nothing yet in the job front! classroom assistants are usually needed in september so i need something else in the mean time. i do ann summer parties at the weekends so thankfully thats going well
. you are doing real well too, congratulations on more weight loss, when is your first fill?
well guys i am pleased to say i have 4lb off this week. thats a total of 23lb. i am delighted. i have walked plenty and still counting my calories, bread is nearly nil in my diet, eating crispbakes instead. walking about 3-4 mile a day, have a walking partner which makes it all alot easier. looking forward to my fill in 2 weeks time. going to liverpool next sunday for a few days so looking forward to that.
one question.... i am still getting pains in my left side. its not my wound as they have all healed nicely. sometimes i cannot even bend without a sharp piercing pain in my side. any suggestions what that might be?

Maura, that fabulous progress!! No idea wot the pain might be though - maybe they'll discuss it with you when you get your fill. Hope it all goes well. Xo
hi guys sorry havent been on for a while. I am just back from liverpool and had a great time. i had my first fill today. i was given 3ml. i just hope that it gives me some restriction.
gettin the fill didnt hurt too much. the consultant was lovely and he found my port quite easily. it just takes about 10 minutes for the whole appointment. i was then given a glass of water and told to sip slowly. i thought i couldnt swallow it properly as i felt it sitting on back of my throat. i was gulping slightly,. but when consultant seen how much i had drank he explained i had taken it too quickly and after a few minutes i was fine and finished the water more slower.
i just hope i will now have more restriction, fingers crossed

well guys i am so happy. today i got weighed and i have 2lb off... this is great because now i am into the 15's on the weighing scales. I feel so happy. people are starting to notice my weight loss, and family and friends are telling me i look great. I am just not used to compliments but i have to say i love them and could get used to this malarky... lol
i am walking plenty and feel more active. i dont feel much pain in my side any more, maybe a little ping every now and then.
so i got my first fill on thursday and back onto food today... worried cause still feel no restriction. i got 3 mls and am just wondering how long does it take to feel restriction. i assumed it was immediate but hopefully someone can reassure me that i will feel restriction in a few days time....
anyway i am still happy being a bandette.
hope you are all well and losing xx

Hi Maura,
I got my first fill on Wednesday and don't feel any restriction either, have just been living off will power since the week after my op and was really hoping this fill would help, but i don't think it is enough
, do you still feel the same today?i am the same loopy, got my fill on thursday and there is no restriction. they are closed for july so cant get another fill till august. will be asking to check that 3 mls went in!Hi Maura,

are u still losing loopy? i am but, likeyou, its will power.
:sigh:
hi jaynie the 25 lbs include my pre op diet xx i have no restriction so i have just cut down on food. my portions are smaller, but thats through my own choice nothing to do with the band. i know the band isnt a miracle worker but jeez a little restriction would be a little helpful. i am walking plenty :sigh: h
how are you getting on
i have noticed not much change in my weight in a fortnight. i had my first fill 2 weeks ago and i think i was filled with fresh air lol. so i have now booked for my 2nd fill for thur 7th july. thats only 3 weeks from my first one, but i have been informed if i feel no restriction i can get another fill, of course more money to spend. £90 each time. this time because the consultant wont be in the north (till August) i have to travel 100 miles to get a fill in Dublin
anyway fingers crossed i will feel some restriction. i had 3ml last time.
