Hello, I'm just being nosey really and wanted to find out how everyone is getting on and their weight loss so far? Where did you get your band fitted?
I had my band on 14th April and I've lost about a stone and a half so far and thoroughly enjoying the whole process x x
I was banded end of Novermber last year by Mr Super through Healthier Weight. Ive lost over 4 and a half stone now and am very happy with the way I am at moment. I need probably to lose another half a stone to be honest but think its the best thing ive ever done. Fell great, loads of energy and have my life back on track!
Hi All,
I was banded at end of May at Musgrove, Taunton under the research team. All good surgery wise and recovery, had monthly band fills with my last one on Mon (4th so far) had 8ml so far (4ml, 2ml, 1ml,1ml). My weight has stayed the same for the last 3months mainly because I have had virtually no feed back...but early days but since Mon definitely felt less like eating so much, really working on my 20-20-20 (food size 20p, chew 20x, eat no longer than 20mins). No regurgitaion, pain, wind, indegestion, nothing but just not seeking so much food. Hope this means I am nearing the green zone and real weight loss (22lb I lost pre-op and in first month seems a long time ago). Got Misfit this month and am feeling more mobile and increasing exercise with extra walking.
Wow that's fantastic! I can't wait to get to my weight goal! X
22lbs is great! I can't wait for the green zone either x
Hi ladies
Wow your all doing so well, I start my pre op diet Monday ready for surgery 5th October to be honest I'm excited about getting my band but really dreading doing the pre op I'm also a smoker and have been told I have to stop this Monday, I know it will all be worth it but I have terrible will power.
What pre op diet are you doing Anna? Liquids or solids? X
The doctor said I can do 1000 calories per day but I have chosen to do the exantidiet with the milkshakes as I know I'll stick to that better. X
Hi alicia how you getting on? I'm now on day 4 on my VLCD it's going ok but feeling very bloated and a dicky tummy today but not as hungry as I thought I would be x
Hi Anna
I have my op booked in for 9th Oct with THG. Im currently half way thro my liquid diet and have found it really hard! I also was a smoker of 20 a day and have given that up cold turkey too, been 9 days now smoke free :o)
Hi Tara
Well done on your journey so far I feel your pain I'm on day 11 of my pre op and also no smoking it's been really tough but as it goes on its getting easier x
remember its the start of the new you and worth it! The pre diet is to shrink your liver so its not in the way when they do the surgery so well worth keeping to x if you get hungry have an actimel or fat free yoghurt to see you through x
Thanks hun to be honest iv gone past the hunger stage now I'm doing ok only three days to go x
Awsome - 11 days, well done hunnie!
The smoking doesnt seem to be bothering me much, its the no food hehe I know I have to keep the focus and it will be worth it. x
Hi,
I was told its strictly 3 pints of milk and 2 activia yoghurts. Nothing else to pass my lips other then sugar free squash, water or diet coke... x
It will soon be here x Remember to get windeze in or something you can take for wind. and swing those arms. the wind can be a pain the first week or two x I can remember being at home a few days after thinking what have I done! but it does get better and well worth it. I look back now and cant remember how bad it was! bit like childbirth!! xx
Just on my way home from my band fill, I've been given the good news that I've lost 30% of my excess body weight, my BMI has dropped and I've gone down a level on the obesity scale! Wohoo! X
Fantastic hun bet your feeling loads better x
