Hey, If you need someone, I was banded on the 15th of december... Im 20yrs old and I live in NSW. would be happy to help your research. =)

Hey guys, A recipe i have not tried yet but cannot wait to post op! It uses a slow cooker. Cooking times vary depending on your slow cooker so probably best to use the skewer test to see whether its done. ENJOY! Ingredients: 40g (1 1/2 oz) fresh bread crumbs 4 garlic cloves 3 rosemary Springs, leaves removed and chopped 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1.5kgs (3lb 5oz) chicken 200ml ( 7fl oz) Chicken Stock 200ml (7fl oz) white wine Serves 4 (or probably 8 bandits lol) In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic, rosemary and lemon zest to make the stuffing. Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat dry with paper towel. Loosely stuff the body cavity of the chicken with the stuffing, then tie or skewer the legs together to secure the stuffing inside the chicken. Put the stock and wine in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from heat Put the chicken, breast side down, in the slow cooker and pour over the stock and wine mixture. Cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a skewer. Carve the chicken into pieces and serve with steamed buttered potatoes and green vegetables if desired. Prep time : 40 mins Cooking time: 6 hours

Lizzy you and I share a surgery date! only 10 days to go!!!! are you on a pre op diet? I am and its going rly well im so excited with the weightloss and know its only the begining

i have to add my 2 cents here and say that it is alll about confidence! at close to my heaviest weight I went out and started talking to guys and was confident and would meet someone each night and my skinny and drop deap gorguess friend would ask me how i did it... At about 40 pounds lighter weight, i wasnt confident and was trying to get attention, met no one and had a series of horrible nights till i decided stuff it, im just going to be myself, and have a great night with the girls. That night, i met my current partner, who I am about to get engaged to. So hope that helps you =)

Im getting my lap band in december...SOOO Excited Im 20 yrs old, need to loose half my body weight (weight 138kgs and i need to be about 65kgs) I am looking for a buddy who is in their 20s and who is around the same stage as I in their journey. Also, determined, focused and keen on starting to exercise. We can cheer each other on!

lol whatever works i guess

hey, Im being banded in December and I have the same worry as you. But i definatly agree with the above, that Leslie sansone is fantastic! loooove her videos, if you go on exercisetv.tv you can see her style of video and if you like them, you can download or buy them. I really like how positive she is and its all a gradual thing... Her videos are easily personalised. you dont have to do everything she is, you can add weights and increase them and then increase the distance/time you do the workout for. her box set is on my wish list for christmas cause at the moment i have one of her workouts on my computer and i love it. getting right back into it. Just wake up a bit earlier, do it and it will give you energy for the rest of the day, boost your metabolism and help your body turn your food into energy. Best of luck!

Hey, Im about to get the lap band done, sooo excited. But I dont know what to tell my BF's 8yr old son who lives with us. I don't want to give him the wrong impression and him and his dad joke about him being overweight (i definatly dont approve of this joking). Any ideas from parents on what they told their children, he's a smart kid and I dont think he will be fooled with much.. hes turning 8 in november

hey, Im really worried about this problem too but there are a few things you can do to help this. Bio Oil, I dont know if its available in america, is used primarily for Pregnant women or those who want to reduce the apperance of scars or uneven skin tone. What it does is it makes the skin more elastic and has some healing properties to it. There are alot of cheaper creams on the market that have elastin in it. or anything that would be used by those who are pregnant to reduce scars while their bellies are growing as this makes the skin more elastic. It works in reverse too. it will tighten your skin. Also Flaxseed oil is a good inner body way to tightening and rejuvenating your skin. Water of coarse helps with the excess skin. and exfoliating your skin daily works as well. Unfortunatly exercise only helps to fill out the skin with muscle... although it does send messages to your skin to become more elastic in order to incorporate this new muscle i doubt it will have such an affect with the amount you have lost Congratulation by the way! thats a fantastic loss! I would (and am currently) exfoliate every morning (or evening) in the shower, moisturise your skin in the morning and afternoon, take flaxseed oil once or twice a day (the packet says 3 times but i only take it twice) and drink as much water as you can to hydrate your skin... Best of luck and once again congrats on your weightloss!

Omg i love it! Thats a fantastic idea! Im in australia so Im so going to copy you and do it myself! Just with a map of Australia. Thank you so much for your idea, Its fantastic!

Hey guys, I was just wondering, What part of the chicken contains the highest amount of protein? I only eat White Meat, What is the type of white meat that has the highest concentration of protein? And of coarse which one has the least calories/fat. Thanks for all the help:thumbup: -Lynn

I am telling people, that i went to my doctor and he said that i could either get this done, try dieting again and hope that im in the 7% of people my size that loose the weight and keep it off, or i could go on like i am and get diabetes. When you put it like that with statistics and options, people seem to understand alot more how hard it is to loose weight and keep it off, give them the 7% statistic. its a higher statistic of people who loose weight on diets, but only a small amount of people keep it off... Im sick of dieting and with my behind the desk job, its really a no brainer decision. Good luck and happy banding

You guys are fantastic! I was prepared to wear the ring as a necklace for the time it took me to loose the weight. I didnt even know there was ring resizers out there! We've decided against the ring we originally wanted because if we do get it resized the two bits of metal that come up to the diamon (but dont actually touch the diamond) would get all warped out out of shape and wouldnt look as nice as it does. So we're trying to get a ring made for us from my mum's friend who makes jewelry. Try and avoid the hefty mark ups jewelry stores have. Im going to show my soon-to-be Fiance these ring snuggies, what a fantastic idea!

Hey Guys, Im getting banded in december 09, but i want to get prepared early, What should I buy over the next couple of months to get myself ready for life as a Bandster? And what should I keep in my cupboard or bridge at all times? Thanks all.:seeya:
