| Hey everyone!!! I went and checked out the two gyms in my local "town" today and wow what an experience that was. The first one is run by a husband and wife and um, well I just sort of freaked out at having to deal with a man, especially one that seemed to me to be six foot eight and looked like he walked off a les mills poster. I was speechless..lol Second gym was more girlie, female trainers and I felt more comfy there. So i'm ready to start on friday. Oh my, me in a gym...shock horror!!! Gawd i'm nervous but they said they can give me exercise to do that's going to be safe with my post op pain etc. I got to exactly 23kg lost this morning, which is pretty cool. Jo, i'm going to kings park this sunday but I am planning to visit relatives after otherwise you could catch a lift with me. Can you come along this sunday, it's a great bunch and it's really great to compare notes with everyone else and it's really great motivation seeing others who are at goal weight. Jen |

| I knowt all about early morning starts...we have to leave here at 4am to get there by 5am (we used to live 10mins from the airport which was great) Hubby used to drive down and park but the parking is soo expensive now, better for me to drive down..just takes alot out of you that day..hahaha Jo |

| By the way, we are also still with mining, but not doing the FIFO any more. His shift used to be 9 on 5 off, so for me, it was only 1 weekend with him not around. I didn't mind it. K |

| Hey all - just adding my 2 cents worth re the FIFO thing. When my hubby did it, I used to have to wake the 3 boys (didn't have my girl until later) at 4.30 and get them in the car to take Hubby to the airport for 5.30am. By the time we got back home it was 6.30 and too late to go back to bed before shool and all - but at least they were usually knackered and early to bed every second Monday evening!! We then worked out a system with a company at the airport where he would park in their car park with their permission and I would bus in after dropping the boys at school (usually only 1 in tow) and catch the bus into the airport to get the car. It was an adventure for the little one not at school yet, 2 big bus rides to get the car. LOL K |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LOL I know what you mean.. car pooling sounds like a great idea....can't wait to meet them both... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh I think furball kids are possibly the better choice Jo...they eat less and don't cost you as much in the long run! LOL Do meet up with JenS. She is a such a character and it will be good for you seeing you haven't family support up there. Another of our bandit ladies is heading up to Northam soon. She too will be a great contact and support for you to have on your doorstep. Maybe the 3 of you can car pool it on a Sunday once a month to SB! vikki |

| I was suppose to catch up with Jen who lives up my way but wasnt able to coz of my back and the having to drive to pick hubby up but will hopefully do so soon :-) We don't have kids together (unless you call our furbabies kids) :-) so we've never had to worry about children adjusting etc. when he goes away its just me and the furbabies which can be hard at times. It was ok when I lived in Perth closer to family but not lving up here. But I will get there :-) |

| Mine has been in mining for about 17yrs now...so he's done the hard yards. He certainly has it pretty good these days. Actually he has a great job these days...working 4 days then home for a long weekend each week! Our kids have never known anything else so they are use to him being away. He has at times felt very guilty though being out of their lives...and leaving me on my own. In fact it was hell for me when they were babies as I had no family support. But I managed the weeks on my own between his vists and the kids are reasonably sane kids! LOL Well I'm pleased to hear it was your choice ( re-unfill) Marion and not a new medical reason. Anything to make BOOT CAMP that much better! LOL vikki |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Snap mine is a miner too Sharon |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jo, We have a few up your way now ( Bakers Hill/ Northam ) I do hope you meet up with the others and come down to Sticky Beaks, Kings Park to meet the rest of the mob at some stage on a Sunday. vikki |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do you enjoy the time he's away or does the family miss him? I enjoy my quiet time but after about a week it drags hahaa Jo |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes Vikki, I decided to have my fill taken out. I want to be able to eat the healthy food at the retreat and not suffer from the reflux. LOL My hubby isn't a miner.........he's an accountant! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Joke of the Day Two convicts were sitting on their cot in a jail cell. One says to the other, "I hear you're getting out in a few days. Tell me something are you going straight, or are you going back into politics?" |

| Morning all, Good luck with your unfill Shona and you top up Kathy. Gee Kathy I didnt think you'd have to wait that long for the other op. Your son's surgery is this month isn't it? Jo...good move! It certainly pays off to keep the bread intake limited. BTW are you in Geraldton ( or was it further up? ) I'm guessing your husband is in the mines or off shore ( from your last post ) My husband works away too. Flies in and out of Perth. Marion are you by choice having all your fill out for your trip or have you been back to Dr's and I've missed your latest news? Have a great day! vikki |

| Hi Kathy, happy news about getting your fill. I find the best excercise for me when i'm in pain is walking in the pool. do you have a local pool close by? I just walk very slow up and down and build up on it day by day. I miss not having a pool up here. this town can be stoopid :-( |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yep you will enjoy it Marion - no acid. I am having a small portion of low fat(ish)moussaka (I made) and yippee some salad for lunch at work tomorrow. Cant wait to eat salad have not been able to. It is so good to be able to chew again and really feel I am able to eat. Boo hoo its back to work after a week and a half off, rock on my July holidays. So will sign off and go to bed, night all and keep safe. Regards Shona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In a way I'm looking forward to having all my fill taken out next week. I want to be able to eat all the healthy stuff at the retreat and hopefully not suffer from reflux. Marion |

| Hi all, Went to Dr D today, ran into Margo and Shona we all had a good laugh was fun. Well i got 1ml in and i have good restriction at the moment so am feeling really happy about that, lets hope it stays like that. Got a date for my op, not till March next year, so here goes i will have lost at least 30kg by then so i don't have to have it done, how does that sound Vikki, i just have to work out a way of exercising that won't hurt my knees to much, cause the pain is getting worse every day. 3 days of liquids and i can't believe how long it took me to drink my soup tonight for tea. Mind i'm feeling empty now, a decaf coffee for me till my soup in the morning. Kathy |

| Hey all, Its great managed to eat dinner tonight, I had a very small bowl (100g)of homemade taco filling (no taco shell or wrap). Later I managed a 1/2 cup of potato and a bit of gravy. It was great to eat. And by keeping my food diary i managed to keep between 800-900 cals today. I have no acid so far - fingers crossed, will see how it goes when sleeping however. Regards Shona |

| Hi every one, I had an appt to see Dr D today, but couldnot afford it, so my Dad said he would help as he said I could not carry on not eating anything substantial and have all that battery acid from the stomach coming up. He forked out the dosh - Love him heaps I ended up having some fill out. I thought he may take out 1/4 ml or 1/2 ml out but Dr D took 2 ml out to give my stomach a rest, as under so much family stress etc, and that it was really tight in there. My Depression is setting in again and I will need to go back to my GP to get meds again. grrr. I can always feel when it comes on feels like a tidal wave that you can do nothing about but just ride the storm. I saw Karen there she got 1ml in(hope it works and also another lady (forgot her name- sorry) but goes under the name of "wee timorous beastie" on ths website. She is a lovely scots lady and so much fun. She and I had the waiting room in laughter, glad we did not get kicked out. he he. Dr D was so understanding for me and was happy I lost weight. He said if the stress is caused by hubby kick him out... then paused for a thought... and said maybe not for another six months he will help you lose weight and we got the giggles then. I see him again in 12 weeks, but he said if by 6 weeks if I could eat the leg of a chair then come back straight away. I only have 9 more kilos to goal for him he says. Great.!!!! I felt sorry for him as I just burst into tears and poured my heart out too him. I then apologised and he said no problems that we all need to do this sometimes. He was funny he told me to chuck MR W out. Good man I reckon. Hoping to get to SB on the weekend. Love Shona |
