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

So pleased you found the video useful, miss flump was a regular on here around xmas time, and I found her posts very informative, if you go to past posts of around that time you will find that she is a school teacher and a lot of her info is useful. happy reading. mmm

Can you give me a link? Sounds brilliant!! :eek:

Got it, it's fab, here's the link for everyone else if they want to check it out...

Hi everyone

I'm back from the in-law's and somehow I got away with not confessing my dirty secret!! I actually ended up with a really sore throat and cold which became the perfect excuse!!

My band is still very tight especially in the morning but I can get liquids down and a bit of food so I think I'm over the worst. I may have a little unfill on Sunday as going away in 3 weeks to Tenerife. Has anyone actually had an unfill for a flight over 4 hours?

Water is still uncomfortable but I have been trying to neck it! I saw Carrie's post saying she could only sip so that's what I'll do! I actually managed a whole sausage and a spoon of macaroni cheese for dinner. Not the healthiest I know but I've been eating so little I wanted to get some calories inside me as I don't want my metabolism to slow down.

Freckles - sounds like we are in the same boat!! :sad: How are you feeling now? I can actually say in the last 10 days I haven't felt hungry once - so I have faith my band will help me lose weight! I had at the back of my mind I'd be one of the people it didn't work for.

Wishful - many congratulations!! You look faaaaaaaaaaaaar to young to be a granny!!

Hello to everyone else, all the newbies and those who've just been banded.

I'm here until Thursday then off again to see a friend for a few days!! I've got another friend staying for a few days at the mo. We went to a National Trust property today and the hip carrier thing to carry the baby didn't fit me! I would've usually been mortified but thought I'd go back next year and try again!! God I really don't wanna go back to work!! I'm working on that one!! :eek:

hi sammy nice to hear from you, how is the weightloss with that good restriction> i have missed to months of fills beacuse i have been abroad so i cant get one now till 25th june however willpower and training still prevails so am still loosing allbeit slowly but it aint goin up, i have been loosing inches though.

Gx

hey flirty are you out there, howz the restriction going you got any yet.

gx

Hey Sammy, glad you're back girl, you do get around dontcha.

yes I think I am in the same boat as you, been dying for you to get back to exchange stories.

The first night was horrendous, I kept waking every hour choking.

I have learnt my lesson now, dont drink anything before retiring.

How is Harrison, hope he's better.

Glad you still have your secret btw lol.

Have you lost more weight hunny?

he hip carrier thing to carry the baby didn't fit me!

How small do they make everything...damn idiots, you're not very big, so how would a really large person go on...they make me sick, catering only for the skinnies.

Hi Freckles - I should've given u my mobile number. I'll PM it to u

Harrison is fine thanks - into everything. Yesterday he fell off the bed (not v high though) and this ma fell on the magazine rack and has a bruise (v small) on his eye lid! I'm praying he doesn't get a black eye!! What will people think!!

It's horrid eh the choking? It really scared me! I was actually able to eat/drink an acceptable amount this pm so it must defo loosen throughout the day.

I think I've lost just over 10kg since I had my band done so that's about a stone and a half. I'm pleased anyway. Ur donig great especially with the non smoking.
