Thank you Mazza.

Hi there, I've had my band nearly 6 years and have lost nearly 8 stone. Recently my health has been rubbish and it turns out I am severely anaemic. I have been taking 3 iron tablets a day for a week now and already feel a bit better. Problem is, last night I was woken at 4am with chest pain. I...

Hiya Princess. I don't have a medical answer for you but wanted to say that I know what you mean. I expected the weight to drop off dramatically but for me it didn't. However, I lost about 2lbs a week, sometimes 1lb and occasionally 3 or 4lb and now I'm glad it went that way. I didn't tell...

Hi, I think you have done amazingly with only 4ml in your band, well done! Fortunately I was able to get a bank loan for my band. And only have a year left to pay off, thank god. Annoyingly the price of bands have reduced loads in four years. Good for others but annoying for me. like when you...

Hi and thanks Sharon. I don't really have a fixed target. I would like to be lighter than I am now but if I stayed this weight forever then I wouldn't mind. I have never been a big loser. In my first week after getting my band, I only lost a pound. Most weeks I lost 2lb and sometimes 3lb. But it...

Hello, very long time no see. It's time for my annual update. Quick re-cap. Fours years ago I weighed 19st 3lb and was bloody miserable. I was really shy and had very low self esteem. I didn't really partake in life if I could get away with it. Now. I am 13st 3lbs, yes six stone lighter and...

Hey, it's been a long time. Yesterday was my band's three year birthday so I thought I'd give a quick update. Three years ago I was over 19st and utterly miserable with zero confidence. I am now 14st, and yes I know I could be much slimmer but I'm not going to lie, I have a food addiction and...

I find eating meat can be difficult. The only I can keep chicken or pork chop etc down is to cut it in to really small pieces at the start so I'm not temped to put larger bits in my mouth. And chew really well. I know what you mean about being hungry after a meal, if I am still hungry then eat a...

It is totally normal to be hungry. If your stomach is rumbling then put something in it! Don't forget yoghurts, they are a good stop gap. Good luck x

Had to share! This is Poppy, she is a 2 year old collie/lab. She is the friendliest and silliest dog you could ever meet!

Try not to be nervous, it's all over and done with really quick. Sometimes when I've had a fill I haven't even felt it. Sometimes depending on the nurse, they ask you to raise your legs and hold them in the air (like killer stomach exercises) I find that hard, even 5 stone lighter it still...

You look great Miss M!

Hi, just though i'd pop in. It's been ages since I was here. So many new banders! It's coming up to two years banded. I have gained over a stone but I'm not too concerned as at least I'm not any where near as big as I was. Also...new year new start. So I'm back to logging food and back here too!

Wow you look fab! I hope you had a great holiday, you deserve it! xxxx

Genuinely lovely! x

Wow what a tiny little woman you are! so inspiring thank you. xx

1lb off this week, little bit disappointing but another pound closer to target! And, updating my ticker is one of my fav things to do!

Me too Gloucestershire, I get my fills in Bristol if that counts!

Well done, you're doing great! x

Have a lovely holiday Mrs pill...with your robot toes! xxx
