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

How lucky you are sweetheart that your Mum is a nurse, will she be able to do your fills for you too?

I would think being as your stitches are now out as long as there are no leaks you should be able to leave the dressings off.

I saw my GP last night, he examined my tum, and said well there's not as much fat there as there was before (compliment??). he said I have done really well.

He asked if I had piles (how embarrassing) I just nodded so he asked me to get on the couch so he could see.

I was appalled!! I said NO!!!! just believe me I do have them.

My fella was wetting himself, he says I'm so cheeky.

Anyway I have an appointment on Monday afternoon at the Spire Stretton, to see a Colorectal surgeon, :confused:...me is scared.

My daughter says she has done some research and it sounds like I have a rectal prolapse...she is the grim reaper sometimes.

I'm hoping its just an impaction and that he'll offer me a proper enima there and then.

I hope this doesnt happen to anyone else, just make sure you drink plenty of water cos I'm sure this had something to do with my problem.

Sammy babe, I havent replied to your text, will mail you instead, as there is too much to say in a text.

Hey guys, long time no speak! How is everyone? Flirty how are you doing after surgery? Any pics yet? Bet you look fab! Well just weighed myself and another 10lbs down since i last logged on (not bad considering i had alot of cocktails in Bahrain a few weeks ago!!) So that's nearly me at my 3 stone point. I can't have any more fills until i get back from the maldives on the 20 Sept so the will power is just gonna have to keep me going x

Hi Tee nice to hear from you. You have done really really well with your weight loss.

Have a wonderful time in the Maldives.

Hi Freckles your grandaughters room looks amazing, can i move there instead!!

My mum unfortunately lives 380 miles away from me so i wont be seeing her for 7 weeks now

I am on a night out on Saturday so might leave the dressings on until then and then take them off, thanks for your advice x

Gosh freckles, you are having a bad run, letts hope your problem is easily resolved, if your having a magic eye it wont hurt and just remember, they do it all the time and dont be too embarrased. Fingers crossed for you. Love mmmxxx

Maggs thank you babe, I am waiting patiently for Monday, i think maybe its just too quick to be anything worse than an impaction.

I will let you know xxxx

Hi freckles poor you.. hope it isnt too bad and gets sorted for you on monday x

Nice to hear from you tee-bird.. congratulations on your weight loss you are doing really well, hope you have a fab holiday x

Mmm what drinks from tesco are you on about, i had a look today and couldnt find them x

I think they might only be available in the larger tescos extra. They are situated by the slimfast drinks, there are two types, light version which are like slimfast with high carb, and CARB CONTROL they are in tetra blocks not bottles, the two flavours I have found are strawberry and choc the strawberry is the better of the two, you might like to try out the atkins bars as well, expensive, but I find it useful to have one lurking at the bottom of my handbag. Good luck with the hunt.

Thanx mmm i will be out on my treasure hunt later today x

Mush Ideas

I started mushies yesterday and still resorting to the old reliables. Yogurt for Breakfast (as not hungry in morn), Soup for lunch.

Had mash potatoes with carrots and broccoli in gravy for dinner which tasted so delicious, but anyone else got anymore ideas?

Also how long does this mushy stage last for?

hi sjs

I have a friend who was banded about 13/14 years ago her hair was getting really thin so she went to the dr and he gave her multivitamins called forceval vitamins and minerals she swears by them after taking them for a couple of weeks she saw a big difference in her hair and skin. I'v just started taking them last week and can see a big difference in my skin.they are a bit big but I can still swallow them whole even though my band is tight.

hi topping

congratulations on getting banded hope your feeling ok when I'm on mushes I use a wee hand blender and blend down some chicken with some gravy,sweet or mashed potatoe,veg like cauliflower,turnip, cabbage,any veg really.I blend them all seperate and sit them side by side on the plate so it's not all mixed together like a dogs dinner.you could do the same with steamed link sausage,fish and any other kind of meats but always put a wee drop of gravy or natural yogurt with some spices in with your meat cause it's to dry without it.you could also blend down some prawns or crabsicks

and seafood sauce or mayonnaise to spread on dutch crispbread as a lunch.

Hi Beeboo,

Thanks for the advice I'll ask my dr about them when i come back I think...

It's the second week of my pre-op diet. I havent weighed myself as I tend to become addicted to weighing myself once I see some progress. I am going to wait till after my surgery now!!

Well I fly out a week today and I cant wait!!!!

I've read SP's list and that has helped loads. So thankyou SP!!!!!!

I'm itching to start packing my case, but I'm going camping with my family on Thurs and come home Sat so I'll have all Sun to do it. Then I fly out on Mon. EXACTLY 6 DAYS NOW!!!!!

I cant wait, everyone keeps saying you look very excited to be goin to Belguim for a couple of days. If only they knew!:biggrin:

Bye for now

SJS
