| Congrats Shan, See I told you, you couldn't possibly be doing all that exercise and getting no benefit 11cm of your waist, that is fantastic. Just goes to show....don't rely on the scales, they can give you more grief than you deserve. Sounds like you are finally getting some restriction, go you!!!!! It's all up or should I say Down from here! Good on you! Terri xx |

| Hi all Well I now have a house husband to look after me. Yes Garry got retrenched today. He is feeling quite down and out at the moment. I am trying to be positive and told him it is his time to reassess his job situation. I am sure he will see things clearly next week. I can go back to work fully in 2 weeks so we will see what happens. Got staples out today feeling much better now. Hope everyone is good. Wendy |

| Hi All congrats Wendy on your loss so far, thats an awesome effort! Yeah your right about the scales mate, gunna put them on the back burner for a while. Geez, you got back to work quick smart....good for you!!! Happy Birthday for yesterday Philipa, hope you had a lovely day! Well i had my measurments taken the other day by my trainer and we compared them to the ones taken in July last year and i got some great news. I have lost 10 ks since November last year and 30.5cms off my body since July last year, the largest part disappearing from my waist.....11cms!!!!!! Im wrapped, even if the scales havent changed in a while i think thats pretty darn good still. Question: How is everyone coping with the Biggest Loser this year??? I normally want it and get a little teary but this year im a mess..........every episode i cry like a little girl!!! I told this to my dad and he said why do you watch it then, i thought about this for a while and said to him.....i can relate to everything they are saying, and its a good thing because its making me realise some of the issues i have dealt with and issues that i am left to deal with. I think cos i have finally made the committment to see this thing through its really hitting home to me this year...............wither that or im hormonal...........lol Hope everyone is having a sensational day and is looking forward to the weekend as much as i am. Im in Melbs for another fill on MOnday at 10.15 at Knox. If anyone is there at that time make sure you say hey. Oh and good news, i think i have a little but if restriction ....i went to eat chicken the other day and it got stuck, it didnt come back up but it was kinda like my oesophagus (?) was spasming or something....is that what happens when it gets stuck??? I kinda hurt actually but it eventually stopped so i assume it went through Luv Shan |

| Hi all Philippa you sound more positive than you have in a long while. Happy Birthday for yesterday. I again had pain yesterday afternoon, I rang Cheryl and we think we have figured it out that the shakes I have been having are too fluffy and thick and are putting pressure on my stomach and diaphram. Lot better today, finally drove the car and went into work to help out as while I have been laying around my bosses are stranded in Narbethong and the poor girls at work are under a lot of strain. 2 hours was long enough though but I managed to clear a lot of paper work for them. Shan the girls have given you good advice, I weigh myself every Monday morning and then not again until the next Monday. works for me, I have lost 7kg in 3 weeks but I am sure that will slow when I can eat "real" food again. Hope everyone else is well. Wendy |

| Hi al, what an interesting 2 days I have had. yesterday was my birthday and we celevrated with all the kids - given last year i also had a big celebration lunch at work. Gorgeous Craig gave me a watch and an iPod.. Today he and I went and saw Richard. First of all he was 1/2 and hour late starting, but we sure held him up quite a lot as well. Soory if you were waiting this morning. Craig has had some fill replaced and I ave have put on 2kgs since November, which is n't too bad without a band. I will see him again n 3 months and we contemplate wether we want to do anything further. Poor Richard needed the tissues on his desk for me... PS thinking of you Wendy Cheers Phillipa |

