I LIKE YOU HAVE FINE HAIR AND AM MORTIFIED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING ANY OF IT, AM PRACTICALLY COUNTING EVERY HAIR THAT I LOSE WHEN I WASH/BRUSH IT...LOL I AM JUST OVER SIX WEEKS POST OP AND HAVE READ THAT IT STARTS NORMALLY AROUND THE 4MONTH OUT TIME AN CAN LAST UPTO 12MONTHS POST OP! THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT EVERYONE SAYS IT GROWS BACK SO WE JUST HAVE TO HANG ON IN THERE:nervous TAKE CARE AND KEEP POSTING:kiss2:

:whoo::whoo:HI KELLY CONGRATS ON JOINING THE BANDWAGON:clap2::clap2: I WAS BANDED ON 11AUG SO WE ARE AT THE SAME STAGE. HOPE IT,S ALL GOING WELL FOR YOU,

HI JP SORRY YOU ARE HAVING A BAD TIME AT THE MOMENT:cry DON,T WORRY IT WILL GET BETTER. YOU WERE BANDED 4DAYS AFTER ME AND I WAS TOLD BY DOC THAT THE FIRST 8WEEKS WERE ALL ABOUT HEALING AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT WEIGHT, WE STILL DO THOUGH RIGHT? SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS. YOU DON,T SAY WETHER YOU DO EAT THE LARGE PORTIONS OR ONLY FEEL LIKE YOU COULD.ANYWAY 17LBS IS FANTASTIC:whoo: DON,T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE LOSING WE ALL LOSE AT DIFFERENT RATES AND IT,S NOT A RACE IT,S A MARATHON AND WE WILL ALL GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER. KEEP SMILING AND DON,T LET YOUR FAMILY GET YOU DOWN YOU ARE DOING GREAT:clap2: GOOD LUCK AND KEEP POSTING.

HI EVERYONE AND THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS. TULIPSTAR, VERY INTERESTING STUDY YOU SAW ON OPRAH ABOUT THE WATER ISSUE MAYBE MY DOC NOT SO DAFT:think (ONLY JOKING DR ASHTON)...LOL I HAVE ALWAYS DRUNK LOTS OF WATER AND IT HELPS ME STAVE OFF HUNGER TOO THOUGH THANKFULLY THAT,S NOT AN ISSUE AT THE MOMENT. PLUS I HAVE TO GO TO THE LOO A LOT SO ALL THE RUNNING UP AND DOWN STAIRS MUST BE GOOD FOR ME:whoo: NOTE I SAID RUNNING I USED TO PRACTICALLY CRAWL UPSTAIRS BUT IT,S ONLY SIX WEEKS POST BANDING AND THE EXCERCISE IS KICKING IN ALREADY:whoo: TAKE CARE EVERYONE, SPEAK SOON.:kiss2:

I TOO KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE THE FAT SISTER/DAUGHTER. AFTER MY SISTER GAVE BIRTH TO HER SON SHE GAVE ME A BLOUSE SHE HAD BEEN WEARING WHILE PREGNANT SAYING "IT,S A SHAME TO WASTE A NICE BLOUSE IT WILL FIT YOU" I HONESTLY DON,T THINK SHE MEANT ANYTHING BY IT (WELL I HOPE NOT) BUT I WAS MORTIFIED TO SAY THE LEAST. MY MOTHER WHEN I WAS DATING MY HUBBY TO BE USED TO SAY TO ME " IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU LOST WEIGHT AS ADRIAN IS SO SLIM YOU WOULD LOOK BETTER TOGETHER":omg: DO THEY THINK THAT WHEN YOU ARE FAT YOU HAVE NO FEELINGS? I THINK THEY TRULY FELT THEY WERE BEING KIND OR TRYING TO HELP ME BUT IT JUST DROVE ME TO THE FRIDGE:cry YET IN THE PAST WHEN I HAVE LOST WEIGHT THE SAME SISTER WITH THE BLOUSE NEVER COMPLEMENTED ME SO MAYBE SHE HAD ISSUES OF HER OWN?

OH I ALMOST FORGOT, REGARDING THE 64 OZ OF WATER MENTIONED , ALL MY ADULT LIFE I HAVE BEEN AN ADVOCATE OF DRINKING WATER, I DON,T DRINK TEA OR COFFE JUST WARM WATER, (OR ALCOHOL...LOL ) BUT SERIOUSLY I THINK IT IS SOOO GOOD FOR YOU IN MANY WAYS. YET WHEN I ASKED MY DOC ABOUT HOW MUCH I SHOULD BE DRINKING HE JUST SAID "DRINK WHEN YOU ARE THIRSTY" HE SAID "THE BODY IS A VERY COMPLEX AND CAPABLE MACHINE THAT WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU NEED TO DRINK" WHAT,S THAT ABOUT? I THOUGHT ALL DOCS WERE KEEN FOR US TO DRINK MORE WATER?:rolleyes WHEN I WAS TRAINED FOR S/W WE WERE TOLD TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DRINK WATER AND THAT HOW SOMETIMES WHEN WE THINK WE ARE HUNGRY WE ARE ACTUALLY THIRSTY. I KNOW I GET HEADACHES IF I AM DEYHDRATED. SO I AM GONNA CARRY ON SIPPING LOTS OF WATER.

