I was quite surprised yesterday as I went for my 4th fill and not too happy about weight loss. However I lost another 4lbs this month and Wendy has told me that I have now lost 56 percent of the weight I need to lose,. So Im over the half way mark at 4 and a half months from being banded. Put that way really cheered me up.

Your doing great Bobo.

Flirty youve done brilliantly without restriction but you should have got what you paid for so defo be firm with CDB.

Gary I hope everythings going well for you.

TIN where are you, how you doing, did you go for a fill yesterday? Im going back in Dec at 1.30 would love to catch up. Jx

Cheers flirty,gary homecare

Good for you flirty i think now you deserve to have decent restriction for the money you've spent.Sometimes its the only way in life you'll get somethings is by complaining.Fred obviously thinks because you've done so well that you must have had restriction but you know yourself you haven't.Its sods law but i bet you this is the time when you get your next fill at Christmas you'll be as tight as hell and you wont be able to have a Christmas dinner.lol

I'm sure with all the exercises you do Gary you'll be fine .If i could do a tenth of what you do it would fall off me.lol

Do you think that will be you with fills for this year?

I'm delighted for you home care thats brill when you put it like that as I'm sure it wont be long before you get to your goal.

Great to hear of all your succes stories, I am nervous as hell now as I am being banded on Tuesday 17th Nov. Keep having strange dreams and waking up in a cold sweat. Not dreaming about the operation though, keep dreaming all my teeth fall out for some reason and that I am being chased. Oh well the fear will all be over come Tuesday evening. I totally admire you all for the courage it takes to go ahead with the op. Have not told very many people so am having to keep a lid on my feelings, just want it to all be over. I will be thinking of all your wonderful words of wisdom and every thing I have read on here come Tuesday, you have all helped to inspire me to make this big decision and I thanks you for that. May not get a chance now to get back on here so will come back on post op. best wishes all. MiaBlue

aw thats a shame, the gym will make a huge difference but please please please give it time, i say to folk that it will take at least a month of going min of 3 times a week before even mentally you feel the benefit and then you will get obsessed, just trust me. Some days you will drive into car park and want to drive right back out but it does change.

Hi all, i have been reading your advice to each other and it is brilliantthat you are all so supportive of each other how cool is that.

I am a newbie i was banded on 6th october2009, and i am due for my first fill on 19th november, i have lost around a stone and 1 lb since being banded, which doesnt seem that much :) to be honest i am struggling to stick to healthy options and low fat food grrrrrr i am pretty hungry is this normal.

maybe you guys could help me out by pointing me in the right direction lol

I have also noticed that some people have had quite a few fills, how many do you get and when, who decides how much fill you get, also how long does this fill carry on go on for God i sound so needy haha i just need to know what to look out for.

Please tell me it isnt painfull getting the first fill done.

thanks so much for letting me vent my fears, yor a brilliant bunch and congratulations on all the weight loss you have all done so well i feel a failure already hahaha.

look forward to hearing from you all and having your support

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
