Well hi everyone...

I have had a fabulous week. I spent a wonderful 4 days away with 5 of my best friends, heading up to Nelson Bay in NSW and heading to an outdoor concert to see Roxette. I definitely did not hold back this week and still managed to lose .5kg bringing my total to 17.6kg lost.

As I said, I did not hold back one bit and enjoyed all kinds of food and wine - just a lot less volume than I would've consumed 6 months ago.

I think this may be what I love most about the lap-band. There really is no restriction to what you eat just the amount of it. I still need to enjoy life and the band allows me to do this.

I had so much energy for the concert and the whole weekend that I had lost, and thought would never get it back again - but I've found it and I am so happy.

I am also heading for a little holiday to Thailand on Tuesday of next week so will have an early weigh in and won't have another for 2 weeks - so stay tuned for my next post...

Congratulations! Isn't it great? Please post about your trip to Thailand !

All you ladies are doing so well with the band and I'm so scared to get malnutritioned or dehydrated. I'm oy 1 week in bug am I just tripping??? Someone ease my mind please
