Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris



Recommended Posts

Yes, Gillian, been reading this forum for months and signed up a few weeks ago when i finally decided to just go for it! I am talking to Dr Chris, and booking it all, just have to find the cash now...that's another issue! :sad:

I'll get there though, sounds like things are going great for you and Im hoping to get the same results a lot of people are happy with on here.

So sorry aint been here guys, been...and still am so sick ill.gif

I caught this damn bug off my pest of a grandson (he's 8 and full of little boy germs!!)

I have had the wildies since saturday evening, my God my bum is in tatters was like passing sulphuric acid sad.gif Sorry to be so graphic, but I wanted to share. crying.gif

Dont feel very hungry (hurrah!!!) and am aching all over. sad5.gif

Good news is I've lost over 4 lbs, but still feel poorly.

be back as soon as I feel able, poor Mum had no visitors today, my daughter went on Sunday and Monday but didnt go today.

I didnt feel up to getting out of bed and i dont want mum to catch it.

God sometimes life sucks. angry3.gif Hubby says I must be run down, as nobody else caught it.

What are we like eh when 3 tblspn of porridge seems adventurous and a little bit naughty?! Glad it satisfied you tho Cant Weight, maybe you can start throwing caution to the wind now and dare to try other risky foods like Weetabix, mushy veg and other dangerous delights. Bigsis x

well congratulations on your decision!..i dont think i would have took the plunge of going abroad if i had not found this site with all the happy banders on it!. money!? it was hard for me to get too, and i had saved a bit, some on a card, some is an overdraft and some a bank loan..ill be paying back for 4 years..but i think what i have saved on my shopping bills/take aways are covering that! (true!). dont worry about going to belgium, Chris, the staff and the hospital are all A1..immaculatly clean, there are no cons with money or anything..i was worried about everything! dunno why now, everyone else says the same too! good luck and let us know when you get a date, gillian x

Dammit!!!! I always miss stuff like that :mad2: Will it be repeated on another of the sky channels do you know Flirty?

That bath full of Chinese food sounds downright sexy, I think I may prefer melted choccy atm though:thumbup:

We had salt and pepper chicken wings and special fried rice and curry and chips last night. I did manage some of it, but poor hubby ends up scoffing too much and he will start putting weight on. Its the no smoking thing with him too.:smile2:

I have been eating again... small portions...but I'm sure I've put that 4lbs back on.

I still feel the urge to smoke if I dont have a patch on and its been 7 weeks today since I last smoked. Does the longing ever go away???:sneaky:

Yeh Flirty but you're a young woman plenty of time to give up when you're ready.

Yes weighed myself and the weights back on, must have been Water or some such stuff lol.

All that pain and discomfort for nowt....if i dont start losing after my next fill then i will start smoking again, cos I'm not paying out all this money to stay fat.

hi gary & all

just to say that my daughter was in glasgow this morning for her first fill with chris duprez she got 3ml (she was banded on 6th March). Her weight loss to date is now 23lbs....16.2 to 14.7, so all good. her initial restriction had worn off in the last week so she felt that she needed to be extra extra good with will-power alone. i shall report back re how good she feels her restriction over the next few days.

best wishes to everyone

k

      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!!
