positive thoughts help so much
( always )think positive
(negative thoughts must be written down daily and ripped up and thrown out /burnt daily ,
always go to bed positive
get up positive
let no one or thing get you down ,
remember
you are in charge of your destiny
live your life
every day
like it is your last day on earth
know you did something positive each day
reach out and assist someone and if you cannot help
know you at least tried to assist
also learn to know if you need help
and if you do need help
know you are not a failure
by reaching out and asking ,
so many people are willing to assist if only asked
have a lovely day ,Doreen |

Some one asked if there are any regrets about being banded ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
yes
I regret the time ,
I wasted not getting it ,so had 7 extra yrs of fat size 22/24,
(I pulled out last time )
,I regret all those yrs wasted ,
sitting with no energy to play with my kids /grandkids
and NOW I do not miss
the huffing and puffing when I walked,
my back aching for days/ hrs at a time,
legs rubbing til they hurt
or searching for somthing to wear
I do not regret surgery
AS my life now
my mostly size 8 body ,
the health benifits
fun times with family
I can say for any 1 regret there are ten positive's /great things about being banded ,
most of all ,
I say you must do it for you
have a great day ,Doreen |

Reposting:
Doreen and everyone
Am I the only one here who can't understand Doreen's "ramblings"? She has posted attacks on me on her thread
Iamdoingitforme - Welcome To My Page
http://au.messages.yahoo.com/lifestyle/lap-band/10 4461
which I will respond to later but she's obviously lost the plot and paranoia is causing her to read into things that aren't there. She's also said "As I am not a mind reader & usually just skip your posts as they usually RAMBLE ON & I am buzy), I loose interest & usually miss the point among the RAMBLINGS" yet I can't make sense of Doreen's posts on this or any other thread. I thought she was telling me I was dead i.e. "dead leanne".
She also says here "the other comment, Leanne was at the stalker who is annoying/harrassing me - I've been told that her name is that" Her name is what? Leanne? Me? Who?
Doreen says regarding myself "I find you take things/wrong". Is there any wonder when I have to read through her posts several times to figure out what she is trying to say & even when I read several times I still can't figure it out! Hers are the only posts I have to read more than once, everybody else posts in plain English.
If she's not directing her posts/attacks at me then please tell me who she is directing them at because she says "dead leanne, yes but you knew that already DIDN'T YOU B1TCH you are nasty in the extreme" so why wouldn't I assume she was directing her comments at me.
Interesting that Doreen's remarks "ramblings" & "usually miss the point among the ramblings" are the same comments a fake user ID made two weeks ago. Doreen's made accusations on her thread and other threads which causes me to assume she's accusing me of using fake IDs" but it's becoming evident that it seems Doreen is using at least one fake ID.
Doreen if you could write sentences & paragraphs (I was taught this in Primary School so it's not hard to do) people might actually be able to understand what you are talking about. |

First bite syndrome,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, when you eat and pb almost immediately,,,,,,,,,,,,,, not fun but common,
if this is you remember,
you are not alone on this ,
I assure you,a lot of bandits really have to take those first mouthfuls so careful,
a good idea is a warm drink about,about 10 mins prior to eating it seems to help relax us and our bands ,
then try not to be stressed at all as the band tightens,
then chew until it is like, smooth peanut butter ,
swallow,
take it easy
and most of all try not to be rushed or stressed
goodluck,Doreen |

Yesterday Soula rang me to ask if I would like her to pick me up to go to the Brisbane get-together this week. I roared laughing over the phone and told her if Doreen wasn't such a nut case I would gladly go but I would wait until next year before attending Brisbane get-togethers.
If I "hate" you so much can you please explain why I have NEVER said a bad word about you to anyone in the Gold Coast or Brisbane area? Yesterday I told Soula EVERYTHING, that is - how you have been accusing me of using fake user IDs to post messages on this board and email you nasty emails.
Soula and others in the area have known me for three years and to say she was shocked at your attacks and accusations on me would be an understatement. Ask Soula at the get-together if prior to yesterday if I've made at least one nasty or simply negative comment about you. I’m not concerned because I know the answers will be NO.
Doreen you are the one who needs to see a "therapist" not me.

Doreen said - "simple words work best ,not abuse here or by email"
I see you are dishing out advice and not following your own advice. Also still not directing posts to anyone so it's clear who you are talking to yet you have made a shot AGAIN about "email" and when I last questioned you about that you told me it wasn't directed at me and that in future when you direct any post to me you would write "Leanne" so it was clear who you were pointing your nasty finger at. I have too many other things to waste my time on instead of responding to your insecurities and countless UNPROVEN attacks on me, having to respond to you to put the FACTS STRAIGHT is really ticking me off.
Doreen said: "next time tell a person straight out"
I never told you anything Doreen because there was NOTHING to tell. It' all a figment of your imagination and paranoia! There was NO PROBLEM between us until you started attacking me for using fake IDs and emails.
Let me remind you Doreen that I did not attack you FIRST, it was YOU who attacked me FIRST accusing me of sending emails and using fake user IDs. And that only happened after you asked Mel to email you and then you both came to the conclusion it was me, of all people to seek advice from Mel who has a penchant for using fake IDS, now that really makes sense.
Even though those comments made a fool out of you when the fake users you were accusing me of being were still posting when I was at my mothers funeral. You're so wacko and paranoid I bet you think I was at my mother's funeral with a lap top on my lap using fake user names to post messages on this board.
If I "hate" you as you claim then why wouldn't I "hate Nic (bradleynoo) considering she was co-ordinating get-togethers prior to you? Nic and I don't have any problems getting along because she hasn't accused me of using fake IDs. You see how paranoid and irrational you are. |

