wannabe slinky

lol when someone over here in ireland is worried or concerned we say dont let it annoy you that all lol,im fine claire weight loss is slow can only eat soups and the odd sandwich but doing fine hun xx

poor you princess you will have a better experience this time,must be so annoying having to go through this all over again,cant wait to see how you get on keep us posted xx

have you heard back from dr chris claire,i would get a defill if i were you and just see if it make any difference,hopefully you should be fit to eat a bit more normal food as in normal meals just small portions,it's better to try than be all annoyed about it and wind yourself up and prob tighten your band more lol hope your ok hun xx

hi princess were all different i lost about 2 stone first 6 months,as for eating i just went with what my body allowed me to eat lol,have you been banded before as it says banded by acs on your message lol

hi A as jojo and cadence have already said you wont really need anything you will get your pain meds and that is all i needed,but windeeze and deflatine will be fine i took cup a soup and some ready made slim fast but never felt like eating anyway just drank lots of water,you will be fine hun,travel light to hospital as you wont need much,i wore their nighty so didnt take any pj's i just took the clothes i was wearing and wore these to go back out and a wash bag and small towel,make sure you wear somthing baggy and loose as you tend to bloat up i wore jogging bottoms and large t shirt and crocs as you find it hard to bend down,i just got the parecetamaol in the drip they never gave me the injection in the backside not everyone get it as it is morphine my neice did just depends on how you are after surgery but you will be fine uncomfortable when you come around and your first day but defo gets better each day hope that helps any more questions just ask mandy x

hey all i wouldnt worry too much chris says to follow a low fat diet you can just eat normal sensible low fat food,just grill everything and you will be fine all the people i knew who have the band including myself just cut back on their food and they were all fine sure i live on mcdonalds before my op because i was stuck in holland and didnt like the food and im fine,not that im telling anyone to do that just use your head and eat smaller healthier portions so glad you haved you date bt turkey,ps the night before surgery they tell you to eat and drink what you like anyway,lol its like the last supper xx

well done julie dosnt it feel great im so pleased im helping my husband lose weight now and my daughter taking them walking and eating healthier lol,happy new year to you all and to a new you xxxx

well done big d,and bridget is great she does the same offer as going direct and you have her at the end of a phone,you wont be sorry im so pleased i had mine done i feel like a new woman,what date have you picked

poor you kerry and you have done so well ive heard a few people with that acid it sounds horrible but alot of them have had a small defill and it has helped how much have you got in your band and can you eat much,mine seem's to have tightened all by itself lol take care xx

hi all sorry couldnt get on here for a while for some strange reason it wouldnt let me sign in lol,anyway,your all doing brilliant and bt turkey you have made a great decision when have you booked to go it all gets exciting when your date draws near xx

ps here is frederik email he is the general manager frederik.serneels@ecfs.be plus when you put in ecfs also put belgium into google

know exactly what you mean i moved over to ni from liverpool had 2 more children and went from 12.10 to 16.10 so i know how you feel it so annoying knowing how you felt at that stage when you were happy with yoursel and like you i would lose some then get fed up and put it back on its a vicious circle mind the spelling lol,and although they tell you not to drink fizzy drinks i have the odd one in my whisky and so do a few people i know so dont worry,plus once you have the op i takes about 2-3 fills to really kick in,ecfs is the direct belgium company to get your op with they are cheaper and do a good package including taxi and hotels as cadence says its about 4150 euros,i booked direct with them,you email freddy and get a date and pay a deposit of i think 500 euro and the rest in the hotel on arrival it sounds a bit shady but honest its not,there hospitals are immaculate you stay one night in hospital and the other 2 in hotel price includes room for 2 xx

i got banded last july ive lost around 4 stone 3lb,i live in northern ireland and havnt had any probs with fills they come almost every month,food depends on person to person somedays i can eat more than others,i have chicken curry only a smallish portion and crisp and scrambled eggs i dont eat red meat anyway so for me it the same on a very small level lol but i dont feel hungry anyway,some days i live on soup and fluids hth xx

radpad i would say go for it i fell its the best thing ive ever done for myself,i have my confidence back and feel good about myself again no more hiding for me.If it's somthing you have been thinking of for a while defo just go for it,lots of people tried to put me off going for it but for me it was either listen to them and live a miserable life of none excistence totally fed up of diets that dont work or go for it and feel great so i opted for the feel good factor lol any questions just ask hun

well done hunny,were would you be without me lol,good job i got mine done isnt it lol xxxxx wedding here we come x

hi all hope you are all ok,i still havnt sampled zumba class been too busy running the kids to all the bloody clubs there in lol xx

hi sara hun glad your weight is starting to shift by the sound of things your doing well,i wouldnt rock the boat i would leave your fill till jan,there is no point getting a fill for the sake of it and if you get one too soon your weight will stall again,enjoy your loss and christmas and you will prob be ready for one in january xxx

hi all hope your all doing well sade i wouldnt care what people think as everyone has told you,you done this for yourself i dont know about you but i got my surgery when everyone including my husband was againt it but i told them all by hook or crook i would get the band and started saving and i think when hubby realized how serious i was and how upset i was at how i let myself go he agreed in the end and funded it.my point is i remember how bad you felt before you got the band and what you had to do to get it,i was at the point i couldn't live any longer the way i was and now i fell on top of the world and wont let anyone burts that bubble lol,sade think of the confidence you have now and how good you feel and dont let anyone make you feel any different you worked hard to get here and everyone will have to get use to it lol,just tell them all you want to get on with them but you are not discussing band that is your buisness,and candence yes i could eat a horse before i went for my first fill,second fill and third but it does get better hun.I find i was stuck losing weight for a while but it has started to move again slowly but hey i happy xxx

lol claire,not sure about the impact on the knees it is like salsa dancing and a few different dance moves to music ive heard you have a real laugh so will let you know how it goes,im away to belfast at the weekend with the kids,were going bowling friday,planet fun theme park saturday and ice skating sunday i will be exhausted come monday happy days xx

well cadence and slim sindy you have talked me into the zumb im goint to go to the class next wed and i will let you know how i get on.As fo food i found that i lived on soup and muller yoghurts for about 3 months but as you get more fills you dont feel as hungry,i do find sometimes i cant eat at all so i take a protein shake just to make sure im gettin somthing in and as claire said it is good to measure and weigh yourself and keep a chart of how your doing,im crazy forever getting weighed but it is exciting watching your bodyshape change and going down in size,especially when your confident is low as mine was but it defo isnt now i love all the fashion and the comments of people and without being to crude the difference in the bedroom department is red hot lol,hubby thinks im his new bit on the side lol.but just think peep's we all get there in the end and you will all be so much happier for getting the band xx

omg cadence i dindnt realize you were exercising you crazy woman lol,i took it easy for about 2-3 weeks and even then i just walked lol,take it easy you will have plenty of time to do all that,to be honest i dont do much exercise and i prob should i might check out the zumba class think that would appeal to me take care hun

thats a great loss husk,it feel's fantastic dosn't it,and just think it can only get better and better.And the whole ticker thing,i think i done mine by mistake lol,just go to the ticker factory and try and work it out from there i had a pic up and now dont know how to get one back on lol,well it is a work in progress xx

hi husk im not very good on computer so soz for not seeing the emails lol,i hope i have sorted out what you wanted me too let me know hun xx

hi husk im not very good on computer so soz for not seeing the emails lol,i hope i have sorted out what you wanted me too let me know hun xx

oh your poor thing,a couple of people have had a bad reaction but not many you just happen to be one of the unfortunates,hopefull someone on here that has had the haemetoma will reply to you as for the walking i have to admitt i was a bit slow getting around after surgery and for at least a week i was scared of overdoing it,i wasnt breathless though.i was prob going too slow to get breathless lol,hopefully things will settle down hun and you can get on with losing your weight xx
