Perth Bandsters Get Together?



Recommended Posts

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

Irene

Hi new folks!

The get together (which I called for at the start of this thread nearly two years ago) never quite happened... *sigh* I guess we were all just a bit too busy at the time. However, if anyone is game for it, I'm still interested. I'm working full time back in Perth now (was doing FIFO to the mines before, which is why I was rarely available), so should be able to make most times.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to chat, drop me a line :lol:

Hi Tegan. Are you north or south of the river? I'm south, but willing to travel.

To all our other Perth bandsters, let's get our act together and make this happen!

Fanny,

I'm flat out at work and uni but I'm sure I can find time to meet with you, hun! As long as I get some advance notice, I can move things around a bit. I could maybe do lunch too if it's close to my workplace (East Perth)... :)

Okay folks, how about 2pm Saturday 29th August at my house? We could have tea/coffee and band-friendly munchies and say hi to each other... Or we could pick neutral ground out somewhere. I live in South Lake, just off the Kwinana Freeway, so very easy to get to. What do you all think?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
