Okay random, I've been on this site how long and only just found this post? Lol. I'm in brisbane as well, bayside and was done in May this year, the weightloss has definitely been slow for me but I knew it was always going to be like that as I'm on medication that actually makes me gain (gotta love docs) hmm so what else? Only my family really know I've had the surgery, although small victory for me yesterday - Had to go to the pharmacy and get antibiotics cuz I'm sick at the moment and the lady there who I've known since like 6 or so was just like "sarah you've lost weight" lol. As I walked out I said to my mum that it freaks me out when people are like "oh you've lost weight" because I automatically think omg do they known I've had it done? Lol, stupid I know but oh well lol. Anyway do any of you catch up? I hate that yahoo thing because it's not set out properly so I refuse to use it lol

Do you or have you ever used Motrin, Ibuprofen, etc, while banded?
Sarah.R replied to Carriedaway78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are worried, maybe ring you surgeon and ask him his opinion on it, honestly his is the best to go on because he would know more about the band -
Vitamin water ....V. Isopure
Sarah.R replied to NouraShuman's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Honestly I can't help you out because we don't have isopure here in aus and the vitamin water is a waste but I will tell you this - The vitamin water is basically a waste of money, they say you gett vitamins and what not in the water when you can easily drink free water out of a tap, the nutrients/vitamins are just going to be expelled when you urinate anyway so why waste the money? -
Questions about Subway Post Op!
Sarah.R replied to chatty826's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Up until my 3rd fill I was still eating a 6" - I just had it toasted twice so that it was eatable, in saying that - My band has been strange with me, things I should be able to eat I can't and things I shouldn't be able to eat I can, it's annoying and confusing. With subway just make sure you eat it slow and chew heaps, for me even though I could eat the entire 6" about 3 bites before I was finished I'd suddenly get really full really quick - Just ask the people to toast it twice so it's really crunchy -
Need help with Stage 2 foods
Sarah.R replied to Astrasmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc said, whatever my family eats, just blend it and make it a little more sloppier which I did, saved me heaps because I didn't have to go buy just for me, but in saying that I had alot of mashed pumpkin with gravy - Also one word of advice - Don't blend chicken, it tastes chalky lol -
Hey Tegan - Congrats, last time I weighed was last wednesday and my doc said I've lost 3kgs since last visit so by my count that's around the 16kg mark I think, my weightloss is super slow though because of my medication =( What about you?

Lol yes the stockings are the MOST attractive thing I think I've ever worn in my life

Will You Be or Have You Had The H1N1 Shot
Sarah.R replied to GraciesMom's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Great, I woke up with a swollen throat this morning =( Technically I am the MOST at risk, I'm overweight, I have a lung disease and I'm on immuno supressant medication but I won't be getting it. Mainly because this so called "vaccine" has been out less than a month so how does anyone know the side affects of it? -
Hey! Yeah not too bad, weight is slooooowly coming off but at least it's coming off =) At the moment I'm sick which usually I would absolutely hate but the plus side is that my throats so sore I don't wanna eat anything lol
-
Well I decided to have a late lunch so that I hopefully wouldn't need to eat until dinner, had a ham and cheese toasted sandwich, cut into quarters ate about a quarter and realised it wasn't going anywhere fast *rolls eyes* so after being stuck for about half an hour had a cup of tea and then ate some noodles for lunch about 11.15 so that's all I've had so far, as for dinner no clue yet.

Usually the reason that they call you cheaters is because there jealous themselves because they can't have it and really how is it cheating when your going to be able to keep off the weight instead of gaining it back like you would if you where using a fad? I hardly call that cheating
-
Yeah I had the exact same issue, for me it didn't really get any better until I think the 3rd fill which significantly reduced my food. Up until that point I could still eat a quarter pounder from mcd's so I definitely know how you feel.

11 days post-op and eating TOO MUCH!
Sarah.R replied to gkilpatrick's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Honestly we all go thru it - I even went to Mcdonalds and could still eat a quarter pounder - Imagine my dissapointment about that - But now I can eat maybe 3/4 of a cheeseburger and just feel like I'm about to burst and I'm 6 months out. Just try to be realistic about this entire thing, like the second person said get used to chewing your food heaps and cutting it up really small and not drinking with meals, because when the time comes that you do hit the sweet spot and your not used to that? You're going to have alot of issues - Like me who always gets stuck after a fill and is in pain for about 2 hours - SOOOO NOT FUN lol =( -
Are you sure that's the same person as in the other photos? Cuz you look amazing!!! -
Uhh I wish I could help out but even when I did have clothes before they where kinda bleh if you know what I mean - Now that I'm on the way to skinny and beyond (hopefully) I'm definitely in need of nicer clothes though lol

What Age Were You When You Got The Lap Band Surgery?
Sarah.R replied to MsFab1988's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was meant to have it like early last year when I would have been 20 and then it changed and I was meant to have surgery 6 days before my 21st but I got it when I was 21. Yay -
Honestly I don't excercise - right now I don't have the motivation I guess. It definitely sucks and I have started walking like once or twice but overall I really need more motivation =(

How do you feel after your fills?
Sarah.R replied to thebandedgirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I feel normal, actually I hate getting fills, only time I haven't had issues with a fill was the very first one, but every one since then, everytime I go to eat the next day after the 24 hours liquids it ALWAYS gets stuck. I know it's my fault and not eating slow and taking too big a bite but it always happens =( But on the bright side I found out I lost 7kgs in 2 months last time I went to the hospital =D YAY *7kgs is 15.4lbs for the americans =) -
OMG I completely forgot when your date was =( Congrats!!!!!!! =) It definitely sucks when you get something stuck =( It's happened to me a couple of times now, still not used to it but what can you do? So how's everything working out for you now then? For me work is pretty good, have about 2 weeks left where I am and then I basically have to go back looking for jobs again which sucks but it's given me "experience" lol

I read everywhere that after the band you should eat the protein first but does anyone know any websites were I can find out which particular foods are protein? I mean I only know 2 and I think there probably wrong - Egg whites and chicken. I eat salads and vegetables with dinner almost everynight so I know I have at least something healthy but which foods are protein? Thanks
