Band to be fitted 27th June

[lclucy89]

Well for fills, you can either have it done over here by a private nurse or fly over there for a one day and the hospital do it.

How hard is it now to weigh yourself constantly?!?!!?

I couldnt resist and stepped on the scales last night.. It said 15st 13.. Surely that cant be right?!

Hi All!

Well my first week post op is over, scary to think that this time last week I was in Parague on my own in hospital! I must have been mad! Haha!

So start weight was 16st 7lb, and my weight today is 15sy 12lb! Thats -9lbs! I am so happy!

My first week has been ok, I get random hunger pains but not too bad. Im going to keep having mainly liquids, but soft food as an evening meal!

Hi Lucy
It's possibly head hunger
Be wise with your choices and portions
It will pay of in the end
I've being told it takes about 2 fills before
You feel restriction

I have drastically reduced my portion size, but I feel like I'm picking all day :/

I'm dreading Mondays weigh in

Well don't expect too much from your weigh in as it takes 2 -3 weeks for any loss they say
I'm also dreading weigh in as I know I haven't lost anything but it will start shifting soon as our bodies regain balance and fills start restriction
There's only 5 days in our bands so we will able to help each other

Hi Lucy
I know exactly how you feel I could eat a
Scabby horse!
I can actually eat the same as before the op and same amount if I wish to
I rangthe dietician he said this is normal as
It shows signs that you are healing well on the inside & until around your 2/3 fill it's all a case of willpower
Like you I thought it hadn't worked
I've also being struggling to eat the right
Amounts and right foods
Here's to my fill on the 28th of July boy I do I need it

I am very confused as Beautiful Bodies said I cant have my first fill until at least 3 months.. I thought it was around 6weeks?!

Hi Lucy, I had a letter from my provider a couple of days ago to say that my fill will be around 6 weeks after my op; although I believe it may be different with various providers. Why not contact your team and ask them tomorrow?
