Hi

I have decided to get the procedure done - just have to save up for it. I live in uk and want to go to Brussels as it seems cheapest and safest there. Anyone know of the above?

Thanks

Hi kaka i would tell your daughter to try and get the week off work, it will be worth it and believe me it will be needed x

Hi MMM thanks for the tips I'm getting really nervous but excited at the same time, how are you feeling now are you still sore, whats your diet like, do you feel you have much restriction sorry all ? lol :sneaky:

Hi shoes, I'm feeling fine, just a little tight around the stitches, my diet is varied there is nothing that I've tried that would'nt go down as long as i ate slowely taking tiny bits at a time, there is no restriction yet, however i dont look for food in between meals, and the total size of meals will fit on a saucer. I will weight tomorrow.

i tonight have boiled some potatoes really soft and fried some lean bacon, onion, garlic and mshrooms in olive oil then place all of it inc potato into food processer and then grated a small ammount of cheese on top then under grill. It was lovely a good wee tip for those post op as it has protien from bacon, carbs from potato fat from oil and cheese and veg from onion and mushroom so all in all balanced and dam tasty.

whenever i go a few 4-5 hours without eating anything i have been getting the painfull hic ups and the wind pains in the chest and shoulder. Are any of you guys getting this, any ideas.

Gx

ooooh I have'nt had that but I eat small amount not more than 4 hours apart, I can actually eat anything not just mushy stuff, I had some toasted hot cross bun loaf for tea and nibbled on two small slices for about 20 mins.

Does anyone know how to put those weight loss trackers at the bottom of your post, i think it is a good motivator

Sorry gary i cant help you on that one, i did get trapped wind that traveled up to my shoulder, i do still get it but its not as often and not any where near as painful as it was, i just take a rennie and that clears it. I just had liquids for two weeks after my op, i didnt try any foods i think i was too scared...after being told to stay on liquids for ten days, hope you get it sorted x

Cant Weight.:tt2::thumbup:

I am getting so nervous/excited now, this time next week it should be all over and I should be back home.

I wish I could sleep for the parts in between :tt2:

The most scarey thing for me is that I will come round and the surgeon will say...sorry we couldnt put you a new band in.

But that's nothing new for me because I dreaded that last time too.

For you newbies pondering on whether to go for the band, dont even think twice, it was the most wonderful thing I ever did for myself.

Even though I only lost 2 stone, (with another 3 to lose) I felt wonderful, and always consoled myself with the fact that I would never again be overweight ( huh...little did I know)

So go for it!!!!!

I think its the most fabulous thing that any overweight person can do for themselves.:thumbup::thumbup: And also worth any amount of discomfort/pain. You soon get over it.

The first time i had my band implanted it was 3 weeks before Christmas and by Christmas I felt great and had lost weight.

I hope this helps.

I've got one aswell, but did'nt have time till weekend to set it up. woop woop. xxx mmm xxx :tt2:
