Hoping some of the older timers are still lurking on the site like me! So it’s been roughly 2 years since I last checked in and so much has happened! I managed to get down to a size 10 and held it steady until I fell pregnant! The band didn’t affect my pregnancy at all and I didn’t need any...

The dietician is through my provider I went private with the hospital group. Who did you go through? Had a lovely salmon salad with olives and a little feta it was gorg. Can't believe it's Friday tomorrow this week has flown by, I will call the dietitians tomorrow!:doh:

I was like you too Lulu my mum paid half of mine and I had been toying with the idea of it for a couple of years before finally realising enough is enough I need to get it done. That was this time last year, from decision to surgery took about 6 weeks. Its a huge life changing decision MissB so...

Thanks Mindy, have been catching up on your diary and looks like you're doing fab and you look amazing in your profile pic! Well done you! I had a bit of a scare last night... I started getting a twinge of stomach ache at around 3pm, didn't think too much of it as I was on the school run and...

Is the Banders Cafe closed for business... I need some help! Hi all, so after being off site for a couple of months I'm really starting to lag. Since my last fill in August I've lost a whopping 4lbs. I've been going to the gym (a lot less regularly) but my portion sizes have increased. Not to...

if I a man totally honest I think it was a good thing it happened... I was getting a little too comfortable and not being respectful of my band. Since my little mishap I've been really planning my meals and doing my 20, 20, 20 religiously! I don't ever want to have that feeling again it was...

I'm sipping on some options hot chocolate now and thinking about going to M&S to buy a scrummy soup for tea. I had a late lunch of weetabix! I'm so glad its passed now but it was the worst feeling ever. Never again I promise!

Thanks Mazza, after my last post I managed to get it all out. My insides feel sore though so I'll be taking your advice and sticking to liquids for a while. It was one of my biggest fears getting food stuck and I have to be more cautious from now on

So I have had my first experience of food getting stuck in my band. The other day I bought my kids a fish butty - i was hungry so had a nibble of the fish. Was lovely so today I thought I'll have some fish from the fish and chip shop for lunch. Biggest mistake ever. I took maybe two bites, I...

Thanks Kar, I'll have to give vimto a try. I'm not too keen on the usual cordial/dilute drinks which is why I'm struggling so much!

Hi all, I'm now 10 months after having a GB and doing really well. Feeling fab, have so much more energy and loving my new figure. I just have one niggling issue... Pre-op I wouldn't say I was a mad fizzy drinks drinker but had a can of pepsi max with my evening meal, the odd can of red bull...
