Hi Karen, Methyl Predisolone is horrible. It gives me chronic insomnia, nervousness, depression etc. I have not had it since last year when they gave it to me in the IV. I am lucky in that my MS is really stable at the moment. You would not even know I have this condition to look at me. I realize it will relapse again at some stage but I am enjoying being in remission.:)

You are so right about Diet plate girl! I even have a mind to email A Current Affair and set them straight about this bogus story, but hey I am not the Grinch, she will get caught out.

In my thirties I really could care less what other people think of me. I would have in my twenties, but I see so much disfunction and unhappiness out there in so called normal and perfect looking peoples lives, that I know they are in no position to judge me. They don't pay my bills or do anything for me so they can go jump basically if they wish to judge.:lol:

Today is sushi day.:biggrin1: I always eat sushi once a week on Saturdays. I really look forward to it. I was telling my sister that my idea of a treat now is sushi or saladas with vegemite on them. No cake, no ice cream etc.

Hi all.....

it was actually a very thin older lady that made that comment.

Hey.... guess i gotta expect that as ive got a long way to go.

I had a bad night last night............. my husband was going to the 'fish @ Chip' shop and asked what i wanted........mmmmmmmmmmmm.... I said if you want to know what i want its...... a hamburger with the lot and 2 fried dim sims. Now...... if you want to know what i CAN HAVE.... 1 piece of grilled flake. So............... there i was eating so slowly it was getting cold. I got through 1/2 of it and felt really full, then just thought 1 chip want hurt. so, i cut my 1 chip in 4 little pieces and ate slowly.... then with water in my eyes i bolted to the loo and watched those 4 bits of a chip come back to greet me. My lesson was.... stop when im full and dont eat something i dont need ie the chip. What a painful lesson i had....

Well... im now totally off both chicken and fish.... Cant wait to get onto the red meat!!!!!

Hi all!

Bronnie you sound like you are having a bit of a rough trot with food! I think my last fill has kicked in properly now. Every time I eat, each mouthful kind of gurlgles in my throat (i've asked my partner and he can't hear it and he says he can't). Yesterday I had my first PB. It wasn't as bad as I expected. Not all that painful for me, I just sort of felt that the food wasn't going through, went to the bathroom, opened my mouth and out it came. And yep, it was with chicken. Not all that much of a surprise about that!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend (if they get one)!

sorry you are having a tough time bronnie- you will work this out, it will get better. its jsut not pleasant at the time.

Hi Meredith, I saw a huge, giant sized easter egg in Myer's department store. It cost over two hundred dollars! I would like to see somebody eat their way through that one!:biggrin1:

I have a cold.:) Woke up this morning feeling unwell. Well I am down 14 kgs now since I was banded.:biggrin1: Happy with that. I am really tight at the moment, due to it being that time of the month. It is so bizarre really how it can tighten up like that. Last night the saliva was pooling in my mouth which was not pleasant at all. First time ever.:) Somebody explained it that the band tightens due to the tissue in the body swelling when you have your period. TMI, but we are mostly all girls so I am sure we can take it.;)

Here is a group hug for everybody!:) :biggrin1:

Susannah - I gurarantee you pre banding I would have no problem at all eating that giant easter egg. i would eat chocolate til I felt sick and keep eating it. I am most definately a chocoholic, almost got thru easter but failed last night, 170gm red tulip small eggs but could have been much worse I tell myself. Happy easter to you all and congrats on your great loss, was wonderful meeting you last week, have to do it again soon. When;s your next avenue appt? Sis and I have one friday 20th

Hi Tara, My next appointment for a fill is on Tuesday the 17th of april @ The Avenue @ noon. Would love to catch up with anybody if they happen to be there on that day.

How is Bobbie going? It must be a great support network for you both being banded. Has Amy heard anymore news re the waiting list?

I am sick today. I have been sneezing my head off for hours. I still exercised though. Susannah

Ahh Susannah sounds like you have the sickness I have had for the past few days! Is making the rounds everywhere!

I haven't noticed any difference in my band tightness at that time of the month, but then my band is different from day to day normally so I don't think I could tell if there was a difference! As long as you don't PB, you'll be ok. I've been super careful chewing and eating slowly since my first PB the other day. I don't want a repeat of it anytime soon.

I saw my Mum today and she is very nervous about her lap band surgery on Tuesday. I told her that it will all be worth it in the end and to just focus on that when she is thinking "what on earth have I done to myself". She's lost 4 kilos on optifast (she started last monday) so she's got a great head start!

Hi All, Meredith I have not been able to sleep.:) I am so sick. Oh well. Yay about your mum!:clap2: I have decided to stay on soups etc at the moment while my band is tight. That way I am not putting any pressure on my band.

Hey Mezza, Big Brother starts again April 22nd! I reckon I am going to watch it as a guilty pleasure.:( I hope they have a more Interesting, diverse group of people than they had last year.Wishful thinking!

Susannah

I've been sleeping crappily (I think I just made that word up haha) too. Its hard to breathe! I've been taking cold and flu tablets but they aren't doing all that much. A visit to the Dr might be in order for both of us this week it looks! Hope you feel better soon!!!

I think BB this year is going to be a bit boring. Because of all the ho-ha last year with the turkey-slap thing they will be super cautious about anything. I just want to be entertained!!

Hey Meredith, This site is really bad for spammers! It looks like our particular section of the board gets all the porn posts as well!:) No other forum I belong to has this problem, so I don't know why they can't fix it.

I am not going to exercise today because I am just not well enough and it may actually be counter productive.:(

Hope you are keeping nice and roasty toasty warm like I am.

My nose is running like Niagra Falls!:eek: :biggrin1:
