| Oh how i love winter, cool days, cooler nights and a band which refuses food! :) I forgot about this wonderful weight loss during winter. Hungry i awoke this fine fresh morn, trying to go healthy i opted for some lovely plain yogurt with LSA mix. NOPE!!!! Band was not having any of it. A warm cuppa instead. Note of reminder to self: Tea first, brekkie second. Also, i have taken to not eating or drinking anything but water after 6pm in hopes it would help with heartburn and reflux. It has worked a treat. So 6pm on the dot is the last mouthful of food or anything but H2O. Not a problem since then. Nic |

| Yup, i have to say Jen that i am the happiest i've been with my body EVER. My boobies have gotten smaller but they're saluting the sun and i still pass the pencil test (if you can hold a pencil under your bazoom you have enough) :). The fact is that i'm a tigger not an eyore (?sp), i've CHOSEN happiness but the body issue has always been the fly in my otherwise happy ointment. I remember actually crying in a supermarket with brad telling him how tired i was of my weight being the one dark cloud in my life ALWAYS. Not anymore!!!!!! :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Nic ... Decades, oh how true. Years and multiple diets, behind us. Now there is some sanity hey, well a little...tee hee. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I agree Jen. I look back a year ago and cringe. I was just beginning to believe that this actually might work! :) You know how it is with decades of trying and failing under your belt. Nic |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Nic...yeah, it's good to measure in big steps hey. If we think a year ago where we were, and where we are now, it's a whole lot better. I am battling hormones a bit and fluid retention, but I'm not making excuses LOL. Have a great day Nic. |

| Yup, self sabotage is a fun game isn't it Jen? :) NOT! But you know, we've come a long way; at least we recognise it now, slap ourselves in the face and get a grip again! :) We'll get there Jen. We'll look back on these posts this time next year and smile. :) Nic |

| Nic you're not alone honey. I got to 81.5 and if I breathed out 81...then I go and wreck it. It's like OK, I've proved to myself I can get there, but let's just sabotage for a bit. Like I enjoy the game. NOT. I'm a healthy 83.5 now...sigh...but not for long I hope. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Must sound like madness to those good mothers out there or girls and boys who had great mothers. I don't mean to shock or sadden you, but the facts of life are that there are people there who have children just for the pure sadistic joy of inflicting as much pain on another person as possible....a victim who cannot fight back, so they can feel complete power through someone else being powerless. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I tell you, the weird psychological games still go on don't they. Old habits die hard. Being bought up to be told (literally by the way) that i was not worthy of the air that i breathed, the old self esteem issues still occassionally rear their ugly heads. Normally, i strut around with a very healthy self esteem (NOT others esteem) but the old inner tape of the past pops up again once in a while. Every time i have reached a mile stone, the day after is just one solid day of sugar and binging. That tiny little voice hears the victory roar and says very quietly......"no, you are not worthy of success/happiness...let's get that scale back up." The day after that i'm fine again and back to normal but for that one day ( after each milestone) like hitting the 70's i consume the most i can get away with, with the highest calorific content that i can find. Makes me want to go and check my mothers grave to make sure she's still DOWN there. Nic |

| I like that Brian. I will remember that one. :) I expect this fill to last me another year but i'll store it in my memory banks. :) Nic |

| Ha Ha Brian...loved that. .5ml's of vanity, excellent. Nic I saw Brian yesterday and he looks fantastic. Gawd we had so many of the crew at our regular coffee stop. Nic thanks for the compliment, if only. I have just had some time off (just a week) and I ate and didn't exercise, a deadly combination, so back to work I am and routine, and exercise...just love it. well...a bit...take care. Jen |

| Hi Nic, Yes I am at maintenance. It still requires effort and I have put on weight ...4kg's but I have lost 2 of those. I went back to see my surgeon a few weeks ago and he was happy with where I am. My weight is healthy and according to him, losing more weight will not make me any healthier. He said any further loss is more to do with ego and vanity rather than health....I asked him for .5mls of vanity LOL. I have to say, I am just loving my life right now. Brian |

| Thanks for the congrats and encouragement Vikki. Funny thing is i only start to get really happy about it after about a week or so. I think it takes that long to sink in. It's all so surreal! I know you will be Molly! You'll do it and i expect to hear about it too Girl!!! :) Thanks to you too Brian. :) So are you at maintenance stage now? How goes it with that? Is it a difficult thing or do you just keep doing what you've done? Nic Brian |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks for the advice Doreen, I will give this a try, I like how delicately you put the need to stand near a sink! I will also cook up some homemade soup today...and see how I go. cheers Karlee |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| karlee 241,could you have a blockage the pain and new problems sound like a slight blockage try getting a soda water/dietcoke etc and see if drinking it down fairly fast near a sink ,it may help dislodge whatever it is then take it easy on liquids then mushies for a day or two till swelling subsides if still a problem after w/end call your dr and discuss it or if you are haveing trouble drinking ,as we quickly dehydrate ,all the best,Doreen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi do you mind if i ask a question. I was banded end of Nov last year and it has taken some time to feel the restriction and to kick off the weight loss. I have now lost 10kg. I have 4 3/4 ml in a ten ml band, and all was going fine until yesterday, soon as i eat anything I get shoulder tip pain, and then start burping over and over (where does it come from) and then have been bringing up most of what i have eaten. I did manage to keep down some mash last night and coffee this morning. I am able to keep down fluids. Is this usual, will it settle after a few days if i go back onto mushies? As i have just started to really loose some weight I don't want to stop... It seems to have taken so long to start to figure things out and then within a day it all changes. Hey I also have two sons, one 23 and the other 8.... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I know!!! :) I'd better anyway. This last 10 kg is PAINFULLY slow in shifting,it could take me months and months. I reckon i'll be lucky to get to goal by christmas at this rate but this fill may well be the one to kick it back into gear. :) I just said to Doreen, i'll give it a few more weeks, try eating early in the night at about 5pm and eat nothing more and just drink water and see if that improves things. Fanks Jen :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have 4 and 3/4 ml now Doreen. I will give it some time to hopefully settle but if nothing changes in the next few weeks, back i go. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OOOHhh Poor Nicki...poor pet. Just think of the weight you will lose. I hope it settles, or back to the doc you will go. Take care cherub. Jenxx |
