wannabe slinky 4 Posted October 6, 2010 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SAMMY77 0 Posted October 6, 2010 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!

SummerBreeze 0 Posted October 6, 2010 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheree81 0 Posted October 7, 2010 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. xxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
janesunny 0 Posted October 7, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
