I had a small band fitted with 4ml popped in which I was shocked at as I didn't think I'd be getting none I wonder why he's given me a fill :/ Cannot believe I'm banded guys it all happened so quick with a 2 week turn around from my first appointment and booking to being here it's just starting to sink in that I'm banned

How you doing?
I was fine with the band and wind pain. I just remember being exhausted, not sure coz it was the general and they take it out of me, or if it was the fact I'd hardly touch 200-800 kcal's from a massive 2500-4500kcal I could usually force into my body...
Take one day at a time and stick stick stick to the rules is my main advice, the secondly be patient, all will fall into place soon ;-)

So have u been told about liquid phase ? Soft phase? And then normal foods?
From then you go
To 20/20/20 or 20/30/20 eating. I eat off a side plate only and for no longer than 20 minutes , I chew my food 20 times and take 20 seconds minimum till the next bite goes in . I also adapted this and make sure my foods 20pwnce size on my fork.... I was guilty early on of eating big bites and wondered why I was struggling to swallow and getting so much slime... Yehhhh I used to shove it all in... The rules are the way to successful banding definatly . Don't deprive yourself either if nice things - just limit them totally.
You will do great - it's early days ;-) xx

I never dreamed I'd loose beyond 5 st ( still 5lbs more to lose) but I never thought I'd get in size 8/10 noooo way.
Believe beyond your imagination and trust me if u use the band as a good tool to help you can achieve anything Gemma. I was just like you, I'd eat myself to sleep because I was so miserable, never went out , I was always the fat friend, It's changed my life in such a short time, 6 months , and it's just crazy, work hard everyday and if you are feeling down, just accept it for that day and tomorrow is a new day.... ;-)
If you need any help hola on here, it's amazing for support
big big hugs... Your on the losers bench which is positive for once in our lives! ;-) ;-)

You know what babe, 26 is a great age, I did it at 30, my surgeon was very much like your at a good age to change your life, your body etc, you've yoyo'd so it's not as of (we) have got to super obese where to get that big you do have to be able to consume some calories, he was very much like ... It will work well... I just never dreamed it would be this well.
Trust me, today we just had a roast- off a small plate, I ate a third and some days I'm like.... I wanna scoff that huge plate like my OH ,.. But would I want that in exchange for designer shops, fitting in a small, not at all. Babes, there are gonna be tough times ahead and you gotta make good choices mixed in with reality, having a glass of wine, that SMALL chocolate bar rather than the 250g bar we all know we used to have when we feel fat but once you start seeing the difference ... Say 3st -4st bracket you will feel amazing. I had such a slow slow start compared to others I knew who were sleeved and by passed and it was disheartening, but I told myself ... Girl it's your journey, it will all fall into place. It does. I promise. You will start to understand your triggers, your emotions and if you can find another channel to heal your wounds, you will just do fab! I have every faith in you- ESP at 26 !!!
Go girlie xx
