Funny Ali..I have had the same thoughts about winning lotto. I tried to get my husband to agree that my main scar looks inflamed and may be infected and that I should take a few more days off..but he wouldn't be in it...piker :)
It's going to be interesting to see peoples reactions tomorrow. I work in a team of eight and we are all a very tight knit team so they know and have been sending me constant emails and text messages, but the rest of the office doesn't know and won't if I can help it :)

Hi All
Must be getting to that time, I'm also back to work tommorrow night. I don't want to plan what to take yet it just makes it too real. I've decided I need to win Lotto and become a lady of leisure. I have been a bit bored tho have spring cleaned house, got rid of all "big" winter clothes cos surely I won't need them next winter lol.
Hope everyone being banded this week has a safe journey and just think by Friday all the Novemberites will be banded!!

Hi Phoebe,
I'm back to work tomorrow too, I was done on the 6th Nov. Yeah, and I have just made my lunch for tomorrow too! Some pureed mango for morning tea, tuna and mashed potato mashed for lunch (doesn't look the best!), and I'll take a yoghurt too. Have fun tomorrow!

Well tomorrow is first day back at work since being banded on 7.11.08. I have planned the food I am taking..an up and go for brekkie, some mush stuff I made for lunch and a small tub of yoghurt.
I am thinking that I may only work four days this week as I am still pretty tired and from next week on I am acting boss for three weeks so there will be no days off and very long hours.

KAra..congrats on APRA approval. I am still waiting for mine. When did you send your initial request into them. I sent mine in arouind the 16th October and was told it would take 16 days. I knew from reading this site that it would take them longer that that.

Op on Thursday Nov 13. All going well after several days of shoulder pain. Have lost 12kg.
Liquid diet OK.
I have cheated a bit. Borrowed a juicer. It was hopeless, messy and required so much fruit for so little juice.
I now use blender, fruit mixes well with yoguit or custard. Also with patience can be blended on it's own.
No pain at wound sites. Noticeable swelling at main would site.
Have gone from 116kg to 104 kg. I seen to have plateaued at this weight for the last few days. |

Hi P1xie,
Good luck with your op next week.
In re: to apra. I finally got my letter of approval on Friday, then I rang my super fund, and was then advised, that they would have to send me a claim form. So now, I am waiting for that to arrive by post, before I can even send it back to them! So much time in waiting. My advice to you or anyone waiting for apra to respond - is get the claim form from your super fund now, so it will be in your hands, when you receive approval leter from apra! Hopefully, I will receive my money before christmas!!

Welcome Bernadette
Hope you are recovering well.There is a book available LAPBAND SOLUTIONS from the Drs' office and then post op. I was given a very clear post op instruction sheet by the nurse before I was discharged.You can also ring Dr T s office and ask to speak to the dietician.As you can guess I was banded by Dr T on the 12/11.However I have found these forums very helpful with many people willing to share their experiences and knowledge.Just ask your questions ? This site is also very good for helpful advice http://auslapband.forumup.com.au/index.php? *** =auslapband
Good Luck if you are doing as well as I am post op you should be on your second week of a soft puree diet.Hope this helps.

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 |
