I was starving again today....need to keep busy...I still only have about 1/2 cup portions but I had a little extra snack (More puree fruit) during the day! Took a LOT of willpower not to try and find more.

hehehe I wish!! No I went from when I started the journey or made the decision to band...in the time between that and the preop I lost 2.4kgs = 5.3lbs(this took a month or so) then I lost 7.4kgs = 16.3klbs on the preop...since surgery I've lost 5kgs = 11lbs

I got scrambled eggs slightly stuck on the weekend and tonight a bit of fish...must not get distracted whilst eating...the scrambled egg was a uncomfrtable and only took a minute to clear...te fish was more painful and took a few minutes to clear...no vomiting though. Must remember to chew mushies even!!

I had it once before no Problem I think I jsut forgot to chew it that little bit more...I did the same witha piece of fish tonight...I have to stop getting distracted!!! but the fish was painful and the egg just uncomfortable

Yep that is about how long I'm waiting!! Hope I can last!!

You've been exercising well though Lellow and are likely putting on muscle (and we all know the saying muscle weighs more than fat!) which long term you'll be happy about I'm sure!! Plus the fact that you started out with a lower BMI means you'll likely not lose as much as time goes on.

A scrambled egg was filling for me but this morning I had one not paying too much attention to what I was doing and I didn't smoosh it enough! I swallowed and it got stuck and I thought to try putting some liquid down to move it but that just backfilled! I thought I would vomit but luckily I didn't and luckily it only took a minute to move!! It was REALLY uncomfortable and I won't be doing it again, I mean I'll still have an egg just next time I'll be a little more careful!

OMG I can't believe your doc said that....what a way to encourage someone just starting their journey.

I am just over two weeks out and am feeling a LOT better. Staples are out and i only have about 5 more days of mushies before I should be able to start real food!! Yay!! Started back at work this week (well for two days anyway) and I have been VERY Tired by the end of the day. Concentration is a little skewy but I'll get there! Dust at work though is causing sneezing! ACK! Should be getting my first fill about 20 October which I can hopefully last until. Lost 1.2 kilos this week so as long as I'm losing and not starving I'll be ok :thumbup:

When you put it like that it is exciting...though I think that my real excitement will come when i reach 90kgs (7.2kgs to go) and below because i haven't been under that in about 9 years!!

SHOPPING!!! That about sums it up!

Congrats Nikki that is Awesome!!

I'm a Melbourne Bandster but hey at least I'm in the same country! Have you asked on the Australia bandster forum??

Wohoooo that is great Lellow!!! I lost 1.2 kgs this week (2.6lbs) I went for a walk (b/w 15 and 30 minutes) 5 days this week. each night I am going to tell myself I WILL LOSE WEIGHT TONIGHT! I'll see if that helps... Ate mushies in 1.2 cup lots! B/W 4-6 meals each day.

I hear you...I didn't lose for a few days and in fact I put on 200 grams and 400 grams then didn't lose for 2 days then I thought right when I go to bed I am going to think I WILL LOSE WEIGHT TONIGHT!! First night I lost 200grams and the second night 600grams. Maybe it works!

I hear you on the drinking!

My doc said people are different with what they can eat but bread is a not possible no matter who...meaning the white breads or bakery breads that are so fresh they could be re squished into balls of dough. you either need really well toasted bread or wholemeal/wholegrain breads that aren't doughy!

Sounds ok a few chews and it is mush anyway!! I had some white fish and chewed and chewed and it was yummy i had it with mashed potato with a bit of garlic salt through it which was REALLY tasty but the meal looked kinda icky because it was all white :drool: Just didn't seem right:lol:

It was ok. I have been very tired though by the time I get home. I have been trying to move a bit more because sitting in a chair can get really uncomfortable after a while! But hey an NSV I've been able to fit into a pair of pants I haven't worn in probably 1 year or more!!:drool: I've also been feeling a little sick by hte end of the day but that may be because i'm not burping and farting as much so I have it all inside by the end of the day! :tt2: Most people have made comments on my hair...probably because it is an easier thing to comment on (a bit blonder than previous colours and it was out and nicely straightened because normally I can't be bothered and put it in a ponytail ) I had two girls comment on how much weight I'd lost, one who knows and another who doesn't know which was nice :tt2:

I was HANGING for mushies and now I'm hanging for real food! I made a really nice vegie frittata in the mushies with all the vegies blended and it has lasted me for 4 lunches (which would have previously been one lunch) and it is SOOOO yummy! I also have loved spag bol (with pasta) and tuna mornay (with brown rice)(all from base ingredients coz it tastes better) and then blended to within an inch of their lives!

It is hard when you can't even make healthy choices at events/conferences! Well just think long term it will be gone!

Hope all is ok now!! I say if you are losing and are full after the 1/2 cup then why get a fill? I wish I was in the same boat! :thumbup: What size band do you have?

Well my days of being a woman of leisure are up!! i head back to work tomorrow :thumbup: What really sucks is right when i go back to work the weather is getting better and the sun is out shining (Tshirt and jeans weather! My favourite:cool2:) I am feeling a whole lot better especially since they staples came out. i just hope I don't get uncomfortable sitting up for extended periods in a chair. I'm going to have some painkillers and anti inflammatories with me to be safe (as suggested at my checkup). I'm back home now and it is nice being in my own bed...I spent the past few weeks at mums because A) she has Foxtel (cable tv) and :woot: she cooked meals for me and my dad :smile: I just hope work isn't too stressful, just before I went on leave there were some problematic collegues causing grief...I hope they have managed to pull their heads in and be positive and encouraging to my team. Well going to get my hair done (my roots are BAD :smile:)

HAHAHAHAHAHHA That is too funny!
