Oh my goodness, I've just read your message from the 5th May. I'm so sorry. You seemed to be made for each other. What a real shame that is.

I'm going to have my 2nd fill tomorrow night at 8.30pm. I can eat just about anything now, and have been doing so this week, for some reason.

This fill will take me up to 5ml, as he put 2.5ml in last time (he tried for 3ml but couldn't do it). Was your fill painful? Mine was agony as he was pushing the port in with both thumbs trying to find which was the port and which was scar tissue.......tell me all! In the end I had to have it done standing up! When he stuck the needle in it lifted me off the floor with the pain!

I look forward to all these fills ending! They reckon it will be 4-6 fills before the sweet spot. Have you any restriction?

Speak soon, I hope things work out for you soon.

Hi Kerry,

Just wondering how your weightloss is going? Mine stopped about a week ago! I've upped my calories to 8-900 per day and it's still not moving. It's just not logical is it?

I'm able to eat everything now and have never pb'd.....have you? I am really careful though.

I'm having my fill on the 24th but I can't see that helping as I'm not overeating!

Speak soon,

love,

Baffled of Lancing!!

Hi Susan, how are you doing? I haven't lost any more weight in the past week and I'm really peed off about it. I'm having about 8-900 calories now so logically I SHOULD be losing it shouldn't I?

I should just not weigh myself really but I always do!

What's happening with your weight?

I lost 12lbs in the first 10 days, then it took 5 more days to lose another pound, then nothing! I don't think anything will change when I have my fill on the 24th as I'm not overeating at all. I can eat anything now, including bread, which is great! I'm really careful though as I'm not all that hungry.

Speak soon, Sue x

Hi Susan, I'm still on liquids. I had a yoghurt and some soup today.....though I think that's more "smooth" than "liquid"!! Went down well though!

I'm going to see the nurse to have my stitch out on Weds. Went to my GP on Friday and he was highly unimpressed about the whole thing and said, "well, what does he want me to do then?" I said that I thought he meant look at my wounds so he grudgingly did that. Wish I hadn't bothered!

How's work going? I went back today and it was OK but I need to be careful carrying my bags. Some people I go to live on the 5th floor with no lift so I think I need to reschedule them!!

I'm not sure if I'm OK to have those lovely dutch crispbakes you had in hospital yet?......they looked lovely. I've lost 1st 2lbs now. That's 9lbs after the op. My fill lady said that the main thing is not to put any on before the first fill.

Speak soon, all the best to Ray,

Hi Kerry,

Really glad you've lost virtually a stone. You must be really proud of yourself. I think Dr DeBruyne said that it was 5-7 days liquids for you then "soft lumps" (i.e. mashed potato etc). That's what Sharon said anyway....and she hadn't had anaesthetic (mmmmm not sure about that!).

She said that he told me 10 days liquids and then soft lumps, so I'm on the lumps tomorrow!

Speak soon, back to work for us both tomorrow I think? Good luck.

love Sue xx

Hi Susan, can you feel your port? Mine feels really prominant...I think I'm worrying too much. I've only had bovril, water and a half cup of coffee so far. Does that Weightwatchers soup count as clear liquid, if so, I'll get some??

I've booked my fill for April 24th, that'll be 6 weeks.

I was the same weight as before the op when I got home, 15st 12lbs. I am now 15st 9lbs. Hopefully something should happpen when the swelling goes down. I'm still huge!

Do you feel sick when you eat?

Take care of yourself. You seem to be getting along really well.

love

Hi Susan, how are you getting on? My gas isn't quite as bad now but still really painful. I'm still really swollen and my port site is a bit sore. I am able to drink probably one and a half small bottles of fluid a day now, so I'm happier now. Yesterday I managed a little bottle of apple juice and half a cup of bovril. What are you able to have now? I've booked an appointment with my gp on Friday for a check up. My wounds look nice and clean. Shame about this gas, as it seems to block liquid going down doesn't it?

Hope to hear from you soon, did you go back to work today? I'm still really tired!

love Sue x
