And I'm happy to come to Willy too if that's what you'd prefer. It's a pretty easy trip straight down the freeway.

I can do Thursday too though, will just have a 3 year old in tow.

Wednesday sounds great :) If Prahran or South Yarra is closer for you ladies, that's fine with me? I'm easy lol...

Wednesday's great. Is there anywhere for coffee near the Water in Williamstown? That might be nice if its warm. Otherwise, yes Prahran would be a bit closer for me, but I really dont mind.

Gosh, I'm over the 40 degree days at the moment.

*nods* Rotunda is great, as is Sirens on the deck, for the views :) They do a nice salad or anykind of seafood there too.

The current forecast for Wednesday is 28 (nice!!), rain in the afternoon .. but that shouldn't effect us.

Jacqui, are you familiar with Williamstown at all? Rotunda and Siren's are both right beside the Willie public beach.

My mobile number is 0407 043 863, incase anyone gets lost or can't make it or whatever. I'll be outside near Sirens at say, 12ish?

And if ya'll know anyone from other message boards that want to join us, the more the merrier :)

Yep, my SIL lives in Newport so I know Williamstown enough to get there and find the place. I think it would be nice over near the Water and a bit quieter than SY or Prahran.

See you there!

Hi to all,

I live in Melbourne and am new to this site (I just registered today). I am absolutely thrilled at the idea of catching up with other people in Melbourne who have had the band. I had my band at The Avenue Hospital in May, 2004. I have lost 55kg, but at least another 15 to go (If I am aiming at 70kg... sometimes I dream of being lower than that.. but heck, at the moment I would be glad to be below 80kgs (that was my goal by my 2 year mark, but at the moment I have stagnated and it appears a bit unrealistic).

I can't make it to a lunchtime activity because I have to work :( ... But please keep me in mind if you plan something in future - maybe I would be able to take some flex time.. or maybe outside normal working hours?? (although I know this would be difficult for those who have kids).

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself briefly and say that I am very excited to have discovered the site!!

Cheers,

Kaysha.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
