Hi pearce i just tried to vary the Soups i had plus i has ready made protien drinks which were also good.Thier is not alot more you can have when your on the liquid stage.

Hi i stuck to a high protien type diet like the Atkins once i came off the liquids and mushes which worked for me.I ate chicken with everthing and it helped me loose the weight quicker.As for the fills i was one of the unlucky ones who needed loads of fills i think it was 8 fills to get to decent restriction. Everyone is diffrent but most get restriction after about 3 fills.

hi to all the newbies there are loads and rosie cheek's im glad you have started posting good luck hun and to all the one going to get banded not too long now sher,by the way i have put weight on the food is crap here it very hard to find somthing nice to eat lol,so he will have to take me as i am the nerves are kicking in i cant sleep im so worried not about the op just the needles im terrible lol i need gas and air to get my needles done,thanks for all your nice comments,freckles,gary and bobo and everyone else be back on soon to tell all the gossip:thumbup:

Theirs no need to worry slinky you will be fine you are in great hands with Dr Chris,I think everyone has the same nerves before the op so your no different there.

You just have to think positive it will be worth getting the needles done if you loose the weight.In a year to come when you have lost all the weight you will think what was i worrying about.

So think positive and you will be fine.Good luck for the op on Tue and to the others that have theirs coming up soon.

Hi there I am a Dr Chris De Bryune virgin and am scheduled to have an op 3/9/10. Sooo freaking out with excitement and nerves!

So eveyone on here has met the Dr DBC? It's reassuring to read you've all been so happy with him as you read so much depressing stuff about suregery abroad...

Can anyone tell me where are the refills are carried out ? I live near York/ North East; where is closest for me? Also does it hurt when you have it done and where is the porthole so to speak?

So inspiring to read your big losses! Is it fair to say the biggest loss is after your 3rd to 4th refill? x:blink:

Hi,

I have been reading through all the pages for over a week now and have just plucked up th courage to post.

I am booked with Dr Chris for the 4th August, so just over a week to go now.

All the information on here has been really helpful, like what to take, what to eat before and the fact that nearly everyone thinks that they will be the only one it won't work for lol.

So I just wanted to really say a big thatnks to everyone who has taken the time to post advice.

Just one question really, I am going to Belgium on my own, as other half can't get the time off work, I have a pretty high pain threashold and am planning to drive to airport and leave the car there to drive back home after, does anyone think this will be a problem?

hello, i think the fills are in london and manchester the nearest to you, it says then all on the europesurgery website. i have heard dr chris is a brillant surgeon and i am going to him because my friend has had surgery with him already. i don't think you should worry about it being abroad beligum is the center for finance for europe its a very advanced country, we brits like to think britain is the best at everything and its just not true:wink2:

Hi Pearce

I had my last supper in the hotel the night before hand, 3 course meal, bottle of wine and several large G & T's - doctors orders surprisingly.

I had very thin Soup and crisp bakes (you will get some in hospital and will know what I mean), I lived on them for days and gradually moved onto thicker Soups, rice pudding/custard, ready brek. its strange but you seem to know what your body can cope with fairly quickly.

I am going for my 3rd fill this week and hope to take a step closer to my sweet spot - I have lost 2 stone so far and although slow I am delighted with it - better to come off gradually I think

Do you have a pound shop or similar near you?? If so they sell pre-packed Bovril, chocolate, coffee and I took a pack of each with me and found them to be very settling and tasty.

You will be absolutely fine and the care is fantastic.

Good luck and if you need to know anything then give me a shout
