Hello everyone,

Not sure if anyone posts in this thread anymore- it is quite quiet!

Anyway I am Nicole, from Cranbourne and I am just starting out with this banding procedure. I am hoping to attend my first seminar next month and go from there.

I am thinking of going to The Avenue or Knox Private- they seem to be the most popular for my area.

Anyway I would love to chat with everyone

Nic

Hi all,

I'm Shell. I'm being banded by Mr Gary Crosthwaite at The Avenue, Windsor next Friday (Aug 1st).

I'm not long home from my last pre-op appointment and was rapt to jump on the scales and find out that I've lost 5.5kg in the two weeks since I was last at the clinic. That added to the 4.5kg I'd lost in the 6 weeks previous makes me an awesome 10kg lighter. I started the Optifast on July 1st although didn't need to start them til the 11th. I figured that I'd give myself a full month on them to give myself the best start to this road to the new me.

I'm not in Melbourne, but originally a Melby girl! Anyway, just butting in to say, if you can't make a get together, then why not just arrange one for when you can? Simply put up a time, day, place and everyone can turn up.

      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!!
