Hello Australian bandsters

I was banded in Perth Wednesday 05/09 and have used this site as my major source of info and support since I decided to go along this path to get my life back. I have been trying to get my profile to show me as Australian. The darn thing won't let me register without an American State!:tt2:

Can anyone out there let me know how I should go about registering, rejoining the forum or whatever so that I am listed as an Aussie?:wink::confused::crying:

Thanks a heap

Hello James, Ive had mine over a year ago now the first couple of month's are a little uncomfortable and a lot to get use of, I was just having mornay's & Soups but boy did the weight drop off..! the day i had it done i nearly dropped out so many times omg if it wasnt for the support of my hubby luke i wouldnt have done so! So im hoping you will have some sort of support with you on the day...everything will be fine, you will get thru this and wonder what your worrying about.....be proud, happy its the change of life we are looking for!! if theres anything your needing to talk about email me :)

      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.
