newby, buddies wanted

well its sat now, 4 days in and i have to say i dont think ive had it that bad, must be 1 of the lucky ones! only been sick once on the first night but i think that was due to all the acid in my stomach and not eating anything. i can eat yoghurt soup rice pudding and half a weetabix, not all at the same time tho lol! not had any probs with acid reflux and the only thing that is really bothering me are the stomach cramps which feel like im trying to give birth to the bloody thing! i havnt been weighed yet, going to wait till monday but i feel i must have lost at least a couple of pounds because i have eaten next to nothing comapred to usual. cramps are slowly going and im back to work on monday! ps does anyone knw if we are allowed to eat scrambled egg in the first 2 weeks? ta xxxx
 
hey Amy I had mine put in at 10am this morning im home now and so far feeling ok ish, not been sick (yet) just some tummy cramps so will be pretty happy if it stays like this! how ru doing now? x
 
Hi all, just had my balloon fitted on tuesday and wanted taken out on wednesday!!
Its now friday and have eaten a small amount so hopefully its settling down.I was shocked at my bodies reaction, but now on the mend and glad to read all of the advice written here.
here's to a slimmer 2010
 
hey balloon buddies - had it in for 1 week and starting to feel pretty good

i noticed that a couple of you guys are aussies - me too.

that first week was hell but starting to feel good now. not hungry at all, more thirsty than anything - loving frozen juice icey poles - really soothes the throat

issues I am having:

- cant get comfy at night and not sleeping much
- not a lot of energy as only eating about 400 calories a day

Have lost 8kg since the balloon went in. Want to lose another 30.

Would love some buddies to share the ups and downs with
 
Hi Loislanerocks - I am an Aussie too! I had weigh in this morning and I am 14 kgs down - 4 weeks post balloon. But I did have a very low calorie diet (the same as banders) for the 2 weeks prior to surgery. So really 14kgs in 6 weeks. I am down two sizes in jeans and work suits and feeling great. I think I eat about 1/2 of what I use to eat and I am back at the gym. I have some dodgy days, but good days far outweigh the bad. I have a goal of another 22 kgs - I was aiming for 30 plus what I lost in the two weeks prior to the band. If I do that I will have lost 36 all up. 22 weeks to go and 22 kgs to lose - cross fingers!
 
Sharing a story with all does look bad...
