    I have been a bit quiet recently, so here is today's update! Had 2nd appointment today with nurse, didn't need a fill, I had lost 3.5 kg the last 4 weeks, which I only thought I had lost 2 kg, so the nurse was pleased and I am sometimes struggling with food, so I didn't feel I needed a fill either..........I feel a bit that it isn't much to lose, but know I have to do it slowly, how do the rest of you feel, are you losing weight at the same rate as me............

    Love Amourette!!:confused:

    Glad to see you still on here, sorry you are having difficulties with your fills, I was wondering even if you are hungry, have you been losing weight in that time..........? I had my 2nd visit today, didn't get anymore fill, as I feel I am still coping with the fill I have. I only lost 3.5 kg this last 4 weeks but I know I should be patient.

    xxamourette:D

    You look great Eficka, and you look so much happier also.........I must get my photos done also.......except I took the first in underwear and regret it now , hahaha!!!

    I have an appointment on Monday, I fitted into my denim skirt this last week, but I think she might give me a small fill as I haven't lost much on the scale. i am off to Atlanta to see my sister, and want to look good for that, she doesn't know I have had it done, but I will probably tell her, as I think she is pretty suspicious anyway. Also I had a photo last week, and I could see cheekbones, yipee! And I need a smaller uniform for work. I could do better though and get more exercise!

    HOw is everyone else!?

    Hey Picardy it is nice to see you around here...............our first official bandster!!!!

    I am fine everyone this end, had my first fill, feeling ok, but have to be careful what I eat, 'cos a lot of things are hurting to go down. I am back flying now, just done my second trip.........bellies bloat a bit in the air and I am having to be careful about putting things into my mouth without thinking........and ended up in the toilet a couple of times not feeling good.

    Have put away the scales for now, as I was over-obsessing with the numbers, but need new trousers for work now and just fitted into my denim skirt again, very exciting, wish I was eating a bit better now!

    Lots of hugs to everyone

    Hate to be a party pooper, but why would you all want to make a Soup with cream and butter , they are big no-no's down where I got banded, I wasn't even allowed cans of soup, or 98% fat -free as they aren't necessarily healthy.........oops meant cream and butter big no-no 's anyway........taste great I admit, but there are ways to thicken your Soups without this! Just don't want you guys to jeopardise your diet goals!!!!:omg:

    Disneynut you are right.....isn't it amazinf how time passes, and how nervous we were all to the countdown of the days till surgery!

    ROBERTA, please let me know where you are going? ARe you off on holiday!

    So all I had my first fill on Thursday, which I hadn't expected, couldn't keep anyting down for Friday, went to Singapore Monday till Wednesday ( don't forget we are ahead in time zones here), ate reasonably well although I was worried with the altitude, was fine on board, but on the ground back at home today couldn't even keep hummus down, I read someone elses thread that said the band can change from day to day.....I am starting to believe that!

    I am not looking at scales anymore, hope you guys won't do the same either and focus on better, healthier food.< /p>

    Will let you know how the flying goes for me.......interestingly enough after 6 weeks surgery, I found it difficult to bend up and down and put dirty trays back into the cart, should get better soon.

    Waiting to hear from you all, I think we should get the June chat goiing soon, any takers!?

    Amourette XXX:)

    Roberta I don't know about the flyng....but I was due to fly today and he preferred I didn't.......but I will go on Mondyay............I think I will only get a fill when I have a few days off on the ground to get used to it, isn't it funny how all our bodies are different, I am not hungry at all again, couldn't get down the chicken dinner I had prepared for mum, had very bad sliming, so back to liquids today!!!!

    EllenVick, I felt exactly like you about 2 hours ago and have just got back ffrom my 5 week check-up, he gave me an immediate fill and told me to stop feeling guilty and down about the hunger and eating. I am so elated now as I have something to look forward to and had no time to think about getting a fill.................hang in there, you aren't alone! Do u have an appointment time?

    Thanks for the kind words, well I feel better now, I just had my 5 week check-up and he did a fill right on the spot for me........I was spluttering away..........saying what now? Kinda good maybe as I didn't have time to think or psyche myself out. He said this is why I am hungry, yes I know you all told me hehehehe!!! So I get another weekend off and then can start flying on MONDAY, am pleased as it is my mum's birthday so I can spend some time with her..............So I am hoping this week will be better..................I feel I have something to look forward to, I am one kilo off being under 100kgs...........

    Hugs to you all

    I have been a bit quiet lately..........I have been moving house, what a nightmare, especially when I can't lift heavy things........I have had to do a lot of 'supervising' instead!!!!!!

    I go Thursday for my check-up, I don't think a fill is soon for me either........my tummy is still very tender, and I feel this weird lump in my throat, hope it is just my imagination! I have stopped weighing myself, I have decided it isn't worth it at this time......so I put the scales away. I will resume when I get my first fill and things start moving again properly. I don't have much restriction and seem to be able to eat anything, so have decided I will have to get a nutritionist who works in this area to help me.

    Other than that it is very rainy and miserable down here........lots of storms!:rolleyes

Feeling a bit down!
