FattyPatty 0 Posted January 15, 2011 Woo hoo!!! I have now lost 2st 1lb in 7 weeks since my last fill, just shy of 5 stone loss in total. I am absolutely delighted, it is really dropping off now, this is the lowest weight I have been since I was 20 and I finally had a monthly this week, first proper one since I've had the band (and first proper one in yonks without medical intervention!) so this has made me even more positive about becoming a mummy! If the weight loss carries on at this rate we will be at the docs at the end of the month to get our referral for IVF in again, and they won't be able to say no again because of my BMI, maybe now though the battle is going be that I am about to turn 35 . Feeling very encouraged that it could miraculously happen all on its own now, as I've been reading on other threads on here about ladies who have been cured of all PCOS systems after losing onwards of 40lbs and have gone on to fall pregnant. Please let 2011 be our year Anyhow, nice to see lots of peeps back on the thread to keep Slinks company! Congratulations to Carrie Jess, been keeping an eye out for your news so nice to see you back on here, and you too Freckles. Well done everyone else for the progress you are making, good luck to those getting back in the swing of things after Crimbo, and to all the newbies of course xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Sarah I take Floravital liquid multi Vitamin and Iron which you can get from Holland and Barratt, think I might need to get some cod liver oil as well cos my joints have become very achy in the last couple of weeks. Good luck for your op. The only money I spent was the meal and drinks the night before the op, the day I came out I managed one coffee in the hotel which lasted all afternoon in the bar and I took cup a Soups for the room, so you won't need a lot of money hun.

Please let 2011 be our year I do hope you are able to conceive naturally and well done on a superb weight loss. I have read aswell that many couples fall pregnant when one othem loses a significant amount of weight. Fingers crossed that all goes well whether it be the natural or the IVF route and that you have a beautiful baby in your arms to cherish and love. Take care and look after yourself.

You'll find once you have had the procedure that portion size will decrease aswell. I am due for a fill at the end of January so waiting till next Friday to see if I lose anymore as I have been able to eat very small pieces of chicken and somesmall bite bits. So will see and then make a decision next Friday. So far lost 60.5 pounds so pleased. Hope you pre-op diet starts off well, I know most find it difficult to stick to. I also took milkthistle to help reduce the size of the liver. Have fun and enjoy. Claire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