THANKS GAYLE AND WASABUBBLEBUT FOR YOUR COMMENTS, YOU ARE BOTH ABSOLUTLEY RIGHT. I AM HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING MY HEAD ROUND THE AMOUNT OF FOOD I AM NOW EATING COMPARED TO WHAT I USED TO EAT. I,M OK WITH THE AMOUNT I,M EATING NOW I DON,T GET THAT HUNGRY EVEN THOUGH I HAVN,T HAD A FILL YET, IT,S PROB PSYCHOLOGICAL CO,S IN THE PAST I HAVE LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT WITH SLIMMING WORLD I USED TO BE A CONSULTANT WITH TWO CLASSES OF MY OWN...! (WHAT WENT WRONG!) SO I KNOW ABOUT REFINED SUGARS AND SUCH AND HAVE EATEN WHOLEMEAL BREAD, WHOLEWHEAT PASTA AND BROWN RICE FOR YEARS, BUT STILL IN LARGE AMOUNTS. :hungry:SO ONCE I GET TO GRIPS WITH THE IDEA THAT I ONLY NEED A SMALL AMOUNT OF GOOD CHOICE NUTRIONALLY BALANCED FOOD I WILL BE FINE, :peep: THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

:whoo:FANTASTIC:whoo: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK:whoo:

MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE DURING THIS JOURNEY, HOWEVER IN THE PAST WHEN I HAVE LOST WEIGHT AND SOMETIMES THAT WAS A LOT OF WEIGHT HE SAID I WOULD LEAVE HIM WHEN I GOT THIN BUT NOT IN A NASTY WAY HE WAS JUST FEELING INSECURE.

COULD IT BE HABIT EATING LIKE WHEN WE GO TO THE MOVIES I USED TO TAKE MY BODY WEIGHT IN SNACKS, LOL AM 5WEEKS POST OP AND STARTING TO CRAVE SNACKS. I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE HEAD HUNGER ISSUE LONG TERM AND A FILL WON,T STOP THAT, I WILL ALWAYS BE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO HAS THE FRIDGE DOOR HALF OPEN BUT I HAVE TO LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT:help: HOW DO YOU GUYS DO IT?

:clap2:HI LISA, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE scales CALLING YOUR NAME LOL. MINE ARE UNDER THE BED AND ALTHOUGH I PROMISE MYSELF I WON,T GET THEM OUT EVERY DAY THERE I AM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES SCRABBLING UNDER THE BED FOR THEM:faint: BUT THE OTHERS ARE RIGHT I TOO GAIN WEIGHT EVERY MONTH AT THAT TIME! BUT IT,S NOT REAL WEIGHT JUST Fluid SO LETS TRY NOT TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT OR WHAT THE SCALES SAY, IT,S MORE IMPORTANT HOW WE SEE OUR HEALTH IMPROVE AND ALL THE BENEFITS THAT BRINGS, GOOD LUCK:kiss2:

I JUST BOOKED MY FIRST FILL TODAY FOR OCT19TH WHICH IS TWO WEEKS LONGER THAN I EXPECTED TO WAIT, BUT IT WAS THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPT SO I WILL HAVE TO HANG IN THERE! GOOD LUCK AND STAY STRONG.:kiss2:

I TOO HAVE KEPT IT A SECRET FROM ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. ONLY MY HUSBAND AND MY SMALL DAUGHTER KNOW ABOUT IT. JUDGING BY THE GENERAL CONVERSATIONS I HAVE HAD ABOUT BANDING WITH MY FAMILY AND CERTAIN FRIENDS THEY WOULD BE TOO NEGATIVE ABOUT IT THEY SEEM TO FEEL IT,S THE EASY OPTION:omg: WE KNOW BETTER DON,T WE?

HI HILARY:clap2:CONGRATS ON JOINING THE BANDWAGON! I JOINED THIS SITE LAST WEEK AND HAVE HAD LOADS OF SUPPORT AND INFO PLUS SOME GREAT CHATS WITH PEOPLE. I AM SIX WEEKS POST BANDING AND HAVE JUST ARRANGED MY FIRST FILL FOR 19 OCT TWO WEEKS LONGER THAN I WAS HOPING TO WAIT BUT IT,S THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTEMENT THEY HAD:cry I HOPE YOU GET AS MUCH OUT OF THIS SITE AS I HAVE.

WHEN I GET TO GOAL I PLAN TO HAVE A TUMMY TUCK AND BOOB JOB IT,S ALL ABOUT DOING WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU.
