Hey, Shall check out your pics Meredith. My eyes look so squishy in this photo! I did warn you all it wasn't a pretty sight! Susannah

Hey, here I am sideways!!!!! Can't get it to turn. I will work on it. Susie:biggrin1:

Hi, How do you download a photo for your avatar? Thought you may like to see who you are talking to. Warning it's not a pretty sight! :biggrin1: Susannah

Hi Molly, Welcome. Join other Aussie's on our local Australian support forum on this site. Scroll down further to where it says Australian Local support. We are a friendly bunch. Susannah in Melbourne

Hi Girls, Sorry to hear about the job Bron. You just wait, you will show them but good!!! I had a bad day yeaterday. I felt so shakey and weak. A combination of having MS and being on the liquid diet. I am doing well with it , I am a little bit proud of myself . I am definately getting a boob job down the track. More money to save I guess. Susannah

Hey Meredith, my brother and I were in Canberra last year and I thought what a great idea it would be to cruise Lake Burley Griffin in August! It was bloody freezing, but we sat up top of the cruiser and laughed and had fun!:biggrin1: Susannah

Hey, I reckon Bronnie is going to give her surgeon the date that she wants! Yesterday!!!!!:biggrin1: Susannah

Hi All, Bronnie I chose my surgery date. My surgeon's secretary just opened up his diary and told me he operates on Fridays and to pick any date I wanted. Susannah

Hey Wanna Be Thin, it feels good to have control over food doesn't it!!! I am also on the liquid diet and am feeling less hungry now than I did at the start.:hungry: :biggrin1: Susannah

Hey, I am so glad that I just finished my period. One less thing to have to deal with on surgery day. That is actually a legitimate thing to think about when scheduling a date for the operation. If you can plan it around when you don't have it, or manipulate it's arrival then you will feel much happier to be sure! Susannah

Gday. I am getting banded in less than 2 weeks. I have Multiple Sclerosis which is a disease of the nervous system. Funnily enough I do not have high blood pressure, high blood sugar or any other problems. Susannah

Gday gals, Welcome She Smiles!!!! Jacqui well done on schlepping the Water outside. People actually dob others in? What is this the Salem witch hunt? It is vital that we all cut down our usage, but I am getting a bit ticked of with the hounding going on. Private usage is actually way, way less than industry and Government usage! Banding update: The hospital called me this morning to go over my admission forms, and to give me a rundown on what will be happening from start to finish. Yay I get to wear the paper undies! It's all happening.:biggrin1: Susannah

Hi Jacqui, I love muffins also!:biggrin1: At least I will be able to have a slice of toast. That is enough for me. Susannah

Hi All, I am looking for an guy older than myself ,(36) who is a happy, sensitive and caring person. I do not need a control freak or someone who is angry all the time. I don't know that marriage is really my thing, but I want to have a baby/babies and live with a life partner. Don't know if my perfect guy is even out there. Susannah

Hi, Imho means, In my humble opinion. Susannah

Hi, Fabulous,funkadelic, freaky, funloving February bandsters!!:biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Hiya all, In Australia Optifast is available at Pharmacies/chemist shops. That is no good to you though. Something funny has happened for me on Optifast, My body has become accustomed to it now. I am no longer ravenous, without the use of any appetite suppressants. Have lost 5 kgs (11 pounds) so far in 10 days. Keep up the good work everybody.:clap2: Susannah

He Fee and all, I am assuming those not from Melbourne can also chat on this thread? Chat away Sydney siders and sand gropers etc etc!!!! Susannah:biggrin1:

Hey Bronnie, I have 12 sleeps left.:biggrin1: Meanwhile something funny has happened, my body has adapted to the Optifast. I have stopped feeling ravenous and all without the aid of any appetite suppressants. Lost five kilos since starting, and I am going to go out hard this week to lose some more.:clap2: Susannah

Hi All, Louise you are right about Australia leading the world in Lapband surgery. We having been doing it a long time here.:clap2: Susannah

Hi All, thank you so much for all your feedback here. Jack you are so funny! I love reading your posts.:biggrin1: I guess I need to keep my eye on the bigger picture being getting healthier and happier through getting the weight off. Susannah

Hi Sharyn, That is fantastic! What an acheivement. You should be very proud of all your efforts.:clap2: :biggrin1: Susannah

Hi Stacy, I feel for you, I am going through it also right now! I have to do it for three weeks! I am craving a peanut butter sandwhich. I am determined to get through this, and travel the road others have travelled successfully before me. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! :) :biggrin1: Susannah

Hi Jo Ann, thanks for your input. I will just have to deal with it I guess. The benefits of the banding will outweigh my cravings I guess. Susannah

Hi All, I am getting banded on 02/02/07. I absolutely love bread and feel depressed at the thought of not being able to eat it anymore. I could care less about giving up chocolate,fast food etc, but bread? Not even one slice a day? Susannah
