HI Anitahug,

Ahhhh the burping.... mine is the other end and i've had to resort to windease!!!!

I had a testing time today after thinking the band was a frigment of my imagination.... I bought 5 large fresh Cookies from Sainsbury's and ate 4 in the car on my way home, thought I was ok, as I used to eat the whole bag and then some! Got home and john made me a prawn cocktail, so I ate that too and felt sick as a pig and had to go to bed to recover! OMG Ive tested it to the max, never again! That'll certainly teach me.

Hope everyone is OK and enjoying being a looser, I know I am but i'm expecting miracles too soon.

Take care peeps xxxxxx

EH up Beeboo - glad it gave ya a giggle... :thumbup:

I swear i nearly died at work... all my normal foods (crispbread with primula) came all back up again (sorry for the graphic :skep:)!!

I know my band varies after each fill - it's like a learning curve every 2 weeks right now :) Ainsley harriets Soups ROCK!

I aint giving up on my skinny girl pants though, they make my 2 fat rolls look like one slightly smaller one! RESULT!

Cup-a-Soups with skinny girl pants is a small compromise :)

Hi everyone, dont know why I am bothering writeing this, I have enjoyed reading all your messages, it has been an insperation to me along my travels, but each time I post a messagage on here, I am totally ignorned, You just need to look bk at the last 3 postings of mine. Dont be affended, I know that people like to talk to certain people, I understand all that, so in future I will not post on here. I hope each and everyone of yous carrys on with you great weight lost, thanks for all the help and advice in the begining of my weight lose challenge, you were all great, keep up the good work. Mandy

Hi Everyone, I was sorry to read the above message posted by Mandy, and that she feels the need to leave the forum. Mandy, if you're reading this, reconsider your actions as I'm sure you'll regret it! I don't do many posting's these day's, but I do come on the forum regularly to find out how everyone is doing or indeed WHAT they're doing! Although I don't interact very much, I feel like everyone is part of my "extended family", from Flirty and her amazing loss & now her surgery, to the two "naughty sisters" and all their witty comments, to Gary with all the problems he's encountered, and Freckles with her poorly mum! I feel I know everyone individually!!! Beebo, if you're reading this, I too have a lot of trouble fighting the "head-hunger".....I was banded last Aug, and lost 2 stone fairly quickly , but then the head-hunger kicked-in and my weight has been static for months. Did Wendy give you any tips on how to fight it?? I find coming on the forum helps when I read how well others are doing, so Mandy please think again about leaving, because you will be missed.....and I'm sure you'll miss it too! I don't think anyone has intentionally ignored your posts! All the best to every-one, and especially all the newbies too! Kathx:smile:

Hi mandy dont leave hun, try not to take it personal I think we've all had questions unanswered or over looked on here.

Theres so many post sometimes its hard to keep up lol. We all need each others support on here & its just nice to know where not alone on this journey, I just tend to read more than post...

It would be nice if this thread could be broken up into sections like, General chat - bags&brollys- etc... if you get my drift. I guess it would be like a forum within a forum but on dr Cdb paitents etc.

@ Gary sorry to read of your probs m8, hang in there your a inspiration to me and many Gaz...hope it goes well for you this week with Dr C.

Cw.

Hi Mandy please dont feel excluded, your posts have'nt been deliberatly ignored, its just that there are quite a lot of us on here with our own preoccupations. If something is particularly bothering you please be more assertive USE CAPITALS TO GET ATTENTION, and keep on asking, until you get a response your happy with.

Welcome back Flirty, I have been thinking of you during your operations, I'm just so pleased that you've now got all you wanted and can move on with your life, keep well.

Hi Mandy I too have posted and had no answers but I dont take no for an answer so ask again and again until someone answers. We are all going through the same journey and like life we learn through the more experienced. Try to stay on the forum as one day youll be one of the experienced and the newbies will need your advice.

Dont know who asked about big knicker club but I didnt notice any difference with restriction.

Flirty what a girl I know you are impatient to show off the new you and I would be to. But get yourself better and before you know it youll be strutting your stuff.

Gary Ill be thinking of you this week and hope its just a small malfunction fingers crossed. Jx

hi homecare

I had good restriction after being banded.I lost 2 st right away but once everything settled down I put it all back on.so just be careful.I'm just starting to lose weight now and I was banded in Nov08.The head hungers done it with me, eating things that would go down easy like choc, biscuits crisps. beeboo x

Why has it taken so long for you to have restriction Beeboo. Happy birthday. Jx:thumbup:

hey homecare

I was left for 9-10 weeks before I was going to get my 1st fill due to not being able to get appointment at CDB clinic at Edinburgh so I went with wls groupe(Wendy) instead.1st fill in jan 3ml no restriction.Feb 2ml none.Mar 1ml was sick a lot.Apr did'nt get a fill.May 1ml out because I was going on holiday to Egypt and I did'nt know what kind of food they had there.june I got 1ml put back in.july I only got 0.25 put in and that hit the spot,so thats the weight starting to shift now.

Hi Mooster. Who do you go to for your fills? I waited a long time for any sort of restriction and consequently my loss has been slow but had total loss of 2st 5lbs at last weigh in with Wendy 3 weeks ago. Not a huge amount over 6 months but that's ok by me as long as it's coming off. Probably got around 2 stones or possibly less to lose now to get to an ideal weight so hoping to be there sometime early in the new year. Wendy at WLS has been really good and determined to get me going with the weight loss, she is focused on making it work for people and is probably one of the most experienced and busy post band fill practitioners around and has lots of good advice. Good to see you popping in every now and again! Bigsis 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!!
