Well done you! Great piccies, too many memories! What's a skerrick? Is it something you northerers aspire to?

I've seen WLS Wendy a couple of times now and now am the proud possessor of 4.5mls saline, and it's made a noticable difference. She's lovely and so encouraging. Thanks forum folk for helping me find her!

Hi everyone, good to see you all, sorry not been on here for ages you all know wat it is like, I work full time and dont get home till 6 each evening. It is so good to see how well every one is doing. Sorry to hear your mess flirty, I feel just the same as you, I have only had 3 fills, still no restriction, food gets stuck all the time, but I never feel full, I just end up in lods of pain, I have not lost any more weight, I am now starting to put weight on, which is depressing, I am not having a fill till after Jan next year, that is because I dont want to spoil xmas. Everyone is sounding good, I am going to be good from now till exmas and hopefully I will lose about half a stone, fingers crossed. By the way guys, I became a Nana on weds to a lovely little boy Harrison, he is the cutest little man ever x

Congratulations on your new grandson Mandy, Harrison is a lovely name.

I know this band can be depressing. Last month I was elated with my weight loss and this month Im really p***ed off. I havent done anything differently but hardly any weight loss. Im going for 4th fill on Tuesday at Glasgow with Wendy. So hopefully that will get things moving again.

Flirty you have done so well without restriction and I think your doing the right thing going to see Wendy she has a vast knowledge of the band and Im sure she will set you right. Jx

Hi all congratulations Mandy on your new arrival .You will just need to stick in there until you get your restriction.I think it took me a while to get my head round that if you keep getting stuck and end up in pain it meant i was eating too fast or too much.If you dont chew properly this will happen also.If you dont get your head round these three things when you do get more restriction the pain will just get worse.Like gary said a few pages back the band is just a tool your eating patterns have to change like i have found out and most people who have had sticking episodes.The band can change how much we put in our stomach but not how much we put in our mouth and how quick .Still today sometimes i put a mouthfull of food in without realizing I'm still chewing food.I hope you get your half stone off for Xmas i will be trying for that my self.Good luck

Feel sorry for you flirty thats some amount of money to shell out for no restriction.But you have done great and you know yourself if you didnt have the band it would of been a hell of a lot harder.Ps if i had to shell out that kind of money i would be ranting too.lol

Great photos gary and you too bev that Soup still gives me the baulk thinking of it.

Keep your chin up timeisnow it will get easier. if you keep up your exercise it will pay off eventually.

      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.
