Would any of the Perth bandsters be interested in getting together for a dinner one night or lunch one day? I am only home in Perth every second week (work on the mines, one week on/one week off), but would love to catch up with some Perth bandsters when I am home.

Ideas for get togethers:

* Find a nice restaurant and all order an entree (and no-one has to feel odd because of that!)

* Have a Monthly Lunch or Dinner Party at someone's house, serving bandster style food and portions (everyone takes turns to host).

* Have a picnic in Kings Park, with a BYO picnic lunch

I'd love that, count me in!

Looks like it's just thee and me, acl, but I'll hold out hopes for more to join us. I'll be home from site on Friday night and will try to organise something for next week and post details.

Hey,

I would be keen to come along. I stay at home to look after my son, who is 18 months old. i would be very keen to get out without him. If possible, i will be there:cool2:

Hey Min,

Good luck tomorrow. I am a week post op tomorrow, and I hardly feel like I have had an op (apart from lack of appetite). The first few days were a bit hard, but after that, everything seemed to pick up...I am sure you will do fine.

hey guys! i am definitely in for that! lets organise it! my email is nikki@pfr.com.au

I'm love to join in, let me know what the go is

Maybe we should go to a pool or something! (I've got excercise on the brain!):biggrin:

Banded 11 Dec 2007

Alright!! That's more like it! I'll PM everyone when I get home from site and, hopefully, we can organise something for next week! Looking forward to meeting you all :smile:

well im home and doing really good ! im so suprised how good i feel, i have a little wind in the belly but other than that all good!

take care all and its so great to be over the first hurdle... banded finally!

yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ps: so is it true we are meant to stick to liquid for 2 weeks then mushie stage then slowly bring in food? well thats what im gonna do .

cheers

Welcome to Bandland, min! Yeah, it's true. Doctors seem to have different schedules but 2 weeks liquids, then mushies is pretty standard.

Fortunately after the 2 weeks of liquids only you will be really impressed at your weight loss start... But as everyone says, dont expect it to last.

Its someone saying for all the pain and crap we have put you through we'll make ur first week of weight loss a good one so encouragement :tt1:

Good Luck! If you need advice about what to eat we're all here!

Hi everyone

I have been considering this operation for some time now and have decided to go ahead with it my operation is on the 18th August 09, with Dr Kierath. I feel very nervous and would really like to be able to talk to people about my concerns. I really believe that a support group like this is exactly what myself and so many other people need.

Looking forward to speaking to some of you guys!.

cheers
