:cursing:No they know I wont change my mind but I am thinking they are thinking (if you know what I mean), hell if she gets thin with this band then we are going to show her we can get thin the NATURAL WAY. Maybe I am paranoid but I dont think so. J x

Well I'm sorry hun, but even if they lose it the "natural way" they will put it back on the "natural way" too and more.

We have all tried every diet and food fad over the years to know that nothing works in the long term, except surgery.

Saying that..... atm I'm reading that Jon Gabriel book, the guy who shed loads of weight without dieting or surgery and has no loose skin.:thumbup:

Yes Freckles dont we know how easy it is to put it back on.:tongue_smilie:Timeisnow I cant believe Im actually doing this. Is there times when your apprehensive, not about the band but the operation itself. Sometimes Im waking up in the middle of the night and thinking about this and at the moment its in the forefront of my mind all the time. I am bombarding my hubby about details of this. I think he will be bored with me by the time the operation comes around. I must not be a band bore, but its so hard to talk of anything else at the moment. J x:tt2:

yeh i know how you feel homecare,just the same a bit apprehensive re the actual surgery/aftercare as we are not covered if anything were to go wrong?

but if i could i would actually do it sooner as for me i then know the major risk part is done im back home so take it from there!

Lol, iv just shown them to dave.. they may tell you to do the surgery over a couple of ops, that is a lot of surgery you want and your body might not be able to take it all at once but im sure when you go for your consulatation they will tell you everything. She did look good after tho didnt she x

Ok I admit it - I feel like a freight train has run me over and I AM thinking what the hell did I do?? Banded May 21st..

My restricton came away today - was quite surprised as i didn't eat anything for the first 2 days as such... now I felt hungry for the first time.

Thanks for the arnica tips also - i look a little like an addict right now - and on the trip home got looked at a lot like - "what did you do????"... lol...

any suggestions for newly banded bander for food in the first 2 weeks??? or did everyone just stick to slim fast and cup a Soup? ?

thanks :thumbup:

Hi guys, Soooo sorry about my rant yesterday, but i think i was panicking about Water. It feels like i can't drink fast enough to keep hydrated but am managing about half a litre a day. Tried Ribena very light yesterday and managed a litre to fingers crossed. Thanks to you all for your kind words and tolerence, feeling much better about it now x

Hey wishfull... getting there - was a bit disappointed that I did feel that way as so many people said they felt fine the next day.

I did have to have a blood transfusion so that could also add to it. I feel ok with paracetemol. Port site is the only one that really hurts.

We drove to and from Belguim and I'm really pleased, it worked out well - on the ferry back there was 50 or so American tourists and hundreds of mini drivers heading for Silverstone - the bruises look pretty bad on me because of the transfusions and numerous blood tests etc - so both arms have numerous large bruises, forearm, back of arm...:mad:

The american tourists kept looking at me and shaking their heads in pity... it was funny actually... how they assumed they knew everything. :party:

5 weeks - you must be so excited!!

Dr Chris said I'd feel this way so I feel better - just disappointed I wasn't one of the lucky ones who got to be fine quickly ...:lol:

it'll happen. I'm booking my first fill for 4 weeks... :thumbup:

Hi nzniki44 hope you feel better soon.. everyday you will feel better, make sure you get plenty of rest as this will help you recover. the 1st 10 days after surgery i only had cup a Soup and slim fast then i went on veg and potatoe mushed up with gravy, but your portions will be a lot smaller.. at 1st i was full after a couple of fork fulls (didnt last tho) x

      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.
