[becky3008]

Hi my names Becky I'm 42 struggled with my weight for nearly 20yrs tried all diets most successful was Cambridge diet where I lost 4 stone but put it all back on within 12 months so I have realised I need help to control how much I eat so have taken the decision to have a band fitted. I'm very nervous but excited at same time x

How long did you leave it until you starting picking up your son? I have a nearly 4 year old who still clambers all over me, she's going to be quite put out that she can't do that for a while!
I had to google what 11kg was That's brilliant!!! Well done, I bet you're chuffed to bits? Did you have mashed food?

Hi grumbletumble I left it 6 days untill actually picking him up it's so hard he is only 17mths old so couldn't understand I know they say no lifting for 6 weeks luckily for me I felt great after 5 days so just took it easy lifting only when necessary xx

Yeah, that must have been hard for both of you, they always want picking up at that age, how are you doing weight loss wise now? It's good to know you were feeling great after 5 days, how are you strength wise, are you feel a bit weak & wibbly?

Hi I feel like my normal self can't believe I had surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago but I was like that after my sections weight wise I have stayed the same for 10 days as on mashed up food they do expect you to put weight back on as soon as you start on mash u till you have your first fill but I have been watching my portion control & trying to stick to high protein foods xx
