Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

[wannabe slinky 4]

Did everyone have a good xmas? I was dreading the dinner time etc but I actually managed it, I cooked it all myself and everyone tucked into yummy food while I had a shake lol had a great day though and got very spoilt hope everyone else had a nice day. Been having such a lazy day today watching lots of films and I dont intend on doing anything else lol.

I dont really find the liquid diet hard honeybelle, ive tried all the slimfast shakes etc before but they never filled me up so it was really hard to stick to but now I cant finish a full shake. Just hoping when the mushy and solid stage comes it will be as easy, im a bit nervous tbh!

Not long to go til your date

merry christmas to you all,i couldnt eat my xmas dinner at all,hubby made the gravy with the juice from the turkey and it made me sick anything to do with fat makes you sick lol so i was starving watching them all eating lol,the nice stuff went down well though like trifle lol,i normally eat once a day in the evening as i find my band tight through the day lol it just depends but im starving at the min cant wait for my fill xx

Hi Slinky,

Sorry havent been on in a few days. Getting on well so far, think I have nearly 20 pounds off or thereabouts - because we didnt get our first fill I am eating more than I would like too!!

E-mailed Fred after our fiasco to Dublin and havent heard a word back from him - have to say Im pretty peeved - thats well over 3 weeks ago and want to get a fill asap.

Had a great Christmas though but now really just want restriction and to get the scales moving again. How you getting on?? well done on the weightloss..moving down well

Chat soon,

RC

Hi all

Posting from a variable Florida weather wise!

Must say I have had the most awful time food wise. All I have managed is Soup and more soup and more soup! Yes I think you get the picture. Soup and yoghurt which sometimes I am able to eat without issue and other times it can be a wasted cause and I have to go to the bathroom.

I've been cook, laundry maid and general skivvy for one member of the family and without thanks. I actually told her that she had ruined my holiday with all her pathertic immature behaviour hidiing in her room, asking me about when the maid will be in to clean and change the beds!! No thank yous and to top it all I was told by my husband that I had trashed Christmas along with my mother! So pissed off and I don't think my comment about "Courtesy starts at home" went down to well. So above all feeling pretty crap about the whole thing and have vowed never again!!!!! In some ways I feel very sad that I saved for a whole year to be on the receiving end of this and just wished that we had come away on our own. Poor children it's supposed to be about having a family experience all they've been exposed to is arguing and I have been the piggy in the middle and hating every minute of it. Never again.

Last night they all sat down together and enjoyed a meal that I cooked for them and then I had to wait 15 minutes for my own to heat up before I could sit down to eat. I think I have my priorities wrong., Everytime there is the whiff of stress I seem to head for the bath room.

Would love to know if I have lost anything but have to wait until I get home to weigh and measure. One thing that has gone down is white wine (forget my love of red just won't stay just too acidic) haven't had much but have had some!

Anyway Happy New Year to you all and I hope everyone is well. Sorry to be such a killjoy just need to clear my head as my husband only sees his mothers side! Anyway night all sleep tight.

[blondynurse 0]

Well it been just over 4 weeks since my surgery and I am feeling really low at the minute. I was supposed to get my 1st fill in Dublin on Tuesday. so Rosie & I travelled down in the snow only to find clinic cancelled. Was some what PO'ed as they didn't even try to contact us but they managed to let the people the rent the space from know early in the day. Now it will be Jan before i can get my fill and now fighting the urge to eat everything I see.

So to top off a great day on my way back home on the train we had to get off at Portadown wait over an hour in the cold for a bus to Belfast and then because of the traffic missed my connecting train. Was very cold and miserable at this point but then my lovely dad drove to Belfast and gave me a lift home.

Well moan over and good luck to everyone who has booked to get there band and great work for all those losing as you are giving me hope at the moment

Hi Blondynurse,

I made an initial appointment and talked to Chris Deprez and then was sent away to think about it but I made up my mind to go for the surgery pretty quickly and emailed for an appointment but Rosie Cheeks and I went during half term although you can book quite quickly depending on availability. I then transferred the deposit money and the operation date was confirmed. The next clinic dates for Dublin is Thursday 6th Jan and the Belfast (but it is actually Bangor) is on the 20th of Jan.

I hope all this information helps and please feel free to personal message me if you need any more information or just a chat.
