    Here's to a new BEGINNING!!!

    hi gigi good luck to you im a recent bandster 15/12/06 and it is massive decision but ultimately the big difference when you start this journey you feel that you will reach the end goal where as with dieting alone you feel like you climbing a mountain and you cant imagine ever reaching the summit ,i wish you all the luck in the world . nikki

    <HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --> hi all its seems ages since i posted but only been few days ,beversman you sound great 20 mins huh was your surgeon going for a record ?.....lol only joking mine said i was only going to take 30 mins but including prep and recovery room i was in for 1hour 15 mins ,so not sure how long actual surgery took . well yesterday xmas dinner was buffet style and i ate a little of everything so in total a very small meal but way more than i actually thought i could as ive been eating like a sparrow hence 14 pounds off since surgery ,i also had trifle which is just about perfect consistency and i ate bowl of that my darling husband bought me new digital camera for xmas as mine was broken i thought last night would be good time to take scar pics and b4 shots as i have already lost 14 pound and have no b4 shots that big ,well all i can say is omg:omg: i had no idea how awful i looked in my underwear ,i know that sounds funny but i think i have strange mental image of myself and when i saw myself i wanted to weep and hate that image of me and hate to think thats what my hubby sees when im getting my kit of for sex. so today i feel sooo emotional and i have appetite back it been coming back for past couple of days but ive been ignoring it im on semi solids as per surgeon instructions its so strange how we all told different things to do and for varing lengths of time:confused: .im going back to my Soups as after seeing myself the way i really am i dont want to eat ever again:cry ,on a more positive note my lovely hubby bought me a stepper so maybe i just burn all this fat off my ass with excercise .i hope your xmas is going better !! banded 15/12/06 dublin dr jerome manceau

    nathalie you make me laugh so much "im putting my jelly to bed" he he ...im doing this with the intention that i will be a really healthy looking weight where actually no one notices me for my weight its just not an issue ,i just look like a normal sized girl not skinny ..not fat and when i get there il know because i will feel good and then no matter what scales say il be at my ideal weight FOR ME :clap2: i told everyone and there dog that i was doing this surgery as i felt like instead of taking easy route i was being a rebel defiant of peoples concerns ..to be honest im not sure where i was at or what i was thinking im just really glad i did it. stacy...good luck for 28th honey and the emotional rollercoaster continues i was so weepy first two days but i feel grrrrreat and im so up for this challenge life begins for you at 39 !!!!! beversman...you are doing amazing !! you will definately be a success look how you doing without aid of the band ,i just know you will be one of those you just glide through i will be thinking of you :girl_hug: kathy good luck for tomorrow you sound in control !! we will be here for you when you return:) evathenurse we banded on same day im glad you back and doing ok im still gassy as well but im not burping at all i just live with hot beanie bag flung over left shoulder nathalie im not dry at all:confused: but i did want to ask is it just my imagination or does the band feel really tight in the morning ?? i took period at the clinic after surgery and they sometimes hormones affect it Water retention etc any views ???? also im sure my tummy grumblings are now in at least six different languages none of which tell me wether im hungry :confused:
