Ooooo that would be fab S as I do wear suits for work, I only live about 2 junctions on the M1 from Mansfield too! We should organise a lapband friends clothes sharing forum shouldnt we - any takers for size 24 suits / jackets / trousers out there? Im starting the low fat diet tomorrow in a bid to starting on that long road (but i know that friends are throwing a 'last troff' party next week for me but every bit helps i guess) x x x

We had a fab wedding yesterday, it was really nice to get all dressed up and not feel concious about the lumps and bumps, I felt totally chilled out and happy in my body, and I think I looked fab in my new dress :laugh: Oh im so pleased you felt good and looked stunning i bet cos that just shines to everyone else around you too. I really appreciate comments like that cos it reminds us what we're all aiming for. Well done darlin xxxxx :thumbup:

Right peeps, i've had mi blowout crap food and am chipped, Chinese and Indianed up - if i ever let em pass mi lips again, im sure i'll hurl! lol Anyway, a bit of alcohol this weekend then i'm getting down to a low fat/alcohol free diet in prep for going to Brussels. Hey Starsky, your large clothes will fit me in my next size drop so maybe we should exchange numbers and do a deal ;o) (Im a size 24 at the mo and want to get to a 16) Bev xxx

When we're both 3 stone lighter starsky we got a date on that bloomin thing!!! lol x

Ah thats fab, thanks so much StarSky. Just noted your date to be banded and wondered if our paths will cross? Mine surgery is on the 8th and im in the hotel campanile until early fri 11th Bev x

Im a bit naive when it comes to this ticker melarchy. Please can someone tell me how to pop a plane on a countdown tape. X

Awwww you guys are great. I felt devastated yesterday after the Drayton Manor ride fiasco and didnt realise that anyone else could understand how i felt. Thanks so much for not making me feel alone in mi chunky misery. I sooooooo can't wait til 8th Sept (altho mi bank balance can)! lol

Well im n serious countdown for 8th September when im banded after the day ive had today. I took my 2 boys to Drayton Manor and after much pleading from my 8yr old, I agreed to go on a ride with him. To my horror the harness wouldn't close and I was asked to leave the ride in front of 40 other ride-goers. Ive never felt so embarrassed or ashamed in my life. I laughed it off in front of the family and said blimey its due to my great bazoomas, but we all know its plainly that im fat. I never ever want to be in that situation again, embarrassing both me and my children!

Hi Garry. We havent chatted before but ive been nosying at the probs you've had. So pleased that they are sorting things for you now tho babe. Chin up darlin, we're all in this together for the long haul XXX

woo hoo!!!!! a partner in crime!!! Im arriving with my best friend quite late in the day. Our flight doesnt land til 18:15 then we've got to get the bus and train (both short hournerys though). We are staying at the Camanile Hotel - are you??? Oooo just realised, i dont know your name! lol. Sure i will real soon though ) Really kinda relieved I knpw someone else now having it the same time as me :huh2:) :huh2:) :thumbup:)

Hi everyone Ive been reading back and getting tips and thanks so much to Gillians for her really helpful emails to me :thumbdown: Ive got my surgery booked in for tuesday 8 September, got the flights booked, hotel booked, car parking etc. Just wondered if anyone else is getting banded that day too? Good luck everyone, hope you're at where you want to be right now :scared2: Take care, Bev x
