Hi all
I'm not doing JL today but Brian has gone in!
Soldiering on...that's why he's 81.4kg
Yes how disappointing! Not one number in either the System 10 or System 7...darn and I was dreaming of those male nurses attending our wounds in Tahiti!
Jean -8.6kg....you are a champion!!
Getting close now. All the best and here's to a speedy recovery. Take it easy and stay ahead of your pain meds for the first few days. Mersyndol was my preferred painkiller.
Welcome to the board imsospacedouttoday ( great ID! )
It will be great to hear from you and Amy re this new technique using the balloon. It’s fascinating!
Good to hear from you Carol.
Oh Kristy you poor thing! So how’s your jaw now?
That will slow the eating down somewhat! Actually you might find it rather difficult as you won’t want to chew things as much which won’t be good at all....Oh and by the way I didn’t laugh THAT loud! LOL
No Shelly I didn't rollerblade. There were a million kids on the rink. I've never seen it so crowded...so I would have killed some small child if I fell. We did say we might go back once the kids are back at school and give it a go. LOL...*note to self - Don't forget camera*
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
vikki
PS Kathy are you coming to get this lounge? We have a throw-out soon and I fear hubby will drag it out to the verge soon! |

| Hi all, Ive been on the waiting list for my lap band for about a month and now like Amy i've been invited to be a study case for the new surgery involving a balloon rather that a band. Im still thinking about it as there is not yet any information on it. Its a big risk but it could be brilliant. Glad to know there are people out there to talk things through with. |

Hi Jen, I am now organized enough in the house to actually cook proper meals again. SOOOO am cooking your wonderful chick pea strudel tomorrow but will use puff pastry so i can freeze. I also do a similar one using a tin of nutmeat in place of the chick peas. Will do a batch of each tomorrow and also making a vegie slice and of course more of Brian's sweet potato gnocchi and Marions marvellous avocado dip. That should keep me busy a while.
Yay, I only have 2 more boxes to sort and find places for.We have just the lawns to mow tomorrow at old house and sons gym equipment to move,, then thats it ,, all done..ty all for your assistance and kind thoughts once again. ,,,miss you all,Carol
PS Mum has heart surgery set for as soon as she is strong enough and Frank is now waiting for his Dr to return from vacation so he is biting at the bit with boredom, take care all, Carol |

Hi everyone! welllllllll... what a day I have had!
7am rushed to Royal Perth, nothing to do with the band.. it was my jaw. I had dislocated it. How you ask... I yawned.. (Nothing rude Vikki!, I can hear you laughing from here!)
Anyway, after mild sedation, they yanked my jaw back into place.. yes YANKED.. it was bloody painful. Its all good now, just very tender. Apart from the pain, all the Drs gathered to look at the Friday morning freak-show cracking jokes and inevitably trying to make me laugh. I will say, the best time to fall ill is a Friday morning, RPH emergency room is empty.
I have had x-rays done too, seems I might be required to eventually have an operation to correct the damage. :( more pain!
Hugs
Kristy |

| Hi there. I just wanted to thank everyone for their messages in the forum. It has made it easy for me to choose Dr Dolan as my surgeon. Hopefully he will choose me! Just made an appointment to see him today and I have to wait a month! I just want to get the ball rolling. I am so over being fat! :( 17 years out of 27 I have been miserable and unable to lose weight. I was just wondering, the person who said it didn't cost anything with medicare, are there any extra costs that I should be aware of so I can start saving now. I am a single parent so I hope it isn't too costly. Any feedback on how the experience has been for other people would be greatly appreciated thanks. Christine x |

Morning all!
Wahoo so close to cracking the 100kg Kristy. Getting into double digits has to be the best feeling ever...so close...you won't be long.
Marion I know they sound terrible but Cabbage Rolls are really really yummy. I dreamt about them last night Jen!
Looking forward to the recipe.
Don't forget we are skating with the kids today...well not us...just the kids!...Then again Sharon and Karen indicated an interest in joining the young ones in the rink! This will be interesting entertainment... LOL
My daughter certainly hasn't forgotten about todays activities. First words out of her mouth this morning!
I'm bringing a friend and her 2 girls...she is one of my elite 5 that know. I haven't seen her since February so I'm sure she'll notice a difference in me!
See you at the rink.

It takes a long time to leave food on your plate if you're full. I'm not 100% there yet, but getting better. Yeah Yeah I know...put less on the plate...it takes a bit of getting used to.
Maybe we should call the restuarant "mini meals" or "bite sized". Actually isn't that what gourmet restuarants do now...give little, charge heaps....
In the last few months I have been able to throw leftovers out. This is just from the fridge. I used to think, oh yeah, i'll eat that sometime. but now that I can't eat much, one is fussier about what is put in the mouth.

I also did a vegetarian version. YUMMO. |

Jensized,
wouldn't it be nice to be able to say I would just like a spoon full of that and not have people think it is strange. I hate the thought of all the food that gets wasted when I go out and its not even the cost to me its the waste. but I'm sure I'll get my head around it.
Learning to leave something behind not stuff myself to clear my plate has definately been challenging Old habits die hard.
Cheers Donna |
