Sorry I'm still getting the hang of this!
I'm 118.6kg can't figure that out in lbs on my phone sorry!

I was "banded" the 30th June and everyone in the June forum is going on about a one month anniversary- so I figured I'd join the "Julypians"... Like Olympians... Get it?
Anyway- its been 5 days since surgery, I'm from Perth, Western Australia. I had a good surgeon but am feeling what others seem to describe as "stuck" where food is just not going down so I am going from puréed foods back to liquids tomorrow.
I've already lost 3kg and recommend to anyone who is getting "the blues" like I did today to hop on the scales for some confirmation that you've made the right decision.
Anyway- I'm looking for some regular email contact with someone here who is sharing the same journey. I haven't told my friends about the surgery- just my parents. So an really lacking in support and encouragement.
Anyway- best of luck to everyone for your upcoming surgery and please let me know if you would be my buddy through this exciting and scary journey.

well apparently the band doesnt hate you. it saved your life.

Thanks guys
1. No he truly gave me nothing. No paperwork except for nurses instructions on the bandages.
2. I am only on liquids! Have been ever since my first post when I realised I was doing it wrong. Maybe I drank too fast.
3. No there is no email address. I'll keep trying to call on Monday.
4. Not sure if the photo loaded properly but it doesn't look like hand marks from moving- plus I moved from bed to bed on my own.
5. Yes I finally found a WA support group on Facebook- I can now see if they know more about my surgeon!!
