  7. Poor thing, it really does hurt!!! But it's a good hurt in the long run. Take lots of pain killers, it's worth it. Did they advise u to see a dietician after the first fill. But take it easy, don't push yourself too hard, u want the muscles around it to heal properly, so do everything they say. Thinking of u
  8. Hey can u send me your email, so we can chat and support each other cause u sound like my twin. Ha. I think I'm back on track, took me 2 years to work it all out, I've now lost 8 kg after putting all my weight back on to when I had my band in. Having my band too tight just made me fatter

  12. Love talking to overseas people, but would love to find an Australian buddi to talk lap band to
  13. Hey there where r u from, I'm from Australia, how long have u had your band and how much weight have u lost. I have had mine 2 years and only now starting to really work out ow to use this tool. I had no support after getting the band. So had to work it out. But I think. I'm finally starting to get it. chocolate can still be bait of a problem. Would be great to hear from u
  14. Would love u to be my mentor Steve. I live in Australia , when I got my band done there was no support, u were expected to work it out on your own. Operation done, now go off and sort yourself out. It's taken me about a year and a half to work out exactly how the band works. I lost weight then tried to be smart and went too tight and ending up just eating chocolate and protein drinks and of course put a lot of weight back on. I was so under nourished. Had no energy, now I think I'm back on track and can eat small pieces of meat, but still fighting that sugar addiction. So hard, and trying to give up smoking which makes me want more sugar!!!! Would love some positive advice.
  15. I too fell off the wagon and put back 20kg, now lost 10kg again, I found as long as I stuck to real food I couldn't eat much, so that's what I did and cut the junk out, I still have one or two small fun size chocolates cause I can't live without those, but mainly I decided real food, would love to chat more and keep each other on track
  16. Think I worked it out, but keep going on chat and no one answers
  17. Trying to figure out this forum chat can someone give me a tip on what I'm doing wrong
  18. Yeah I've tried chat, but no one seems to answer
  19. 68 lbs that is just amazing, how!!!!!!!
  20. That's unreal, I think I'll start my food journal again, it's the only way to keep me on track
