Hi Matilda, how are you doing? Hope everything is ok with you. I have lost 58lb so far and I am ok with that. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
Take care x

do you know what I found? I had a chest infection and couldnt exercise for two weeks and that rest re started my weight loss! I am not back at the gym and its going ok but I think my body just needed a rest. And they say a change is as good as a rest. I also agree that a change in your eating habits will help. Try eating something different. Good luck honey x

Hi my fill was a bit of a nightmare but at least it resulted in great restriction at last. I am struggling to eat anything but the weight loss is still quite slow. I am doing ok at weight watchers. I have lost 10lb since joining and I have found the support really useful. Hope you are all doing well? I will have a flit around and check out all your profiles. I also started a new job this week. They dont know about the band and I'm not telling! Its nice to have a second chance. Plus they dont know that I have lost over 50lbs so they are not always telling me "well done". I can start again.
Keep up the good work people "hugs" to all x

Hi Everyone, Ive been MIA for a while cos there is lots going on in my life at the moment but the band is almost doing nothing. I have lost 48lb but most of that was in the beginning. I am joining weight watchers next week. I need structure. My next fill is on the 3rd of Sept. And I am supposed to have lost another 8lb by then!!!!!
Hope you are all doing well and experiencing great restriction.
Hugs and good luck to everyone xxxx

Hi Joanie, good luck for today I hope it all goes well. You will do great.
Check out my blog if you get a minute. I have made some fantastic band friends and they are the best support system in the world.

Hi Sammy, So sorry to hear you are suffering. It's so hard when you have pinned all your hopes on this and it doesn't work as it should. I really feel for you. I am really struggling too. I lost a lot of weight in the pre op and right after surgery but its slow going now and I didn't lose anything for 5 weeks even though I didnt eat more than 1000cals a day. I am seeing my Dr this Friday to ask for another fill. I only have 3ml in.
Check out my blog for if you have time, you might find it helps.
The Incredible Shrinking Woman
I have found some other bloggers who say they didn't lose anything until they had the band nearly full to capacity. Hang on in there chick. You will get there in the end. xxx

Hi Matilda glad to hear you are well. Only PBing twice is great, I do it about 4 times a week. And its usually the healthy stuff that does it, like tuna salad.
Hope your second fill went well. I have an appointment for the 18th of June to have a chat and maybe a fill. Still only lost 39lb total so its pretty slow going but I started a summer challenge today in blog land so maybe that will spur me on.
Keep up the good work x

Hi Tina, I was feeling positive after my fill but I havent lost any weight even though I havent gone over 1000cals a day. I am going to contact the doctor on Monday. I will let you know how it goes. Boo to hunger! Just hang on in there until June x

Thanks! I feel so good. You sound like you feel the same too. Do you know this is the first time it actually feels like a lifestyle change rather than a diet. We can do this you know. Yay us x Oh and get pics of the suspenders (you know they are something completely different in England right???) :wink2:

I know! Where has everyone gone? I guess they were all hyped up but are now busy living with the band. And I find if I am not doing well I dont feel like commenting which is not good because it makes people think its easy all the time. Which it is NOT! Anyhoo if you want you can catch up with me on my blog at The Incredible Shrinking Woman

Well done on the weight loss! One der land check you out. I am really pleased for you x

Hi Matilda so great to hear from you! 45.1lb is fantastic! You must be feeling the difference now. I had my fisrt fill on the 23rd April. I could only manage liquid for a week but didnt lose any weight in that week in fact I gained 4lb! But I am eating small amounts now and fingers crossed the weight will start to come off. I am VERY nervous though. I have still only lost 32lb which is only 14lb post op. I hope it starts moving this week and I have upped the exercise so that should help. Some things have got stuck but its mainly because I didnt chew enough. Its hard to remember to slow down but you soon get a reminder. The full feeling is very different to pre band isnt it? I havent tried chicken yet but will do today. Good to hear you are doing well, take care x

Hi Matilda how are you? How is the weight loss going? Are you restricted, eating and losing? Would love to hear how you are doing.

The band is doing it's job, but I am not....
bubbalouieuk commented on julie.ann's blog entry in My Secret Journey
Julie Ann I wanted to tell you that you are and have been for a long time, my inspiration. I read your blog when I started this journey and watching you succeed really spured me on. To hear you have down times, emotional eating issues and stressful problems to deal with shows me that you normal like the rest of us yet you still keep going and succeed. You have helped me so many times (even though you didnt realise it) I hope I can do the same for you. The emotional hunger really is the hardest to beat but keeping occupied helps especially if its something that has nothing to do with food. Like blogging or going to the gym. I hope you and your family are doing well, I'm thinking of you x -
How are you doing Jane? Hope everythings going well and wish you all the best x

Hi Matilda, I hope you are doing well. I had my first fill today so hopefully it will be the end of Bandster Hell. Even though I didnt gain weight I definately suffered. But now I am super restricted and so ready to get started with the weight loss. I would love to hear how you are doing.

I am now 4 weeks and one day post op and feeling like I am in limbo. The initial euphoria of having the band has worn off and so has the pain and restriction. I can eat anything but not the same large portions as before. I am striving to be good, only succeeding if I avoid all temptation. Everyone has gone a little quiet on the web site and I was wondering if that means they are doing well or struggling and not feeling as positive as before. :ohmy: I hope everyone knows we are non judgemental and supportive and here to help each other. :wub: I hope I am not the only person that is finding this tough going. It seems like such a long time till I get a fill and I want to be able to kick start this journey now. The sun is shining and summer is well on the way and I want to get on with it.:frown:

Come on Sammy, tell us how you are. Good or bad we will be here for you. We are not all doing great, some of us are struggling and wondering if we did the right thing. Thinking of you x

Hi Elleaitch, over 6 stones, thats fantastic! I bet you feel like a new woman? And you are still losing? I'm not too stressed about losing the weight fast but at the moment I dont feel like I have had anything done at all. I can eat anything. But I am hoping once I have a fill it will start to work. How many fills have you had? I am so happy for you. You are right, seeing others succeed is a great incentive. I am looking forward to next year when I can maybe say the same

No I hadn't even thought of that! What a good idea. Not sure what the pics would look like while I am struggling though. I tend to think scrapbook pics need to be nice to look at but I havent really expermented with telling a story. Are you scrapping your journey? Any tips would be great.
