| Please excuse my ignorance but can someone tell me what "roflmao" means? Also, are you talking about blogs on another site with pictures?? I guess I should read back a few pages...or be less of a buttinsky. Sandi |

| lol Sandi.. I mentioned to hubby if I need a tummy tuck maybe I can get a b00b job too because they are the only parts on my body that don't have excess fat!!!! I want to wear.....ummmm... nothing... no no no... bad mental image again.. sorry... a really nice pair of hipster jeans with a shirt tucked in and a nice pair of high heels... I think that would do me just fine. Oh and of course the wet suit when we go swimming with the dolphins at Sea World on our 12 month bandiversary!!! happy thoughts.... :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Fiona... when you go into your page, there is a tool bar that has something about downloading photos. If you click on that it will take you through the steps on how to do it.. (I think).. i just click on stuff and see what happens!!! How come you can't have banana?? is it bad for us?? I haven't asked my dr. Go back in 3 weeks so maybe I should ask then..... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Guys, what do you want to be able to wear when you lose weight?? I'm dreaming of fitted tops....and maybe a little black dress. Will never be brave enough for a bikini.....stretch marks are enough of a turn off. As soon as I've paid off the lap band surgery I'll need to start saving for the tummy tuck!! Sandi |

| sandi, I know where your coming from. Your story sound's a lot like mine. Post first baby depression hit and weight went on. Lost some weight, then had second baby and depression hit again, and more weight went on! Now I keep losing and then gain twice as much! No more I say! time to look after me for a change!! fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| heheheheheh! Oh di, my neighbours and I were discussing me wearing lycra tights when I get thin the other day. Mental image alert, warning, warning!!!lol fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The nice thing about forums like this Fiona is that if you get worried or scared you can talk about it with others who are going through it to and can empathise. Di, I have about 40kg to lose. My BMI is 36. I piled on the weight after the birth of my son in 1991, lost it all only to find I was pregnant again and managed to keep it off while my daughter was a baby but since then I've gained steadily. Every time I summon the will-power to go to Weight Watchers (or the gym with any regularity) I lose a little and then gain it back plus some. In the last year I've just given up...eat my emotions and hide in a pattern of sleep and work. |

| Banana smoothie, mmmmmmm, bugger! I won't be allowed to have banana. boohoo. Hey di, My goal is 50kg's too! Now back to computer moron talk. How do you put you picture with your comments??? I did try, but no go. ( I know, I'm doing something wrong)lol. fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh Fiona.... nnnnnoooooo, the mental image that I have left you with is bad enough!! I would rather model something in lycra than put that photo on my blog... And there is no way I would do that.... I have only just got you guys as friends so I don't want to scare you away just yet!!! lol..... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Sandi.. this is great for venting!! If you read through you will read lots of it!! lol.. I know what you mean. I would just like to be able to sit in a kayak without it tipping over!! What are your statics (only if you want to share of course)? I want to loose 50kgs and then will see if I want to keep going or are happy at that weight. The banana smoothie even nearly tastes naughty so that's always for the head games that go on!! I don't know about the coffee and the liver?? Di |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| roflmao, di pleeease can we see!!!! sandi, I am allowed a piece of fruit and 1 cup of veges, but seeing as how I hate vege's it's going to be interesting. I am from melbourne, and yes I am alittle nervous about the op. I'm sure I'll be freaking out by the time it comes around! A bit of a worrier I am.lol Fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Di, It is exciting isn't it? I'm determined for 08 to be my year - my weight has got in the way of me doing so many things for so long now and I'm sick of it. I want to go kayaking on Brisbane Water (without a fear of getting stuck...or worse still, sinking the kayak) and I want to be able to sit on the train without people giving me the evil eye if they have to sit next to me....sorry, venting. I like the idea of a banana smoothie....if I can have fruit I might try that. Someone else suggested a shot of expresso in the Vanilla shake....but I'm not sure coffee is great for your liver. Sandi |

