Ahh Slinx you are so nice, thank you for the compliment about my daughter. She is so happy now, she has a new partner, a beautiful baby girl and her own shop.

I'm so happy for her. her happiness shows doesnt it.

It took her from 2005 to 2008 to get rid of the 8 stone and now she needs a TT. Always something isnt there.

She didnt have her band too tight, because she was over-filled at one point and was frightened to death cos she couldnt swallow her own saliva and had to travel all the way back down to Southampton from the North West to get a de-fill, so she has just kept it to not being able to eat too much and it worked for her.

She did have a defill when she was 6 months pregnant and only put on a stone altogether in the 9 months, she's still trying to lose it, its coming off albeit slowly.

I am so looking forward to going to Belgium, havent had a holiday this year after last years big one.

Thanx for the good wishes.

Geez dont i natter lol

hey freckles is does show how happy she is,everyone is beautiful,but i think we all have an inner beauty that shines out when we are confident and happy in our lives,it's amazing her whole life has changed,i dont think some people realise what putting on weight can do to a person,it is the difference between living and living life to its fullest,we will all get to that place very soon,well some of you are almost there anyway,somthing to look forward too lol,if you get a chance try and jump the train to brugge if that how its spelt lol there isnt much in vilvoorde,ps cant get over how much your daughter look like you no of mine look like me lol:wink2:

Thanks Freckles for the info on posting photos - I'll get hubby to give me a hand later. I'll get him to take another photo actually as I've lost prob a stone since last full shot I've taken. Could use my FB profile photo taken in pizza Hut though couldn't I?!!! :thumbdown: After visiting the ice cream factory and having seconds of the toppings lol!! :) No actually I prob only managed 2 small pieces of pizza and a small ice cream. Funny how the sweet stuff goes down so much better though eh?!!!

Slinky - u'll be at goal before you know it. I don't know if my photos will inspire you but I hope so!! I'd lost another 2lb this morning - not sure how but I have so maybe 12 stone by Christmas will happen!

Hi everyone, I went out with some friends the other night for dinner (something Ive avoided since being banded) the meal wasnt a problem but I found when we went onto a pub finding something to drink difficult!!! so I was wondering what do you all drink when out socialising (all I could think of asking for was Water as everything else seemed to be either fizzy or calorie laden) :thumbdown:

Congratulations that's great! Keep with the soup as I find it is my main staple at the moment and I am 10 weeks in. I have soup at school most days - just lots of different NCG ones.

Keep us posted on your loss and stay positive.

Hi Everyone.

Not been here for a couple of weeks been sunning myself in egypt! Thanks for the previous comments to my messages.

Anyway, my op is booked for 2 weeks tomorrow. I'm really nervous, not about the op itself but the hard work afterwards. Its great to hear of all of your success stories, it really does give you motivation.

Anyway, any tips in the next few weeks would be very useful.

Hey its the best thing I have ever done. Really happy the weight is flying off. The hospital staff where great chris and fred are lovely. And I can call bridget whenever I have a problem no complaints . There was no way I was going to lose the weight without the band.

Hey just dont worry its the best thing I have ever done! Everyone is helpful when you are there. And bridget is really helpful afterwards if you call her. I must admit I am sick of herbellife shakes . But this works and after a month you can eat nearly normal just smaller sizes.

      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!!
