jilly bean, i too got it at 28, now turning 30 in November, I promised myself that i would not turn 30 and be overweight, or if i am im going to be fit and healthy and under hopefully 90kg. best of luck everyone and have a great day

hey all, emmajane, i found meat stews, as in how you would normally make them then barmix them, add mushed cauliflower, or pumpkin, or spuds, or those orange spuds, oh, McCain has brought out, oh sweet spud! too early in the morning! has brought them out sliced, boil them then, squish. about a cupful or handful, i found first time weird, but dont think of it as old peoples food! breakies, ceral of choice with more milk, lunch well i had either a mix of veigies or left over stew. i hope this helps. hope everyone is well. i am still sick, but at least can eat, i went on holidays to Geelong for my 29th birthday and to see David Strassman's, Ted E Bear's farewell tour, funny as! i was at 10kg when i left, after putting weight on when i was able to eat again from my sore throat, great way to lose weight, but i have a WOW! i had the same size serves, did have red rooster, but went halfs in a fish and chip basket with a friend, so no burger or no bread, and shared most of my chips with my brother, he's a growing boy, i also had a chocolate eclair, normal size, yummy, a very nice one, and i enjoyed it, took me 10mins or so to eat it, but i savoured every bit of real cream! also instead of cake i asked for mini cup cakes, that way if i had 10 it may equal a normal slice of cake, plus enjoyed some with icing!! pink and purple. unfortunatly my throat started to hurt again and i couldnt face a bbq, but had salads with extra mayo, heres the best bit, i actually lost weight, i am hovering 12-13kg!!! i am so happy!! i should go home more often, i think its a sign!! im planning to in the middle of next year, but want to get to 70-75kg to get a new job. has anyone else noticed the unofficial discrimination of obese people? were they would rather employe a slim or healthy lookig not as trained person, compared to an over weight well trained person? its not spoken off, does anyone else agree? well i going, need another coffee, i was awoken to find that i have 1-2 or more birds in my roof, and i live in a block of 4 townhouses, they are making such a racket, i hope everyone else is a good sleeper or have ear plugs!!! until the nexxt time, take care sus

hey everyone, i get next fill on the 10th of november, as soon as i come home from my holidays. i found that afterwards as in my first fill i could no longer eat lettuce or rocket or sprouts, just crunchy stuff. so im adding either snow peas or sugar snap peas, both have the same amount of calouries. im day 5 today in being sick as, i have strepraccoccolus in my throat, the doc reckons i got it from work, i would agree!! i have to have panidiene forte just so i can take my drugs, ive put myself back on the liquids and hydrolyte icypoles cos my throat kills all the time!!! at least the antibugs liquid isnt too bad!! so in the space of 3 days i lost nearlly 3kg. so it brings my total now to 13kg, considering i wont be exercising this week, i can hardly breath normally, let alone having p.t! anyways hope everyone is well. sus

hey everyone, hope everyone is well. i did a double shift at work last night so 18hr, 10 hours double time so an extra 500-600 bucks. i thought i would write and tell everyone how i felt when i was up past my bed time, makes me sound like a 2 year old! i got hungry, and they give you food, almost the same as the airplane food!! i had one of those sandwich made into 4 triangles, ate the bread throughly and no pain, but also and i really enjoyed it, baked egg with fruit custard, hmmm yum. my mum used to make it. so i figured i was hunrgy, the food was free and a treat, i weighed myself tonight and only put on 1.5kg, so im happy with that. i am determined this week, to go to the gym 2 times a week, eat as perfectly as i can, so i can lose 5kg by the end of the month when i go home for a week to see my family back in geelong and also see the david strassman show, it will be good, my 3yr old niece when she grows up wont remember me as her fat aunty, and make my nan and pop proud, and me so hopefully when i decided to have kids i can be on the right drugs so i can have kids, but as ive been told there are alot of kids out there that need a home and love. sorry for my ranting and raving, i suppose we all have reasons and i just wanted to share mine, being 28, turning 29 next month, im not going to be 30 and be over weight, healthy weight instead!! be good and take care everyone, until the next time, and i think having the fill has deffiently helped me sus

hey everyone, days on, well i now feel no differance, not as hungry, but i can still eat and it doesnt matter if i totally dont chew things to liquid. it doesnt feel any different in the mornigs. it is a weird pain, a large needle, you lay on your back and do a mini crunch, and he just pokes it in and no band aid or anything! weird, he will make you drink some Water after just to make sure, and felt weird, but woke up fine. it was weird that night i drempt only of junk food, weird! apart from that, nothing else to right home about, he just enougraged me to keep up my walking anyways actually tea time see yas later

