Recommended Posts

Hello to everyone, I was banded in Sydney on the 27th Sept 2005. I've only lost 9kg. I went back last week & had a fill.(5wks over due) I now have 2.5mls in my band. Hopefully now I will start loosing again.

I have a quick question for Jodie. Did you have to get all your fill taken out when you became pregnant ? ?:preggers:

Well done to you on your web site. I read it last nite. Very interesting...

Glad to of found this site.

start weight 27-9-05 136.5kg

today weigh 25-01-05 127.5kg

165cm tall

Thanks for your warm welcome Parvathi.

Just so you know, Bathurst & Orange is around 3hrs west of Sydney over the Blue Mountains past Lithgow. You may of heard of the V8 car races they have in Bathurst around the October long weekend....

Would love to hear of anyone from around this area, well from any area really. Till next time, happy banding

Trish

Hi Trish,

I was expecting to have my fill taken out, but because I had been gaining (badly needed a fill) my surgeon said I was ok, and infact offered to give me a small fill if I really wanted to. He was pleased that I didn't want to have a fill though. I need a fill many months before I became pregnant but couldn't get to my surgeon at the time.

Thanks for your comments on my site. I really do need to update it, but I guess I have put it on hold cos I want to make a new one.

Congratulations on your loss so far, and you will find that your fill should make a difference. Slow is better than not at all!:)

Hi Trish

I am not really that close, I am about 2 hrs off Sydney in Newcastle. My other half is actually is Bathurst as we speak working away again...always away working *sigh* ;).

As fir only losing 9kgs, thats 9kgs gone forever, and until you are properly restricted the band isnt really working its full potential for us. Proper restriction and a bit of exercise *like I can talk* and wahlahhhh you are on your way.

Hope to see you around more.

Hi Kellie,

Was good to hear from you. I had a look at your web page & it's very helpfull. How on earth did you find the time...

You have done so well on your weight loss, congratulations. You seem like the kind of person that would be a lot of fun (on or off the drink) lol.

It's a pitty you live in Newcastle, would of been a scream to catch up on each others stories over a cuppa (bit far to travel just for a cuppa)

I rang the Dr yesterday & i'm back down to Ashfield next Thursday for my 4th fill. I have 2.5mls at the moment. So here's to better restriction, & wahlahhh, i'll be on my way..........Hope your better half is home real soon

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
