honey!!

Hya chick, hope you're good too. I could have sworn I replied to this a few days ago:unsure:

I seem to have acid in my chest all the time, so I have resorted to a teaspoon full of vinegar, but the next morning it starts again :w00t:

Cant wait to get my de-fill, 3 weeks today:thumbup:

Meant to say Jane , whom I met in Belgium told me she has whey Protein every day and it fills her up no end, and you know you're getting complete protein without all the calories.

The first day, I struggled taking it with semi-skimmed milk, even though you only have 200/250 mls, to a scoop. It didnt want to go down, then I had stomach pains all afternoon, then needed the loo later on. (Sorry to be explicit):blushing:

The next day (yesterday) I mixed it with cold Water and was much better.

So I'm going to keep on with this and see if my weight drops, Jane told me her mum takes it (not banded) and her skin is filling out nicely, hoping this will happen to me, cos I have so much loose skin, everywhere, cos of my age probably.

Will let you know how I go.

Welcome to the newbies and excellent forward planning, booking your op Sara. Llama when are you booked for your op hunny?

Laila My first fill was 6 weeks after surgery as my doc was away on holiday, then I had another 4 fills before I started to lose properly, that was July 2009 when I was over-filled, and brought me up to 6.5 mls in my band which holds between 9 and 12mls.

I had a de-fill in October of 3mls, due to the fact that I was going away for 3 weeks and doing 10 flights. We travelled a bit lol.

I then went for another fill in December 2009 which took me back up to 5.75 because freddie boy said he didnt want me to be over-filled again.

This wasnt tight enough and by may I had gained over 8lbs so he put in another 0.25, bringing me up to 6mls.

Then i had another 0.25 put in, at the same visit cos I got the Water down ok, and I had asked to be back up to 6.5 and freddie told me to try the water after the fill and if I got it down then he would put the other 0.25 in.

Are you bored yet????

I had another 0.5 put in a month later, then had to have it taken out again because of the acid reflux.

In July of this year I had 0.25 back in, bringing me back to 6.5mls and now next month I am getting 3 taken out again, cos I feel quite run down and cant eat much and taking in fluids is harder still.

If WLS had had a clinic in manchester when I started my fills I could have saved a mint, but alas they didnt.

Acutally freddi was very good and gave me 3 free fills cos we couldnt get it right, which was really good of him, bless.

I hope you can make head or tail of it hunny.

Thanx for asking about my daughter Slinx, she says she's only lost a pound, cos she is eating more than she used to eat before, she was on a constant diet.

She's not disheartened though cos she knows when she starts her fills she will lose weight.

We are both going to manchester on 9th December.

Doing this on my mobile so short message. Anyone know where next fill clinic is / what's best to do for emergency de-fill? Don't know what's gone wrong but I can't even get Water down and constant reflux. So tired and sore, need it sorted ASAP. Any advice? x

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
