My Post OP (Band) Journey 2014 onwards

[kurstywursty]

My pre op was a very low carb diet. Not much to play about with I'm afraid. Meat, fish, chicken, leafy salad, green veg lol. But that is so much better than the liquid diet. You will get thorough it ok and it gets better as the time goes on

Good luck for your op....keep us updated x

Hi Sharon I am a newbie to this site, I am booked in for my band with Mr Halstead on Nov 30th at Dolan Park. I too have always been on diets throughout my life but developed an under active thyroid which wasn't detected for 2 years, which led to my 5 stone weight gain. I went for consultation 30th October in Glasgow and decided after reading posts on this site to go for the op. I am on day five of my pre op diet and looking for advice as I am sick of the same food . I am glad to hear you are doing ok after op.

Hi!!!

Great to have another Bander on board!!!

That's shame about the thyroid but at least it's been detected now!!

You will do fantastic, as prob read its a tool for a healthier life! I will be looking forward to your updates and if you have any questions please let me know!

Karina and Kirsty were done around the same time so good for support and there are some amazing people who done unreal on band, sleeve bypass..!

Hey all! That's band fill done, 3.5ml now, said can feel resistance so didn't want to overfill. Sit for 20 mins as was worried I may have issues as 4ml was too much so far! But so far so good! No Aquafit this evening as wont make it home in time. Xx

Oh got lovely new jacket this evening, no issues zipping up! Bought the 22 just for my hips..20 fitted, but little snug so worried with sweaters etc I'd look like Michelin man lol! So 22 for moment...it pulls in with toggles so fit a few sizes! Xx

Of great Sharon! Keep us updated on how the restriction goes! It's all going good for you so far! I bet you can't wait for vegas, nice fitting summer clothes, no being out of breath, have you got a goal for then?

Yeah Karina, I'm thinking the restriction will be good as not generally hungry just when do eat at night portion is bigger than normal for band so think that will help!

Ooh so excited to buy pretty summer dresses etc I'm hoping to be a 14 by then, anything less will be a bonus!!!

Oh fantastic..you will enjoy it so much more. What I've enjoyed in Florida is not been stuffed with food 24/7! It's no nice not to put on at least half a stone and for my holiday clothes not to get tighter! I've been doing my best with drinking water...that's all I have drunk. So hydration been no problem!
Which dates will you be in vegas?
