Hi angie

Yeah thats the hotel name b/fast isnt included in price but its available i think maybe €10 or they can get it at the hospital frederik said its just so people have a choice where to eat and when they want to and yes someone waits for u in arrivals to take u where to ur hotel it saves the hassle of trying to find where ur going

Hi i was reading on here bout people looking for and taking chewable or liquid multi Vitamins but they aint as good as ur normal multi Vitamin the ones i have are specially for skin hair and nails so i took it into my head bout crushing them and taking them on a spoon of yoghurt i asked the pharmist would it be ok and she said yeah its a great idea and u can get the pill crusher in a chemist it was only €4 the Vitamins are perfectal skin,hair and nails they also are a multi Vitamin as they have evrything in them and i got a tonic called metatone it helps after illness and just to prevent being tired and run down chemist said its good and no harm to take

Hi you have to pay the deposit through ur bank u need all the info of his bank name, address and his company name, address also the account number the bank give u a form to fill out im sure it should be the same the north as here... Frederik just mailed me there are no trebble rooms left so i have to get 2rooms now so im now paying €4250 or he could of offered me another hotel at the same price i was paying first but i think the campanile has a better location and alot iv been talking to stayed in it and liked it

Hi Ursula!!

sorry i.m only getting back now! been busy running teenagers all over the country ! lol!!

Frederik has agreed to let me pay the 400 euro at the consultation in Dublin! so this a lot less hassle!

can't believe i am getting this done! It has all happened so fast!! i was out shopping for clothes today with my daughter and seeing all the pretty 'little' clothes made me feel more determined to go through with this and made me realise that it's definately the right decision!!

Also i saw my back 'view' in the mirrors of Evans!!! Am i really that big?????????!!!

Oh i know what u mean by the mirrors in evans haha im not going to buy any new clothes id like to hold out till xmas all i plan buying between now an then is tracksuits i love them and even if they get baggy its ok to wear them like that i cant stop thinking about what il look like and what il wear its so so exciting i havnt cut dwn smoking yet either it has to be the worst time to cut down with nerves and all...

Don't worry too much about the pre op diet !! you will be fine!! you still have plenty of time to get started! no point beating yourself up over it!!! and anyway Dr Chris didn't stipulate a set diet! just said low fat so you don't need to be too extreme!

I know what you mean about the cigarettes!!!!!!! funny thing is it was my blood pressure that triggered this whole thing off a couple of weeks ago!! it was so high that my medication had to be instantly upped and i have had to attend my doctor every 2 days for checks etc! i was so shocked at the time that i gave the fags up the very next day! and will now be off them 2 weeks tomorrow!!

It was my doctor who suggested the band cos losing the weight would help with my health problems! i hadn't even considered it til then lol!! Knowing that i am going to get this done in the next 4 weeks has given me determination to kick the cigarettes once and for all, and my doctor said that i should look on the positive side! at least i don't have to worry about putting on weight by giving up!!!!

Don't want to buy many clothes either! but going back to college just before my operation and need a couple of things to tide me over til i thinner!! I am lucky though! i kept all my "thinner' clothes from the last time i lost weight! so i have plenty of size 16 and 18s which will hopefully fit me by christmas!!

When do you intend to go down for your first fill? i think his next time here is around the 11th of October or so? this will be too soon for my first fill, which means i will have to wait til November!! that will be about 6 weeks!!!! OH well! nothing i can do about that!

Have you ever used the chat room on this site?

Oh by the way! my msn is angiecurran70@hotmail.co.uk

hang in there!! not too long now!

      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.
