  1. Hi Teagan, I'm good Thanks. I'm having the same issue at the moment with food-chocolate has become a big problem lol...Not good tho. I still exercise regularly and I have good restriction. I only eat twice a day except when there is chocolate. and I've lost nearly 26kg. So I am definitely happy with that. I have 5.75ml in my band. I do have problems when I get my fill, apparently I'm in the top 1% of problems with finding the port. Which is painful but my doctor is gr8. How's your weightloss going?I hope you are well take care...

    My husband and I yesterday on our wedding day!!!!

    This is a gorgeous photo of you both ...Congratulations...
  5. Hi, I had something similar happen. My doctor told me that when it is that time of the month it does get tighter, and for me, that is when it seemed to happen just a couple of days prior to them arriving and I had been fine for weeks before that. I was unable to take my tablets and was not able to eat in the mornings. So I basically would have a cuppa in the morning and because it was warm it helped relax the oesophagus, and when it was lunch I was able to eat and keep my food down and then I just would take my tablets later in the evening instead of the morning. I don't know of course if that is where you are at, but that is what happened to me so I hope that helps a little. Otherwise if it doesn't seem to ease as the morning goes and you are unable to get anything down of course see your doctor as soon as possible...
  6. Hi Teagan, Hope everything goes well on the 13th for your next fill. I had mine on Friday the 7th last wk...3rd one and wow yep there is a big restriction. It's great tho just have to take it even slower when eating, well that's what I have found anyway. I've got a total of 5.75cc in my 10cc band, what is your fill quantity? anyway thinking of you good luck and take care Annie

  7. oops bottom message first lol... Take care keep your chin up your doing great...Annie

  8. I can understand your frustration I'm going through this with my Husband and we are quietly competitive lol...An as we know men loose faster but I'm giving him a run for his money lol and we r at this point very similar in weight loss.( but i reckon its cos Im stricter on myself then he is) He admittedly has more probs he seems to think he can still eat everything an tries, and of course has his stuck episodes but doesnt like to admit it. I can say I have only had a few of these compared to his many.He said since his 2nd fill he feels to tight but i think its his eating habits not chewing and scoffing food when he is hungry. But everyone is diff,an he could b to tight Im not the doctor lol. But he hasnt lost that much this fill which leaves the ? as to y ....There is much to learn and with everyday comes more trials...But dont 4get we all loose it differently. As I keep saying to my son perserverance lol...What are you eating through the day?

  9. Hi Teagan, I'm quite tight in the morn.so I only have a cup of coffee with slim milk an equal that lasts me till bout 11am then I have my protein and that may be eggs as an omlete with mushies or even with bacon but no bread/toast. I'l have sauce or hollandaise with it so that its not to dry.Dinner is veg with fish or chicken or I do a lot of casseroles so the meat is real tender. I have potato sometimes or rice but not much of that at all.protein an veg being the biggest portions. I really find the protein keeps me full. Dont get me wrong tho i still eat chocolate and have ice cream after dinner a few nights a wk.But I try to exercise for atleast 45mins 5 days a wk.but that doesnt always happen. to be cont...lol

  10. Hi Tegan how are you this week? All good here just sitting about the same not up or down but just plodding along...How's things for you ?

  11. :thumbup: Has anyone missed their period after being banded and were always regular, and with that being said not pregnant? I am down 44pounds and have had a period since being banded but this month I have not, and my pregnancy test was negative. So has anyone else gone through this or know why this could happen? I am making a doctors appointment but was curious as to see what others had gone through... Thanks in advance Annie
  12. Thanks for all of your replies.. I'm starting to understand how confused the body must be after having such big changes...and go figure I wake this morning with them....:thumbup:
  13. Thanks Luv I feel gr8about the loss so far,it's so nice to go down in clothes size and feel your clothes getting bigger.Uno I didn't feel much diff.the1st couple of days after my2nd fill and then it just seemed to kick in an I wasn't feeling as hungry thank goodness.I hated that feeling of hunger again.I'm on 5.25cc and my next date is the10th of August.But like I said in my thread I have no period and the weird thing is I feel even tighter.But the doctor did say that with menstruation it would get tighter,but I don't get it when I haven't got my bloody period.Oh my,talk about baffled lol.Anyways I'm only having2sm meals a day lunch an dinner mainly protein and a cuppa coffee4bfast.What is your meal plan like?

