I'm the same as deano, my problem was quantity, not quality, and also a LOT of carbs. And laziness too. I think a lot of our food is deceptively calorie dense, like an individual pecan pie from a coffee chain is equivalent to your entire days calories, and I would probably have 2, plus an iced coffee with ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
And it's not the Vegemite that makes us fat, its the 2 loaves of white bread we put it on a day, with butter and cheese.

What's the best liquid to purée a cheese burger in? gravy or cheese sauce?

And how long does the 3 week stall last? I haven'tlost anything in the last 45 minutes and I'm worried I've failed!!!
I know that I can't drink fizzy drinks, but if I wait til my vodka and redbull goes flat, that will be ok right?
And I also ate a KFC family feast for dinner and I'm worried I've stretched my sleeve, how can I tell?

The three week stall lasts 3 weeks. You haven't lost anything in the last 45 minutes because you haven't had a poop. Vodka and Redbull is fine as long as the bull isn't too big and you'll know if you stretched your sleeve if you can still fit in another KFC Family Feast.

The smaller you are, the quicker you change sizes. Ie: it will take a lot of lbs lost to get from 20 to 18, but it will only take a few to go from a 10 to an 8 and then before you know it, you're in a 6.

I couldn't understand the "reversibility" of the band, like "ah, this skinny thing isn't really for me... I think I liked being fat and unhealthy better. Take it out!" Why would reversibility be a good thing unless there was a high rate of revision caused by complications?
Bypass and DS were too extreme.

Just saw my NUT for my 6month visit. Waiting to see the psych and the surgeon, but receptionist and dietician were floored with how much weight I've lost. Was 56kg on their scales and told the nut that yesterday I ate a snack size bag of popcorn, 1 lamb cutlet, a tablespoon of sweet potato, 1/2 cup of green salad, 4 prawns and 1/2 a slice of Black Forest cake.
She said that its great that I don't need to feel guilty about eating "special occasion" food and to go for it, but only on special occasions.
She asked if I'm still actively trying to lose weight, and you know, I had to think about it. I am not trying to stop losing, but obviously, if I'm eating cake, I'm not going too crazy trying to lose.
I'm only low in Vitamin D at the moment so need to get more sun.
I'll keep you updated if anything fun or interesting happens with the psych or the surgeon, but so far, its all good.

I have no idea why the band is even offered anymore. It seems barbaric to me. The fact that its reversible is a big selling point for it, but if it was successful, who would want to reverse it? Went to my clinic today and the people that were banded the same time I was sleeved are either at the same weight or more than at the time of surgery and have been making visits every month for adjustments. I'm at goal and getting on with life while those poor fools have got years of finding the "sweet spot" ahead of them.

Hhmmmm.... You guys all keep your scales in the bathroom? I keep mine next to the fridge, in the kitchen. I jump on the scales every time I go to the fridge or pantry and then decide wether I should eat anything or not. My scales have a name, its "I-hate-you" because I call it that every time I see the same number or god forbid, an increase.
