Ive got to take eldest for a trip to the dentist this afternoon to have her braces checked and other than that not alot Usual housework stuff.

Has anyone tried gastric band hypnosis? ive found an offer for 2 treatments and im wondering if anyone has had any experiances of this atall ?
 
i had hypnosis for weight loss.....i gained! haha....blooming expensive waste of time. if i hadnt done paul mckenna i might have done better but i sat there thinking...oh this is no dofferent to the book!! and tbh i was so tired im sure i just fell asleep when she put me 'under'

have heard of ppl doing fab on band hypnosis though
 
Thanks magic .... I'm gonna see if I an find anything using google and YouTube... I feel like I'd have my jaw wired at the moment if it was cheaper than banding ....

Hi all, was wondering if i could get some advice. Its three weeks today from my operation and i was starting to feel better until Monday... I was lying in bed and turned over too quickly and felt a big tug inside me and instantly got really bad stabbing pains and couldnt move for about 15minutes and then it eased off but ever since ive been getting these stabbing pains periodically just bellow where my port is... The pain seems to start for no reason and knocks my breath away. Im slightly worried ive done something or is this normal? Thanks :)
 
Hi Jiggly xxx You are pretty early days out of your op so it is still going to be ultra tender round your port area as I think most are stitched to your chest muscles.

I think if you had done anything serious to it the pain would be constant and unbearable.
However, we always say safe better than sorry, so I would call your provider team tomorrow and just run it past them. If anything, to just reassure you so you aren't worrying about it.

I still get pains from my port if I lay on my side for too long and I am well out of surgery now x

Let us know how you get on with the call and stick around anyway to let us support you more x
 
Thanks! I will give them a ring tomorrow and let you know. Was just slightly worried as I seemed to be recovering really well until that happened! My own fault for being an energetic sleeper :)
 
Honestly, never be afraid to ring them and get reassurance about anything pain wise etc. Your team are there to help you get success from your op and it's so much better to have your mind put at rest than try and struggle on and worry yourself sillyxxx

Hope you feel much more comfortable soon. It sounds like you have been OK apart from this so I hope you'll keep us updated on how you're doing.

We have some lovely new banders around your stage in the process so why not join the food log and weekly weigh in (well all of it! ) and we can keep you going x
 
Morning all. I am off into the office today:(.

Well after all the drama of my microwave fire my neighbour across the way set her kitchen on fire yesterday and we ended up having to be evacuated. The smoke was terrible so having got rid of the smoke from mine I now have to get rid of the smoke from my neighbours fire. Still we all got out alive - although the smoke was choking. My chest is in a terrible state today.

I had a bit of a to do with Ming Ellen yesterday. We had an exchange of email and my last one to her included that I was tired of being undermined by her:eek:. Don't know what came over me:D. I am sure she will make me pay for that.

Anyway...it looks like the weather is going to be nice today:cool:.

Have a blessed day everyone.

tranquil x
 
Oh no TB hope your neighbour is ok, they say it comes in 3s but I hope in thus case 2s suffisiont (sp) ...
Weather looks like it's gonna spoil us again today.......
More washing to catch up on lol xxxx
 
It's stopped raining :) and I've got the day off :) and Charlie is away until 4 so I've got it to myself :) and Richard comes home tonight :) it's looking good so far

TB I hope the smoke damage isn't too much, is your neighbour ok?

I recently starting wearing my engagement and wedding rings again, first time in 5 years, it's a great feeling.

for some reason I am desperate to get weighed this week??!! WI is tomorrow and I know today would be a false weight so I'm keeping away from those scales, but it's hard.

Have a lovely day xx
 
Sarah im mega jealous! cant wait to get my bling bling back on my fingers again! and also my watch strap is on outter catch and with the heat it gets even more sweaty and yucky so would be nicer to get thinner wrists again!!

this band cant come fast enough but im a bit worried that u need to recover properly. thought ud be back to normal in terms of pain and tenderness in a a few days!! my provider kept saying...oh ppl are back to work in a few days! oh no...kids are home on easter hols.... so hope its not too bad!!
 
hahahaha!! love that happy dance! cheered me right up....just read tam's diary and im kinda scared...its a much bigger op then i though..sounds stupid doesnt it...i mean i came into this wanting a balloon and was told...meh a band is as safe as a balloon.... and i dont know why im so panicky now.... but reading that made it 'real' which is mad as this morning i was hyper that i would be baded next week....

im going bananas!!
 
thanks i hope so...ooh to be a yummy mummy would be divine!!
 
hehe