Doreen
So here I am again having to justify myself AGAIN to your stupid self "The fact is, and I feel really embarrassed feeling I've been backed into a corner by you Doreen and now have to justify myself. You have even copied and pasted my post to you OUT OF CONTEXT so it can be misconstrued by others, have you no shame? I will now copy and paste your comments out of context too!
Doreen said: "Finally after months ,have worked out why you hate me"
Sorry to disappoint you Doreen I don't "hate" anyone - too much wasted energy -, the only thing I hate is the word "hate".
Doreen said: "just worked out that you think I took over YOUR GROUP , so I have finally worked out why some one "I have never spoke to or met could hate me so much , 'BUT not once did ANYONE say anywhere that you owned /ran the group ,lol"
Most peculiar behaviour for you to think that's funny considering I don't "owned/ran the group lol!.
I don't own any groups to take over, I own two internet groups but I don't even classify them as MY own, I have given other moderators FULL ownership access and I ALWAYS refer to them as "our group" to all participants not just moderators because if it weren't for the participants there would be no group! I'm not a control freak like you, I frequently invite others to co-ordinate get-togethers etc so all bandsters feel equal and welcome to co-ordinate and attend get-togethers etc, you have seen me put many posts on this board in relation to that. |

Doreen
So did you ring White Lady Funerals? I'm even happy to send you my flight schedules because you will see I was in the air when fake users were posting but god forbid if I emailed them, then you'd be attacking me again for sending nasty emails.
I gave you the opportunity to prove to yourself you were being paranoid and irrational and needed to see a therapist like you told me to do. Yet you ignore my suggestion and continue posting the following attacks.
Doreen if you believe I am "nasty" for defending myself for false accusations that you have made about me then you don't know what "nasty" is, I'm only just becoming to be "nasty" because you are continuing to attack me.
I expected you to say it was "my final message for leanne" a gutless coward's way out to avoid confrontation over issues YOU created.
Doreen said - "it was my final message for leanne ,
I am ,over nasty people ,
and will not answer rot
give it a break"
Doreen you are in DENIAL, it is you who started this "rot" and you casting blame on ME, not even others but ME!!! You caused the problem between us and now you continue to attack and say I caused it. |

for wendal
;;;;;;;;;;;;getting more fill in always
take drs advice as we are all different ;;;;;;;;;;
so long as the total meal ,is not more than (1/2to 1 cup )eaten over 20 mins ,and you are satisfied each meal
(for 3 to 4 hrs )
(always , eat protein first)it fills you better and lasts longer in the pouch, ,
and you are losing ,1/2to 1kg a weeks ,that ,is great,
most drs are happy with this,
but overall,
I suggest the dr is the best to ask about fills,
as they , all have different idea's
Also ,
as we are all different,
with different (workloads and needs etc)
eg the person doing Manual Labour Work ,and young adults , who go out and about need more
(I am not sure but think ,you were in here,if I remember correctly from an earlier chat , )
if so remember to have a little more
obviously this may need to be more meals
(maybe 4meals,(rather than 3 meals a day but same amounts to eat )
as ateenager you still need more ,
than a housewife who does a bit of housework
One guy ,
I know passed out at work ,recently
as he was dehydrated/and not eating enough , on a hot day (manual labour worker,)
his band had recently been adjusted ,(only a bit )
but enough to limit his breakfasts too much,
Remember
the dr will guide you which way to go ,
just be honest with them ,tell them if you are not feeling full ((on 1/2 to 1 cup of food ,or hungry too often ))regularly,
and they will advise you ,
all the best,Doreen |

yes 65kg was my original weight( I thought of )
a weight I knew I liked ,me /my body
have wanted to achieve for it again for so long ,
but saw it as too hard
still not at 25bmi
but
more than happy ,have been so much happier since I got to size 12 (that was my size goal )
any weight Ihave lost since getting to a size 12 has been such a bonus and now ,I am in mostly 8's
no aching back etc
and I feel great ,
Really find ,nothing gets me down now ,
just getting so into the positive thinking has helped me so much as well
well that and talking about things
that bother me ,
I cannot change everything but I do what I can to try and encourage my family and friends to see a positive in every thing even the negative stuff ,
today in brisbane is so overcast ,so gonna go hang washing inside
have a great day ,Doreen |

corrin,
how much fill do you have ,
do not stress it may take several fills ,I had about 4 fills before I got any restriction but some needless /some more and I then had a slight overfill and needed .25 of a ml out ,
but I never run my band tight ,so I can still eat steak etc(well chewed ,like smooth peanut butter )
Do not be embarrassed ,so many do not start losing weight until well restricted
you need to go get fill to start to lose weight
booking in was the first step
now just make sure you attend,
keep me posted ,Doreen |

Riss lapband,
I have lost 20kgs in 4 mths and I consider that a very good effort. I never did the optifast stage as it interferred with some medications I am taking so my weight loss is just from the band. I have always told my doctor what I have been doing and he has been so supportive. I only have 4mls in a 14 band and I see him every fortnight and we discuss whether I will have a fill and how much.Without him,(Mr Arthur, Traralgon )I would not be as far as I am today. He only expects a .5kg weight loss a week, so he is realistic and has empathy for his patients. Good luck Shirley |
