That's brill mimi!!! I'm really trying hard to not overeat. I'm in a hotel though with an amazing menu :-( but I just had grilled vegetable skewers with more veg not chips! For tea. That was very restrained!! I'm desperate to lose half a stone before my next fill in the hope she will find my port easier x

Where abouts are you Mimi!? Guessing you are my neck of the woods in which case (I'm in chesterfield)

I wish I had your willpower/positivity! You've done amazing. I'm trying to cut my portion sizes and cut out bread. Kick start myself. It's strange though, I could still eat nearly a normal sized plate of food and not be uncomfortably full. But just had poached eggs mushrooms and tomatoes for breakfast, was hard not to have toast to dip on the lovely eggs. But I need a kick start!!! Well done on getting into a size 16! That must have felt great can't wait for that day. X

hi jo i live in gainsborough just above lincoln.
thanks lola.
today is my TOTM and boy do i feel my band rock solid in the middle of my chest ,never felt it this tight before.
feels like im blown up with wind.

 

[lolalou]

I'm 99% positive I've been robbed!!!!! I don't feel anything!!!!!!! Good thing or bad thing I can't decide. Just wish I was in a size 16 :-/ keep it up mimi you are doing amazing!!!! X

 

[mimi42]

Lola its only top half, bottom half I just fit in an 18 but only just can't move or breath in jeans.you will feel it after a few fills ,this was my forth and only feels tight this time of month.so much of the weight loss is willpower l don't think the band does much just stops u over eating in one go but it won't stop u eating slidder foods that's where your willpower has to come in.I don't have much willpower but £5000 is a lot of money to pay out and give up.please don't give up it will work we just have to work with it.

 

[lolalou]

I know, but I don't have much willpower and thought this would make all the difference, it's not as different as I thought. That said, I definately can't overeat in one meal like you said how I used to. Second helpings are a definate no no so I am hoping with more fills I will suddenly kick in to gear. I'm not blaming anyone but myself. But I definately thought I would feel different, when I went for my first appointment to see about getting it done the consultant told me I would never eat a full meal again, that I would only ever be able to eat a starter size portion for the rest of my life. That was what I wanted. Alas not for me. Ill get there. I'm sure of that. Ill just take four times longer than everyone else! At least it kick started my totms which is exactly what I wanted keep up the good work mimi!!

 

[mimi42]

I no u wanted to lose the weight to try for a baby but if you get yourself to stressed your make it harder anyway .think of yourself as a tortoise nice and slow.the fills will work I promise.

 

[lolalou]

I know. Thanks I'm not complaining though. Slow and steady wins the race. I'm trying to up my protein. Slipping down the slope of missing dinner though and being ravenous at tea time when I'm too busy at work. Slapped hands!! Are you still hammering your treadmill? X

 

[mimi42]

ive started following a running program that helped me lose 4 stone a few years ago when my sister helped me.as a snack to take away the hunger a bit i have a snack a jack,chocolate chip flavour.they are gorgous try them.

 

[mimi42]

lola i never lost any weight for 4 wks last month got really down so this month hoping like hell my recent fill will kick start it again.hasnt happened this wk cause of TOTM but still watch wot i eat and hope for the best next wk.

 

[mimi42]

Since my fill I have had a headache every day.I'm hoping its not got anything to do with it.

 

[lolalou]

I've been having headaches for a couple of months, it's driving me mad. But I am going in two weeks to have all of my fill taken out as I found out I was pregnant on Monday!!! Sooner than hospital group recommend but I am assured by all that I will be fine. Just got my fingers toes and legs crossed that I don't miscarry this one!!