| Hey Erina persistant i am being, i hope they dont think im annoying.....lol. I dont want to wait a month if i have no restriction.....i didnt sign up for that! Thanks for making me feel better about the 'whinging' thing. Im so not a negative person and would hate for people to think that of me after seeing the last few posts from me. Funily enough im feeling the happiest ive felt for a really long time,.....if only the rest would fall into place! I have received some really good advice, im going to 'piss the scales off', ask for my body measurements to be taken each and every time and stay positive Hope that your family is doing well and you are still going great guns with your loss Cheers Shan |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Terri thanks mate, loved your advice and i am going to take you up on that. No more checking EVERY DAY! Thanks for the support it really does mean alot. Im definately going to ask for the body measurements, didnt realise they did that, that could save me some sanity for sure Roast Lamb, yummo, you lucky thing, hope you enjoyed it Hope your doing well!!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hey Lve to travel yeah i should, i hope on them EVERY DAY when i go to the gym cos my trainer told me that depending on how much weight i lost in a workout would make a difference to the amount of water i had to drink to replenish glycogen stores......but you know what, i think your right!!!! Im goin to make a promise to myself that IM NOT HOPING ON THE SCALES UNTIL CHERYL ASKS ME TO ON MONDAY!!! hehehehehe |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shan - I know just how you feel, I was very frustrated and also very scared that the band was not going to work for me. I was ont he boards all the time "whinging" - but please dont feel like you are, this is what everybody is here for. Just keep going back!!! Be persistent with it! And dont get disheartened. Wendy - glad to hear you are home and getting well, must have been a bit of a fright for you. Take care and rest up! Erina |

| Hi all Well I am home again (take 2). Apparently all the gas they give you in surgery went into my diaphram which then went into spasms which caused severe pain in my neck an shoulder. Chris Hensman came into see me Sunday night (what a lovely man) and they gave me morphine and he helped me slow my breathing down. I am all good now looking forward to when I can eat something solid again. Wendy |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gee, mr yahoo must still be in the nigh nigh's, didn't think I would get away with piss!!!!! He he Sorry if that offended anyone! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shan, Try not to get to disheartened darling, you, unlike most of us are exercising, piss the scales off, and make sure everytime that you come for a fill, you ask for a full body measure, I think you will find that it is coming off in cm's if not in weight! You are doing really well, the restriction will come......I have supposedly 12.9 in a 14ml band and still don't have the restriction I feel I should have, I ate roast lamb quite happily last sunday, and I don't exercise. So don't ever feel like you are being a sookie la la on this thread, that's what we are all here for.......support.....so sook on as long as you like sweetie, your doin' fine!!!!! |

| Shan, My surgeon doesnt want me weighing between visits. i must admit that I tend to get on the scales at work every 10 -14 days though just to try and keep on track. maybe you could try not getting on them quite as often to avoid getting tooo stressed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Erina I remember you saying that you had some trouble getting the right amount of fill! Frustrating hey. But i certainly shouldnt be putting on weight like i did last weigh in and im petrified that its going to happen again. Generally making good food choices but have the occasional treat, certainly less than before though. How many visits did it take to get your 7.5 mls in your band. I have 3ml in a 10ml band and was sure id feel something by now. I realise im sounding like a complete whinger all the time on here and i realise its a slow process but i have the feeling that im screwing this up too, even with all the exercise im doing. I got a reminder from Belinda that im due for another appointment so i might have a chat with her. Im so glad that your doing well and hearing that you finaly got there with your restriction gives me some hope that its not too far away!!!! Thanks for your kind words Erina, you are truely lovely CHeers Shan |

| Hi Sue im guessing that my fill is nowhere near right because im eating a little less than before all of this started but certainly not as little as i would like to be eating. I must admit that a few little bad habits have crept back in too, before i realise it i have eaten something 'naughty'. I know how dodgy that sounds but truly happens before ive even realised ive done it. Im making about 90% good food choices so not quite sure while the scales are reaking havoc with me, maybe i should stop getting on them every day!!! I think im just getting a little down that nothing has really started to happen as yet. I know my time will come, im just ready for it now. Im really glad to hear that all went well with the surgeons for you. Must be a tough decision to make. The Dr that specialises in bandits seems like a good option. |

| Hi everyone, just touching base with you all had an appointment for my next fill on 6th March and they told me that i should be ok with the on i had for a month but again its made no difference so i have made one for Monday, i hope he fills it to the brim............lol. Hope everyone is well and still smiling amongst all the tragedy Luv Shan |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well Wendy is in for another night to make sure she is OK Garry |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gary, I hope Wendy is much better today... Last night I bent down to pick something up off the floor and I didnt mend my knees.... I just lent to the left and went over... If I had to explain it better a bit like in the song... with the tea pot.... here is my handle here is my spout now tip me over and pour me out... OMG.. but thats what it was like.. I felt something move.. and now when I bend over I am still a bit sore. Is this something that can happen... or should I be worried? |
