    Anyone in england...?

    hey thanks for replying! I having the band is easier said than done, ive said that half of this weight loss journal is a mental thing aswell. Because just because you have teh band, it doesnt give you a brain transplant so to say lol You still need to learn how to change ur eating patterns etc etc But it good to chat! Do you have msn?

    Hey hun! Im so sorry to hear that they have changed ur date again...but dnt you worry hun, you WILL be banded. Apolgies, before i read this thread i sent youa PM wishing you luck.

  8. Hey hun!! Im doing really well thanks, work had been keeping me busy busy. I didnt lose any weight this week, but i think thats to do with me drinking to much liquid calories last week. as i couldnt eat (still on thick liquids back then). But im on mushies now and loving the taste of food again lol lol

     

    How have you been?

  9. Hey hun!

     

    You are right about the job being stressfull.....and your are so RIGHT in saying that you need to make sure that you look after urself...because ur employer aint gonna care. When you go...they will find another person to replace you just like that. Thats a true point that you make....i have seen alot of people put on weight...and the thing is its a slow gradual process...one min there size 10 the next they have shot up to a size 16.

     

    You so sweet hun, thats very kind of you...but im sure you will be regretting it when im sending you an essay of a msg lol lol haha! Im just messing :P

     

    Same goes to you hun! If you ever wanna talk...about anything! Im here!

     

    Stay blessed hun! xxx

  10. Hey my friend lil ireneeee!! hehe

    Im sorry i havent been in touch, went back to work just over a week ago and it has been non stop since i stepped my foot back in there! I dont get as much time to come online as i'd like...i miss you!!!

     

    How have you been?

     

    Good to hear from ya!! xxxxxx

     

    ((((hugz))))

  11. Hey! Im really pleased with the loss so far...i have a way to go, but im actually on the journey and thats what counts. I really do feel like i have been given a new lease on life...im actually in control on my weight (with a lil help of course lol). I love my band!! lol It was worth every penny!! xxx How have you been?

  12. Hey hun!

     

    Yes im in the field of social work...i have another 7 months till im qualified (as a social worker) and cant wait. But ive worked in the health and social care field for a few yrs now. I started off as an emergency response officer for the elderly then i moved onto working with adults with mental health needs/issues..i really love the job. I also work with adults who have dual diagnosis...so that could also mean with substance misuse or alcohol issues as well has there mental health needs. Although its very rewarding, i know what you mean about getting burntout! Its very demanding!

     

    and lets just say its not teh kinda job you could stay in for 20yrs other wise you will be teh one who will end up with a mental health issue lol lol

     

    How are you?? was catching up on your last vids...about going to the emergency room, i hope you are feeling better hun

    Bandster hell or purgatory yet?

    hey hun!! i was exactly the same by day 5/6...i just wanted to eat...and drinking fluids just wasnt curbing my hunger!! Week 2 i was allowed thicker liquids...so what i have done is take full advantage of the thicker liquids! lol Ive been making my own home made Soup with lots of veg (high fibre) and carbs (potatoes) and blending the lot and having that! It really did fill me up...i would say it kept me full for about 2/3 hours so i had severa; small portions throught the day. Ive also been blending veg/greavey and chicken....lets just say ive been getting creative and using my "thicker" liquids title to the max!! lol Ive set my cal intake at 1200 cals and as long as i dnt go over that, i eat as much as i like... with the soup because i know what gone in it, i can have quite a lot of it. xxxxxx

    Question for those that are banded

    It really depends on ur doc hun. My band ialso holds 10cc and i wasnt filled at surgery, but other docs give you a fill during surgery.
