WOW you have done really well "CONGRATULATIONS", i'm sure you will get your target no problem you have got a few weeks yet, how often are you having fills? i thought you only have them every few months, have you had double or single fills? just cant believe how much you have lost...that is really great x

Hi wishful woohoo im a lb down this morn so 6lb to go lol As for fills i had surgery the 5th september my first fill 5wks later i got 3mls then 4wks later i got 2mls and getting my 3rd fill now thursday you just keep going for fills until u reach restriction and dr chris comes to ireland every month but once u reach restriction u dont have to go as much just as u lose weight u might need a wee fill every now and again as the band wil losen cos of the weight loss but im very excited at thoughts of 4stone off for xmas id really love to get 4stone and a lb off lol just so il get into the next stone if that makes sence cos its the best feeling ever to get into a new stone and gives ur confidence a wee boost and makes u more determined to get into another stone so im hoping to have a few lbs off after next wkend as after the fill have to stay on liquids for 2days im getting saggy already and my boobs are heading south lol not a great thing for a 25yr old so think il have to get a wee nip and tuck here and there at the end lol

Hi Gillian the surgery programmes are usually on dmax on sky there usually on every night although there hasnt been that many recently, but they are really good and informative although they dont tell you about how hard it seems to be after the op it just shows the surgery and how they have done after. I just hope that i have the will power once the band has been fitted to not eat chocolate and sweets coz thats really where the weight comes from isnt it and even small amounts of sweets are still gonna add the calories and possibly put the weight back on, this is the thing i think im more worried about and you have paid all the money for it,

oh better go bed now lol so night night girlies xx:confused_smile:

Hi Gillian,

LOL!! You two are just too funny!! And I mean like "making milk come out of my nose" funny!! I remember someone wrote a while ago that they were having fun in their room and a nurse entered and told them to quiet down...Do I see a similar story coming up from you and wishfull?

You guys are going to do fine. Tammy

thanks for that info Tanya!..I shall scan through channels..do you know what prog is called?..I sympathise with your sweets and chocolate fetish!..Im the same..it happens at night..some invisible entity gets inside my body and walks to the cupboard, gets sweets out and forces it down my throat..its awfull!..Im gonna see if they can remove that demon at the same time as they do the band!...God I love chocolate. I have just got my final box of 48 wispas..I hope they take them back off the market soon, or ill be making wispa smoothies in jan!...no,no..I have got to be strong!..x

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
