| Hi Elaine, I'm doing well and getting stronger every day. I am driving local now, to the shops and sports training. I find if I try and do too much I get fatigued easily. I'll share this yummy recipe. Cook mince meat, vegies seperately, them combine in dish with cheese on top til it melts. When slightly cool, blend with stock, soya sauce & worshershire sauce til liquid. Looks umm but the taste is divine !!!!! I have been living on custard, yoghurt, soups etc etc. 4 days til mushies, I'm on the count down. Cheers huddydi |

| Hey Gorgeous Silva, Thank you for your well wishes. How are you Bella??? Sorry love I have been so time poor of late, I have not had a chance to look at your usual thread. I hope all the Frydenbergers are doing just great. I haven't really had a chance to think about my op coming up on Monday, as yet. I've been really busy, however, I had my last day at work today. I have School Orientation tomorrow for my little one and then I suppose I will start to really think about things. My God what the hell am I doing??? Just a bit anxious - praying it will not be an open op for me! I still have all of Jan off so please let me know if you guys are catching up! Kara - I'm really happy for you! Once again congratuations. Please cross your fingers for moi!!! Day 25 on Opti for me - 9 kilos down. Take care everyone! LOVE, p1XIE XO |

| Hi P1xie, APRA received my application on the 13th October. In the letter from them it says that "they aim to assess applications within 16 working days of receipt of the last piece of information requested by our assessing team". But when you ring them up, it says 25 working days, and that's what they did. I rang them about 3 times, just to see how things were going, and when they would be able to have an answer for me. But they are going to release all my funds, so that is great. Kara |

| Today was my first day back to work, 10th day banded. It went well, the girls in the office said I looked great. Half the day passed before I actually felt any different, i got hungry when people started heating their lunch and silly me only packed vege soup and yogurt and was a big hungry, so tomorrow I am prepared with the protein. I did start to ache a bit after lunch and got pretty tired, but I think that's because I was having a mid afternoon nap most days I was off work. Hopefully I will get a good night sleep tonight and do a bit better tomorrow! Overall the day went well I think. |

| Hi need to be slim, my bmi is 45. My surgeon poked and prodded around my stomach with his hands at the initial consult and felt everything so I assumed my liver must have been ok. I'm more bottom heavy and smaller top halve so perhaps that could have been why as well. Feeling ok today, had a little walk around the shops and that was good for gas etc. Very little appetite and just sticking to liquids. Fly home tomorrow so hope that goes well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kara - Huge congratulations to you on APRA coming through. I am anxiously waiting myself - do you mind if I ask what date you submitted your app? All the very best! P1xie xo |

| Hi all, I'm 13 days post op, and everything is now going smoothly. No pain at all. I'm now on mushies and enjoying that. I start my day with a poached egg. Morning tea I have a tub of puree fruit or yoghurt. Lunch I've been having a small can of baked beans pureed. Yoghurt/fruit for afternoon tea and at dinner, I just have a small portian of whatever my family is having but pureed! It's so bizare in having a small amount of food and not being able to get through it! I had great news this morning with the approval of my super funds from APRA! yip-pee, I can now pay my mum back!! Good luck to all those you are yet to be banded. Kara |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well it's now day 12 post op and feeling fine. Sleeping better and port pain has subsided. I took the dressigns off today and I must say that he has done a fine job. They have all healed very nicely. It's a bit freaky though when I think that I am held together by glue :) Now my only problem is waking up every morning with a headache. I am wondering it could be caused by lack of protein or not drinking enough fluids. Hope all of you post banders are recovering well and wish all those yet to be done the best of luck Phoebe |

| Hi ther Pilbara sounds likme smooth sailing for you, congratulations. Keep us posted. Was wondering if i may ask a question if its not too rude....i noticed yousaid youwere notput on opti, do you mind if i ask what your BMI was at the start. Hope thats not too personal. I only ask because i slipped up on the weekend and cheated a little and am seriously beating myself up about it but hoping i will be alright. I wonder why some people do and some people dont Shan |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| thanks Beck I have this wonderful picture of myself finally thin for the first time in my whole life looking like an elegant lady and having the personal habits of a truckie.lol |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Congrats Ali! You can burp like a true Bandit! My dog looks at me sometimes and I am sure he is thinking, 'do you have to?'! lol |

| Hi Novemberites 1 week banded today for me I'm not feeling any real hunger struggling to fit in the 6-8 100-200ml liquid meals I'm supposed to have. 1 week of liquids down another 3 to go (help). wind I have plenty if anyone would like some I have never been a person that can burp in that loud "let it rip" kind of way just couldn't do it even if I tried....well the surgery seems to have cured that... yesterday I frightened the cat !!!! Hope everyone getting done this week has a safe journey and hope everyone else is healing well. Ali |

| I dont get wind pain much, but my hunger is a definate discomfort where my band sits! Actually, since my op, I dont get much wind at all! Lucky me! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I also have trouble working out the difference between hunger and wind pains, my tummy rumbles from both! I don't think I have a a gas problem anymore as am 8 days post op so I usually just assume it's hunger. I don't get hungry very often though, it usually is just the rumbles in the morning, and I can still only eat about half a cup of food at a time, am on to thicker things now as my doctor only does 3 weeks for the liquids to mushie stage. All my dressings are off and wounds are sealed, i do get a bit tender around the port but I also get shoulder tip pain if I overdo things. I am a bit nervous about going back to work tomorrow, I think i'll be fine, so fingers crossed. |

| Hi Pilbara 81 Gee you got off easy and it looks like you are going to recover well. Congrats to you. Well i just tried some coke zero and i don't recommend it.I am so full of wind/gas now,my shoulder and back are killing me. I won't try that again. I guess the days of having a can of coke zero are over. I'm having trouble distinguishing between wind and hunger pains. Is anyone else having this trouble? Elaine |

| Hi November-ites. Well I was banded yesterday was first on the list at 8.30am. Spent the day in hospital and was allowed to come home at 7.00pm. Had some icecream and jelly and then later pumpkin soup while in hospital. I was never put on the opti before the op and all went fine. I have four incisions, three are painless but the one with the port under is quite tender. It feels like I have pulled a muscle, have been given soluble panadiene so that helps. Have been gassy at both ends so going to try DeGas and see if that helps. Slept ok up to the toilet alot. Had an Up'n'Go for breakfast and one Petit Miam yoghurt for lunch. No shoulder pain. Will take it easy for next few days. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
