Hi all,Good to see the names checking in.
Hasn't the time flown- 15 weeks since op. About 20kgs gone but 16kg was pre-op. Great getting smaller but I am finding it difficult to withdraw from the big girls shops
:(
Still having issues with wound- maybe I need to have port removed as it burst Friday evening whilst at work, through the healed wound scar! I had a busy packed week with a home birth and then the rostered work on the team.
Back to packing today, thank heavens I hadn't thrown things out! I have the shivers and shakes, despite oral AB's this evening so maybe back to hospital for the antibiotic IV although he did say next time it (the port) would be out.
Cheers Barb |

Morning all
Good to see a few old names checking back in -
Well done on the cruise chrys and not putting on any - its the good thing about the band - having the ability to choose and being satisfied with a little bit - certainly beats the deprived feeling one gets when "dieting"
Hey Col - good to hear from you again - Parma hey! they should have morsel sized portions and we would all be okay. Was out on a dinner date last Friday and got that horrible stuck feeling - most embarassing - had to make a mad dash to the ladies - hard to explain when the person you are with doesnt know you are banded...........ah - next time I will make sure that I stick with pasta or soup! Reduces the risk!
Hope you are all starting to notice the difference in your bodies and heads with banding...........since I started banding my bum is van ishing - nice feeling!
Cheers

| G'day Judy...Glad to hear you are well...I bet you can't wait for the port to be redone...I suppose it is all hard work at the moment trying to maintain the weight without the band support...keeping the brain thinking in the right direction.I have slipped up a couple of times but generally stayed on track.I had my first chicken parma whilst down there at a pub and bloody hell it was nice.I took a long time to eat it but it was well worth it.Didn't eat anything else on the plate though....they are big.I remember back in August one of your group talking about the parma for there last supper and I knew I had to give one a shot.I over did the food allowance that day but ohhhh wellll....bye for now ...Col |

Hi everyone.....have returned from my cruise and trip to Europe....it was fantastic!!!!
I was able to eat whatever I chose to....but smaller quantities....I did not feel deprived whatso ever and although the cruise offered the works....food wise....I enjoyed whatever and the best part is I did not put on any weight...certainly didn't lose any....but if that had a been before my band Iwould certainly have put a few kgs back on. I am really happy about that.
Although I never exercised a great deal..we did lots of walking etc...sothat prob helped.:-))
I am to have a fill tomorrow which Iam looking forward to as I have not had a lot as I knew I was going away...so it has been about 7 weeks since my last fill.
I am really keen and motivated now to really begin the rest of this journey now:-))
:-))Keep smiling everyone

| I unfortunately embarrassed myself on Friday evening... but I was only with my hubby, son & his girlfriend, so not too bad. But it was a beauty! Never used to have that problem but since banding, boy... I am as full as a wind sock on a blustery day. |

Hahaha... that is funny. I know how you feel, sometimes they just come out of my mouth without warning, very embarassing... blushing thinking about it.

Hi Col
No worries there will be another time. Glad to hear your son is doing well.
My brother fell over coming down an steep driveway a bit under the influence and has torn the nerves off his shoulder he has just had surgery after nearly 6mths to attach them back on and has at least 6mths rehab ahead and will probably only get 40 - 50% usage back...
All well here I will get the port back in in Early Jan and so far loss is 12kg and staopped there.....
Regards
Judy |

| My restriction is just right. I can only eat a small amount and I feel full for a long time. My only worry is ...will it last? Usually after a week everything seems to relax and I can eat well again. I dont see him again until just before xmas and then he says I wont need to see him again on a regular basis. |

greebs,
at my last appoiontment i was worried my doc would be dissapointed with my loss, but he was thrilled! any loss is a good thing, no matter how small. even if you havnt fine tuned the band yet- it will happen, its early days!
dont fret too much- we will get there! :) |

| Just had my fourth fill. I can feel its pretty tight. I had some soup and then some thigh chicken. I chewed it to death and all seems ok. He only put 0.4 mil in. Still makes a difference. |
