Wanting Melbourne contacts



Recommended Posts

:tt1: live in Melbourne, inner north. Bandered Oct. '07. by Paul Dumbrell. Starting to lose my focus, feeling isolated . Would like to make contact with others in Melbourne for a bit of a yarn:tt2: and mutual support, compare and share experiences. Anybody else feel the same? I'm glad to have found this site , not great with using this technology :bolt: but having a go.

There is a girl called Kim who has her own website dedicated to her Weight Loss Journey, it's pretty amazing, I have been following her journey for awhile.

She may have some great contacts for you as she particpates in health weekends etc which a bunch of other lap banders and they get together regulary from what I read. They are all in Melbourne.

This is the website: On the bottom of the main page of the website, you can send her a message and im pretty sure she will reply. She updates regulary.

Thanks Ange05, I had a look at Kims website. its great! She is very inspirational.

Hi Melanie,

I would love to catch up for coffee and share experiences. I live in Brunswick. I am very new at this form of communication so I have a bit to learn. I would love one of those Weight Loss Ticker things. Where and how can I get one?

Regards Mary.

If you go to ozband : ozband - oz support group for wls its a yahoo group for people all over Aus who will be/are being/ have been banded. There are also individual groups for each capital city. You don't need a yahoo email account now, just sign up with your own email account and you'll be fine.

I will be in Melby over xmas for a week catching up with family (born and bred, now living in Brissy). Happy to get together for a coffee with people while I'm there.

Hi Alison, nice to make contact. How are you going with your weight loss? I have put on a little over Xmas but want to get back on track. Although I live in Brunswick I am house and dog sitting in Kensington at present Until 21st Jan. 09. So my access to internet is spasmodic.

My email address is marstel100@hotmail.com. Please email me so that we can chat. It may take a few days at present for me to get back to you because of my living arrangements,but things will be back to normal soon. Are you free to meet during the day or at work? Look forward to further discussions.

Regards Mary:thumbup:

Hi Mary,

Yep.....all done now!! Got home today and am feeling good, just a bit uncomfortable which is to be expected.

Going to take baby steps over the next couple of days.

Hope everyone is well!!

      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.
