Well have I been feeling sore and sorry for myself with the infection and broken wrist and repositioning after the assault. I weighed myself at the docs last Wed and I had put on 4 pounds....hmm kinda expected that. I had been drinking lots of sugary drinks....WELL what a week can bring you there is noooooooooooooooooo way that I expected to of lost 18 pounds just over 8kg but i have in exactly 7 days I have reached my first major goal of under 150kg and my first minor goal since repostioning of 149kg. I could do a sumersault. Needless to say I am grinning ear to ear today and feel so much lighter for it!!!!!!!!!:smile::biggrin::biggrin::mad:

On the 23rd of March just before repositioning this is what I wrote new goal. Posted 03-23-2009 at 11:44 AM by Kygie Tags Going through this rebanding has made me rethink just where I want this journey to be taken too. I was thinking at one stage I would be happy at 100kg BUT I won't be these are my new goals.... I am being rebanded on the 25th of March soooo I am going to give myself some rough time frames to hit each goal and realistic time!!!!! I am 153kg/336pds 1. 149kg/327pds - 25th April Anzac day I offically am today 147kg/323lbs and I am over the moon. I have reached my first goal 17 days before I expected too. OMG.

restriction wats that lol!!! I think everyone panics but your right you wont know yourself once you start having fills. Im lucky my doc goes straight in next week and ill have 3ml into start. I only needed 3.4ml in total hope the sweet spot is as easy to find!!!!

Hey miss jennibeles I do feel better. Im not in pain fromthe wounds just feel slow with the infection but i feel great i had a lil savory mince for brekky its so good to feel it goin down with no trouble. My weight loss has stopped but that happened to me the first time. Once I can star exercising ill be on my way with a bullet hehe

Heya laptastic, I was assaulted at work and with the swelling and throwing up the band slipped BIG time. I had it repositioned with a bit of pulling and tugging and snipping lol!!!!!

Well Day 12 after my bump in the road. I took some piccys yesterday and its amazing at the loss already. I have redfined how much I want to lose and I have my mini goals. I am starting to feel somewhat normal. I still have the infection and I get tired fast but i'll get there I feel so much more positive today than the last 12 days :wub:

Hey chickies, I was repositioned on the 25th of March and I have had endless problems, lots of gas, pain that was unexpected from having stomach muscles cut during surgery and now an infection but oh my god am I thrilled to get going after this bump in the road. Good luck ladies I wish you all the success in the world xoxox

Ive got mine posted too!! but I had lost 95 pounds before repositioning so i have some during as well....I am stoked

Heya Im on day 12 of repositioning...Ive been miserable as I have had lots of gas and now an infection that wont go away BUT I had already lost 95 pounds and If you look at my pics I put up today they are amazing I don't feel or look like the same person. this first 6 weeks are the hardest and then comes finding that sweet spot but once its found woooooohooooooooo good luck for your journey xox

Hey everyone, I was rebanded on the 25th of March and just wanted to catch up and see how everyone is going. The first 6 weeks or so is the toughest!!!! Im so proud of all of you and look forward to getting past my bump in the road and going forward and losing all my weight!! good luck xoxoxox

oh god im 12 days into my rebanding and I still get that feeling in my chest up to my shoulder. there is nothing like de-gas or I think its called gas x in USA. Make sure you take em even if you think you don't have gas boy u will be surprised!!!!!

Hi Hi just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Im still feeling rather slow but getting there slowly. I hope you are all doing well. xoxox

Hey hey How is everyone going. I still feel pretty slow I guess is the best word. I have great doctors though that are looking after me. I think Ive put on a lil weight but im carrying some fluid in my lower body and still lots of sweeling from the infection. I hope you are all doing well xoxo

heya jennibells!! I just saw my doc and and ive been on antibiotics since Mon but today he could see one of the internal stitches coming through the wound so we need to keep an eye on it. Its horrible starting all over again isnt it. I think im not too hungry coz the infection has me a bit queasy so maybe in disguise its a good thing lol take care hun xoxo

Hi Ann I was actually assaulted by a client at work. I work in Menal health and she had a meltdown that resulted in me being assaulted for 45 mins before help arrived. She is a very sick lady work didnt protect me very well so here i sit with a repositioned band and a fractured wrist. I just can't wait to hit that sweet spot and get going again you are a true inspiration!!!!!! xoxoxox

Everything should be pretty much going straight through the band, this time is about healing and having scar tissue form over ur stitures and ur band not so much weight loss or feelling full. that comes as you have your fills and you have solid food sitting in the pouch giving it a sense of fullness. I worried first time round the same thing, that something was wrong coz i wasnt instantly full. Believe me if you remember to chew your solids and eat slowly you will feel yourself getting full once you are on solids. The foods you have in this first 5 or 6 weeks you will never really have much again because they will never keep you satisfied good luck

My band was repositioned on the 25th March and this time has so not been a walk in the park but its surgery where they blow air into your cavity to make it easier to get to your stomach, they move your liver to get to it then they play silly buggers with your belly. Im in ALOT of pain with gas and soooooooooo not a lady when I release it in Australia we have degas tablets, they are the best invention eva!!!!! By the afternoon im sore and tired and a lil cranky but in 12 months with my band i had lost 95 pounds so its more than worth the pain now!!!! You definately will feel hungry because you have no fill and the day that sweet spot is found is amazing. It only took me 3 fills to get there. I'm not too hungry but when I do get those low growling damn I want real food pains I have a drink of water, milk or cordial. The thing is very soon you won't feel that hunger ever again. I got to the point that I was eating for fuel not just coz of emotions, boredom or the taste (although u appreciate taste in the small portions you have) I wish you all the best of luck and a pain free and healthy weight loss xoxox

On Monday I went to see my GP as my wounds didn;t look great. He said I have an infection in at least one of them the others seem ok!! No wonder I have still been so sore. I went onto mushy kinda foods yesterday....luckily I guess I know what I can and can't eat at this stage so I have been keeping full, unfortunately not busy though. My mind is going insane having way too much time on my hands to think
