Hey, I read you got banded in may 09 - same as me, just wondering if you've had anymore success with losing weight? If not try not to stress to much

Sarah

Hey, sorry I haven't talked with you much, been busy with work and that doesnt really leave me much time for anything else. Yeah it's set me back but not as much as i'd thought, the doc said he put 2ml's in but i still feel like i did when i first got this all done (eating that is) and he said that I don't have another appt for another 3 months so thats a pretty annoying, I was going to ring and make another appt but Ive been working and dont have time so its freakin p*ssing me off - GRRRR. Lol. So enough about me how's everything been with you?

I got it from city chic here in australia, they don't sell it anymore and I would actually send it to you because it doesn't fit me anymore but the elastic is gone on the arms =( There website is www.citychic.com.au and they actually have some really nice stuff, just like torrid for australia.

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?

Yeah I know, I felt the same but then I realised - All those pics I took of now and before, they're my post op pics and my progress ones - I'm just gonna keep getting better and that's the way you need to think as well!!!

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

Lol thankya - Where are your pics so I can say how pretty you are as well?

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

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.

Hey congrats with surgery =) Let me know if you have any issues

10lbs, congrats =) Yeah when I went on solids I was just like drooling lol, was so good after the whole postop liquids crap lol. I think I lived on like kfc mash and gravy a couple of times - Bad but oh so good lol.

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

As in weightloss? Pretty slow actually, it's kinda depressing lol. I guess it doesn't help that work leaves me no time afterwards to go for walks =(

Yeah money is always good, the bands doing good, had a bit of an issue at work on friday because of some reheated noodles so definitely won't be eating those again =)

Just watch, the next few weeks are gonna fly by so quick and then you'll be freaking out cuz it'll be the day before surgery =) Yeah I work now lol, only til october - it's kind of placement work but it's a job so I'm not complaining =) At least I actually have money now, it's nice lol.

Really? Congrats =) When's your date? Are you excited? And do you have to do a preop? Lol. Sorry I haven't been talkative too much, been busy working and hardly come on here anymore =(

I couldn't agree more. YOu hear about people saying "oh i just pb'd" and here I was thinking oh it must not be that painful - Yeah it is lol =(

Aw thankyou - It's tempting to wear it but I need to find some good tummy sucker underwear lol.

Hey Sarah, I'm only on the liquid diet for 24 hours afterwards which is good compaired to some others. I just tried to eat some pasta bake and I got seriously stuck and had my first pb - It wasn't nice. I was sitting on the bathroom floor crying and contemplating calling 000 (same as 911) thankfully it passed but I know now - If I'm hungry no matter what - Eat slowwww, was the worst pain ever =(

Hey Holly. Have you heard any more news about your surgery yet? =)

Hey. Yeah I'm kind of at a standstill with my weightloss which is a bummer, but I've walked twice and need to start doing it more so hopefully it'll go off a bit quicker lol. 8ccs is definitely drastic and the annoying thing is I thought I would have maybe a little restriction for ages which I did but it only lasted like 2 weeks =( Luckily I go for another fill next week=) So how are you going? Have you heard any more info since your appointments?

Hey Balk, are you okay? You didn't seem yourself earlier in the chat room and hope everythings okay with you.

Mmm lovely. You just made me gag from that - Congrats lol. I guess it's not like an average cold where you can have lozenges and it goes away hey? Feel better!

Post nasal drip? Never heard of that, but I don't think I had one so that could be why, I agree with you tho on the restriction coming and going, it's definitely weird and it depends on what I eat. I find if I don't get full the first time I can still eat afterwards which I probably shouldn't do =( Like last night I had some fish & chips for dinner, cooked the fish myself so it was healthier lol. And I was full for like an hour and a half, but as soon as I drink again, it's like it just goes straight thru, frustrating much? It's great that you're looking into gyms, I've been walking umm once =( And I'm definitely bummed about how much I haven't lost, but I know it's my fault, just need to start walking

Hey! So far so good thankfully. Had my first fill on the 17th last month and was worried I was going to be too tight but wasn't so thank god for that lol. But I still have no restriction, which I expected but it still sucks lol. How are you going so far? I see you've lost 25lbs so far? That's awesome =)
