Hi Nicola
Good luck for Tuesday!!!
You will be grand!
Get some nas, jelly! A great way to get something light into u!!! Some peppermint tea and yogurts!
I was not great for a week but it was mostly setteling pains! Although I took no pain killers or anything!!! I can only feel the balloon every now and then! Feels like I'm getting a kick from a baby inside!!
Make sure after the surgery that u don't push the fluids at all!!! Tiny sips!!!

I don't feel sick with any foods only water!!! But I do drink 3-4leiters!
Oh in the beginning doing exercise yea I felt a bit off!!! Now I'm up to jogging on the treadmill for ten mins and I get a stitch after the first minute and it lasts the whole day! I just put up with it!! No pain no gain!!!!

Can u try peppermint tea? I couldn't manage it!!! But it's suposed to be anti inflamatorie as far as I know.
Don't stress over it!!! And don't push the fluids too much! U will be fine!
Rest is so important. Might need an extra pillow

I'm pushing through!

Hi folks sorry not been in over past few days. Cb4 congrats on the size 14's well done you .
And hi to you baked bean.. Congrats on getting your balloon. In a few days you will not know its there. Just remember once you feel better that the ballon is a tool designed to help you lose weight so sensible eating (portion control, lean protein, low fat and low carbs). Learn to recognise the signs of approaching fullness and stop. Don't force more in or you will stretch your stomach.. and we want to avoid this. Not sure I would be taking dextrose tabs though as these are still pure sugar and to be honest personally I would avoid. More so if you are inclined to have a sweet tooth. You really want to break that chain. Good luck for your weight loss journey hun x
