So pleased, excited and positive :)

Today it is a week since I had my op . . .can't believe a week has gone by already to be honest . . .this time last week we were driving up to the hospital.

Thursdays are also my own personal weigh in day, and this week since surgery I've lost 10lbs.

OMG, 10lbs, I had to get on the scales 3 times to check it and each time it came out to that. I had lost 17lbs on the pre op diet so on day 22 I've lost a total of 27 lbs.

Its hard to believe tho, that in the past week I've seen the 22 stones come and almost go . . .I can't believe nearly 2 stone has gone . . .I feel it already in doing physical things, a top I put on yesterday I could feel how much looser it was. My arms hang down closer to my side already . . .lots of NSV that I wasn't really expecting to see so early.

I'm still on clearer liquids but feeling great , feeling excited, but feeling positive that spending £7,500 was the best money I'm going to spend.

Thank you to all the support you've given to me since I joined, its been greatly appreciated!

wooooohoooooooo

I've just updated my stats on here and also just noticed that this weight I've lost has taken me under the 50 BMI. If I could have lost that before I had surgery I would have saved myself the extra £500 lol

Congrats Kitty Kat! Your enthusiasm is catchy! I had my band surgery two days before yours and am also seeing great results post-surgery, but I completely sucked at the pre-op diet (unlike you, very well done!). I sure am feeling hungry, though. My band has zero mL and have to wait 2 months till the first fill. How do you manage the hunger? Are you able to ingest more than 100mL at a time? I certainly can, don't feel remotely satiated till 200mL or more. My doctor stressed the consistency of what I take in these first two months, but he didn't tell me I shouldn't have more than 100mL. However, other banders have told me they didn't take in more than 100mL their first month (before first fill).

I don't feel hungry, not in the slightest. I had 100mls of soup today, its bloated me beyond belief and made me feel queasy. So Im going back on clear liquids again. I am able to drink a cup of tea, I am able to manage 150mls of OJ or apple juice, but if I have NAS squash, I can't drink more than 50mls at a time, if I attempt Ribena, it makes me feel bloated. My provider said to start off with 100 mls at a time building up to 200mls during this 2 week liquid stage, and that the consistency should be able to go up a straw with ease, but not to drink through a straw as it adds gas to the stomach.

So, I will be giving the soup a miss tomorrow, and stick back to the juices etc I don't have any liquid in my band as my provider doesn't do this and it was confirmed by the surgeon when he visited me the next morning, but I don't feel hungry in the slightest, even if I only have 50ml I feel full.

Thanks everyone hoping it will continue this way, but also hoping that I can work out why apple juice is alright, but NAS squash bloats me. LOL why I can have OJ or tea, but coffee bloats me and makes me feel queasy, as does Ribena. . . .very strange feeling. . . .and I've paid the price for having 100ml of soup today, feel so full . . .
