Hey,

Just a quick question!! Is fizzy a big no no as i see you can drink a couple of pints! Its just if i do go for a drink I like to have vodka and diet coke as wine tends to give me bad acid reflux!!!!

until you reach your sweetspot its kind of ok but i have been conditioning myself from start and not having it so its easier, i am also a vod and d coke drinker and if i am in a house then its easy by just pouring a pint of diet coke and using it to top up vodka as it generally goes flat, when out its a bit tougher, i opt for the gun coke where normally i would have bottles as its normally flatter.

Hi odgemodge since i had my band fitted i havn't been able to drink fizzy drinks at all, i like southern comfort and lemonade but have to let it go flat before i can drink it and i dont like wine so thats out, we are all different and you may be ok with fizzy drinks, its all trial and error x

WOW that is expensive, ask dr chris how much his tt will be and what the waiting time would be, Dont be hasty tho cos you may get it for free and might not have to wait to long, i didnt have to wait long to get breast reduction on NHS x

Yeah i just know in ireland its alot harder than the uk to get procedures done and i bet they'l expect me to be at at steady weight for 6months or more and alot of other requirements before they would even consider it but il see if i hear anything back from them i know dr chris does tt but i wana get Lipo too and im terrified at thought of the op i think id feel safer getting it done here incase of infection or anything i could just go to the hospital its a top general hospital i wouldnt even go to a cosmetic clinic as id be too afraid but il see what way it go's i still have a stone and a half to go

Hey bobo thanks for tip im just after managing to get a coffee down thank god i really dont know what happened but im gona stay on liquids for a day or 2cos i can actually feel my insides swollen and my throat is killing me from heaving so much so im not even chancing food... I was at my doc today asking about plastic surgeons she said she'l write to plastics in dublin see if i could get it free but im not holding my breath cos of the times and little funding but sure its worth a shot but one way or another it'l be done lol i was thrilled i was 6st 7lb lighter on her scales and 8st 7lb lighter than when i was at my heaviest so cant complain and hopefully a few days on liquids will leave me a few more lb down and then with fill next week i plan on staying on liquids the monday nite till the sat try give the fill a good chance to settle and a week on liquids usually shrinks the stomach too so fingers crossed il hit the 7st mark but i vow not to eat shit cos any time i have done recently it aint been nice and my latest experience last nite has put me right off... and odgemodge i drink vodka and red bull no probs sure once the red bull hits the vodka and ice it loses its fizz but i also have a few beers too and have had no probs

You are an amazing weight loss machine flirty you should be so proud of yourself!!!

I have read that if your band has slipped its really really painful (like you cant move painfull) and if you have been able to drink today then its probably because you are so swollen after all the throwing up. However if you cant get any liquids down over the next 24 hours then you need to see your doctor because you must stay hydrated. Just keep trying with Water and coffee or clear broth and see how you get on. If you get really worried then go to the hospital and have an xray done they will be able to see if your band has slipped or there is something stuck somewhere.

Keep us posted....

I bet you are excited! I have just under 3 weeks to go and I can't contain myself! Luckily I'm away on holiday the week before - it might take my mind off it a bit (some hope).

I'd just like to wish you well and eager to read your experiences on here. :cool2: Westie x

Thank you to everyone for all your great advise over the past few weeks, without your help and advise I would not have got thought this without all your help and advise. Thanks agains :laugh::thumbup:

      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.
