Corn thins are good, and vita wheet 5 grain crisp bread, nuts, boiled eggs, toasted - must be toasted raisin bread or rye bread toasted.

Oh thank you so much for that info, was getting real concerned $$$$, will talk to doctor down the track, and health fund. thanx xxx

Have been reading on here, but was told otherwise by my doctor that can have lapbanding done free. is it the same free for tummy tucks, ecess skin cut of arms etc.which doctors do it in perth, my lap banding cost me an arm and a leg, but was well worth it.:thumbs_up:

Weight watchers has a community board -- it is basically the same as this board.

Why is it the weeks i have low fat cheese, i lose very little or not at all, doent happen if i have chocolate or anything else, just with cheese and stay within my calories??:thumbs_up:

All the best when bubs comes,then you will be real busy, think all the extra running around. All the best.

Thank you will go and check that out now.

When at less, didn't lose as much.

Thanx for the advice, and hope all goes well, how exciting, first one? mine will be when eventually get there.

I have had 4 fills, but now concerned band may have flipped, back to doctors end may, 28 kilos so far since 18 sep 2008. Once you start getting fills makes the difference i think, but gosh have to really motivate self to eat healthy as stop eating so much now.

Yep happens when on machine, will discuss with doctor then, thanx

No more liquid type breakfasts thats why hungry mid morning, going to have food - well solids.

I have found that if i have four bean mix drained and wshed and tuna in oil, with a bit of the oil drained out put salt and pepper on it, sometimes add tomatoes fills me up, and enjoyable to,any one good any other food ideas that help them too?

But today i had one of those elephant chocolates after my lunch, and 6 of the little honey comb type sweets with chocolates around them, but uped my exercise walked 45min instead of 30, and healthy eating again tonight, just got to make certain dont get into the junky snacks habit again, but that is up to me got to think hey this is not good for me, think the weight i will put on if i do this everyday instead of once and a while.

Thank you, good to know i am on the right track, and thus not setting up for a let down.

Please if someone from australia, if tummy tuck , and the saggy arms, legs, breast can be covered under medicare, if so how??

I try to use my walker, the one where you move arms and legs forward and backward, but truley hurts at back of my legs, am 71 kilos now, i can only do 2 or 3 minutes, but can walk 40 minutes to hour easliy? do i need magnesium, do i just need to push push push myself working up that extra minute every day, people use for half an hour or so. what am i doing wrong, tried warm ups first, different times of day, but still 2 or 3 minutes does it.

I have set myself goals and mini goals, i try to lose 1 lb a week overall. Has anyone got to goal how long did it take you? and how much did you lose? is 1b to 2lb a week realistic - averaging it to this over each month? Just thinking where will I be at new years eve, where will i be at this time next year. where will i be on 18th sep 2008(year after initial lap band)28kilos or 56 pnds down so far.:Dancing_wub:

You look great, tell us how much excercise , 3 meals or snacks as well, what are you eating during your day? Share, i got banded 18 sep 2007 and have lost 28 kilos which is 56lbs. Please share be an inspiration you are looking fantastic!!

Yep, thats why i was thinking best show the surgeon what happens when i move,so he can actually see it, but cant get in till late may, gosh long wait, but if i think getting alot worse will ring and talk to him over phone and see if he can fit me in earlier.

Hey Janet thanx so much for your pep talk, it will stick in my head, i was excecising and not snacking but when i dont excecise guess what snack snack, yet i tell myself snack with good food which i do,well getting on my treadmill, if you help one person on this site it was me thanx, god bless.

I started at 102kg and have lost 28kilos since 18th sep 2007, and i am on 1200 to 1800 a day and fairly little excercise.

Virtually never snacked in the first few months, but after reading your posts and as my doctor says, drink water, maybe you not really hungry you firstly got to start doing that again. All the best everyone, keep on track.
