Recommended Posts

No I don't mind you asking at all... I'm 36' date=' married with twin 5 year old girls. I live in Australia in Traralgon, which is a lovely suburb about an hour and a half from the city of Melbourne. I'm a kindergarten teacher but not working this school year.[/quote']

You sound very busy. Young ones all around. Lol

My two daughters are adopted but sisters. We got them when they were 21 mo old and 34 mo old. So they are 13 mo apart. It was like we got twins. They are 34 and 35 now with our oldest g-kid 17 yrs old. He's one of 6 grand babies.

I worked mostly in retail. My hubby has had his own businesses sice 1978. So I've worked mostly with him. Early on we owned a marina, cottages, and grocery on a mid size lake up north indiana. Moved to florida in 1989 and soon began a business in computers which we still have today. We're retired now but that's me in a nutshell. I love working with children. You must find it very rewarding and twin girls ...beautiful I bet....takes me back. Have a good day.

Hi' date=' I'm getting banded on the 5th and have already started my pre-op diet a week ago. I'm super excited but nervous at the same time! I found this website a week ago and would love to keep in contact with you all as we start this journey to a slimmer and healthier us! I'm 36 and a mum to two gorgeous twin girls. My starting weight is 399 (ouch! How did I let it get that bad?!?) and after my first week on pre-op I've lost 13. My surgeon has me on 4 weeks of pre-op so 3 more weeks to go![/quote']

Hi angemc I don't know what happened but somehow I'm no longer "allowed" to view the posts in the "August bandsters" forum. I don't know if you can help me back in somehow, but if you could I would greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks!

Hi soccerturtle! I'm not sure why you wouldn't have permission to go to the August bandsters group.... Have you tried going to your subscribed threads in your profile? You should be able to access the group from there. Let me know if that works! How are you going?

Yes I have many blessings in my life.

As of the 23rd it has been 6 weeks when I started preop. As an average I have lost about a 1/2 lb a day for the last 42 days. Feels good that I'm making progress.

I'm finding that I am doing other things to keep me busy and when not I am finding I can sit still and not snack. It's wonderful to know that with the band working together towards one goal it feels good without the feeling of deprivation.

Congrats on your weight loss! Thats fantastic. I havent had a fill yet (banded on Aug 12)- was scheduled for one last week but I had one incident of vomiting so my doctor opted to wait another two weeks. Scheduled now for first fill next Thu. My weight has plateaued for the past two weeks (lost 34 lbs so far) so I finally decided to start exercising. I've been doing 30 mins on the eliptical for the past few days. Nutritionist assures me that this will catapult my weight loss dramatically. Hope so! keep up the good work. Glad all is going well for you.

I go in for my first fill 10-2. I take alot of meds and have a slight problem every once in awhile getting a few down. Then in nov will be going on a trip to Hawaii. I'm so mixed about getting a fill and my pills and being so far from home. I know I should talk to dr and will but I'm very mixed about getting a fill. I haven't had any trouble eating this past week so that's good. I am keeping between 800 to 1000 cal. What's your opinion?

How's everyone doing? Surgery was 8/15 and tomorrow is my first fill. I lost about 20lbs by Day 12 postop and haven't lost anything since. Still feeling a little discouraged and now nervous for the fill tomorrow. What will it feel like? Will it hurt??

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
