| ***WEIGH IN*** Marg: DOB 1/5/09 SW 91.4 CW 79.7 TWL 11.7kg That's a 300gm gain this week - starvation mode big time. No bad breath or classic ketosis signs this week at all, despite eating and drinking practically nothing. Hopefully this itty bitty unfill helps!! :-) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hey guys, Cath, how did your fill go??? I had a teeny weeny unfill yesterday - got fed up with the not eating or drinking and not losing because of it. Hope everyone is cruising along a little better this week. Going up north for another bridesmaid fitting this weekend (*shudders*) - should be interesting to see how my shape has changed again. Love, Marg :-) |

| tried to eat seaweed today (luv the stuff) and unfortunately vomitted every single strand - sniff for dinner made pad thai with kangaroo cubed fillets - the noodles went down but the kangaroo was served to Lulu - again it came up |

| Hi Mabees, well done Gem on meeting your birthday goal.Lucyna, please keep us informed about how they deal with your flipped port. Hope it goes OK. Marg, sounds like you have some sort of inflammation.Have you been to the doc yet? Take it easy up there. Yes fill time for me tomorrow.At last!Fingers crossed. Cath |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| no pain at all feel quite full as per normal after a small portion |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gem, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Hope you had a FANTASTIC day!!! Congrats on achieving your first goal! Well done! Love, Marg xox |

| Hi Lucyna Oh no, I've heard of this happening but I'm curious too...were you in any pain? What does it feel like? How do they 'flip' it back? Is there anything that the doc said might have caused it? Sorry for all the questions, it's been a worry of mine too as I can feel the port very clearly now. Asked Doc about it and he said it will become easier to feel (and may even appear visible sometimes as a bump) with the more weight I loose. Marg - I'm starting to get a bit worried about you hon! I hope you're getting the nutrients that your body needs and you're ok?? Cath - 2 days to go and you'll be on your way again! I think it's amazing you've managed to not gain weight for nearly 2 months with no fill/restriction! I'm expecting a blow by blow account of your fill on Thursday - good luck!! For my news? I reached my first 'personal' goal today. I wished to be 85kg for my birthday (today). Didn't think I'd get there but miraculously the scales said 85.8kg this morning. Technically I'm not exactly 85 but hey, I didn't set my goal to be an accurate 85.0 LOL!!! |

| Hi Lucyna, Sorry to hear about your port flipping. That is one of my biggest fears. Did you know it had flipped, was there any pain? I've only just started to feel my port and I don't know if it's because I've lost weight or because it's flipped. xKelliex |

| Hi Guys, Lucyna - sorry to hear about your experience. I must admit that's one of my fears! It must be so frustrating. Hopefully it can be easily fixed sweet. Remember, 400gms is still a loss - it's slow, but at least it's still coming off. I have been really struggling the last 2 days. I have really bad pain in my little pouch whenever i try to eat or drink - especially earlier in the day. I'm not sure if my stomach is a little inflamed, or what is going on - i did have a thought that my restriction is tightening, but it seems silly as it has been a few wks since my last fill. I'm flat out getting any food in because of it, and also finding liquids very uncomfortable (i havent tried hot drinks though - so maybe that will make a difference?). Hmm... the trials of the band... Marg :-) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi pals havent been posting due to sheer frustration in two weeks have lost 400 gm went to my surgeon 2 weeks ago for first fill - and we discovered that the portal has flipped so went again today to try again - again no luck so now I have to go for xray - so he can see what has happened with food - I am getting full quickly and cannot fully enjoy food as I used to siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh Lucyna |

| Hi May Buddies, love to read your great posts! Gem love reading about your loose rings, receptionist not pulling in her chair and sharing the couch with your ridgeback. Getting compliments in the gym, getting restriction with a 1ml fill and all the other great stories. My funny but thoughtful moment today was reading about the newborn elephant who weighs about the same as me around 100kgs and looks pretty cute I reckon. (pity my mum is half my size!). I'm heading off to the doctors for my FIRST FILL on thursday and boy do I need it badly. My meals have been getting slowly bigger by the day. Cath |

