thanks that site is Great, Also my bandages fell off in the shower, do you think i should put more on the small top cut still looks a little open :S

Hey everyone, I found this great site, they sell those portion control bowls and plate, for gastic banding Great Ideas in Nutrition

Yeah I went for a walk around the shops yesterday, It did hurt as I felt lots of gas coming up but I feel much better today Where is everyone from?

I was banded on the september 15th! I feel like a have a base ball at the bottom of my chest, is this normal???

Hello, everyone. I am banded! but very sore and feeling sorry for myself right now. :tt1: But I am getting there, I feel better every day and now I am on day three. Nearly 29KG thats amazing I am really happy for you. I messaged a friend that i had not told yet on my way to the hospital as she asked about a cryptic facebook message, and she had hers done 6 weeks before hand, By Dr Anderson too :thumbup: That made feel really better. I held myself together until I was in there, but then Dr Anderson and steven made me laugh then I was asleep. :smile: Hope everyone is doing well Tara

Yes I have, I like him too. I have not met the other guy yet though but i would be happy to keep appointments with him

Hello, everyone, I am nearly a week into my pre op diet, and going better than expected who knows how long it will last though, now long now to my op 9 more days! i am going to melbourne the weekend before now so that will be good to keep my mind off it.. GO Crows

Ok I looked at the calender today and I actually screamed! There is only 4 weeks left to go, Very exciting but I still have about 7kg to go :thumbup: I am really trying too, so it is anoying, but from today i am cutting out everything i cant have after the band, hope fully this helps and me and HB2B are going to take the dog for a walk for 30 mins to an hour every day............................................. I am freaking out! But i still hope everyone is ok, this thread has gone a bit cold

Whoohoo! I am really happy for you! and I am glad things went well, Not long now for me... about 6 weeks but also 8Kg? grrr and my scales are broken atm(no battery) so I dont know how i am going! Hope everyone is doing well! 5kgs down in a few weeks and gone forever! YAY! I hope do as well as all of you Tara xoxo

Hey everyone, it has been a while since i posted, i went to another appointment, so all good and not long now...... two months! I cant wait!!! I have to lose about 8 kg first so I am going to start going to the gym this week again!

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been a while! been really busy! Great News! I got engaged! Cant wait to fit in to a normal size wedding dress! This only happened last friday, so really excited still! I am not sure about your situation span I say just call them and quote the number for the procedure.

Hey there is Dr Leong in the north!

:tongue: I though so!

Wow Trish that was so quick! that is good to know I dont wanna push it at work :thumbup: I have a very silly questions by clear soup, do they mean soup that you can see through like stock like stuff or non chunky soup? :bored:

My mum keeps saying that I am not even fat and its just my body shape! and gets mad When I say mum, Talk to my doctor! I am morbidly obese! I know she is just being nice but it is that attitude that helps me to fail. Realistically even health wise! it is not ok to be this way, not even going into appearance! We have all made great descitions for ourselves

Yeah I work in an online centre so the same as a call centre but it is emails and live chat! I dont understand those ticker things either

Great work Leah! That is such a good effort! I am very happy for you, That is good to know that you were more than ready after 12 days I guess I will just take each day as it comes.

Hey everyone! I love the pedometer idea thats great! I am currently 108Kg But i am 160cm tall so my BMI is 40. Maricole Dr Anderson didnt take the descition lightly I am having my op at Norlunga and there is no intensive care there so he had to make sure there was no risk first. I have to get under 100kg first before september. I also dont currently have any other health risks. I want to get a Wii and Wii Fit. I think that will be a lot of fun! but currently I have to save for our overseas holiday! MsJess I had a look at your blog it was good, I have been really lucky too as I told a really good friend of mine and i thought she was going to be upset about it but she was really excited and said "since I have known you how have really strugggled with your weight so this is a really good thing" she doesnt drink and really healthy and is glad that i will be taking that path too! Those who are already banded how much work did you have off?? I have a week booked as I sit in the same spot for 8 hours a day and type, but what do youse think?

Thanks everyone! I am from the North too just the other side of munno para shopping centre in Elizabeth North :blushing:

The book I was given by my DR says 2 weeks liquid 2 weeks mush then solid....... I am sure however your doctor does it differently for a reason :biggrin: I am actually getting worried about it now! Not bad stuff just more anxious, I wanna know my results etc. and I am wondering/ hoping I go really well. I am going to really start changing my eating etc on monday so then I dont find it so hard closer to my banding date. 2 month 10 days to go to I get to be in the game with a chance! I read this little thing today and i never saw things this way before....... The picture was a larger woman walking the caption said "Strap 40kg of potato to your body then go for a walk, That's what it is like for me" I wish more people understood this! Anyway It late so I am rambling so I wanna Vent about a girl at work. This girl has lost 40kg I will give her that but she spends hours every day in the gym and she can with her lifestyle! Great for her..... However, I have spoken to her a few times about the different things i have tried just at it was something we have in common etc and i had not told anyone at work about this op. When the date was booked in I was a bit bad but hey it is going to be the last time forever! I wasnt eating the best food for lunch. She yelled over to me so everyone could hear which would be close to 30 or so, whilst i was eating.. "so hows the weight loss going??" She didnt even want an answer and just looked away! I wanted to walk over to her and slap her in the face:cursing::biggrin::cursing::thumbup::cursing::tt1::cursing::eek::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing: She knows what it is like! its great she found what works for her but how dare she embarriss me like that! :cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing: Ok I am all vented now! I just cant wait till I get my results! Hey I am fat but I can loose it, she is alway going to be socially retarded!
