P!xie,
So glad to hear you are on the improve too. Let me know when you are heading to the Avenue next and I'll see if we can't meet up there as well. I have an appointment booked for February 2 but am hoping to get one in January some time, even if it's just for a weigh in!
I won't be organizing anything around here until February some time, give people time to get over the holidays.

I can tell you all, to have restriction and not feel hungery at all is jsut the best feeling.
Today I got up and made some veggie patties for dinner tonight, I prefer them cold, then I made 32 Banana Low GI M u f f i n s and a batch of garlic aoli (Thanks Mel) to have with some smokes salmon on crackers for lunch.
Normally I would have had 2 of the veggie patties (just to try them) and at least 2 of the banana m u f f i n s (for the same reason) but I am so over food at the moment I haven't even had the salmon crackers I'd planned on for lunch! And the best part about it is I'm still not hungry!
Heading out to the shops in a minute to pay some bills and pick up some alcamohl for new years. still can't get this silly grin off my face.

Let me know what day you are going to see Anna with the wine. If she needs help drinking it, we can sit and sip together in the waiting room :)
Seriously, it makes you feel very grateful to the surgeons/doctors doesnt it ? Its a two-way journey, us and the Doctors to help us get there.
I have often wanted to give Prof a squeeze to say thanks hehehehehehehe

Julie,
Thanks for that, though even with your Christmas nibbles I doubt your wobbly bits could compare to my bits. LOL
I have to say this restriction has given me a new spark to get back to regular exercise and make this whole weight loss journey work. I've set a goal of 96 and if I could achieve that before next Christmas I'd be ecstatic, but even if it takes 2 Christmases I KNOW I'm going to reach it now!
I honestly don't think I have stopped smiling since the 22nd! I wonder if Anna would appreciate a bottle of wine??

Pyretta !! Wahooooooooooooo
This is brilliant news, I am sooooo happy for you. Its such a liberating feeling to have restriction - allows us to take a step back from the continual treadmill of food, food issues/choices and relax. Its strange how we find ourselves reaching for the 'good' food because we are now in control :)
May your restriction continue!! Doing a happy dance here in Donvale....sadly after my Christmas nibbles, its making my wobbly bits wobble a bit too much!!!!

I thought I should do a bit of an update.
I had the 1ml fill on 22nd December to take me to 6 ml in the band and felt restriction straight away. Because I had felt like this before but it had always eased off within a day or so, I waited. Well I'm still waiting!
I can't believe after all this time I finally have restriction and I am limited in what I can eat, even the bad things! I am finding meats a bit of a problem, but I believe most of us do. I can eat it if it's cut very finely and I chew like mad.
My total food intake since the 22nd has been less than I would have consumed at one Christmas meal!
I know I keep putting exclamation marks after everything but I am so excited to finally feel like it's all working, and going to keep working. This has to bee one of the best Christmas's I've had! I feel like I kid with a new toy, one that I have wanted for a very long time. LOL
Thank you all for your unyielding support, I finally feel like I can achieve what a lot of you have! You all kept me going and my darkest hours and I will never forget that.

Too right Pyretta!! 2009 is going to be a year of moving on and more achievement for many of us. The only goal I have for 09 is to be closer to my goal weight. Yes, less weight! And I know that I share that goal with many people, so I too am hoping for success for all of us.
It will be a year of consolidation for me, as I've had a few of major life adjustments to contend with over the last couple of years. The process of consolidation has already begun, so I'm really looking forward to the future.
2009 is a '11' year in numerology, it is one of two master numbers. It is related to psychic abilities and spiritual insights and has links witht he planet Uran us and the sign Aquarius.
Traits of number 11 are determination to achieve objectives (with resulting success), good communication, creativity, spirituality, making the world a better place to live, self-confidence and self-belief.
So based on all of that, I believe that 2009 will be a great year for all of us!

Jo,
Here's hoping you have a most successful 2009, you have a new job, new restriction and a new outlook on life, What more can you ask for? Oh I know, less weight!
Here's to success for not just both of us, but all of us!

As most people here know I don't celebrate Christmas, but I do have my in laws around for dinner as I respect their religious views and festivals.
That said, There are a few people here I also consider to be close friends and even acquaintances that I would like to wish a very Blessed Christmas to. Your support of this past year has been invaluable. Especially those of you who have had your own trials and turmoil and still found time to offer me support.
May all of your Christmas wishes come true.
