Hi all 25th June I was banded .. I lost 7kgs in the first and that's been about it .. I must admit my eating hasn't truly changed .. It was like once I found out once I could eat some of my old fav foods I started to get back into this bad habits I went for my first fill today and I'm back up 5kgs in 8 weeks .. Doc says its a natural thing to not lose in the first 8 weeks but from what I'm reading doesn't show that.. My eating could defs be better and exercise too .. Grrr I need my mojo back!!

Massive congrats!!!

Oh that's good that they are Easing up!!! I was just talkin to a friend who was banded about 4 months ago and she didn't have much pain at all after surgery lol .. Lucky thing!!! I'm tossing up about taking some panadol but I don't think it will help too much perhaps if I just sleep ill wake up feeling a bit better !!

Hi charli I was banded yesterday how are you feeling?? I have quite a bit of pain from the gas and incisions but hoping it will ease in the next day or so lol

I was banded yesterday and my pain was around a 6 .. But now I'm home and its like a 8!! I have so much gas hanging around I just can't get comfortable!! I've tried walking and it's just so uncomfortable to breathe.. Each time I get out of bed I have to hold my tummy .. It feels like its just going to open up and fall out!! Lol .. Fluids are just making me bloated and make me feel worse so I haven't had a lot today .. Will get hubby to get some panadol or something on his way home so I can at least get some sleep .. I'm hoping it gets better quickly!!

Yay!! Today I booked in for my LBS !! Tuesday June the 25th is my day!! And I'm incredibly excited about what is to come and nervous at the same time!! For so many months I have gone back and forth with the decision as I felt as tho I should be able to do it naturally but came to the realisation that I needed help .. I also struggled with others opinions .. My partner is a personal trainer so although he supports me and wants me happy I think he'd rather I lose the weight band less.. I said "me too" lol but obviously that isn't working!! Tipping the scales at 110kgs - my heaviest weight ever .. I decided jut this once I was going to do what I wanted to do, despite anyone else's options and that included his .. At the end of the day only I know me.. Only I know if this is right for me .. Only I know what it's like to live in my body etc .. A lot of people I know think lap band is a shortcut , an easy way out :-/ .. I'm hoping to change their outlook on the band and to show them its just as much hard work as a diet, a new exercise regime etc .. And the way I see it .. Those who truly care and love me are just going to be happy to see me happy and anyone who ain't well .. "Ain't nobody got time for dat" This is my first post of many!! I'm excited to meet you all and learn more about your journey Xx

What!! That's so crazy!! And wrong on so many levels!! I'm sorry for what happened to you and I pray you and your family are looked after in all areas xx

Woohoo June 25th here!!!
