Bella I got a bit down about day 3/4 even thought why did I do this but I feel better now .

Thanks Mimi, I am sure I will feel better tomorrow. It is so reasuring to know I am not alone

I've pretty much been in the zone from day 1, so even when I wasn't topped up I was curbing my volume and ensuring I ate healthy. So in essence on a diet think I did a week on liquids after op but could be wrong. Trust me, once you get to your solids stage that's when you can start looking forward to meals again. Just for now grit your teeth n stick with it!! prob best not write much more as I've iPhone in one hand and vino in the other to celebrate today! But on that note I've had alcohol 3 times in 9 months, and they're the 3 weeks I stayed the same, so if you want to blast this, it may be something you need to think about as it killed any loss I had planned for those weeks. Xx

Thanks Jo, I am sure once I get through this liquid phase I will feel much, much better. I don't drink alcohol so its not an element I have to worry about
You enjoy your big day though! Look at you Big gold star for Jo

Thanks ladies! Gotta love my band xx

[lolalou]

Ooh I'd like to know the answer to that one because my urges have well and truly left me! Well that was until yesterday when I saw the advert for magic mike at the cinema ;-)

 

[JO28172]

I can't be arsed either way! Lol! joys of long term relationships I guess! But I am treating him this weekend by getting some alcohol in me, as whilst he's not gone without I've pretty much treated it more like a production line! need the vino and to make an effort for once lol

 

[lolalou]

Ha ha ha that's made me laugh! I've been using my "tender tummy" as an excuse the last month!! Even though it was alright after a week or two. I made the mistake a while back of saying one more glass of wine and your chances will be better! :-/ oops. You know what I mean by the sounds of it though. X

Goodness me and I thought we all were enthusiastic wishing you to meet your goal. Your partner must have been contemplating cutting one of your arms off so you reached it quicker.

[JO28172]

men aaaaargh!! Wake him up he's dreaming (or hallucinating)!!

 

[lolalou]

Ha ha that's so true! My other half would do it morning and night if I let him. And he doesn't understand why I would happily do it once a month! I live him to bits but my sex drive has left me. Hopefully temporarily. Personally I'm glad of the break from baby making for a year! X

Hi I had my band on Saturday too and have found that I'm not really eating anything very much. I have been having some pouring yogurt and to make it a bit more interesting I've blended some fresh raspberries and strawberries together with some icing sugar and blended it until it is runny, sieved out all the bits and it's absolutely lovely. I've found I'm very uncomfortable in my chest in the morning then feel better about 10.30-11ish. Having 100-200mls soup/l f yogurt/ l f custard for lunch and dinner and not much else. Managing my fluids well though. Also stewed some apple pear and tinned peaches with juice from the tin and a vanilla pod and blended that until it was practically liquid. It's nice to get some fruit in somewhere as I'm a bit of a fruit junky!

[JO28172]

Sounds like you're doing fine to me. Alot of us experience tighter bands in a morning so that's Normal. Just listen to your body and go with the flow! You can join us stress heads in a few weeks when onto solids
