took family out for a chinese meal last night (wifes birthday) I tried some dim sum and they were yum, small bits and chewedd the hell out of them before swallowing and all went well. I then ahd singapore rice, I had 2 small spoonfulls and was stuffed, my wife and little girl had to eat it as I ached, I think thats the first time I have over done it.

But end result is dim sum yum but cant eat any more than 4.

Wow, this thread gives me hope for not only the weight loss but the possibility of not being completely miserable food wise for the rest of my life.

I really enjoy chinese, especially singapore rice lol. Sounds like u coped well with it and didn't go to town. Hope I can be the same.

Your weigh loss is amazing and in the time you've managed it so far I think your target sounds really possible, although I don't know your height/bmi you certain seem a success story and I can't wait to see Dr Chris next month.

Hi Keving...

was your band filled when you had it put in? Your are doing really well and seem to fill up on tiny amounts.. I was banded on 20th of june and have lost about a stone now but do get hungry and would be able to eat far bigger portions than you do.... I too had some chinese at the weekend... I had a prawn chow mein.. i ate the noodles etc but left the prawns... well I chewed one to death and then decided that just the noodles would do... but I did manage about 2/3 rds of the portion! Roll on my first fill I suppose..

been away for a couple of days, whilst away went out for a meal and just about managed to eat half a small baked potato and half a chicken breast, with glass of red wine, felt like a right blooter after.

came home this afternoon and weighed 17st 7lbs. so well happy.

You had wine?? I have been wondering how long after surgery is it okay to have a glass of wine?

You´re doing a great job Kevin!! Keep it up!

I can´t wait to get home tomorrow night and see if I have lost anything this week.

Had my band done on 7th july and on the 23rd had lost 25lb feel fantastic, have had trouble digesting some foods though, no meat whatsoever, i had terrible trapped wind in the back and shoulder to the point of nearly crying with the pain, i soon learned which foods to eat and which not to, also found eating smaller portions but 4 times a day instead of 3 meals a day has helped.

Have booked for a fill on aug 6th but things are going that well i might cancel it until sept any advice pls would be gratefull

Kev your post have kept me going thanks

Kevin this is a great achievement i am so pleased for you...

Do you think you have done this mostly through diet or through the band itself.

I cant wait to get to the stage of feelin restricted...

      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.
