Gastric Balloon My gastric balloon journey starting 25/9/12
- Thread starter ginzeh
- Start date
It cut off my text so ill continue...
So tonight my last normal size meal is roast lamb, I can smell it now mmmmm!
I'll use here to update everything even if no replies people can see someone's personal journey throughout with a gastric balloon and as I have the app on my phone ill update it constantly for something to do...moan and stuff lol.
I've noticed most threads people started aren't updated much and when you research gastric balloon there isn't an awful lot of experiences!
I currently weigh I think... 15st 3 (I've put on some since I booked in with pigging out!!!)
I was 14st 6lb!!
I'm short too only about 5ft!
I'll get weighed tomorrow no doubt do ill update my actual weight =)

Hi sorry for no replies been feeling very sicky. Probably worse than normal as I can't take the tablets prescribed as I can't take tabs anyway and have now givenup smoking!!! Day 4 and I think it's hunger pangs I'm getting had some fromage frais.
Haven't been properly sick for probably over a day now, I did get a bit dehydrated and fantasized about cold drinks lol. Going to have soup later!
Have had to get To normality now as my parents have to go back to work And my other half as my parents had my daughter the past five days

Hey peeps, update! I'm feeling kinda normal again now except the nicotine cravings but that's different!
I can't imagine how I felt the first 3/4 days! I'm moving to eating actual portions now.
Im sure feeling crap at the beginning will pay off tho! With my balloon as i live far away they didn't fill it to the usual 400 or something? So i have 300whatever lol. They done that incase I couldn't handle it! So I'm going to see about getting it filled already as my appitite is coming back, stuck to soups (cream of chicken mmmmm!) and fish pie/cottage pie (6tablespoons!) breakfast on the example sheet which is kinda going to be my diary says weetabix but I've tried it with no sugar and just can't do it! Today I had a banana and large glass of milk!
Snacks have been little pots of rice pudding or a kid size yoghurt!
Bought bran flakes for breakfast tomorrow love branflakes!!!
Aftercare been good they've rang me twice daily ever since and even consultant rang the day after!
I have to say I do feel hungry but I don't know if its cos I'm thinking to much...the stopped smoking thing like I just wanna pick cos I can't smoke etc. don't know whether to take smokin up until ive conquered the weight lol.
Done lots of walking today too, dropping and picking my daughter from playschool and to the shops, so I walked for around an hour today!
Lots of stuff babbled here lol thought I'd update now I feel ok!!! Going to get pampered tomorrow, nails redone, hair cut, eyebrows done and my eyelashes re done as past week I've gone off the wall with my beauty regime lol! I've not seen the boyfriend since Sunday, he saw me at my worse!! Ahhhh! Reunited tomorrow so ill look a bit glamourous lol

No I can't feel the balloon, unless I'm laying on my front I can feel something but nothing major lol. My throats fine the day after it was back to normal! And all I think I can remember is gagging hard and them telling me to calm down ...! I was very sleepy after, everyone's different! I hate being sick so when I feel sick I'm awful! Plus I'm an idiot as I can't take tablets ...so I wasn't taking my meds til like day 3 they gave me dissolvable ones but the thought of em made me gag as I gag at everything haha. If I can do it and survive I think anyone can!!!!

Hi Ginzeh
Am glad to hear you are feeling better ..
Well done with the weight loss so far. I have stalled at the moment, have had 2 weeks off and have been pushng it a little, eating and drinking far too much without restriction ..
But.. good news i havent put any on but had a week and half of staying the same ..
Has ljade been on since her balloon fitted ??
i hope she is ok.
