slimmy120

Thanx for all your advice, yes it makes sense, out with the old clothes, well as you said majority of them. Best of luck on getting pregnant again, hopefully a girl this time eh?

I noticed i need to keep a tally of my calories, and excercise helps, but sometimes i get slack on both, but nop going to keep at it, and reading what others do is so motivational, thanx to all.

Have gone from a size 22 to 14, getting to 12 soon hopefully. Trying to get preganant, which of my old clothes and what size do I keep, Friend said the trousers are no good keeping as will too big in the legs? What size tops, dresses, skirts etc do I keep. Or do I just keep jackets and tops?? confused as dont want to spend heaps.Not pregnant yet but practicing to get there,practice is fun.

I am in Perth wa,and we definately had to go and pay ourselves, one of my friends who lost 75kilos was told that there is no way we would get done privately, and that when we lose weight it is the sam(tummy tuck,arms etc.) do you have any ideas as how and who they saw in wa, as we all interested, my mum wants to get done, and no way she could afford either, we all spoke to differing gp's too.Thanx

Well I think mine must stick up as when I lye down it protrudes high, will roll and show dr when I go again end of May, have no pain, but concerned.

Gave in and had half then another half of a melting moment biscut tasted so good -- but kept thinking that is after i ate it , didnt need that nothing tastes as good as slim feels, oh shivers, just pick myself up again and will get back to healthy eating, having corn silverside and veges - cooking at moment for dinner.

Thank goodness there are only rareties(or however you spell it- Just got home after busy day, sorry mental block.)

Was 15 thousand all up, but after what medicare paid for anethisist, and my health fun paid for hospital stuff was $9thousand, then each fill is $265.But i think was well worth it, had to make a choice new car or new me, guess which one i chose.I spoke to my doctor and she said had to be morbidly morbidly obese as in around the 300kilo or so before govt would look at it, and then about 5 year waiting list if you lucky.

I had my band placed on 18th sep 2007 , starting weight 102kg have lost 28 kilos now, but the last 3 months lost 9, so i think equates to how you losing, at first didnt lose much compared to everyone then vola did, then slow again, dont know why, sometimes if i did not eat much would not lose as much .Keep at it as i am to, yep depressed not losing that fast now, even put on a little some weeks, but in the end we will get there!I am 5 ft 4 by the way.and female.:regular_smile:

Sorry the anethesist part of that was covered, but boy did he know how to charge. But still it was well worth it.

No i am in wa looked into it, had to pay for myseld, had other friends who are on health care cards, supporting parents same for them unfortunately.

:tt1:I had very few problems with vomitting, i eat slowly and chew , chew , chew. I have read a few notes on these boards , i was told to eat slowly and chew every 25 times. What was everyone else told, Hope this post helps the people who are new, and who are going to get the lap band.

No I can eat bread, everything, I had my fourth fill 7 weeks ago, and only sick 2 times, and not very bad - once i ate a banana without chewing and too quick, the next time at sandwich too quick and did not chew enough. I have been banded since 18 sep 2007 and lost 28 kilos so far.

How are all the Dr Tony Keirth patients from wa doing? How long have you been lapbanded how much have you lost? Having any problems. And comeon sKottt tell us all the good new your loses and how they have made you a new person!!

Anyone heard of any places in western australia like aa but help you with the cigarettes - normal cigarettes??

Yep the weightloss may start getting slow, but i am trying to up the excercise, and as long as it goes down down down weight wise in the long run is all that matters, i look at myself and see how far i have come since sep 2007, lost 28 kilos but only 9 of that in the last 3 months but i keep thinginhg hey wow that is still brilliant isnt it?? Just got to keep going and going.

It is the weekend and i am not at work, i know on the weekend dont drink that much water, so maybe that making me hungry, maybe should keep myself busy, god knows there is lots of house work to do, but i like to catchup with my sleep because feel so tired. Today I at 2 protein soups, 5 corn thin crackers, 2 slices of low fat cheese, small tin of tuna in oil, 40g packet of nuts and sultanas, and one pear. Did i eat too much, and shivers it is only 5pm here in Australia.

I like you technic and you seem to be doing well so will try the stp wait fives minutes then see if i want more.
