| Hi Girls, Just checking in. Not really happy at the moment as my 1ml fill has done nothing! I really cant feel much change at all and my weight loss is back to where it was last week. It is so frustrating. I'm really struggling with food and am just hoping I dont put on as I have 7 weeks to wait for a fill. Saw my diatician on Thursday and she recommended a fill earlier, but I cant get in. Whinge Whinge whinge!!!!!!! Come on Trace...... Get deep deep breath Suck it up Trace - just get with the program and stick with it!! Right then - better now? Yes...... Thanks eveyone!! love Trace x TRACE: (DOB 01/5/09) SW 122.8kg CW 111.5 TWL 11.2KG MARG: (DOB 1/5/09) SW 91.4 CW 83.9 TWL 7.5 KERRIE: (DOB 22/05/09) SW 164.9 CW 147.8 TWL 17.1kg KAREN (DOB 21/5/09) CW 110.4 SW 132 TWL 21.6 JAN (DOB 12/05/09) SW 110.9, CW 100 TWL 10.9 KYLIE (DOB 13/5/09) SW 124.2 CW 112.0 TWL 12.2 KASEY: (DOB 25/05/09) SW 116.0 CW 106.6 TWL 9.4 GEM: (DOB 15/05/09) SW 99.9 CW 87.8 TWL 12.1 |

| Hope everyone's having a fabulous weekend! Marg, how are you going with your new fill? I'm struggling with 5ml in (constantly getting blockages with every meal, even an omlette for brekkie this morning!!). I keep thinking "this isn't what I signed up for" but yep, reality has kicked in - "yes Gem...it is!!!" A learning curve that's for sure. I suspect I'm eating too fast as I'm always having hiccups during/after eating and not chewing enough, hence the blockages. After 3-4 weeks of no weight loss (even a pretty substantial gain which I was ashamed to add to everyone's weigh-in results last week!) I have finally seen a decline in the scales which is encouraging. Over the past few weeks I've been feeling pretty 'low' but one tip that I'd like to share if anyone is feeling like this (especially if it's due to non-results re banding) is to read the NSV Thread, past and present pages. It's always inspiring and often has me in tears with happiness with the lovely people who have shared their experiences.

| Hi Girls, I can't sleep! Not sure why. It's not like me - usually i sleep like the dead every opportunity i get! Thought i would take the time to come online and check in. Had a top up this afternoon. I'm not at 8.1mL in a 10mL band! I'm crazy tight - it's great. Hopefully this is it for a while. Couldn't really eat after the fill, so im just going to take it easy over the weekend and try and stick to mushy food so i dont have too many problems, before i start the sussing out of what is good and what is bad all over again. The nurse was quite adventurous - i only thought i needed a smidge in, but she put another half ml in. Don't think i can go much more before there's no hole there? lol. I had a pig out at sizzlers day before yesterday and i did not like it! Think im a control freak?! Hope everyone has a great weekend. Congrats on the weightlosses and the maintaining Cath without fill! Well done! Love, Marg xox |

| Wow Wednesday really was the day to be banded. I had my 2nd fill in Wednesday. Another 1.5ml in the band and it's quite tight. (4.5ml total) I am feeling quite restricted and back to fluids and mushies still. When I try other stuff I am PB'ing which is DAMN uncomfortable. I'm pretty happy though cause I haven't felt restricted at all for weeks. I'm so glad to see you are all well. Nonny |

| Hi Random, nice to hear from you. Well I recovered from banding pretty well but have had other issues bugging me since then. Hanging out for my first fill as I can eat what I like. So far I haven't gained but that could change. Feel pretty good about being banded though, about 8kgs lighter. Cath |

| yeah me.. had my first fill today.. 1.5ml and that was because I convinced him I needed it. Said I was doing really well and wasnt sure if I was ready for a fill yet.. now back to yogurt and juice for a couple of days.. Dr also told me not to eat breakfast.. Band is apparently tight in the morning..so not to worry. Fill was a breeze..didnt even hurt.. have a great weekend everyone.. Kasey |

Going back for a little teeny weeny top up today. Should make for an interesting weekend! Exams finish this arvo, so will pop online during the weekend to catch up on everything.

| FRIDAY WEIGH IN KAREN (DOB 21/5/09) CW 110.4 SW 132 TWL 21.6 JAN (DOB 12/05/09) SW 110.9, CW 100 TWL 10.9 Saw the dietician yesterday and she agreed that I basically have no restriction at the moment. Lost 3.5kg since I saw here a month ago so I am still ecstatic. Getting my second fill on Monday and she will recommend to the surgeon that he puts at least another 2 or 3ml in. Looking forward to gaining some restriction and not having to work quite so hard not to overeat. Jan |

| Hi Cath, I hope you are feeling okay. sorry about the lack of fill for you. fingers crossed for you for the next couple of weeks. i dont want to start weigh in cos i havent lost since last week i think. but now with this fill i'm hoping a change will turn. plus i'm off to the snow for 3 months, so altitude plus some pretty hard work should help change a few rolls and flabby bits i hope. happy weekend everyone xx karen |

| Hi Cath. I know 3 weeks sounds so far away but look how quickly time has gone since our op - 5 weeks!! When u see your doc give him a right serve full for making u wait so long i say!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks Marg ;) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Cath, Sucks about the assignment and the fill. You are having a rough time of it at the moment. Chin up though - july is just around the corner. I say, if it's bothering you that much - just enjoy the food while you can, guilt free. Pretty soon you won't be able to eat everything you want to! I PROMISE!! You could always try opti one meal a day if you feel you really need to do something? But honestly, it's just a matter of a few wks now til the fill - dont stress hunny. Much love, Marg xox |

| Hello May09 Bandits, I'm still reading but haven't fet as much like posting lately. I'm a bit down about having to wait so long for a fill. Probably eating too much at the moment. Gem, I love your comment about reading the body language of he people in the waiting room. Thats exactly what I do. It's so interesting seeing others who have gone through or are about to go through what we have done. How good does Therese Rein look? I read somewhere that she has had a band put in too. Its so damn cold here at the moment, dropped my kids off at a white frozen bus stop this morning- 2 degrees. I need some inspiration to eat well and exercise. Cath |

| Karen, i never felt my fills kick in until a day or two after. You should feel at least a little change from 3mls. Be patient. Have the broccoli - its good for you and wont hurt your weightloss at all! You are making healthy, sensible choices! Good on ya girl! Marg xox |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Karen, its understandable that you are hungry. The Soup the beans and the yogurt pop all would have gone straight through your band. It can take up to 3 fills to get in the "green" zone. Ax |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| bugger, im still hungry...how long does it take for fill to kick in?? miht have to eat something else already tonight i ve had a bowl of vegie soup, baby can of beans and a yoghurt pop. i feel like i need a bowl of broccoli crossin my fingers for tomorrow |