| Welcome Sandi!! I have the chocolate Opti and the vanilla was foul until I added a banana - now it's yummy and a bit like a dessert!! I was on Opti for a couple of weeks and lost nearly 3 kgs. I like Fiona start Monday week for the 6 weeks seriously before the op which is on April 4. OMG.. 6 weeks.... getting exciting... April 1st hey??? my hubby would think that was so funny if it was my date of surgery... where are you from Sandi? Di |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks for the welcome Fiona. I'm from NSW - live on the Central Coast and work in Sydney. You poor thing...6 weeks on Optifast - I thought 3 weeks was bad. Can you have anything besides the shakes? Some people say they can have 1 piece of fruit and a cup of veges each day...I don't really know what to expect, though I'm seeing a dietician a couple of days before I start Optifast. Where are you from? Are you nervous about the operation? Sandi |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh yah Fiona. I was just about to reply to you.... I'll wait for your now!! Di |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ROFLMAO Nina.... that's funny and its ok you can blame me. I'm use to it!! Being in HR and all it's always my fault!! At lease we got to see what you look like you blonde bomb shell you!! The beauty of having 55 days(oh we are getting there) is that we can go off the rails for a day and not feel guilty. I have been off it all week and will be for the next week too due to been away. I figure next time I go away I will be banded so I'm going to order special dietry requirements on the plane etc. So pleased you have got all your settlement sorted out though. Yes - I will be on the net from Perth. Have the faithful laptop with me so will all be good. Likewise - would love to hear from the April newbies and your stories. It's going to be a great month. Hey I went shopping today and went past BeMe and they are having a huge(pardon the pun lol) sale. I got some new work pants down from $70 a pair to $15!! So I brought 3 new pairs - but in size 16!! Then I will have an incentive to get into them. Figure I am going to squeeze into them now and take a photo(don't worry won't inflict THAT on you - for my eyes only) and then when I get to wear them I will be able to take a photo when they fit..... Di |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It's okay di, I figured out how to get on your blog!! yay fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hi sandi! welcome to the april bandits. oh you poor thing april 1st! I hope your not superstitious.lol I personally like the strawberry opti the best. choc is okay too, vanilla is foul and the choc bars are nice if you want something to chew! I havn't done the soups as I've heard they are foul. I tried opti back in november before I went to see the surgeon. I start monday week for 6 weeks pre-op. my date is 7th april. where are you from? fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi there all you April bandits, I was just reading through the Optifast thread - trying to decide what flavour shakes and bars I should buy...and whether I should even attempt the soups....in readiness for my 3 week pre-surgery diet to commence on 11 March (nothing like being prepared)....when I happened across the April Banding thread. My surgery is scheduled for April 1st - and no I'm not joking (though I do admit to being a little psyched out by the date...) Kind regards, Sandi |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi all, okay I'm going to admit this. I am a complete computer techno moron!! I tried to look at di's blog but all I got was some adverts for picz.com? huh, I must be doing something wrong, heeeelp!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cherie you message makes me giggle (well actually cackle) every time I read it. Look forward to sharing the journey with you! Now for the interrogation! Where are you from? Who's your doc etc... we want to know all! Well of course all that you want to reveal that is :-) Nina |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well I was close...it was Gem who signed my book not Meg... must've had my glasses on backwards! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OK now how did this happen! Di, I went to write something on your blog and I was told I need to register before I do that. So off I go to register and before I know it, Meg (I believe) had already signed my guest book and now I'm well on my way to having my own blog too. DI!!!!! I BLAME YOU!!! Lol... Anyhoo, how is everyone today? I have been eating pizza like mad and totally off the diet for today. Been under so much stress I finally caved in and said STUFF IT! One day won't kill me. Tomorrow back on the saddle! Di, will you have internet connection from Perth or will we have to miss you for the whole week? Rachelle I'm still amazed about how badly you have been treated, really wish you all the best. Chin up chickie, we'll do this together! Would love to hear more from our April newbies, would you guys be interested in sharing stats? Who's your doctor, where you live, what made you decide to get banded etc? Nina |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Fiona... it was a big step putting all my info (mainly my weight) on the web for the whole world to see!!! Would live to hear your comments!!! How about emailing a photo of those of you that I haven't seen?? my email is dreamscomingtrue08@yahoo. com.au | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi guys, that's great to hear nina! You must be so relieved. Di, I will have a look at you blog in a minute. Can't wait to see you!!! Fiona |
