Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

[sarapaisley 1]

Thanks Girls

For your advice I cant tell u what it means to me to have u all out there.After reading all your posts i have woke up this morning with some hope and i am going to take all your advice on board.I think there is a lot of sense in what claire was saying about me and other people expecting me to have lost more weight by now. Also i cant tell my friends ect... how i was feeling as i felt as if ive failed.Do u remember how we all felt when we got the band full of enthusiasm and hope and plans....... i seemed to have lost that somewhere in the last couple of weeks.So the plan is today to enjoy my day dont think about it.Start afresh tomorrow take a note of weight and inches and go see Dr Chris.

Many thanks again

Scooby doo my apt is at 2 oclock might see you there.

Hello all

Hope everyone is well?

SarahP how did you get on at your appointment? How are you feeling?

I had a lovely chilled morning one of my yoga mummies popped in to see me and to share a cuppa. It was lovely. I went to the hairdressers and went for the chop! Just can't decide on a colour now but will by the end of the weekend.

Best bit I decided to be brave and try on tousers in M&S, New Look and H&M. I couldn't quite believe it but I can get in a size 12. That feels AMAZING!

Anyway thought I would just post,hope all are ok.

Take care and stay positive.

Hi girls

Went to see Dr Chris today I told him about not having any restriction i was supposed to have 6.5mls in my band (had a roll and sausage for b/fast before i went) with no problems.He took out what i had in my band and put 1ml extra in.I am a bit confused becouse he said he could get only 5.5 out but sometimes that happens, but if i can eat bread ect then he thinks i might have a leek.I sat in the waiting room took a drink it went down no problem then went back in where he put another 1ml and checked what was in band apparently from what i can gather they cant get all of liquid back out but he said he could feel pressure and i think he got most of it out so i have to give it a couple of days and see if i can still eat the same then i have to e/mail freddie and go back to brussels and get it fixed.The big question is do i have restriction im not sure i had shepards pie for tea and it went down ok( i know your supposed to do liq for 24hrs but needed to know,however pie was very soft and mushy) Im a bit scared to try bread becouse if i can eat it then i guess i have a leek.Some people say that restriction dosent kick in for a couple of days and i do feel a bit of a diffrence but not on the same level as other bandsters considering i have got 8.5mls in although Dr Chris says i have 8.5mls in on paper so i think he means that some has leeked out or not put in properly.

On a good note apparently i lost 4 pounds this month but i know thats becouse of will power and not the band.

A big well done claire im so pleased for you.You look amazing you should change your name to yummy mummy now.You are not only a great roll model for us but your always there to give us honest and sensible advice and support .

I saw scoobydoo at the clinic today she is looking really well.If you are reading this scooby im glad u were there when i came back out as i thought i was going to burst out crying (im a soft git) oh and i hope you never got a ticket.

Have had a lovely day and feeling so positive with myself. Yes I can have down days like everyone on here but I had a lovely yoga class this morning and then baby massage and it makes me realise that we are so lucky in the people we meet and become friends with and have the priviledge to talk to and listen to. I feel particulalrly honoured as it's quite intimate what some people share with me in terms of how they gave birth etc

Everyone seems to be dieting around me and I bump into people and they say what they are doing Dr Dukan, weight watchers etc and I am so pleased for them and don't want to say how much I have lost so that they think their loss is insignificant when it's not. So I keep being really positive with them all. Brushing mine off as if it's nothing.

Anyway I weighed today as is the traditional activity of an early Friday monring and had lost 3 pounds and 2 inches. I still can't quite believe that it's going and still have this image in my head of me really big! I have bumped into a few of my mummies and they are like "your disappearing", one even did a double take and then realised who it was.

So I am sat enjoying a lovely glass of rose and had a small amount of couscous earlier which seemed to decide to stay. I am trying to make a concious effort to focus on eating more but struggling due to the restriction even Soup whch is very thick is having a difficult time, although I am managing cuppa soup. Takes a while to get it down though!

One more week in school and then half term, but 270 exam papers to mark! Not fun! But all part and parcel of what we do. Really looking forward to half term and going away. Hoping the weather stays nice but even if it doesn't I shall take my lap top and focus on the small projects I have to do to promote my Birthlight pregnancy yoga classes etc.

Sorry for rambling. Hope all ok. Take care and be back soon.

All for now

ticker test

Hey Guys

Went to Dr Chris in Edinburgh on Thursday and he gave me a very small fill of 0.5ml which by my calculations means I now have 7.25 in my band and I have got some decent restriction this time.

Since Thursday I have managed a yoghurt (few spoonfuls at a time), tried some mash potato - not a chance. This morning I made a soft poached egg, managed 1/2 but clearly didn't go down to well as made me slime a lot and back up it came - not pretty...

Later this afternoon I had an Ainsley Harriot cup-a-soup which took quite a while but got it down and it stayed down. Weighed myself this morning and I have lost 2 lbs since Thursday already - WOO HOO - really hoping this is gonna be the one for me.

Sara P it was lovely to see you again, hope you are doing ok. Have you got any restriction yet? Are you noticing any difference in what your able to eat? One word of advise is that you have to try and make sensible food choices and go for healthier options that are gonna fill you quicker then as restriction kicks in your portion sizes will reduce also.

I have been hill walking again this weekend - loving it. 4/5 hour walks every day - god this time last year I couldn't walk to the shops without being out of breath

Hope everyone is doing well

Congrats Scooby Do,

Having restriction makes all the difference, my fitness has also increased. I was always out of breath and suffered from constant heart burn, but that's all changed now and my fitness levels have improved.
