I think sometimes in our journeys we have been too alone and thats why we fail. With lots of support anything is possible, the right guidance, the right remarks and the right advice I wish you the very best of luck dont hesitate to contact me if u want a chat

thank you crazy4myk9 I have spent so long feeling like an ugly caterpiller and I knew inside was the butterfly just waiting to break out and fly free. The thoughts of not having to think before going places -can i fit in the chair -are the isles big enough -will i fit through the turnstile -how small is the toilet cubicle -will the seat belt do up in that car Life is about preparing for things but it will be nice to do things that others take for granted they can do everyday!!!

Heya Tater I was banded on the 5th of feb. Im still in a lot of pain but I am still so happy to have the band!!! i lost 19 pounds in the 2 weeks pre op diet YAY its a huge decision but so well worth it good luck hun heres to lots a weight loss

Hey yellowrose I ate like there was no tomorrow after I first went and saw my surgeon. I knew that my life was going to change dramatically I already knew I was an emotional eater and I knew there was going to be a time where I had to stop and go ok if you keep going you are never going to show the surgeon you are serious about this!!! for 2 weeks before banding I think I did the best "diet " of my life. High protein, low carbs and stuck to it like glue except the last night before banding I had an hamburger and chips coz I knew I could never just go order that again......I used to even play games with myself lets see how fat the fat girl can get, sad thing is I was piliing on the weight and not even noticing properly, I was looking through myself rather than at myself. This was my last chance at losing and keeping it off. Yep ive lost 50kgs at one time but life in general and bad habits and a body that was destined to be over weight from birth made me see that this was my chance at healthiness, contentness and an ability to finally control myself and my habits!!! I was banded on the 5th of feb it was the biggest and best decision I have ever made and now my kids will have a mummy who can run and jump and play with them Good luck in whatever decision you make hun Ky

ooooooooooo awesome to see some more aussie gals n hopefully guys here thisledo im doin it tough too compared to some people who I have spoken to guess thats what god gives us :thumbup: we will all get there in the end no matter how it started Hi she smiles awesome weight loss congrats!!!!!!! looking forward to talking to u all on here Ky

Hi hi Yes yes thats right its kgs not pounds 3 months ago I would of sighed but now I know I will never see that weight again!!! I started 3 weeks ago at 196kgs. I lost 9 during the pre banding diet now I only have 117 to go....well thats my goal of 70kgs. The doctors goal is 100kg but we will see It seems like such a long way and I am so prepared but having some support from others with a big weight loss in front of them would be great!!!! I was banded on the 5th of Feb now I have my friend my goal doesnt seem so daunting. Id love to help anyone else that needs a bit of support and a chat whilee shedding their love handles!!!! :thumbup:

Hey nat I am a disability support worker...I was having a hell of a time when I had to go on optifast pre op. In the end I couldnt do it coz It was making me sick and making me go to the loo which was not good when I was out with younger children!!!! My dietitan put me on a high protein very low carb diet. first three days were hardest but I could eat non stop. I was still aloud cheese n meats n salads n all veg except for potato. If I wanted bread I bought mountain bread and there is also a high protein low carb bread you can get from one of the natural shoppy things lol I also lived on the JOLS lollies n Jelly (I have a massive sweet tooth) after 4 days I didnt feel hungry or headachy and I coped really well at work suprisingly If you can try start so that your second n third day arnt at work that would be best Day three was my killer!! I lost 10kg in 2 weeks doing this before my banding YAY!! Good luck hun

Good luck girls Waiting I think for me was the hardest although I did only have to wait three months from the time I saw the surgeon to being banded. BUT it comes n hits u on the butt so fast and ur packing ur slippers for hospital thinking this was only a dream yesterday!!! Where is aust are you both. I know im just new to this but if i can help or you got any questions fire them away.....I didnt have very much support at first and its nice to talk to others who understand where youve been where u have stood still and now where you are going to and thats doooooooowwwwwwwwwwwn for us gals hehee Heya Lilo We are friendly me espesh atm coz im on a liquid diet therefore cant bite hehehe!!!! hope to talk to u more soon Lilo I send ya lots a hey mates from a sunny Aussie house Ky

Hi Bonniep I am lucky coz I have gone straight onto full fluids although today is the first day I really feel like them. My mum made me some chicken soup, beef soup and a potato soup. I have had the potato soup once and its divine they are all very very thin. I was told I could have chicken noodle soup without the noodles and also vegie soup without the vegies. My mind is sending me stir crazy today hubby cooked hot chips for the kids all i can think off is mmmmmmmmmmmmmm fat!!! some of the people I know have made up ice blocks and they get to bite the ice which helps your mind think ur eating not just drinking. Just keep thinking of how much settled your pouch is gunna be from not giving in!! I saw one lady on another web site on day 5 hada fillet of fish im like WHAT whay go through all this too then stretch the pouch then its useless!! Hold on to me bonnie ill sip with u girl!!! good luck Hey Michelle I hear you!!!! I think my pain has come rom not sipping slow enough I wanna huge big belch lol Its hard when your used to running a house hold and now ur rendered useless til u can bend again(i cant bend to save my life it hurts wayyyyyyyy to much) When m active i dont think of eating as much man this could send ya insane!!! Goodluck Michelle im here if u wanna chat its good to go through it with other people coz they really know how u feel Ky

I was 187kgs at banding. I have a lonnnnnnnnnng way to go but I have a goal of 70kgs myself. My doc has a goal of 100 so we will see who is right haha I am still very sore today and cant wait til I can start exercising and concentrating on getting this weight off Hope to talk to lots of you here :glare:
