from other threads i have read, it seems you need to trick your body, it has been suggested to have a couple of cheat days, with no exercise and eating a litlle junk then back to what you were doing and it will kickstart your body again to lose weight. :thumbup:

i havn't yet started slowing down with the eating, its like last supper syndrome everyday :redface: need the time to fly by, will prob have to start the liquid pre op next two weeks aagghh!!

Hi all, just wondering if anyone out there suffers from psoriasis and if the band and good eating has helped, i suffer quite badly but have been on a low gluten diet previously and it seemed to help alot, thought that since white bread etc is quite difficult to eat once banded that it might be a cure of sorts :confused: anyones experience greatly appreciated :thumbup:

Debbie 100/60 blood pressure is more on the low side and if it is that consistently I wouldn't have thought you would'nt need to take meds, i'd go and get that checked.

that is quick, its taken me about 3 months. for the ticker, go to tickerfactory.com set it up then copy the url address and paste it under edit signature on the user cp.:thumbup:

Hi Lyndalu, I'm from NZ too, Auckland, am having my op in October by Dr Fris, its great to see another Kiwi with a successful story, hope you are feeling well :thumbup:

congrats on the date :mad: i am also a smashing pumpkin, not sure of the exact date yet but definately october, i can't wait :crying:

yes october, seems so far away :crying:

hi guys, my dates in october too, so am i a smashing pumpkin??:thumbup:

Hi Fiona, I'm newish to this and this site has been fantastic, I am still waiting to be banded, with Fris as well, we must live pretty close to each other spoke to Ainsley today looks like it will be mid October, was slightly disappointed cause i just wanted it done !! Anyway, sounds like alot to get used to, at the moment I feel like I am having my last supper every time i have something to eat and stuffing it down, even though i know i have to go sssllllooowww, can't believe its supposed to take 20 mins to drink a bloody up and go, so will have to sort my head out on that one. You've done it once so you can do it again and keep us posted, I sure will be, this is like my new hobby lol :thumbup:

Hi guys are we the smashing pumpkins because we are having surgery in october :thumbup:

I have only told my mum, a friend who is also getting it done, and my sister cause i think she should do it too, otherwise noone else, am yet unsure how to go about the work thing, but working with alot of women who constantly analyse everything that goes into your mouth i couldn't be doing with the hassle.

restless, i'll have to wait to see him again on the 16th, guess i'm more disappointed that i won't be having it done this month and have to wait now till october, i was hoping to be a september samurai :thumbup:

thanks guys for your responses, its great knowing there is a place we all can go to vent that is supportive and understands where we are all coming from. I'll get over it, my roster is done till after the new year anyway so HE will just have to get over it.

the unfortunate thing is i don't have the luxury of being able to change surgeons as he is the only one (small country NZ) says its something to do with the day night rythm (could never spell that word), it is depressing to think that this could screw up my chances of having it done :thumbup:
