Hi, Saw your pics, you look fantastic, congratulations!! I was banded a week ago, can't wait to see the same results, photos like this inspire people to endure the pain for a little longer. Thankyou! mlp

Sounds fantastic Paul! I will be enjoying sweet potato, pumpkin, peanut soup, with a little coriander. My most delicious meal yet. You'd laugh have everyone in the house eating soup now. They love it! My 6 year old burst into tears when I told him all of my homemade tomato soup was all gone. Have told them all they can only eat spam based meals so I don't want any, feel it's only fair. Lol. Enjoy your Australia day! mlp

Hi all, Well you were right. Although feel awful after dinner, every day do feel 50% better than the day before. Have lost an amazing 6 kilos, can't believe it. No wonder though, far out, it is very difficult. My family have been very supportive. It is quite incredible how much they eat though!! Also, never realised how much food advertising there is on telly. No wonder I couldn't say no to food. Everything is creamier, tastier etc. Can't wait to be slim!!! Thankyou for all of your support!!! 'mlp:thumbup:

Hi guys, two days in and feeling dreadful. Waves of nausea, and strange sensations in my eosophagus when i drink etc. Wish I didn't feel like i had been beaten up internally. Have made some tomato soup today to try and eat something yummy and healthy. Am wondering whether all these awful sensations go away, altogether, as couldn't manage like this until my weight came off! !Please give me some hope, am wondering whether it was worth it!!

Congratulations, on both your weight loss and you pregnancy. Can understand why you don't want to be putting on weight at this stage, as you have come so far!!I seem to remember from my pregnancies though that a lot of it is baby etc. Which will be lost after bubs is born. Breastfeed and you'll lose that weight again! Babies nutrition is more important now, your setting him/her up for life! Keep your chin up! Just think you'll be one of those mums that everyone hates, slimming down, when youv'e just had a baby! Love it! mlp

Thanks Paul, Trying not to think about it too much, but am looking forward to my future, as I know I will be much happier and relieved of the psychological impact having weight on has caused. Thank you for your response will no doubt chat again. mlp

Hi, getting my band this friday, very nervous! Hoping it is as positive for me as for you guys. Dolan is doing mine too. I keep trying to convince myself it will be the help I need, Dolan spent only 5 minutes with me at his appointment , I feel I don't know what to expect. Did you guys only drink clear fluids for a week afterwards, like they suggest? Will I be able to get back to work 1 week after? Worried I will feel weak from not eating! Will let you know how I am going MLP
