Oh soooo glad you posted...solids yay! I'm on them tomorrow for sure. I had thought I might wait till next Wednesday but if it's ok at 5 weeks I'm good to go!

No worries about your fill..it's a breeze. Xx

I think just be careful and listen as be a big adjustment for your body! :)

Excited about my fill!! Xx
 
Oops I never weighed myself this morning as had painters coming a day early so was running around like a mad woman!! Think may wait till next Thursday since that was last time and hopefully the scales will be great!

Oh got took out for a thank you lunch with some of managers as we are all getting split up and moved around..was yet again scared but had 3 small pieces of chicken and lettuce well chewed and about 10 pieces of penne pasta with a little marinara sauce so that done me for today and tonight just gonna have babybell as still not hungry! But sad day as love everyone work with but still see them just not on day day basis!

Hope everyone is doing good, my painting is halfway done just having them out tomorrow morning and it will be finished (and my wages spent lol)

Xxx
 
Oh get you! I have no idea how many steps i do...
Glad things are going well Sharon.
My new little stomach doesnt seem to take much, today I struggled with 80g of fish, struggled with 100 ml of slimfast and could barely even face 150ml of Ww soup!! At least the op worked!!
Its weird though, i still smell foods and think oh i would love some of that, but then i have no appetite and the physical thought of eating it doesn't even exist..weird.

It will be your fill soon. I wonder how that will be for you..

Thanks Karina!

It takes some getting used to for sure!! I know sometimes when I'm eating I say oh that doesn't look like much, but I cant finish so guess it's doing its job thankfully!!

I'm hoping to eat less although I'm always under 1000 Cals, but don't often feel hungry!! Xx
 
Karina. I'm the opposite from you and Sharon. I can eat for Britain. I am away for the weekend. It is too easy to graze. I have had a few glasses of wine over the weekend and been grazing on oeanuts and hula hoops :-(

For meal sizes I can eat a surprising amount with no pain or discomfort. I think I am going to go for another fill.

Last night I had, for the second time this weekend, half a portion of vegetable chowmein. I have the thread noodles, which I'm not supposed to as I am celiac, and they slide down very easily. But I could eat a lot more than the half portion!!!! I have just had the other half portion for breakfast. We are having a roast dinner today for lunch. Not too sure how roast beef will go down. I will be careful. Our friend is doing lunch.

I am gobsmacked at the amount I can actually eat...really frightening

I am dreading going on the scales when I go home. But tomorrow I am starting a very low carb diet now I am on solids. I am hoping and praying I can tolerate salads

So hopefully my gain. If I have one, which I think I will, will only be a pound or two and I can get that off in a few days and get back on track

So it's back to being very strict and learning from this weekend. Wine is a diet killer, not because of the calories in the wine...but because it weakens my resolve and I nibble constantly. I was eating more of the nibbles than anyone else in the company!!!!! And I'm the one with a band

I'm now terrified that I am one of those folks that will only loss half my excess weight :-( really in a panic here

But really glad you girls are going great guns....funny how we are all getting on differently x
 
Kirsty, im sure when you hit the spot on your band things will change, i dont drink so dont know much about wine, my issue was always the quantity of food and binge eating, thats been well stopped.
I think my surgeon decided to have a bit of a laugh and take away a right good chunk of stomach so all i could live on was chocolate milk!! Thats fine by me as i love it!!
I move on to solid food in a few weeks, i have no idea how im going to get that down..Friday night i ate some baked beans that werent blended very well...of god did i suffer with feeling sick and in pain after that..and that was beans!
I was at work until midnight so i havent had breakfast yet, its going to be yoghurt..just gearing myself up for it!

I hope you are having a good weekend kirsty, i dont have any suggestions about the nibbles, i guess thats a will power thing but thats something we lack or we wouldnt have had a weight problem!!
 
Kirsty try upping your protein instead of snacking on hula hoops maybe get in a pack of snack meatballs or cocktail sausages even have a high protein yoghurt. The protein boost will help to keep your hunger at bay. Also try not to eat things that are gonna slide straight through. Eat solid protein you will probably find that helps x enjoy your hols x
 
Do you like fish in parsley sauce kirsty? I know that fills me to the brim, god i never though a tiny piece of fish would leave me feeling like i had just eaten xmas dinner..20g of protein too!
 
Well im 10st 7 today!! Yyaayyy.
Its fish in sauce for lunch, danio yoghurt for tea...its all go!
We are going to blackpool for the night tomorrow to see the illuminations, the great thing about the sleeve is no doughnuts, no candy floss and no food!! Im substituting this with some gambling instead!!! Just like Vegas...
 
Karina.....I could eat 4 of them..lol...nightmare :-(

Today I have eaten 1200 calories but burned off loads with swimming and walking and MFP tells me I could eat another 200+ ( which I won't). I have got back on track today...but I am hungry, hungry, hungry

I think I will contact my provider for another fill

Meantime I am going ultra law carb to try to control my hunger
