Hi Flirty. Well, I suppose your body made you slow down today. Take it easy and eat sensibly and often and you will be able to get back to your exercise - it's no good having a skinny body if its not healthy! Glad you had a confidence boost buying your clothes from a shop of your choice, that shows how far you've come. You take care now, bigsister x

Hi big sister and Gillian, I'm go glad everything is ok after your fill, did I understand that you did'nt eat before your fill, if so I did'nt know that you could'nt, you are so lucky having booked a second fill so quickly. I have to wait until the 27th March for my first fill which will make it 6 weeks post op, and then monthly or whenever its needed, or when I'm back home in the UK. I dont mind doing it slowely, my daughter has lost 4 stone over 18 months, with 3 fills, but she has no loose skin, or any medical issues, so I'm hoping to do it like her the only difference is that she does it at BUPA/SPIRE and has it done under XRAY with a rasberry flavoured barium, they watch the liquid go down as she is drinking the barium so that they can judge the rate and speed that she can eat and drink whilst they are giving her the fill and they adjust it accordingly. The cost is inclusive with the op price so she does'nt have to rush to get her fills within a given time limit.

The other bit of news is that when we were in Belgium my daughter did a pregnancy test and it was positive, so we went to see her band surgeon, and he has offered to see her and monitor her pregnancy and weight changes free of charge, and has included and unfills and refills if they should become necessary. so all in all she has had a good result.

Flirty Lass please take care of yourself I feel I want to bring you home here to me and look after you, I would ensure you eat your 5 a day and some protien and good carbs, please dont rush this weight loss process, you are putting your body at more risk through rapid weight loss. Ease up on yourself its not a race, if you dont you will get very ill and could have an enforced UNFILL, think carefully how that would affect you, and treat your body with care its the only one you get.

Sorry to get bossy but I have been very worried about you, and my mothering instincts have loosened my tongue. Ketosis is a symptom of body crises and not the only way to lose weight.

Hi Nanny mmm! Congratulations to you and your daughter - is it your first grandchild?

Me and gillian were about 6 and a half weeks post op when we got our fill yesterday. We were going to have to wait another 2 weeks for the clinic nearest us but decided to travel to Leeds cos we didn't want to wait that long. Can't feel any difference at all at the moment but still on liquids so will have to see once I get back on normal foods. I'm just soooo hungry tho - I could chew my arm off!

Best wishes to shoes and kaka's daughter for Friday, we will be thinking of you.

Hope you are ok Freckles and your Mum.

Dear Flirtylass,

Are you sure the dizziness and fainting isn't to do with that hunky man you've been hanging out with!

When I tried the lighter life diet my body went into ketosis too, and I think what Garry said is true, it's your body using fat for fuel.

Hi flirtylass im sure with you doing all this extra exercise you will be able too eat more and not worry x

You are quiter right wishful, the more exercise you do, the more energy you use the more calorie intake you are aloud. I found this on a calorie counter site, the more exercise the more calories!
