Hi May09 Bandits,
Hope you guys are going OK. Sounds like you have found restriction Marg. I am a shocker for eat first think later so I'm scared to have such a tight band. Definitely need a fill though.Went to a Bollywood night last night and ate too much indian food.
How did your exams go Marg?

Ange,
Had more problems with food last night. Called a fellow tsv bandit, and she thinks my fill has really just kicked in the last few days. I want tight restriction because i want to be unable to cheat - i want to lose weight and lose it consistently until i reach my goal - if it's tight, then i can't really self-sabotage. Anyway, i think i really have to go back to basics and take half an hour to eat every time i feel hungry, measure out only 1 cupful of food and CHEW! And i have a sneaking suspicion that chicken breast may be a problem food for me. I haven't been eating moist foods, so im going to have to think a little more carefully about my choices. The pain really is annoying and if i can prevent it from continuing then i will!
So, lots of lessons for me at the moment. Oh, been feeling rather tired so i picked up some iron melts (im supposed to be on supplements anyway), and they taste yummy! They dissolve in your mouth. Just thought id pass that little nugget on!
Lots of love,
Marg xox |

| I think I need to change my name - I'm no longer "to be banded". Maybe I should change it to Angethebandit! |

Hey Guys,
Meg, Sorry about your accident. THat's terrible.. but you are so so lucky.
Marg, so your first really PB. Why do you have your band so tight that most foods are hurting? I too have a tight band in the morning and I think when it's cold.. not sure but everytime i go out in the cold it starts to tighten a little. Weird! Maybe it's just the stress from all these brides! The optifast bars are pretty hard to eat (I rememeber those days well) at the best of times! Blah.
Hope your exam went well.

Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is well! Meg - sorry to hear about your accident - im so glad you are ok! Best wishes!
Had my first kinda pb last night. It was weird. My band is like super tight, it hurts to eat most things unless i eat teeeeeeeny tiny mouthfuls and then take a lot of time in between mouthfuls - and i just don't have that kind of time most of the time anyway! Anywho, i had hardly anything much to eat, but i had an opti bar for dinner and that's really dry and fills you up. I gulped the biggest gulp of water about an hour later coz i was parched and something got stuck?!? Anyway, about 10mins of staring down a sink followed and i just kept spitting - i bent over a few times and this made the water come back up. I can only assume the opti bar takes a long time to go through the band? This morning im quite tight also - weird. Anyway, all fun and games and another band experience...
Have a great weekend.
Love,
Marg xox |

Hi sublime9972.
Sorry I didnt reply to your message until now - I had a horrible horse riding accident and broke my neck! been in hospital for a week. Everything okay (except the brace I have to wear - I was very lucky).
As for your question Dr Dolan didnt put any fill in. And I had my first fill 4 weeks after surgery - he hit me with a 5ml fill! But I can still eat anything - just very small quantity.
He does have a funny sense on humour thats for sure.
If you want to read my blog its: http://futureskinnymeg.synthasite.com/
Cheers,
Megan |

| Karen I am just starting on cruskits and fish fillets today. I know what you mean about the head hunger. I was lucky enough to have just finished a course in mindfulness just before having my band done. It teaches you to listen to your body and be aware of things more, its helped heaps :) |

well, I think i've had another realisation.
i'm getting used to this head hunger thing. Now when I eat, even thought I dont have fill till next week, I knwo I can eat about a cup and a half of food. and I try toremember to chew most of the time. am feeling full and the feeling lasts for about two to three hours. which is a good thing. then I drink 1 litre of water between each meal time with peppermint tea at night time.
so thats a great thing. I am looking forward to the fill next week.! woo hoo!
if you like peppermint tea, Toby's estate in Sydney sells the most delicious organic tea, its loose and makes for really good tea.....and! if you mix it with jarrah hot chocolate mix, you get the nest peppermint hot chocolate! yum
happy weekend! karen |

Hi Girls,
Only 600g weightloss for me this week, but im sweet with that coz i had 4 days of being able to eat like a horse before my next fill, so that's come off in the last couple of days only! Feel nicely restricted now, so bring on 79.9 i say!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cath, that sucks about the shoulder pain! You poor thing. I can relate to the port area sensitivity - i dont like any of my scars being touched, and i find they are still a little tender, so must still be healing. I think eventually we will forget about them. Can't wait for them to fade - i am almost religious with my bio-oil - every morning and every night! lol.
Have a wonderful Friday everyone - i have a big exam this arvo, so keep your fingers and toes crossed for me. Boy oh boy are the stress levels high!

Well I would have to say bad distracting because I don't like my port area being touched. Its not tender, just feels funny.
I am also struggling with shoulder tip pain on and off. I try to ignore it but its like a nagging pain and sometimes I have to take pain relief for it.
Sorry to whinge.
