| Oh Di what a darling your son is! Think we all need to accept that compliment :-) Same response from my two girlfriends, had to pick up jaws from the ground...lol... I'm so looking forward to Wednesday, can't wait to stop sabotaging my exercise with binging. Been walking so much I can really feel the benefits on my behind...a lot firmer! Yiihhhaaaa! Neens |

| Hi everyone... well done everyone on your losses this week! A loss is a loss after all... and Neen's I'm sure after Wednesday you'll feel it all start to happen again..... Yes - I do like my band tight. Another friend of mine has just over 9mls in her 10ml band. She is at goal now and it is looser so she eats plenty! Well - not plenty but you know what I mean. I think because it has been a gradual increase I just don't notice how tight it is. I certainly notice when I need a fill though!! And the difference can be within a day. It's weird how our body works. Now - on another note - I printed out our book & left it on the dining room table to read with a cuppa. My teenage son found it. He came out and said WOW - mum - you guys have all lost a hell of a lot of weight. And he said that we are all amazing and should be proud!! He's 15!! He also said that he knew i had lost heaps but until he saw my photos in the book he didn't really realise how different I look. So I think that we can stand with our heads held REALLY high!! Well done everyone from my boy!! lol... Cheers Di |

| Thanks for that Di, it helps just to get an idea of what other people in your situation are doing. I'm thinking about getting another .25 because I can eat toast now and I'm starting to pick because of being peckish, where before I wasnt feeling like that. Hi to Trish and Nina and hope things improve for you both soon as well. We have all done Very Well. Ev xx |

| Hi All, Nina well done on the weight loss thats great. I havent been so lucky this week on .03 down, but a loss is a loss. I am now 90.7 Kilo just 700 grams and l will be living in the 80's. I have 2.75 mil in my 3 mil band now (6 mil in total band) and l am really happy, when l had 3 mil l was over full so l will stay here for a while and see how things go. Di you are doing so well, cant believe your band is so tight you must be so well trained to maintain it without any PBing, you go girl. Its amazing that everyone is so different with the amount of fill isn't it, my sisiter has the same band as me and she cant have anymore than 2.5 mil is hers other wise nothing goes down, and a friend has 5.5 mil is her 6 mil band and eats anything, just smaller portions. Crazy how this little band works, but l love it. Cheers Trish |

| Hi Trish and all, well I'm going to pull out a "no-weigh-pass" this week....are we allowed to? lol... Well just for the record I've gone from 103.3 to 102...so going down again a little bit. BRING ON WEDNESDAY! QUICK! Di you really are running the band tight! I'll be asking for a 1ml fill, have about 7ml's from memory and it's so not enough. Wonder what does happen when you go from great restriction to nothing in a short period of time? Neens |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Ev I eat all my normal stuff Ev. I've listed an average day for you below: Bfast - Up & Go Mid morning - 2 cruskits with tuna or phily cheese or tomato etc Lunch - Could be anything from last nights left overs, cruskits with any of the above, salad with meat, pasta etc Dinner - whatever the family are having - just in much smaller portion sizes. I have garlic prawns, chicken kiev, lasagne, spag bolognase, pasta, chicken mornay, chicken mignon, potato, pumpkin, cauliflower. Some nights take away could be chicken strips from kfc, fish n chips, pizza (only eat the top off it though) etc etc. Sometimes ice cream for dessert. I certainly don't feel like I am missing out on anything. My portion sizes are quite small but that's the way I like it. I think that I am eating more variety now than what i was before my band. I also drink plenty of water/cordial through the day. I also have a coffee in the morning too. I don't have many pb's anymore. Only when I eat way to quick or put too much in my mouth or its too dry. Hope that this helps Ev..... Cheers Di |

| Di, with having so much in your band, how and what do you eat? I only have about 3.5 in my 10ml band. Very cautious about getting more in case I start bringing things back up. Ev xx |

| Hey everyone.... Neens - I would love to have some bits done! The b00bs for sure - they so need to be put back where they should be rather than having to tuck them into my pants!! lol.... I think I would love love LOVE to have my thighs done. It's always been a problem area for me so there are saggy bits of skin between my butt & top of the legs. But I figure I can cover it up cause it's not like I'll ever be a model or anything like that!! Don't stress about what your food etc at the moment Neens, I'm sure once you get your fill you'll be back on track again...How is the house hunting going?? Hoping that you find something soon... I've been thinking of ya..... Had .3 added yesterday - so nearly at 9mls in my 10ml band. I really like having tight restriction - it really makes me feel very much in control. Hopefully this should be the last one before goal! yay.... Anyways - that's it for me today. Hope that everyone is going great guns as I'm sure you are!! Chat to you all soon.... Di |

