| Well I'm disappointed to post that I've actually put ON weight this week :o( At this stage in my previous diets I would say F it, what's the point, and then proceed to consume copious amounts of food to try and make myself feel better! This time around, I have been expecting this (slow or no loss/small gain) thanks to this forum and the beautiful people on it (yes that's YOU reading right now!!) It's only a small gain (0.4kg) for the week however after 4 weeks of 'loosing' it's still disappointing. But...I keep thinking - 'Gem, this is your first week on mushies/food, you were expecting these similar results'. The good news however is that I've lost 10.1kg since starting my journey and I feel FANTASTIC!! It's amazing how much confidence I have gained (friends, family and collegues have all noticed) just by loosing this amount. I guess the one thing I can't get my head around is that if you laid out all the food I used to eat, and the amount I'm now eating, I'm only eating maybe 1/4 of the original. I'm not giving up though, quite the contrary! I was expecting this, was definitely prepared mentally for it this time, and also know I won't experience major losses again from the pre/post op stage until after 1-2 fills (which I can't wait for - my appetite has returned with a VENGENCE!!!). Keep up the great work and results guys - your results are what's helping me keep my resolve and inspiration up!!

| It is great reading everyones post. It really is nice seeing everyone progressing so well. I WAS feeling good until I got hubbies cold blah! Oh well. On Monday I will be four weeks post op. I can't believe it. I had to double check the calendar. My dietician is very conservative when it comes to returning to eating. Our plan is 2 weeks liquid, 1 week Mushies, 2 weeks soft but include toast and pasta in the second week. So it's been slow but a good way for me as I still have some restriction - we think I am still swollen. Isn't it funny how different everyone is. But with 16 kilos down since 27/4 I am so happy. I have been told to increase my food from 1/2 cup to a least one cup or whatever it takes to make me feel "full". I'm pretty happy all round - especially as I have ankles now!

| I'm only officially weighing in when I see the dietician each month .. which isn't for a couple more weeks yet. The scales seemed to have stalled but think I have lost maybe 1.5kg since my last weigh in on 21 May so think I will use that geusstimate for the time being MARG: (DOB 1/5/09) SW 91.4, CW 85.1, TWL 6.3KG CATH: (DOB 15/5/09) SW 106.5 CW 99, TWL 7.5 kgs KYLIE: (DOB 13/5/09) SW 124.2 CW 113.2 TWL 11KG CARA : (DOB 29/5/09) SW 113.3 CW 102.3 TWL 11 KG RHIAIN: (DOB) 27/5/09 SW: 132 CW: 121.6 TWL 10.6KG.

| ** WEIGH IN *** Hey May Bandits, Just dropped in to say hi and to check on how everyone is doing. You are all amazing and it's such a kick to read all the posts and see whats happening around here. I am 7 days post-op and I feel amazing. No soreness anymore, moving really well and sleeping even better. Found I've been really hungry on liquids the past few days but today I mixed liquids and a few times had slightly thicker liquids (as per instructions lol) and it's really done the job. Just that tiny amount of bulk has helped enormously. Keep kicking girls. You're an inspiratation.

| oh well i wonder what they expect when they come and do mindless stuff like that message. really, it makes me laugh, antagonising for what? coward on the internet--- like what i did as a kid "come ere an say et to me face!!" |

| Cath, I have to say, I am surprised awhat I eat. the other day I tried some crukists and tuna for lunch and I t was fine, I was expecting trouble but no. so today I had some well cooked broccoli with a little onion and some broken up tuna- not pureed, and a squeeze of lemon, about a cup altogether and it was fine. i dont feel hungry so thats good. im concentrating on waiting an hour before drinking as well, then drinking about a litre inbetween each meal time. I am just so happy that i feel like exercising, i wasnt even puffed putting out the washing-woo hoo ps, there's a horrible thread about ingnorance for lapbanding, i think the best thing is to ignore it, and/or report the message. not what we need around here happy weekend everyone! xxk |

| Sorry to shock you Nonny but I really feel I can handle some real food.I'm making pizzas tonight and thought I would try a piece. My dietician wasn't too strict about two weeks fluids, two weeks mushies, he was more interested in doing a transition from liquid to mushy and mushy to solid food. Can't wait for tea! Cath |

| Hi Girls, great walk, that's 4 walks for me this week, under a hat and red faced, and simply cannot wait for summer when i might be brave enough to ditch the hat and have a short sleeve t shirt. im in north sydney, and get to walk down to the harbour and back, takes an hour and a bit hilly, but leaves me puffed which is a good thing i guess. i used to walk before, but it was a struggle, with depression and obesity I found it to be non satisfying because i used to think 'what's the point, i'm only gunna get fat again" now with this added incentive, I am already planning my exercise into my day. the faster this weight goes the better i think. now with groovy music in my head, and beautiful sights to see, its much easier. now, to tidy up, and finish some work, i'll be around here to day if anyway wants a yak whatever xkaren |

| Ange, I live on the edge of the Wombat state forest about an hour west of melbourne. Its a beautiful place to live but with five kids I pretty much spend all my time in the car ferrying them to and fro. I think my reward will come in retirement when I can just enjoy the bush, tend my pretty wild garden and have the kids visit me.I hope thats how it'll be anyway. Nonny, I have found the odd piece of toast goes down OK and cricp breads like ryvita, kavli but haven't been game to have aaaany bread. Cath |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I haven't even tried toast yet Cath. That's a bit wild you know :p | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| well done Cath. That sounds lovely. Where are you located? I could look thru the posts to find out or just ask you!! hehehehe. I so much wish to be out there today. With running a home based business and two young girls (one at school) I just don't seem to find the time. When hubby gets home it's dark and I'm too chicken to walk in the dark... strange hey?? Maybe time to look at a treadmill. Will walk to school but have my friend's daughter here and she's not toooooo keen to walk.... sigh! Enjoy your day.Everyone enjoy your day! Ange |

| How was your walk Karen? It really is beautiful in my neck of the woods today. The kids went on their bikes and Hazel (who also needs lap banding) walked with us. All the dogs of the neighbourhood greeted us at their gates. My 11 year old daughter tells me that I need to exercise as "the band won't do it all for you". Knows everything that one. I'm proud of myself. Cath |

| Hi May buddies, I have had a down week but I am hoping my mood will improve some time today. I usually catch up with a friend for a cuppa or lunch on fridays, think I need it today. Lucyna, I have been out to lunch a few time since banding, once on fluids and had the most delicious red lentil soup, my daughters were laughing because I was enjoying it so much. (after optifast all food tastes fantastic) I also had scrambled eggs for lunch out one day which went down well.If I'm out and hungry I try and get a drinking yoghurt or a tomato juice as they both satisfy me for a while. I have a big bowl of stewed apples and pears in the frig which I eat warm with a dollop of low fat yoghurt for a snack - yummy. My freezer still has lots of one cup portions of my sisters home made soups so they will keep me going for a while. Sun is shining this morning so I'm going to take the kids and Hazel for a W A L K ....look out.! Cath |

| Marg, I'm so sorry about you losing a friend. I can understand you feeling like your own issues go on the back burner when someone close to you dies. Thinking of you, Cath xo |

| Hi guys, 900gm loss for me this week! Thought i would go below 85, but seems to me that i will just have to wait another week to hit my first milestone! Ah wells :-) I haven't hit the gym this week at all. Had a friend die a few days ago and ive just been a mopey negative, lump since. So, maybe the weekend will give me time to just breathe and do some exercise! Hope you all have a wonderful day! Love, Marg xox |
