Congrats Trish !!! How did it all go and how are you feeling?

Hey Tarob, from my understanding Dr. Bessell does private patients at Flinders Medical Centre ( in the public sector) for people in your situation? This was the case when I was looking into it in DEc 08. It is worth giving them a call!!! First post op support meeting tonight with AOS going to pop in a hide in the corner somewhere!! Good luck n let us know wat happens but make sure u call AOS im sure he does the surgery at a public hosp but no idea on waiting times!!-

I didnt notice that, im hoping its on Wed though!!! Maybe give them a buzz tomorrow???

Hey Leah, all the questions are fine!! I’ll send you a bill in the post! Did you get a letter from AOS about post-op support group? I’m hoping to get to the one in May!! I have my moments with restriction as well! In the morning sometimes I can hardly have anything while last night I was able to eat a slice of pizza and a little lasagne at a party. I was drinking while I was eating tho so I guess it ‘washed’ it down!! My restriction is fairly good now! I find I can still eat about a cup but not any more really liked I used to!! If I overdo it I ‘slime’ and had my first little PB yesterday with a pie I ate. I have been going about 3-4 hours between any foods but could prob go longer but at uni its eat whenever you have a break in lectures. How are you going with it all?? I’m getting very excited, im sitting just over 100kg now so cant wait to be over, ill give it a couple of weeks!!!!

Well done on the loss Trish!!! Keep us updated on your surgery xoxox

Hey :cool2: I work as a student Radiographer and barium has changed so much!!! Its a good consistency now like a thick milkshake and has little taste - if anything slightly vanilla - you dont have to sallow much of it!! You will be fine xooxoo

Hey, in a simple answer, it wont change your eating habits. yes you wil feel fuller for longer on smaller amounts but it wont stop behavioural eating sorry :cool2: I was banded 3 months ago and you still have to watch what you put into your mouth, you cant rely on band to tell u to stop u have to stop when your full :laugh: When you say you are always starving do you mean you always want food or your tummy grumbles?? Lots of questions sorry! but know how u feel its a big decision, one i wouldnt change!

hey guys sorry i havent been around! just got another fill yesterday have 6.2 now and see how it goes! Stopped losing for a while but hopefully this will kicstart it all again!!
