| Hi Nina, I have had my fill put back in again now, and lm doing really well. I had a week with out the fill and l really tried really hard not to over eat and stick to my eting plan. I was good all week and l only gained a kilo, simply because of the increased size of the meals. At my lst weigh in l was 86.6 kilo so l am so happy, even with a few up and downs l wouldnt change a thing, l love my band and the new body, life and all the friends that it has given me. Take Care Trish |

| Trish you are doing so well!!! Bloody well done woman :-) How are you going with the unfill? Mermaid that's just not good enough from the docs offices, they should have fitted you in as soon as you approached them with a concern. Grr they make me mad! Kazza good advice, I'll go back to reading Prof O'Brien's book tonight and spend some time surfing these boards to get some motivation too. I'll see you here on Sunday for a weigh-in, once again, whoever wants to join in is more than welcome! Take care all you beautiful ladies, Nina |

| Hi Nina and all thanks for the condolences life must go on i am really pleased that my girls got close to such a lovely lady if only for such a short time well we are all approx 16 month mark i feel we are all starting to have a few hick up along our journey we must all remember this is not a race it a journey of life and we all have up and downs in life we all have lost a large amount of weight more than ever before and have maintained at least 80 to 90 % of the total lost so a few kg here and their is just living life but what is important is that we stop and think and get back to the rules !!!!!!!! and off we go again it like riding a bike if you fall off you just get up and get back on i also would like to start weekly weights in again Kazza |

| Hey Girls, I am hearing your pain, I am at my goal weight but had a major blockage too, vomiting for a week, totally dehydrated, had to drive myself 4 hours to see the dr, was worried I would passout. No food for 5 days. arrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhh not good. At first I could not even get past the receptionist to see the dr, then in the middle of the night I could take no more, so emailed the practice, let them know that I would be on my way and the dr better see me!!!! They called me that morning and fitted me in. Dr took 4 mil out sent me away for a hour said go drink something see how you feel, went back he put 3 mil back in, I am like nooooo just put 2 back, lol, I negotiated to 2.5, lol. What an ordeal, he told me to be careful and not put on weight, just remember how far we have come, this is no farkin miricale cure, and we are human, we are on this road togther whatever happens, peace and light lovlies, Mermaid XXXX |

| Hi Nina and Beth, l just wanted to pop in and say neither of you has failed, never be ashamed to have gained, we are all doing well in our own way. A samll gain is nothing when you consider where we came from. I have had to have all my fill removed last week with a major blockage, so who knows what will happen with the scales. I go back on monday to have fill put back, although it will only be a small fill. My last weigh in was 86.6 kilo to give me a total of 48.4 kilos lost. l only look at the lost amount and dont worry about a smalll gain, because at the end of the month as long as l am a little bit less l am happy. Keep up the good work girls you are doing so well.:-) Remember we are never alone there is always some one here that is going throught the saem things. Trish |

