Depends on how long you've been out of it and your fitness levels. I only run about 30 min now, 4-5 times a week, but I should be doing an hour. It's pushing yourself out of the comfort zone.

Neisie you looked fab in those pictures looked like you had a fun time

Well done everyone on your weight losses you are all doing so well xx

Does the tea from holland and barratt have a dramatic or gentle effect (trying to be polite lol) as I'm on codeine for my fibromyalgia and it's causing me to get bunged up xxx

You can do this baked bean just remember your reasons why you went for the balloon and start being strict with yourself. Not easy I know but you can do this xxx

BB it's the first of the month. Draw a line and start afresh. I have 7 weeks left with my balloon so I'm going to make it count. Get rid of all your rubbish foods, replace them with what you know you should eat, drink tonic water when you're out ( people think it's a g&t so don't give you a hard time). The evenings are lighter so get out and walk. This is my plan so come join in xx

Hey kismet and woody thanks guys!!! I've been good today I'm focused off for lime n soda to have drinks in

There is a tea called slimatea available from holland & Barrett it is a mint tea with senna. Very mild but will get you going x

Went straight to Holland & Barrett this morning and bought the tea (and some probiotic fibre tablets). Didn't read the instructions to have the tea in the evening until after I drank a cup . Nevermind, it seems to have worked! Thank you Kismet!

How long after the insertion did you "top up"?

 

[Neisie]

How long after the insertion did you "top up"?

3 months which is normal per my Doc.

did you have to go back to we're you got it inserted and was it am extra cost? X

 

[Neisie]

Yes and yes. Though where I got it is about a 7 minute drive from my house.

do you mind me asking how much ?

 

[Neisie]

do you mind me asking how much ?

2,000 Dhs which is about $500. I wouldn't base your cost of refill on mine as things here are way more expensive than the rest of the world. Didn't your doctor provide costs of insertion, fill, and removal upon consultation?
