Gastric Balloon Any ballooners out there? Support needed!

[kismet68]

Nope. Not being careful on any days, that's the problem. Haven't tracked my food in over a week. Eating total crap in mass quantities. Dying from the bloated belly, farts, and burps... But can't seem to stop stuffing my mouth. My old ways have come back with a vengeance.

How odd my week has been exactly the same! Have got rid of all the naughty stuff out of my house and I'm trying soooo hard to be good. Sick of burps, the smell and taste is disgusting and was very sick this morning, first time in ages. Time to regroup and get back on that wagon.

Did u have it with Nosc? If so get that book out you gave to fill in and read the very beginning with the reasons why having balloon in right at the start. It helped me to look back at that book n see how I felt n stuff

No idea what Nosc is so I'm assuming no. I've gained a few lbs, and I'm quite angry with myself. Have plans tonight and tomorrow and then Saturday I need to draw a line in the sand and put a lid on it. I tend to overdo it in all aspects of my life, and controlling food and booze, especially in the land of excess, isn't easy. Tonight I'm going to be very aware of my food and stick to vodka instead of wine. I just need a swift kick up the a$$. Any volunteers?

Agreed. It's those bad habits that kept me feeling safe in my blanket of fat for so long. My trainer was sick last week, and paired with my friend visiting, I went hog wild. I got the balloon to teach me new habits and I'm pissed that after 5 months, my old habits die hard. I always get soooo close, but never fully there. Must get back on the wagon and make these burps go away!

Hi becci,

This happened to me at around week 2-3. Felt awful, uncomfortable and sick. I managed over the weeks to pin down what foods were making me feel like it. Bread, pasta, bananas, red peppers and tomatoes did it for me, still nearly 4 months in I can only eat a little of these foods or I pay big time.

Okay ThAnkyou ! I think fizzy drinks (im an ascot and I have cut down big time) but these aren't agreeing with me and red onions I think may be causing heart burn ! I have quite bad gas ! Burps ! How do you stop the smelly burps ? !

 

[becci455]

*addict not ascot!

They are the pits. Usually happens when food stick to balloon and ferment. Make sure you drink something about 15 minutes after you've eaten. I swear by slimline tonic water. My consultant suggests squeezing a fresh lemon and/or lime into it as the citric acid cleans balloon and reducers smelly burps

 

[becci455]

Ooh that's a good idea !! ThAnkyou I will get some slim line tonic and lemon tomorrow !

 

[bakedbean]

The balloon needs cleaning so flat diet coke and get charcoal tablets they really work. Fizzy drinks really bad with the balloon so try drink it flat if you need to drink it or cut it out ( think of your teeth lol) charcoal tabs really good though

Was feeling down in the dumps but better now. Didn't eat too much last night, have lost most of the weight (probably water retention) that I put on, and even though I thought it wouldn't fit I slipped on a new size UK14 dress and it fits like a dream! Little hiccup, not to be repeated!

Looking fab neisie

 

[becci455]

Yea need to think of my teeth ! Okay I got slim line tonic but il leave the lid off for a bit before I drink it. Thanks for the advice x

 

[kismet68]

Looking amazing neisie. So proud of you x

 

[bakedbean]

You look fab Nessie! I'm on 500 day today it's getting easier. I've bought a dress for wedding in may n it's a tad tight so that's the goal!

 

[Neisie]

Thanks, everyone! My friend's mum is in from the UK for her yearly visit and she immediately remarked on how much weight I've lost, and that I'm no longer blonde Back at it full-time with my trainer starting tomorrow. Hoping to lose 5lbs by the end of the month as we've got the Dubai World Cup and I want to look fab!

Hubby was away golfing in AD with his buddies this weekend and he's feeling gross from over-indulging so I'll have a live in diet buddy for a week or two!

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves and the weekend!

Baked Bean,

I've started a 5:2 Daily Food Diary in the Diaries section. I'm going to post my daily intake there. Would you like to join me? Thought it'll help me stay motivated. I'm fasting today, tomorrow, and Weds this week.
