Good luck Gillian!! I am thinking about doing the WLS package as I am probably going to have to go into London anyway and like you said you can have unlimited fills in 6 months! Are they nice? Would you recommend? It is Wendy who also goes to London.

yes we got our fills yesterday in leeds..i had 1.25 put in taking me to 5.25..she said she could feel the pressure now and that i would def feel this time (she says its like when your pumping a bike tyre up from flat..you pump away feeling no pressure, then when its getting near you can feel the pressure as the needle is pushing the saline in) were going to sheffield in 2 weeks for maybe another dependidng on how we go with this one..but last night and this morning i could really feel some proper restriction, even with the smoothie i had for breakfast..maybe it was a bit thick altho i did liquidise it. i think im definatly going to be more cautious when i go to even mushy foods this time. she has these all singing dancing scales..and they do a print out personal to me, and even though they said i hadnt lost any weight, my fat mass was down by 2.5lb..so think that maybe means that the muscle mass has gone up?!..i dunno but want her gadgety scales!. and yes sammy i asked her if it was her who did the fills in london and yes it is..she does all of the clinics herself,shes a very busy lady! the clinics in london are every saturday and every sunday, and you can go to any of the clinics anywhere 2 weeks apart. the london one is on harley street. the package is worth it but i think the single fill is £80.check on their website. I am feeling hopefull that this fill will help me to start moving now, touch wood! she usually follows a rule of 3,2,1mls for fills she says for the first 3 appointments, then its fine tuning after that. x

Hi gillian glad everything went ok for you yesterday and fingers crossed this will give you some restriction this time, i cant wait to go next week for my 3rd fill and hope he puts a decent amount in, i do have a bit of restriction on certain foods, my weight has not changed since my last fill but my clothes are looser (weird) but that may be because im doing more exercise, how did bigsister get on x

hi kerry, bigsister was the same as me, and has the same amount in too. im much more getting used to that needle now! I made a berry smoothie this morning and had difficulty getting it down..hope it loosens off a bit though over next few days..mind you,on the other hand suppose this is what i need for a while, it might help weight come off this week at least, but wouldnt like it to feel like this for ever..im sure it will, as its just the trauma of being tightened for the first few days isnt it, then your stomach gets used to it and re-moulds itself around it (well thats what i read anyway!) hope your doing well and you have some restriction...how did your crumble go down?..your making my mouth Water, but today im thinking OMG, ill never eat anything solid again!..first time im feeling nervous about coming off (and actually sticking to) the liquids..there will be no turkey dinosaur accidents this time!. hope your doing well anyway, you have prob changed your fat into muscle too, thats why your clothes are fitting looser..its the same with me too..couldnt believe id not lost owt cos i felt lighter and fitter!!..lets hope our new fills will get us moving again..i am feeling much more positive after this one i must say.when is your next one? i bet youll be up to about 6ml then?.the most they can put in ours is 7 to 9ml..so youll be not far off or maybe even be at your sweet spot then? x

when you get to about 5.5 tho, even 0.25 can make all the difference apparantly, so hes prob just following the guidelines, just get as much as he can safely put in, it might make all the difference..think ill only get about that put in in 2 weeks..im hoping that will be me done...for a while anyway, till i get used to it suppose!

lets hope we get there next month, and start shifting again! im sure we will x

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
