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

Well done bobo your weight loss is great...

you 2 odgemodge and im sure the trampolining will help move the weight as well as it being fun, i was going to go on my nephews (10ft) but i was scared id go through it lol x

Yeh good effort bobo I can't weait till next week for my fill so I can get moving again, been training again like a dog so it should all come together again, but well done you seen to be consistent

Wow Jo, that's a brill weight loss, congratulations. Also, bobo well done to you too. can't wait till I'm losing that much. I'm craving food badly today. Trying to convince hubby I could have a tuc cracker with philadephia on it but he was having none of it!! I know it's for my own good and my stomach needs to heal but can't help wanting!!!!

Hi mandy and tee-bird how are you both doing after your 1st fills? my restriction is a lot better now, i stayed on liquids till sunday afternoon, at the min im having slimfast for breakfast, cup a soup for lunch and small amount of veg for tea, i cant manage any meat at the min and struggled with salmon... grapes i cant eat at all, i tried soft egg and had to bring it back up as it was painful, happy days x

LOL think it is wise to listen to your hubby, if your feeling hungry just have a cup of soup to take the hunger pangs away..you are probably head hungry and wouldnt really want it if it was put in front of you lol, try and stay strong x

Cheers girls and guy for the comments.Starting to feel alot more confident in myself now that i feel the weight coming off so long may it continue.Hope you get restriction with your fill gaz.I have been training like a dog to on my wii fit.lol

I have been round stathclyde park a few times walking and a few times on the bike .I know its not like going to the gym but its better than nothing.lol

Give us shout sometime and we will do a lap round it walking the dogs.

I have missed loads on here again!!!!

I should like to endorse what Mmm said to you Kathy, my heart was breaking for you darling, you must be devastated.

Hi Homecare,

I'm not doing to bad its 5 weeks post op and think i was about 17 1/2 stone when i went in. I'm now 15stone 8 pounds so doing really well! I'm still not eating much! For today for example i have had 2 ryvita with 1 poached egg and a couple of cooked mushrooms and for tea i had cottage pie with carrots which didn't even fill a side plate!

Also i have been trampolining all day! I'm tired but have first fill on thursday in london!

Wow nearly 2 stone thats terrific:w00t: Are you still not eating very much through sheer willpower or do you still have restriction from op? Jx

Wow nearly 2 stone thats terrific:w00t: Are you still not eating very much through sheer willpower or do you still have restriction from op? Jx

Don't think its willpower as i never had any!!!!

I just told myself from day one that i would only eat at meal times and stop eating when i'm full! Also that i wouldn't deprive myself of anything, that way i would not get cravings so think my stomach has just shrunk!

hi guys im new to this site im leaving 2 morrow 18th and having the op fri 19th june im really nervous !!! what do i need 2 take as i only booked this yesterday dr chris had a cancellation so i havent even done the pre op diet !! ant hints or tips would be really greatfully recieved xxx:redface::wink2:

Welcome Alex and Alan.

OMG Alex that is fast, I wasnt banded in Belgium, but i know you need to get some dressing for your little wounds, and some painkiller melts. Good luck hunny

Hi Alan - so glad you found your way onto the site! But so sorry to hear you are in pain. Just want to let you know that I'm thinking about you - the clot sounds awful, but since you know the size of it, I take it that you have been to the doc. Please, please, please take good care of yourself - along with all the other lucky banders out there! (Very surprised to see you are 39 - you sexy beast!) Keep up the good work, Shelly! How is Mairaid doing? Love ya and love to John!, kathy

Welcome to the forum alex, at least you havnt got weeks or months to get nervous about your up coming op lol, i would take nurofen melts (painkillers) dressings from boots for when you get home and you want to change them, your biggest cut will be about 1 1/2 inches, i took slimfast and cup a soups for after op at the hotel, also take loose comfy clothes and slip on shoes or trainers as you wont be able to bend down, any questions ask away. goodluck x
