Hi Tegan It would be great to keep in touch. Every little bit of support helps,contact me any time, I'm on everyday. I just think this site is great being able to read and ask how people get through the different aspects of lap banding. It sure is going to be an exciting ride...

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

Thanks Lellow,

Thanks for that... I know I have problems with my iron levels so I will certainly look into the Clements Iron liquid. I've also been having Berocca . It's hard to find everything you need in just one product though.

It's great that you are able to eat so well without restriction and still have the fantastic results you've had, good on you...

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

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?

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

Hi again William, I know exactly what you mean by 1000 characters not being long enough LOL...Sounds like a great way to do it. Like I said hadn't heard of it before but will ask my doctor at my first check up on the 10th of June. Just for curiosity sake. All is good here my husband and I are both at that same point as you mentioned could eat anything, but it's so not worth doing it. I have to admit the fact that we did this together is wonderful especially for the support. Although it is amazing the differences we are noticing in how long the healing process is taking for us both. I have type II diabetes so my process is taking a little longer but the results already are amazing and I am off my injections...Woo Whoo I gotta be happy with that...

It's funny the difference there is in what each doctor recommends. We were on clear fluids for one week then mushies second week and now smalll portions of solid foods maily protein but still already solid food at 2wks. Weight loss has plateaued for a couple of days but all feels gr8. Now we are just looking forward to our fill. My hb is next Friday the 5th mine the following, so that will be interesting.

Anyway it's lovely to chat with you please keep in touch if you like would love to hear how you are going...

Take care Annie