| I'm so happy I've decided to buy a cross trainer this week. Hopefully this should help with the weight loss. I joined the gym about 5 weeks ago and haven't been once, what a waste of money!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hi Guys, Sorry, I too have been offline lately. Busy Busy - these brides are keeping me on my toes. So, looks like everyone is travelling well... even despite waiting for fills etc... hang in there. I had my first fill on Thursday - well, if you call it a fill. I have a 15ml band (apparently my surgeon puts the large bands in everyone now) I have been travelling well, only just started geting hungry a week or so ago and with quite a good weight loss he wanted to go slow with the fills. I agreed! So, they decided on 2ml. After 10 mins it became apparent that that was too much (water was making me burp and feel quite uncomfortable so out come 1ml. I am really feeling the restriction today - after liquids tomorrow but overall good fill. But can you believe it - only 1ml in a 15ml band and it seems right for now. Seems odd to me. He said it is uncommon but for some people a tiny fill or just the band alone is enough. We will see. Anyway, better get back to some work! Ciao for now. Keep up the great work guys.

I saw a friend who I hadn't see for ages, she was behind me in the class but didn't recognise me .. she said my butt had shrunk and I was looking amazing. I'm still glowing lol. Take Care Jan |

| Hi guys! Haven't posted in a while sorry but have been watching with interest everyone's stories. Fantastic losses guys, and congrat's Marg on reaching the 70's!! Having a pretty interesting journey figuring out what blocks and what doesn't. Who would have thought that trail mix (nuts and dried fruits) blocks so damn easily!!! Haven't lost too much over the past 3 weeks however it's coming off very slowly. I must admit I had high expectations of drastic and constant losses before/after banding however have now come to terms that the band is a 'tool' to help me loose weight and not the be-all-end-all. Still have to exercise (which I'm not) and eat sensibly (also which I'm not doing too good at). A few NSV's to share though: 1. My rings are falling off!! having to move them to larger fingers now, soon I'll be wearing them all on my middle finger! 2. Our receptionist at work no longer pushes her chair in (so I can fit past) when she sees me coming. She hasn't commented on my weight loss but hey, her actions is comment enough!! 3. Can actually feel my jaw bone when I wash my face! 4. My dog (a 55kg ridgeback!) and I lie comfortably on the couch now without oozing over the sides! He's pretty happy let me tell you!! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend - keep up the posts, I miss you when you go into hiding! |

| Hi All. Well my doctor has told me if im not hungry in the morning then not to eat breakfast.. so I dont.. Then around lunch time.. I can eat a Subway Wrap with ham and salad..but am full after.. Should I be able to eat this much?? Most of it is salad anyway.. I am in a rutt!!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Cath!!! So glad you're still popping in! When's the fill??? If your doc has long waiting periods - you should ask for a big fill!! That will definitely reinspire you and the weightloss sweet! Bet you can't wait now! Had a thought whilst out grocery shopping just before... im officially 1/3 of the way to goal! Only 24 odd kilos to go! I'm so excited! Lots of love, Marg xox |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| thanks Cath. Since having my first fill on Monday I can't eat more than 1/2 to 3/4 cup at a time. Well probably could but I am stuffed at that amount so stop. I have to also say there is nothing that I haven't seemed to be able to eat since then either, which I am surprised about. |

| Hi May Bandits, sorry for deserting you all a bit lately but I have been a bit depressed. Well done Marg on your weightloss, and Kerrie, wow, you're going great guns. School holidays here and wet and cold. I have taken the kids to visit Nana, taken them to the movies, the older kids caught the train to town.Now we're starting to go a bit stir crazy, my little kids have been redecorating their room and my older ones helping me around the house when I can convince them. Extras for dinner and lots of cooking and cleaning up. Winter school holidays at home are a bit of a trial. Anyway, counting down the days to my first fill and hoping it will reinspire me. Cath |
