I can totally relate to what you are both saying here- I've been at a maintenece wieght for about 8 mnths now.. But I am so happy its not gone back on- all I need to do is get back on track and put some effort in. I know its possible and I still love my band

Hi Guys- You all still out there? how we all doing? Happy with your new sexy selves? Vegas is not so far away now heh? :wink::w00t:

Hi there- I havent logged in here for months!- I'm at a stuck place with the wieght right now and am trying to get back on track. I live in Glastonbury UK- and am a Socila Worker.

Hi Guys- I'm still here.. and I'm, definately in Vegas in early May 2010- will definately suggest a meet by early that year- I have lost 2.5 stone since being banded in belguim in July (35lbs- or 15.87 Kilos) I'm very very happy with my band.. I'd loose more if I would just quit drinking wine at the weekends!!

I am back from Belgium - banded 9th July, feel fine!- cant believe that someone has apparently switched something in my head which has definately stopped me feeling hungry or obsessing with food! I lost 9lbs by the time I got home! and am realy happy - only a little uncomfortable.. and I recomend peppermint tea and fennel tea during first few days recovery phase.... Love to all M xx

Hey Capitolchick.. You might feel differently about large gatherings when you are but 'a shadow of your former self' See how you feel in 6-12 mnths.. ??:tongue_smilie:

Hi all I feel a bit like Dazzle1.. I'm on day 5 after surgery.. not much pain.. just feel as though I've been scratched on my, and its not really what you'd call 'tummy' is it, its a bit higher up... I'm just not hungry ! which is fantastic.. I have lost 9lbs since the day of the op! so I cant complain at all... Drinking lots of fluids without any trouble at all. Feel I need it.. and Our Doc started us on yogurt drinks and set natural yogurt for breakfast and clear soup for lunch.. I'm going to keep myself mainly on clears. for a week or so.. Buttoday added some protien shake mix to a small glass of soya milk for b'fast and took multi vitamins with fish oils, just becuase I'm loosing pretty quick!.. Feel ok.. will be going back to work full-time next week.. I will walk the dog later! :smile2:

Good luck for tommorrow.. Thanks to all who are chatting .. I'm gutted I cant take a lap-top.. but It would be a silly extra thing to carry home afterwards.. Still .. setting off tommorrow.. to Belgium, surgery hopefully on Wednesday.. wont be able to check back till next Sunday.. late! I'mm going too miss you guys!! Got couple of good books.. managed to get some medicine I needed in liquid form yesterday.. by the skin of my teeth.. GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!!!:tt2:

I'm still on the 'goodbye tour' realy... thought I'd stop all alchol for a month from tommorrow.. cut out the cigs from Sunday to Sunday (wear patches at least.. I know I can, so I will) and just cut out all carbs from Saturday (which is tommorrow.. so I guess that piece of toast I just had will be my last for a while) :thumbup:
