Hi Marion - it's been pretty quiet in here - must be the cold weather!
Hi Gem - dinner really is quite difficult to organi sed - I haven't been able to get a single one yet ... what about a lunch at you restaurant?
Kristy =)
PS. Can you believe my word with a space in it is considered offensive but they let that ay-hole abuse us and never removed the message even after he got reported?! |

Well the concensus seems to be a NO GO for dinner that night. Will can it for now and see about something another time or when we get the lunch thing happening.
Maybe better luck next time.

Hi Katrina - personally I think I would be inclined to enjoy my holiday and get back on track when I got home. Don't beat up on yourself - you have lost almost as much as I have in less than half the time.
I assume you are at 6.5ml? I have 7.5ml and that was when it really hit me!
I have seriously astounded myself by being able to consume the amount of water that I do as I would really struggle in the old days with even a few glasses per day. What about adding a little bit of cordial to your water to make it more palatable? I haven't tried these but have seen those water weight loss additives like Xooma advertised - maybe you should give them a go?
Enjoy your hol ... where are you headed? We'll hopefully catch up down your way upon your return.
Kristy =) |

Hey Kristie,
Hows things over your way??
I'm about to go on Holidays in a couple of weeks so i'm a little worried too!! Yes i tend to over indulge in the alcohol dept>>
I'm Hanging out to go back for another fill!!! DrW said not to come back until after hols But i am so overeating and feeling disgusted in myself!! grrr it;s so frustrating!! I've been so slack on the excercise and not drinking enough water. Is there anyone else out there struggling because this is driving me nuts!! I want to go back early for a fill but at least i will enjoy my holiday without being able to eat nothing( should i be looking at it that way) or should i get of my A and get a fill???
I just don't seem to get a very big restriction for long does this get any better i have only had 2 fills??
Gem,
I also won't be able to make it as i am working that night as i would have just got back from holidays!! Bummer but a day thing would probably suit me better too...

Oh yay Gem - good for you! I know everyone says it and you don't really believe them, but the time will go by quicker than you think. I stopped thinking about it all for a while (well tried to at least) and that helped. I think I must have driven my family crazy talking about it all the time. Distraction works wonders.
All is good here - put on a few kilos over the holidays - damn chocolate and wine with friends ha ha! I am back to where I was previously as I've been pretty good for a week or so and it will hopefully start moving again soon. Shakes in the morning, a wrap at lunch time and a smaller amount of whatever the rest of the gang are eating for dinner. I often have a Milo a bit later on - it's my treat for the day!
Hope to catch you again soon too. Maybe a lunch in Busso would be good? I went to Samovar a couple of months back and really enjoyed it.

Hi Gem, I would love to come and see if I can get down another "Death by Chocolate" but we have visitors that weekend. I highly recommend the food to everyone else though - it was scrum-diddly-umptious!

thanks nicole,
I am very similar...have a meal and finish it so to speak and do snack on and off... not chocolate and lollies and doughnuts but i guess whatever it is it is a snack. I can lose small bits of weight too on diets but cannot seem to keep it of... Plus I never seem to feel full when I eat.

yeah what dietician are you seeing gem.
I saw lana brandli and she was really good. I was just truthful and told her what i eat which wasnt to bad for the meals ( portions were to big) and that i did admitt to snacking when i shouldnt. I also told her how many diets i had been on and that i had lost weight but always put it back on. i told her that i was sick of yo yo dieting and wanted this taken out of my control.
By the way i had the sleeve, but i dont think that would make a difference with what you say.
I hope this helps a bit

Hey Gem I hope someone who has seen her can help you.
I got the feeling that she wanted to hear that you were making an effort now and not eating junk and trying to eat healthy food. Remember she also said no dramas or big events happening in your life. To be exercising 30-60mins a day.
I would practice writing down everything you eat for a few days and then record your three days for her when you are having good eating days then explain that you have really been trying. You don't have to go to extremes because she said if you write down that you are only having 600 cals a day she will see right through it. Also on the three days you record try not to have any sweets and soda. I think someone was rejected because they drank coke and had a sweet tooth.
You coming up on friday?

hey all,
Got a question for you lovelies who have seen the dietician!
Have been told that she has rejected about 5 people of late for banding and was wondering to expect when you go there... I have already got my banding date and as I dont have my dieticians appointment till late August (Due to being rescheduled twice) I am really nervous about the appointment and being rejected. Not really sure what to do apart from tell them the truth... I mean we all know what is the right and Healthy things to eat and whats not.
Argggghhh feeling a bit worried cos so excited to be getting banded that I dont want to lose it now I got the date!
ANY words of wisdom/advice would be great!!

Hi Gem I am on my way also but I am going to get the sleeve instead. I have an appoinment in 3 weeks with a surgeon in Perth. Hoping to be sleeved by mid october. :)
The dieticians staff at the hospital are hard to deal with at times.

hi cinni,
hel yeah am i excited..and nervous of course....
Why did you cancel your appointment? Are you still on the way there too? He gave me my op date after the dieticians cancelled and changed my appointment on me 3 times. Next try to see the dietician is on the 20th August so we will see if they change it again... hehe I hope not cos it rather annoying.
So I am in COUNTDOWN mode...54 days to go till i am an official "bandit" Then the hard work begins. YAY
Hope everyone is well.

Gem that is amazing!!! Congrats on getting a date.
It would be great to be getting the surgery so close to home also. I actually rang and cancelled my dieticians appointment and asked if I could give my appointment to someone else (I had you in mind) but they said no! So I am so glad to hear it will be a short wait for you.
Julie I really am sorry you are going through this it just absolutely sucks.
Nicole you are just doing so brilliantly! :)

hi guys, just thought i would check in and say hi.
Im glad your home and feeling well jo2, will catch up soon.
congrats gem on getting your date, it will fly by, trust me.
On the home side of things, im feeling well, went back to work this week felt a bit tired the last few nights but not to bad. I have now lost 15kg which is just amazing, my clothes are getting really baggy, i have already given away heaps, but there is nothing left in the shops so im on very limited clothing at the moment.
well must go, i hope your all well

Welcome home Jo. Be sure to get lots of rest even though you are feeling good - you still need time to heal ... get the family looking after your every need!
Hope to see you soon when you are feeling up to it.