| Hi guys, you have just made me cry, thanks so much to every one of you for your compassion and caring...I'm speechless quite often nowadays with you all! Kazza I'm in Geelong and looks like the rental situation is the same everywhere...have to pray for a miracle or a very understanding investor. I just blew the whole 1.5hr walk last night with binging, bring on Wednesday and fill! I'm not doing any weights at the moment, just walking. Looks like I'm in for some very extensive plastic surgery when I get to my goal, bits are sagging everywhere and no exercise is going to fix that. Arms and tummy are the worst...how are you guys going with that? Does many of you need plastics? Neens |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Neens finally you and your son an have a little peace now that the ex has gone good luck with the house hunting it very hard not too sure were you are in oz but Brisbane is certainly hard to fine something exercising word should be classed as 4 letter word but i too have found that we must move a bit to keep the weight moving i have started doing some arm exercises with 1.5 kg weights and all ready i have felt the difference just a little every morning and night i had a fill 2week ago and still a little tight but the weight is moving slowly some friends of mine have a little saying active and attractive:-) Keep well Kazza |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Nina, Dont worry about it, life is hectic and we couldnt possibly keep up with every thing. I am so glad that my over fill wasnt in vain, weight loss is amazing. Somtimes l just cant believe that l have come so far in such a small amount of time. Its amazing that Di only has 5 kilos to go to get to goal just cant wait to be there. Nina hope the house takes ages to sell so that you have time to find where your going, there would be nothing worse that finding out you have no where to live. Take care Trish |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Di I just can't comprehend....5kg's to goal!!! Now that is just sooooooo awesome! Hope you've had a good rest last night... 4am wake up call and a full day of interviews must be hard...take care of yourself ok! I'm not actually LOVING the exercise but looks like I need to do it to lose. Feel so much better after a long walk, really refreshed and energized. Been walking that much lately that my toenail is turning blue from the pressure...lol...new shoes! Not sure how I'm feeling about the sale of the house at the moment...looking forward to getting my share of the equity but that won't help me find another apartment right now...rental market is terrible right now. Trish I'm so sorry I've completely ignored your achievement at last weeks weigh-in...well done girl and you are doing so well!! Glad you lost a lot, would've been annoying if all that trouble with the overfill would've left you with a gain! So in a weird way it was worth it? But don't do it again please, we were worried! Hope everyone is having a great day :-) Nina |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lol Neens - its all good. Imagine if we didn't edit it first how long they would have been!! That will be next years version - when we are all at goal!!!! Sweet - lets hope the house doesn't sell! especially in the current climate. Whenever you know there is going to be an inspection turn the music up loud, stop doing housework & leave the sink full of dishes. Maybe that might help!! Well done on your exercise! you are soooooo good. I just hate using that word and my name in one sentence!! I'm heading off for a fill on Friday morning. Rang Laura today & this should be my last one until I reach goal!! I really like how I can read my body now. And how quickly it changes. One day I'll be fine, then within a couple of days the portion sizes go up, hunger comes back etc etc. My weight loss has been super slow the last 4 or 5 weeks so I know it's time for another. Not much - probably just .3 or something like that. I figure if this is maintenance though it's going to be great!! Well - that's about it from me today. I'm in Brisbane & I've been up since 4 this morning and then interviewing all day today - very draining...... so off to dinner soon and then early night tonight.... take care everyone... Di xo |

| Write about the last 12 months??? Guys I just blurbed my whole life....LOL! I was worried about mine being too long and edited quite a lot out of it, but in the end thought hey... this IS what I have to say so if it's too long winded just skip most of it! Guys I'm updating what's happening in my personal life again, this is a good way for me to go back and see what happened and when because I don't keep a diary. Me and my son are now living in the family home, ex moved out 3 weeks ago with the help of an interim intervention order (which it was at that time). On Monday I found out that he's putting the house on the market on Saturday so me and my son have nowhere to go at the moment...hoping it'll be a long settlement when the house gets sold or we'll be in trouble. Been walking every day for more than an hour and the scales are almost back to normal. Looks like I need to move my butt or the weight won't go anywhere at the moment, so have to stay active and I'll be in goal for my two year time limit I gave myself :-) Hope all is well :-) Neens |

| Hey Kazza The story book is only being given to people that have contributed to it. I'm sure your story will come out naturally once you start writing. I've got lots of paper so there is no word limit!! I'll look forward to getting it. Cheers Di |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| thanks trish i thing i will give it a go kazza |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Kazza, when l say to write my story l thought what will lwrite and l started typing and the story wrote its self, and l wondered if it was to long. Write from the heart, just be honest about the last 12 months and how you made the decision to have your lap band done. Most of all enjoy remembering how you got to where you are today. Cheers Trish |

| You're welcome Janette - but honestly - all I did was put YOUR story into a combined book. Everyone has done the hard work - not me. If it wasn't for all your hard work - there would be no story to tell.... And it is very true what you said Janette - same same but different..... Ellee - I love that - noo noo head!!! I sitting here cracking up.... As soon as you send me the blurb & another photo I'll add you in as well. Anyone else that is interested - sending a photo from before your journey - and one taken now - 12 months later - with a bit of a story and I'll be more than happy to add in to our story book. dreamscomingture08@yahoo. com.au Keep Smiling and happy reading.... Di |

The stories are interesting to read, our journeys are all very similar and yet different, if that makes sense. Us April "bandits" rock as has been said before Thankyou Di for all your efforts.