| Beth, please don't be upset! You are not alone, I know what you are going through. Our doctors are there to help us with our weight loss, they are not there to judge us. If they do that...well time to find a supportive doctor then. I'm feeling the same way than you in regards of being angry with myself, but not once have I felt that this is another failed diet! I've lost 30kg's and without the band that would never have happened. Where are you with your weight loss journey? I still have another 20kgs to loose and I know I'll get there.. and so will you, I have NO DOUBT in my mind :-) When you are ready IF you want lets start the weekly weigh-ins here again, and be accountable to each other about our progress? I was weighing in here with Trish for 6 months before dropping off because I was embarrased for not losing any weight. Let me know how you are going and remember, you are NOT alone, I'm here for you :-) Lots of hugs to you, Nina |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nina, Thanks for responding. You seem to be doing it tough too. Although it isn't a race, when I think I have put on more like 6kg I do feel like I have failed another weightloss strategy. In the scheme of what my mother is going through it isn't a big deal but I dread disappointing her too. I just have to work up the courage to face the Fill doctor. It seemsalmost a joke to put on so much weight when we have gone through all this to lose weight...Nevermind, I am sure I will it's just at the moment I am feeling very cross with myself. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kazza :-( My concolances...and *hugs* coming your way too. How are you feeling? This thread sure is quiet nowadays, everyone seems to be getting on with their lives which is fantastic! I've hit a few hurdles too, some pretty bad ones including finding out I need urgent back surgery and that my son's father has gone back to using drugs...hence I'm not so worried about the 4kg gain. I'll deal with it when my head is in the right space again. Lots of love to all you April girls, missing the catch-ups here :-) Nina |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Beth I'm so sorry to hear what you and your family are going through...my thoughts are with you all. I'm in the same boat as you, had 1ml taken out a few weeks ago and have stacked on 4kg's! 4kg's! I got fill taken out because I couldn't even swallow liquids anymore, and my doc told me to expect a gain. Really, in the big picture...who cares? When we are ready to go and get a fill done again, the weight loss will happen again. Remember, it's so not a race, it's a journey. Give yourself time to deal with what you need to and then get back to losing weight. You know when you are ready :-) I'll be thinking of you... Nina |

| Hi all Haven'T been on much as i have family issues i had a lovely birthday went to yeppoon with the girls a lovely time was had by all when i arrived home i had a beautiful puppy waiting for me and then all hell happened to cut things short i have lost my aunt who i was in total care of Queensland health has a lot to answer for but she passed away on the 10th august so have had a rough time over the last couple of weeks i had .5 taken out as i lost 4kg in 5days with stress things are now settling down i am off to the the states in october for 5 weeks so am looking forward to that how is every one traveling the board seems a bit quiet so keep up the good work every one kazza |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I haven't been on here for ages but I was wonderinf if anyone has had my experience.I had one mill taken out two months ago, in response to the stress I was under with my mother's recent terminal cancer news. At first it was liberating, not having to worry about pbing, and I still kept to the 1 cup of food,but in recent weeks I seem to have reverted to my old habits of biscuits, icecream and chocolate. So as you can imagine the scales have gone up and I am really ashamed of myself and almost too embarrassed to go back for more fill. I feel like this is another weightloss attempt I have failed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Lisa Thank you so much for your lovely words! That is really encouraging to hear. It really is a fantastic journey & I have learnt so much about myself during the last 18 months. I am quite surprised in the changes that I have made that I never even thought of when I started. When is your surgery? Email me so that I can follow your progress! dianne@qldwls.com Thanks again for your lovely words. Cheers Di |

| Hi Di, Just wanted you to know I read your "blog"(?? - I hope that's what it's called) after looking through old threads on this site with your photos and everything! What an inspiration you are! I got tears in my eyes seeing what a difference your weight loss has made. You look so much younger and really beautiful. If I was doubting my decision to have this surgery - it's certainly gone now. Just wanted to let you know how impressed my daughter and I are with you and I hope I'm half as successful. Congratulations and best wishes for more success! Lisa (a soon-to-be bandit) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm maintaining really well and loving being able to eat more with a couple of extra treats thrown in! I'm managing to stay probably 1.5kgs either side of my goal weight.I'm sitting just under 71kgs now so very happy with that! Our nw business is going well. We had our first little article in a local mag that came out today. Have had a great response so far! We've got another mag shoot this Friday so it's all good!

| Hi everyone, well it sure has been quiet! Sort of nice to see that everyone is busy but it echo's in here! Soooo....confession time. I moved house a week ago and it's fantastic! So happy here, both me and my son :-) Why the confession you say? Well...so far I've had 4 house warming parties and there doesn't seem to be an end at all. Party central! I'm STILL the same weight, no loss no gain, I'd deserve to be 100+ though the way I'm hoovering in wine...shame on me! Have a touch of an overfill so finally relented and made an appt for a little unfill for next week. Having problems with all that is healthy and that is just not good! Hope everyone is well, I'll try and log on a bit later and type some reply's :-) Nina |
