Hi Ginzeh

I havent exercised much at all yet... I was gonna start swimming as i am now at a weight wher ei last went and i know swimming costume fits me.
But.... as of yet i havent signed up ( i keep making excuses )

I have had a couple of weeks where i didnt lose weight, but at the moment am struggling with bingeing, have an overwhelming urge to binge eat and i know it will only make me sick.

How's it going? X

It has been 2 weeks (tomorrow) since my balloon. I am still feeling sicky.... It get's worse as the day goes on. I am trying to eat and drink as much as I am supposed to. But struggle some days, as I start to get indigestion and then do nothing but burp and even have hiccups at times! Lol.

I have lost 19lbs in the 2 weeks though, which I am over the moon with. Just wish I felt a bit better with it.

Did anyone else find it difficult driving? I start to feel quite queazy while driving. I have a 180 mile journey to do next week and not looking forward to it at all. xx

I hijacking this thread and wondered if anyone can help.

Had diarrhoea for 4 days and have now started being sick and am bringing up stuff I had 4 days since!! Not good got cramping on my left side and my gallstones have started playing up! Don't know whether this is the balloon or I'm just ill.

Anyone recommend what to do next.

Hi I have found that the more water you drink the less bad breath you get.

The food is staying in your stomach too long and causes the bad breath I have been advised to drink before and After eating and at least 3 litres per day! When I do this I don't get the bad breath.

Hope this helps (dietician recommendation)

Thanks!! I've had lots of water today and it's been much better

[suzy inhope]

Hey Suzy, strictly no fizzy drinks allowed im afraid! I miss coke already especially with vodka =(
Yeah I'm going to ask for a fill asap, I've not had any bad experiences since! Well smelly burps but like goofy said drink water I don't get heartburn or indigestion and don't take the tablet I'm meant. To either! Where are you having it done?

I've lost 5lbs..I've given up smoking too.


I went to my doctors and I said why aren't I loosing loads like other women who've had it and she explained cos I'm 14st it takes longer to lose, if you're bigger you lose weight faster but can put. It back on quick, loosing 1/2lb a week is healthiest way which I am =) x
