Well I am all done :)

Back at the hotel now and fly home tomorrow. Still quite sore and have pains in my chest, but I think thats trapped wind cos it keeps gugling lol.

Hopefully I wont be so sore tomorrow. all I want to do at the moment is sleep!

Have been drinking Water and tried a coffee, but it tasted disgusting with sweetner instead of sugar, so I will give that a miss for a while.

Am going to have a cup a Soup later.

Good piece of advice. I have been boxing up left overs so that I can food process them down into nutritious thin and thick Soups for the different stages.

Interesting that you can have soft Pasta when Dr Chris said no in the group chat. I suppose if it is really soft and cut up small it shouldn't be a problem or am I being naive??

Hi

Pasta and rice I can eat no problem when well cooked and with sauce, it's meat that I struggle with and bring up no matter how much I chew. I can do a few mouthfuls no problem then get the funny throat feeling and I know now that it has to come up.

I have had 3 fills now, 6ml in total and the last one was end of June as I go abroad soon so didn't want to waste a fill (or money!) in July by having to have a defill this month so that I can fly.

Some days it feels so tight I bring everything up as soon as I try and eat, and other days I can eat anything and quite a bit of it, its very odd.

Weight loss has slowed but I'm reassured that Kerry/Scooby doo has lost the same as me in the same amont of time, but really hoping it picks up when I have my next fill in Sept.

Good luck all x

Has anyone tried the Opti Slim VLCD Protein Shake diet at Lloyds Pharmacy? Are they nice?

Or has anyone tried Advilite Soups and shakes?

I have done the Cambridge before and quite liked those but can't be doing with having to go see a councellor every week, but I want to go back on Protein Shakes after my hols to give my weight loss a real good boost and get my BMI down so that the Doc can refer us back to the fertility specialist for IVF before Crimbo.

Any other protein/meal replacement shakes that you guys can recomend would be very helpful.

Thanks x

PJ sorry i didnt reply sooner, I couldnt get on the site all afternoon.

You do sound like you have reached your sweet spot hunny, I wouldnt have another fill, cos you might have to go back to get some out.

Why dont you leave it for another month and see how you go. :)

Thanks everyone.

I do feel less pain this morning and had about 14 hours sleep last night lol, must have needed it. I was able to sleep on my side helped by lots of pillows which helped, as i hate sleeping on my back.

The one thing I will say is I wish someone had warned me about the drain, it was like a long snake coming out lol.

Good luck to everyone getting banded soon.

      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.
