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?

I haven't actually asked how much they charge as yet lol But you're right, going with the Bank is more secure so i think i will actually go with them :lol:

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.

      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!!
