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

thanks laila when are you getting banded:wink2:

Friday the 13th I'm having my band!! spooky huh!!

Good piece of advice. I have been boxing up left overs so that I can food process them down into nutritious thin and thick soups for the different stages.

Interesting that you can have soft pasta when Dr Chris said no in the group chat. I suppose if it is really soft and cut up small it shouldn't be a problem or am I being naive??

Hi

Pasta and rice I can eat no problem when well cooked and with sauce, it's meat that I struggle with and bring up no matter how much I chew. I can do a few mouthfuls no problem then get the funny throat feeling and I know now that it has to come up.

I have had 3 fills now, 6ml in total and the last one was end of June as I go abroad soon so didn't want to waste a fill (or money!) in July by having to have a defill this month so that I can fly.

Some days it feels so tight I bring everything up as soon as I try and eat, and other days I can eat anything and quite a bit of it, its very odd.

Weight loss has slowed but I'm reassured that Kerry/Scooby doo has lost the same as me in the same amont of time, but really hoping it picks up when I have my next fill in Sept.

Good luck all x

Hi Nat u must b releaved Thetime goes by so quickly it almost feels like a dream that this timelast week I was returning home.

get lots of rest and keep posting

Has anyone tried the Opti Slim VLCD protein shake diet at Lloyds Pharmacy? Are they nice?

Or has anyone tried Advilite soups and shakes?

I have done the Cambridge before and quite liked those but can't be doing with having to go see a councellor every week, but I want to go back on protein shakes after my hols to give my weight loss a real good boost and get my BMI down so that the Doc can refer us back to the fertility specialist for IVF before Crimbo.

Any other protein/meal replacement shakes that you guys can recomend would be very helpful.

Thanks x

PJ sorry i didnt reply sooner, I couldnt get on the site all afternoon.

You do sound like you have reached your sweet spot hunny, I wouldnt have another fill, cos you might have to go back to get some out.

Why dont you leave it for another month and see how you go.

Mine is still tight from the stressful and starving myself weekend. I love it, dont need another fill atm.

Pearce came back with me as my husband was waiting for me at the hotel. Nothing was said by the taxi company they were fine about it.

Good luck tomorrow guys and welcome to a new you!

can anyone tell me if i will be able to fast after my opp,it will be during ramadan (the fasting month for Muslim)where we eat early morning then stop eating before sunrise until sunset. i've never had any problem fasting but this time will that have any effect on my band??

Thanks everyone.

I do feel less pain this morning and had about 14 hours sleep last night lol, must have needed it. I was able to sleep on my side helped by lots of pillows which helped, as i hate sleeping on my back.

The one thing I will say is I wish someone had warned me about the drain, it was like a long snake coming out lol.

Good luck to everyone getting banded soon.
