Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

[pinkshaz 1]

I will have had my band two weeks on Friday and am still on slop!

I am having yoghurt for Breakfast, Soup for lunch and then soup/scrambled eggs or something else light for dinner. Problem is, by mid afternoon, I am ravenous and wandering around the office with my stomach growling so loud that everyone else must think I've a serious problem. Any suggestions on what else to eat. I tried porridge but it seemed to lie in my stomach and I was really uncomfortable for the rest of the day.

Not looking forward to the next four weeks until I get a fill . Dr Chris told me no meat for 4 weeks. has everyone stuck to that?

Its 2.33am and I'm in the hotel. After an ultrasound i was told I had a haematoma on the muscle which they think caused the bleed.

I'm not ashamed to say that it has scared me.

I feel rubbish and I am in a lot of pain from where the port is and the extra stitches. The trapped gas is god awful and feels like my stomach is about 3" from my throat.

I keep asking myself "what have I done?"

Be prepared everyone who is yet to go - this is quite a big op.

I need to try and sleep but it hurts to lay down and I can't get comfortable.

I didn't want this to be a moaning reply but I can't fib cos this is no easy option.

I hope I feel better soon. Nite nite x

i would be scared to lemma,i think anyone would,when you go fo an op and you know what is going to happen and what the outcome should be and your's if different and somthing dosnt happen the way everyone else's has it is a worry,but you will be fine hun and each day you will get better,try and sleep on your side with a pillow under you tummy that's what i done and for the wind as hard as it might be try walking it's suppose to really help,i didnt get the wind pains so i can only imagine how it feels,hope when you wake up today it has eased off a bit take care hun:wink2:

good morning everyone,

I have recently cancelled with Bridget and am waiting to hear back from Frederik, my flights are booked already as I was in the OP on 20th October, starting to panic now as Frederik has not got back to me to say he has put me back in!! Is he always slow???

Reading some of your stories is great but I will be honest I just dont know if I am doing the right thing, I was always a skinny minny and then met my gorgeous husband and thryoid problem and suddenly put on 5 stone of weight ( well suddenly.. maybe not.... over a period of couple of years!!) this was my fault though I just love to eat and not normal portions but big ones... (match my hub anyday!!). I then lost the weight through slimming clubs and running. Unfortunately became ill and have since given up on sports and eating well and have put 2 stone on in a year..... For me this OP isnt just about losing weight quickly, its about not having a weight problem.. its about wanting to eat smaller portions and to be honest I am just so fed up being big.. I am so down about my weight its awful.....

Anyway sorry about the moan... god I needed that!! Please help me decide its the right thing to do. (I am using alot of our savings for this) thanks everyone you are all doing so well... xx:blink:
