Hi mandy Im the same as you can eat almost anything and getting more difficult to resist but Im doing my best. Im going for my second fill with WLS on tuesday but know this probably wont give me restriction but with the liquid and mushy diet afterwards I generally lose quite a bit of weight. Ive not weighed myself since I came back my hols as Im scared incase Ive put any on but will defo do this tomorrow.

Starsky hope I havent missed you, good luck to you and others being banded tomorrow but I know you wont need it. Will read your post on your return. Just another tip if youve got any of those big panty girdle things that come high up your waist they really give support to the port wound, and as I suffered with a burning, nippy feeling on my port wound, Gillian advised me to wear these and I did for 6 weeks ( different pairs of course:sad: ) this really helped control the pain.

Hi Guys

Well this is my last post for a while. You haven't missed me yet Homecare, I'm leaving for the airport at 11am and in a funny sort of way I'm looking forward to getting this over and done with, so I can get on and lose this weight.

Bev is doing fine and so is Singing Parrott. I'm sure they will be on here soon, giving us all an update.

Thanks for all your kind words and advice, its really helped. Speak soon.

Sue xx

HELP PLEASE I've just got back from being "done" and have had non stop hiccups for the past three hours. I'm exhausted enough as it is! I've tried Motilium, Zoton and Windeeze to no avail. I also have a lot of frothy spit. PLEASE HELP!

Hi SP, I can sympathise with the hiccups, they are very tiring and uncomfortable and can't imagine what it's like to have them for that amount of time. I can't really suggest anything. Someone else had a problem with hiccups as well, think it may have been Mmm but think it just had to run its course - sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hope you're ok otherwise and all went well, Bigsis xx

hi all!! hope everyone is doing well?

not been on the site for a few weeks now as was having probs with pc hopefully all sorted now.

Homecare- how did your holiday go?anymore weight loss?

i have been really struggling last couple of weeks and have not been really watching what i am eating,however so far been lucky as still hovering about the 24-28 pounds lost!!

think i am badly needing another fill which is due next tuesday so hopefully that can get me back on track again??:w00t:

so difficult when you are working on just total will power before you get near or reach the "sweet spot"?

anyway good thing is i am not putting lots weight back on and am still up for the fight just need a wee helping hand again and suppose this is totally WHY i have had the band done!

p.s Bobo think i am gonna try your Protein foods as i do think the carbs are not the best for my metabolism!

Dont get disheartened you get spells like this, my weight does not have seemd to move for 4 months but i know i have lost inched and i have not been without my problems, what i will say is i am still 5.5 stone lighter than i was this time last year and i am sure you are lighter than when you started, dont get down, it never went on in 3 weeks, it will move, if someone told me in feb before i was banded that i would still be faffing aroung waiting on restriction then i would have not believed it but hey ho that how it is. I know it will move and i will look back at this point, be postive you done the right thing and trust me it will work.

....once again garry the VOICE of reason.....reading this little post has helped me already!

its about taking the rough with the smooth etc and all those sort of cliches but at the end or 6 months down the line we should ALL be closer or where we want to be!:w00t:

Hi tin I am feeling exactly the same roll on Tuesday. Holiday was great but too much calorie intake due to alcohol. Im feeling really hungry and i am also relying on willpower . I have been eating mostly protiens since I came home from hols but havent weighed myself yet do it tomorrow. Jx

Hi All Im back just quickly scanned some posts and its taken me an hour and not half way through them you lot can really talk!! Well after 16 days in Florida I have lost 2lbs. My meal portions were small as I only ate 1/4 but the choice of food I felt was unhealthy. If I didnt have salad I had chicken which was covered in a kind of batter. I did have a burger without the bun and also Pasta. I found it really hard to find something healthy as everything seemed to be deep fried or covered in cheese or dressing. I did stick to scrambled eggs for my brekky but I admit to having a few drinks in the evening mostly wine!!!! BUT it only takes a couple for me to be singing so Im a cheap date. Still normally I would have came back gaining weight and probably a stone or more and feeling bad about myself so back to reality and healthy eating.

What I have seen in the forum so far is Freckles grandaughters' nursery which is fit for a little princess. All new and pre bandsters welcome.

Gary see you put a new picture of yourself on looking good is all ok after you came back from Belgium

How you doing time is now?

Odge glad your weight is coming down due to protien diet.

Bobo your doing great boy!!

I have to go and get some food shopping done now as hubby is shouting he is starving and boys are saying " We all dont have a bl**dy band and we need fed!!" will catch up later. Jx

hiya homecare...

here gotta say a big well done to you losing 2 pounds while over in good old USA as i know from relatives etc its BIG portions everywhere!

hope you all had a brill time?

got my next fill on tuesday and do i need it???...for sure!think you are same day as me?

anyway maybe speak to you soon and tell T too we were asking for both of you!:w00t:

Hi everyone,

Today went well, I had another 1ml put in that takes it up 2 6mls. I still dont have a restriction, but I will be trying a little harder till my next fill. My port has been really sort for a few weeks, so I explained this to fred 2day, when he had a look he said that it looked like i must have pulled my port and maybe torn a stitch which has caused some internal bleeding and made me swell and sore. I am so glad this is wat it is , I was getting worried. He says the healing may take a few weeks. When he weighed me I had only put a pound on, so I was so glad. Fred reccons that another fill and I will be restricted. Sorry guys for all the moaning. I am just fed up with not loseding any weight.

[mandyfielding 0]

homecare, thanks for the message, I am the same as you. I seem to beable to eat just about anything, I told Fred this 2day, He says that I need to do more excersice and hopefully my next fill will give me some restriction. Just you keep you chin up and keep working at it. mandy xx
