it's just over 3 hours to Christmas here in Western Australia. Getting sloshed on vodka and cranberry with my family!
Merry Christmas everyone! -
ok trying to get ALL my Christmas shopping done on the evening of the 23rd Dec is a little insane. I think I may be a little bit screwed....

There are also lots and lots of people for whom the band has worked, and who have gone on to lose weight and keep it off. I know it's hard not to think that it might fail for you, because all your life, losing weight has been something you've been variously unsuccessful with. But it does work for a good many people. I am one of those people. And I honestly believed if it wouldn't work for anyone, it wouldn't work for me.

Thanks mbwalker! I started at 215lbs on surgery day, but I was heavier than that beforehand. I was too scared to weigh myself though. -
Why isn't my band getting looser with weight loss?
lellow replied to lordkeepme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My band has been loose for about 12 months then BAM got gastroenteritis a couple of weeks ago and now the band is tight. In fact I pb'ed for the first time in about 6 months last night. I'm not so tight I think I'll need an unfill but I have a lost about 4lbs and I really, really don't want to lose anymore, so I'm hoping whatever it was that made it tight will settle so I go back to the way things were. -

Only the comments I've made since the move to the new server. I got a msg when posting the comments that a mod had to approve it before it would become visible. And they never became visible. I checked out my settings on my Gallery too and it says that one of my albums has (+6 queued) against "Comments". So I'm assuming that other people have made comments against pics in that album which are not visible to me. All comments made prior to the server shift show up fine

I left a couple of comments against member's photos in the gallery, and both times got a msg saying a mod had to approve my comments before it would be published. It's been a week and the comments haven't appeared. How long does it take a mod to approve photo comments?

I need to do this all on my own..
lellow replied to Erin18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Erin, I'm sorry to hear that your mum isn't taking on a healthy lifestyle change with you, but honestly it's not such a bad thing being in control over your own diet. You can learn to choose and eat the right foods for you, and these will be life-long lessons. Now I'm not going to try to advise you on calories simply because I never counted them myself and as far as food goes, I ate whatever I cooked for my family, and being Asian, I guess stir fries were a good healthy meal most times. I used common sense, tried to eat whole foods whenever I could, and stopped before I was full. As for exercise, I used an exercise bike but a treadmill is just as good. You need a combo of aerobic exercise and weight resistance training, and to be honest, if you want to do it in the comfort of your own home, a kettle bell, a resistance band and a gym ball is a great, cost effective way to start. Trust me, you can get a whole body work-out with just those three things. And finally, good luck. You sound positive and ready for a change! I wish you all the best!
