Hey all,

Well I am 8 weeks post-op and everything is going well with Lola (my band!) lol. No vomiting so far but on Sunday I had raisins get stuck in Lola and she gave me SEVERE pain! It soon passed and now I am feeling great again!

I am right into the gym now, going 4 days a week, and aqua aerobics 2 days a week.

Just thought I would share my latest progress pic with you all. I am really happy with my progress, but there is still a long way to go!

Take care, Josh.

Geez, you're all looking so fantastic!! Well done folks

Hello all my lapband friends,

Well this weekend just gone I did the first thing that I have always wanted to do but have never been able to because of my weight! We went to the Gold Coast for the weekend and myself, my mum and brother hired scooters (or mopeds)! I had an absolute blast and it is the first of totally 'fun' things that I will be able to do. Thanks Lola!! (my lapband)! lol.

Down to 128.2kg now, lost 32.8kg or 20.37% of my total body weight... go the Biggest Loser! lol

Take care,

Joshie-Boo.

What a hoot Josh! You have done so well. Keep up the good work, you are a lot of an inspiration.

Hey all my buddies in LapBand world!

I know I am always posting pictures of myself on this site lol but I am just so excited about the new me!

Today I have taken my latest progress shots, and I have attached them both side and front-on. I have still got a way to go, but I am extremely happy with my progress so far.

I have attached another pic - this one is me in a work shirt that I have NEVER been able to wear. I have always had to have special sizes ordered just for me. This one is a 2XL - AND IT FITS!!! You can't wipe the smile from my face!

Take care, until next time,

Joshie.
