Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris



Recommended Posts

Hi Gillian

I live at the bottom of Cornwall, Truro, so I don't imagine there is anyone near here! Thanks for looking for me.

The milk thistle tablets are 450mg capsules. You are supposed to take 3 a day, but I am taking one in the morning and one at night.

Great info on painlillers, dressings, clothes, shoes etc. keep it all coming for us pre-banders.

A friend was telling me Dr Chris was on TV over the weekend. He was doing stomach staples, but she can't remember what channel it was or what the programme was called. All she remembers was that it was Dr De Bruyne! Anyone see it?

Hey West, those Milk Thistle you have are great, what make are they?

I used to buy Holland Barrats own, but they were only 280mg and only one a day. Then I found stronger ones online from Healthy Direct but even they are only 380mg and again just one a day.

I think I'd like to buy the ones you have, great content.:unsure:

I think you have to give it your best shot and work around other occasions in your life. You will always have invitations to meals and drinks before and after the op. If you don't go silly and you try your best it will be OK. W x

Morning!

We've been thin on the ground over the last week or so. I hope everyone is OK!

I start on mushies today but had to have Pasta for lunch yesterday as I met my manager for lunch. It was well overcooked anyway but went down fine! Not expecting miracles as I've still only got 4 ml in a 7-9 ml band.

I'm glad the format is back to normal on here - yay!!

How's everyone doing today? x

BTW - I've got a monster bruise after my fill. Is this normal? It didn't really hurt so not that bothered but it did for 24 hours after. The first fill didn't hurt though, maybe she was just having a good look around!

Hi suefee, our flight time home was stupid o'clock in the morning.. it was hard going if im honest, i wasnt really in pain its just that i was so hot and felt faint, i asked for a wheel chair at the airport and then a porter took me and my partner straight through, didnt have to queue to check in or anything.. so if you dont feel to good ask for one, the staff at the airport were great x

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