Hi Sal, i got 3ml put in, in 2 months, lost 6kg. but today, totally sad and depressing, i went a month ago cos my big cut was red and infected, and of course the girls weighed me then, so this month i have put on point 1 of a kilo! my own fault, not exercising enough, but hungry and eating to big, and told him that and he said after 6 weeks put more in, had to have soup for tea, probley had 50-100ml of soup and not hungry!!! for the first time since i started eating!! stoked about that, and i can actually palpate now were my band is. he told me to go liquid today and soft tomorrow, so by tommorrow night back to normal i think! oh i have a goal, im currently 117kg, when i get to 100kg im buying a necklace, they look terrible on me at the moment so havent worn one or even found one that fits!! so thats a good goal, something i want! since 2pm when i got my fill, i have had soup and 2 coffees and am perfectly not hungry, so weird, yesterday, the same circumstance getting home from work i would of eaten, and had no problems with taking my drugs. has anyone found recipe books for us special peeps? ive been hunting but only found the occassional recipe but nothing exciting! no i dont have kids, been single for a long time, actually since i moved to hobart!!! but the weight is my embrassing isssue! but i would love to have kids later, im a career women. so when i move back to the mainland end of next year or early 2011 i want to get a retired grey hound, they are so cute!! and love cuddles!! and prefer to sleep the whole day than anything else! i recommend the wii fit to everyone, no matter what stage of fitness you are, it has something for everyone. i havent woken up yet to find out if its tight, i only finished work tonight at 10:30 and its 12:20 in the morning. i was just so excited and had to tell people who would understand what it feels like to all of a sudden not feel hungry and put back on the right track!! my neck is better so booked in for p.t again and must get my arse really into gear!! anyways goodnight everyone keep smiling sus

hey sal, first of all as soon as you mentioned milo, i wanted some!! my nana used to make it wonderfully!! heat the milk on the stove even! perfect, that and how she prepares the hot cross buns, sorry couldnt help myself!!! i agree, i brought the book, it has confused me more than anything!!!! as in i thought bugger this!!! they should figure it out, the nurse i had post-op, said the other surgeon lets the pts have ice, but wilkinson wont, despite him saying it in his book on the second page!!! although i was lucky i had to drink to take my drugs, so needed it!! the book is nothing but trouble!! but being totally nieve and they suggest it and only $20, thinking more information, but nope, i wouldnt reccomend it!! i too am very impatient, having lost a tincy bit of weight i am just almost wanting that 60kg to be off when i wake up tommorrow!!! it drives me nuts and totally insane sometimes!! im at home with a sore neck, so havent been to the gym this week, i go to all aeorbics and have pt once a week, but when my neck feels better ill get back on the wii fit and do some step and boxing, my favorites, if you dont have one, i highly reccomend it, but at 28 im also a very big kid at heart still!! anyways, congratulations on the weight loss so far, on the days i dont exercise i have the wonderful steps to play with just to go pee!! i hate living in a 2 story house!! anyways, massive digress, i hope your kids get better soon and stay healthy, see yas sus

im so happy that i have helped in some way!! just feel were you port is, how it doesnt feel the same as the rest, easy to go, what the? sorry, got reminded of what the of roves 10th b'day show the other night. if you have any other questions, just ask, did you have a barrum swallow? if so have a look, and you will see a little circle when the white stuff goes down. take care sus

hey, thaat pain, farting? the only way to clear it, i asked hime about it in my 1 week follow up and he said just the gas, thinking, wonderful!!! trust me, even 2 months on, you still get the occassional stomach ache, and need either to go to the loo or have a massive fart!! but hard to tell. i hope your recovering well, yep dont jump!!! what are you drinking? found anything nice you like? i lived on up and go, despite the more cal's but more filling, especially when your starting to feel hungry. on friday i get my first fill, and am happy about it, cos im stuck at 116kg, cant break it!!!! yes, i have or am more insane than before! i think it will help cos im eating to big amounts and am very hungry inbetween and dont want to have to keep reling on cordial and coffee with extra sugar!!! but only a couple more days, hope everyone is well and let us tassie peoples stick together!!! and continue to be here for each other take care sus

im the other way, im 28 now, and when i was 12-13 yrs, i was started on drugs for epilepsy, which have a great side effect of weight gain, and of course the more you weigh the more drugs you need, great being a teenager at an all girls high school, nothing was said, but im sure there were comments behind my back, plus im an emotional eater, before high school i was a normal i guess size, many 5 kg heavier than everyone else my age, but the drugs are for the rest of my life. if anyone questions you, simply a)your on a diet b)your really sick, and cant eat much c)stuff on your mind d)just tell them, and ask them to respect your privacy were i work there are 120 nurses, most to almost nearlly all know, which i dont care, i had people saying best of luck and good for you for doing it, even compliments after 5kg, shocked, at 116kg, the only difference i see is that the stretch marks are more white as apposed to red, if people have issues, thats their problem, its your life, your body, especially your life!! they may even have a back hand comment about the band, saying its lasy or taking the easy way out, its crap, i was thinking about a lapband, and the parents said do alot of research but they are behind me 100%, so from thinking that they only eat a tomato, to finding out its a massive life change and they have to work much harder than other people on diets its only if you lost too much weight and looked gaunt around the face they might ask about drugs, but stay healthy and she'll be right sus

cos it doesnt linger for very long, althogh it must seem like forever, but sensitive, how much longer do you need to have it for, and have you spoken to your doc about it? heparin is really thick stuff, so yeah speak with your doc post haste sus

ive been on the depo for 8 years, and got banded 2 months ago, during that time, no bleeding, spotting, cramps, anything, the weight loss is from the junk ive eaten!!! you shouldnt be bleeding at all, can you get the pill, implion? just think of all the money you have to waste on tampons! talk to your doc!!! sus

maybe we could contact weight watchers, they might know a points value, or evn have we thought about the saturated fats? what if they have had pinapple juice, is it then higher in sugars? even if it does taste better, i think more research needs to be done, ill ask the prime minister for a grant!!! sus