  14. Hi Teagan, no I didn't get your pm don't know what happened there lol...thanks for your reply on my thread and the info... I was thinking it may have just been the body being confused wouldn't be hard with what it's going through lol...How are you travelling and your weight loss has it picked up for you...Im doin pretty good thanks for your comment. I've had my second fill and do feel a lot tighter, much more restriction than the first. Have you had your second fill and how is it for you?

    Can't control the hunger

    Hi Mrs Axl Rose, nice to meet you I'm Annie. I myself know how you feel... I was banded on the 11th of May 09 and food be it was my choice of drug so too speak. I have never smoked, drunk alcohol or done anything else. But food has been my addiction. Every waking moment food ruled what I was doing, when and how it was done. I would get to a point where I felt full and just like you said as soon as the full feeling did subside hey let's have something else.. It's just crazy it takes over. Wow and I even had horrible mood swings if i didn't get it when I wanted it... The thing is we made that important descion to take control of our lives instead of allowing food to continue to control our lives. Which has to be commended. It is not going to be fixed overnight and I do believe we will all have our moment of guilt when our cravings take over...But with saying this we need to pick ourselves up and get back on track. The band is a tool and it is not going to change a life time of bad habits...It will help but we have to work on our mindset and retrain ourselves with the help that the doctors offer us and the advice that they give us to follow. I'm pretty sure know one told me it was going to be easy and I know I've had my slips since being banded, so please know you are not alone in this fight to stay on the straight and narrow. Just pick yourself up and tomorrow is another day to the rest of your life...Don't be afraid to ask for help, and posting on here is great it really does help to be able to vent ask questions or to just read and feel that we are not alone.... Good luck Annie
  16. Hi Tegan, i'm going pretty good weight wise I'm down 16.5kg so I'm really happy with that. How is your weight going? Your photos are great and you can really see the difference. It's a wonderful feeling isn't it. Apart from that I'm just having a down day but I'll Get over it and you don't want to hear me go on about that anyways.... How did you find getting your first fill done and the few days after?

  17. Hey Tegan - That's ok, the weight will start to move again and I do think that the liquid faze is the jump start to that happening. I'm down a total of 15kg now and wow that feels great. My friend hadn't seen me in 2 wks and she was so excited when she saw me. Funny cos you know you have lost but not how much until you take photos an put them side by side...It's great. And to get the comments too...Talk to you soon Take Care Annie

  18. Hi Tegan just read your post ... Congratulations that's wonderful news. How did you go having the fill done? I had mine last week and apart from having to have an ultrasound to find my port everything went great. I just had my fluids for 2 days and then mushies for a day an now I'm back to solids again with great restriction and again not feeling hungery. I just love that.... Keep up the great work... Take care Annie

    Good on you girl .. your looking great. Love the way you've kept up with your photos to see the change... congrates!!! Annie
  20. Thanks Tegan...I thought I better put a pic up...I know what you mean I've been on a stand still for 2 wks as well. Seems like when you start to eat solids again that it just stops funny cos I still can only eat small amounts about a cup max maybe twice a day with a shake 4 bfast. I'm up an down 1kg at the moment waiting on my period ( sorry about that TMI...LOL) But I've had some chocolate cravings nasty little things they are lol. How much have you lost so far? I'm around the 12kg mark down, but very much looking 4wd to it moving again...I'll let you know how my fill goes tomorrow..Take care Annie

  21. Hi Tegan how are you going? I go in for my first fill tomorrow...I'm feeling very excited.I'm really looking forward to getting some restriction again. Have you had your first fill yet and how did it go for you if you did? Hope you are well Annie.

  22. Thanks for your words of support William...certainly does help being able to chat on here. Every new day is a step closer to that slimmer person within and again so true it's definately what's in the inside that counts. The walls are tumbling down and what a great feeling....Thankyou again...
