Hey hun! Congrats once again, on your excellent news! Wish you all teh best and your baby gonna be a stunner! You so pretty! xxx Well done on your great weight loss xxx

Aww thanks hun. You can be the cheif taster so you can let me know if they are any god or not lol. With the dad situation if i where you...i would say that you are on a new healthy eating plan. And that you eat smaller portions. If possible try and avoid eating around him....?? Which i know is easier said than done... I havent anyone apart from my sis also so when i see my mum or other family members i will be full of excuses why i cant eat. (i think one i will use often is i had a big breakfast which is why im eating so lil lunch, diner etc. And another is simply "im not hungry i will eat later" lol lol

Hey hun!

Im sorry i havent been in touch, we have an inspection coming up at work, so everyones working flat out to make sure everything is in place. How have you been? Hope you are doing well.

Miss you xxx

Hey!

Walking is exercise in my books lol lol I do aqua aerobics at the moment and really do enjoy it, but i will be stepping up my exercise and incorporating weight training, to help my arms. I dont want to be left with bingo wings lol after i drop the weight. xxxx

Hey Monica. Ohh yes i remember asking you before and you did mention you had aol. lol. My email address is ghanagal2007@hotmail.co.uk xx

Enjoy your cooking session hun, i think part of the band is about experimenting which foods you can and cant have. Im sure you will make lots of yummy things....let me know what you make....you may give me some inspiration lol lol

Wow your food bill has really gone down...im sure what you woud normally have in a day would last you for the week lol lol

enjoy your tea babe xxx

ohh yes they sure are!

Im sure you are enjoying your mushie stage, must taste better to have something a bit thicker than just liquid! You realy dont each much at all, how many cal u think ur on a day...less than 500 from teh sounds of what you are eating.

Remember to chew chew chew when u start yor soft foods 2morro

thats great that u are feling such great restriction, fingers crossed you wont need to many fills! Remember to keep up with ur fluid intake though hun, u dont wanna get dehyrated xxxxx

Your more than welcome hun! Like i said you can really see the difference only aftera short space of time. I look forward to seeing the new smaller version of me this time next yr! So what stage are you on now....? Full Liquids? or mushies?

When is your first fill booked for?

Hey Monica!

Glad to hear that you are doing well hun. And WELL DONE on loosing anothe 4lbs!! You are doing so well! You have lost more than me this week an im meant to be on a low cal diet lol! As i said before i would love to stay in touch with you. Do you have my email address hun? I think i added you to msn. Have a great day and will chat with you soon.

That is a great loss hun...WELL DONE do you exercise a lot?

very true...i guess i get away with a lot more because im taller. When i tell people how much i weigh (that that i do often) they think im lying!! I carry most of my weight around my bum, hips and thighs...and my stomach of course! lol But althought i wanna drop teh weight, i still wanna be a curvy chick...no matter how much i loose i will still have my hips bum, n thighs! Just a smaller version of it! xxxx

Hey hun! Love your new pics...and wow! You can really start to see the difference in your face! Keep up your hard work hun! Your wounds are also healing really well! xxx

Hey!! Thanx for my pic comments....you to kind!! So whats up...how is banded life treating you so far? xx

currently i weight 395lbs im 5'10.

Hey hun! Congrats on getting banded....im not banded yet....i will join you in a few weeks time! Im still on my pre op diet stage...and have lost about 5lbs so far. I will start the protein shakes in just under a week. So i know i will have some big losses then. Hun dont woryy to much about having a few bad things. The main thing is that you stick to what the doc's says and follow through your full liquids/musheies stages etc. I know it can be extra hard with no restriction, but you will be on solids soon.

Every one is different and some people will loose before they get there first fill, but other do gain...and it is totally normal especially as you have no restriction. I find that keeping a log of what you eat helps...and excercise will also help. but dont over do it! You need to let your body heal up first. If your only eating 800/900 cals im sure you will loose. Even when i eat 1500 cals a day i loose weight.

Make sure you getting in plenty of fluids as you dont want to dehyrdate your self.
