Ahh Slinx you are so nice, thank you for the compliment about my daughter. She is so happy now, she has a new partner, a beautiful baby girl and her own shop.

I'm so happy for her. her happiness shows doesnt it.

It took her from 2005 to 2008 to get rid of the 8 stone and now she needs a TT. Always something isnt there.

She didnt have her band too tight, because she was over-filled at one point and was frightened to death cos she couldnt swallow her own saliva and had to travel all the way back down to Southampton from the North West to get a de-fill, so she has just kept it to not being able to eat too much and it worked for her.

She did have a defill when she was 6 months pregnant and only put on a stone altogether in the 9 months, she's still trying to lose it, its coming off albeit slowly.

I am so looking forward to going to Belgium, havent had a holiday this year after last years big one.

Thanx for the good wishes.

Geez dont i natter lol

hey freckles is does show how happy she is,everyone is beautiful,but i think we all have an inner beauty that shines out when we are confident and happy in our lives,it's amazing her whole life has changed,i dont think some people realise what putting on weight can do to a person,it is the difference between living and living life to its fullest,we will all get to that place very soon,well some of you are almost there anyway,somthing to look forward too lol,if you get a chance try and jump the train to brugge if that how its spelt lol there isnt much in vilvoorde,ps cant get over how much your daughter look like you no of mine look like me lol:wink2:

Thanks Freckles for the info on posting photos - I'll get hubby to give me a hand later. I'll get him to take another photo actually as I've lost prob a stone since last full shot I've taken. Could use my FB profile photo taken in pizza Hut though couldn't I?!!! :thumbdown: After visiting the ice cream factory and having seconds of the toppings lol!! :) No actually I prob only managed 2 small pieces of pizza and a small ice cream. Funny how the sweet stuff goes down so much better though eh?!!!

Slinky - u'll be at goal before you know it. I don't know if my photos will inspire you but I hope so!! I'd lost another 2lb this morning - not sure how but I have so maybe 12 stone by Christmas will happen!

Hi everyone, I went out with some friends the other night for dinner (something Ive avoided since being banded) the meal wasnt a problem but I found when we went onto a pub finding something to drink difficult!!! so I was wondering what do you all drink when out socialising (all I could think of asking for was Water as everything else seemed to be either fizzy or calorie laden) :thumbdown:

Congratulations that's great! Keep with the soup as I find it is my main staple at the moment and I am 10 weeks in. I have soup at school most days - just lots of different NCG ones.

Keep us posted on your loss and stay positive.

Hi Everyone.

Not been here for a couple of weeks been sunning myself in egypt! Thanks for the previous comments to my messages.

Anyway, my op is booked for 2 weeks tomorrow. I'm really nervous, not about the op itself but the hard work afterwards. Its great to hear of all of your success stories, it really does give you motivation.

Anyway, any tips in the next few weeks would be very useful.

Hey its the best thing I have ever done. Really happy the weight is flying off. The hospital staff where great chris and fred are lovely. And I can call bridget whenever I have a problem no complaints . There was no way I was going to lose the weight without the band.

Hey just dont worry its the best thing I have ever done! Everyone is helpful when you are there. And bridget is really helpful afterwards if you call her. I must admit I am sick of herbellife shakes . But this works and after a month you can eat nearly normal just smaller sizes.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
