Welcome cant wait, you've made a great choice, and Gary is a fab guy so I'm sure he'll give you a male version as I believe you will have an extra incision.

lunch - here goes - I told my friends I was going for magic eye investigation (liar liar pants on fire) and I could'nt eat lumps only Fluid and smooth food. so I had:

6 spoons of tom Soup, cauliflower cheese and gravy mashed together about 3 desert spoons, then custard with rubarb (no crumbe) about 2 desert spoon, then ice cream with rasberry coulis 2 desert spoons, we took over 2.5 hrs so i had plenty of time between courses, nobody notices my small potions, because i usually save myself for desert anyway. I was'nt overstuffed, but would not have wanted anymore, all in all it worked out fine.

Considering I was only banded on 13th feb, its all good.

Cant weight.

No probs i was 28 st 10 at the start of nov (BMI 57) and decided to start training again and eating properly, i have lost 8 stone twice in 10 years through eating and training but put it back on. After my consultation Dr Chris would prefer my BMI to be closer to 50 so that was all the motivation i needed. The morning of my op i was 25 st 7 and this morning i was 24 13 so i am 2 pound off 4 stone since nov so a good start even before i get resticiton so i am pretty please.

Feel free to ask any more questions

Contacted cdb and he said put ice on it and check with GP. Done that and he thinks its just delayed post op bruising and swelling and said all wounds are nice clean and not inflamed.

I had told my mum hahahahaha, seems to have went down a bit.

You decided on your menu, i think fillet steak and chips is just perfect, ooops am dreaming again says he as I tuck into a bowl of custard, how flamboyant.

hahahahaha

Thanks for support

Garry

Swelling down a bit today so i am now convinced it is just post op swelling and not an internal bleed.

A good bit still to go down but not worrying anymore.

Thanks for all the concern

Hi cant weight I travelled heathrow to belgium international which is the closest airport to the hotel and hospital with BMI it cost £140 return for 2 people and takes about 1 hour.

Chris, Frediricks side kick, regularly travels via eurostar, when he comes to wales for band fills, so I dont think its too much trouble. Your first priority should be the ease of the RETURN trip the less walking and sitting, and changes and the quicker you get home, will make a big difference. hope this helps. xxxmmmxxx

Hi gary so pleased the swelling has gone down a bit. I noticed mine was a lot less swollen this morning, but comes up a bit through out the day, or it could be my lunch. :tt2:

I changed my dressings today and all looks clean and neat, I have choosen to get the stitches taken out at my local gp, with the surgery nurse, next monday, but I've not yet decided on who is going to provide my band fills, what are you doing

I changed mine the other day but now have removed th plasters to allow them to get air, they are getting itchy so i think that is them knitting.

I have booked a fill with Chris on 19th march however i looked at the wls place you spoke about and the yhave a clinic at glasgow, will decide after first fill me thinks.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
