Tobi's Band :)

Good to hear from you Tobi. Glad to hear you're feeling much better.

I'm with you on the head hunger (tho I don't get banded until tomorrow!). I've been finding myself thinking "I can't wait to have a great big plate of <insert food here>", then realising I won't be eating great big plates of food anymore. The thought that I won't be eating big plates of food anymore makes me feel a bit sad and disappointed, cos I love a great big plate-full!! Obviously I'm going to need to work on this when I have the band. I hate being sick or being in pain so hopefully that will help me start to feel happy with smaller portions :s I hope it's not just me experiencing wonky thoughts like that...?
 
Hi hon :) excited for tomorrow? I'll be thinking of you, please keep us posted!! X

You're not alone with that, I too dream of different food but to be honest, after 3 weeks of milk and yogurt pre-op diet, anything I eat tastes fantastic and I just want to carry on eating a bit more, at least finish the half a mug.

You just need to stick to 20-20-20. Although we don't chew anything yet, we need to wait 20sec between each sip and stop eating/drinking altogether after 20 minutes. xxx

Head hunger is the devil I had a few days of it on and off mainly when we were out an Andy an charlie had something to eat I wasn't hungry but the smells told my brain I was I can't believe 2 weeks today at this time I was in theatre! Xx
 
I know what you mean! Husband cooked himself a roast today (******* lol) and it smelled so good. Although i had something just before i still licked a couple of teaspoons of the gravy. It must have been too rich, i had really bad wind ache afterwards, around my chest and back... Obviously it could be something else, i had a cup a mushroom soup earlier. It was the worst pain after the op so far and i was getting worried. After an hour or so i had to run to the loo with the runs. Sorry if tmi... This is the 2nd time i went for a number 2 since the op and the pain went away afterwards, phew... Not sure what went wrong there and im scared to eat/drink now :( x
 
Ah thanks hon, much better now. No idea what went wrong there, possibly trapped wind untrapping, lol? I do get wind after eating or drinking every time though nowhere near as bad. Hopefully it will all settle soon :)

Ooh mega happy this morning! I wore my decent suit trousers to go to work this morning after 9 days of comfy loose trousers... and it fell to my ankles!!! Good thing i had one size smaller sitting in my wardrobe for more than a year untouched.

One dress size down already, thank you very much little band!! Xxx

LOL

I had my trouser dropping moment speed walking to Stratford tube station during the summer, just caught them in time :8855:

I've lost 4 dress sizes now, it's a fab feeling.

Love my band, but sometimes also hate it:eek:

Lol well done you x I'm also in awe that you haven't been near the scales yet its becoming an obsession for me lol
 
Thank you ladies :) really pleased :) :)

Sooo first day at work... I drove in the end, just in case. The car park is 5 min away from the office anyway and I managed it in 10 min so that's 20 min walk to and back. I also went out for a walk lunch time so that's 40 mins, makes an hour walk.

Glad I drove in the end because I get a back ache after walking for about 10 mins or so. Maybe that's cos I try very hard not to use my abdominal muscles as my 2 large incisions hurt a bit while walking?

Morning was fine but in the afternoon I had wind pain after having my soup and a bad back ache. I forgot to take painkillers with me grrrr so the last few hours were hard work. I took a co-codomol when I got home and it got better. I was on normal paracetamol recently but had to take something a bit stronger today...

If I knew what it would feel like, I would book 2 weeks off work. I felt so ready and up for it in the morning but i changed my mind in the afternoon lol. It was difficult. At least I have an easy-ish week, I have training tomorrow and working from home on Thursday.

Paula I'm dying to go on the scales but so scared. What if I haven't lost haha. Will resist the urge and do it on Saturday :)

Oh one more thing, I am struggling to finish my soups, drinks etc and cannot have more than 350-400 kcal a day so far but today I discovered Danone shape delights, low fat and 108 calories a pot and goes down so easily. Helps upping the calories a bit and tastes yummy :) xxx

I struggled to get the calories in still do sometimes lol
 
morning!!

How are you feeling after your first day back. I've booked two weeks off work and after reading about your experience I glad I did.

and I am literally DYING to hear how much you've lost.

xxx
 
Hi Rach :) I'm much better today than yesterday, partly because I'm at a training all morning and seated on comfy sofas doing team activities an other corporate stuff lol! Haven't taken painkillers yet but I will do in the afternoon when I go back to the office.

I'm dying to find out too but I'm scared it's slowed down. Lost 30 pounds exactly in my 4 weeks prior to surgery though! Xxx
