Hi All

Yes I found this new version, Im not a fan, and I didnt save our stats! Im wondering if any other January Banders have come across and might have the stats??  I doubt it - as the Yahoo people only gave us a couple of days notice and I was away over the weekend so only discovered on Monday..

Not much change for me, I am going to relax a bit over the silly season and enjoy this year as it has been one hell of year!

Hi Gail and others,

I am still here, just been run off my feet taking care of my dad who was rushed to hospital at the beginning of Nov and had to spend 4 weeks there, he is home now but needs to be visited/stuff done etc (too long a story to go into it)!

All still good with me on this journey, I havent had a proper weigh in with the surgeon for ages but other scales say I’m under the magic 100kgs! Which would be great if the docs scales say that too! Im not going to worry too much over the silly season, Im going to keep up the exercise as much as possible. I have to say one thing I have brought my very first pair of Lorna Jane tights (even though they are way too expensive) but I have never been able to fit into them I use to just buy the $10 black tights from Kmart/Target/Best and Less....

I hope everyone has done all there Chrissy shooing and have a lovely break.


Cheers

DJ

Hi all,
Just found you all and added my stats. I am very happy to be 20kg down, and quite honestly if I stay at this weight for the rest of my life I will be satisfied. Having said that I am aiming for another 6kg. Today I am off to the docs to get some fill removed. Whilst the weight loss recently has been great I am not really eating any meals, just snacking. I am a type 1 diabetic and it is playing havoc with my blood sugar levels. The past fortnight alone I have woken up with such low blood sugar 4 times that I have no recollection of the morning. My poor 6 year old daughter has a lot to cope with (a loopy mum with low blood sugar and an identical twin with a brain injury). So I am hoping getting some removed will allow me to eat more consistently and get my sugars under control again. Glad to hear how you're all doing, have a great Christmas.

Hi All I am a Dec 09 bandit but there doesnt seem to be anyone on that thread anymore. I was wondering if you guys would mind if I posted on your thread from time to time as you are only 2 weeks behind me. I found these threads really informative and would still love to keep in contact and up to date with people who have bands. (especially when I have only told my family) Well anyway merry xmas and happy new year to you all and congratulations on your upcoming 1 year bandversary.
Cheers Tracy

Hi All,

Yes I am still around just had a chance to get onto this board and still struggling to come to terms with the new format!

Well done to EVERyone you have done fantastic over the past 12 months and Tracy of course you can join us you will have noticed we have lost the rest of January 2010 Banders in the new format!

Gail: Thanks for your thoughts, my dad is on the mend, slowly, but he will get there..

I have added my stats but seriously have no idea how much I weigh! As I think I mentioned I only ever weigh in at the surgeon and I haven’t been to him for a couple of months but on the gym and GP's scales I was under 100kgs!! BUT I think they are a little out! I have certainly been indulging over Xmas mainly on all the food that slides down easy (cheese, chocolates, cold meats etc) but I am still getting out and exercising every day except I had Xmas day off...

DJ BD 27/01/2010 H 180cm SW 143 GW 90kg CW 100 (I think?)
Katie BD 11/01/2010 H 176cm SW 98 GW 72 CW 78

Wishing you all an exciting 2011, Im hoping to drop a few more kgs so Im looking fabulous at my 40th in February!

Cheers

Hi Karen,

Welcome to this forum, we have lost a few of our 2010 Bandits in the change over from the old forum.

I cant speak from experience as I have been fortunate with my weight loss, but I dont think more fill is the answer? This is probably what others have asked.

How are you going on the exercise front? Is what you are eating -when you can eat - good things, protein, good oils etc etc? As we all know that the food that slips straight through is all the bad stuff (believe me over the last few months I have been giving the bad stuff a real workout..ha ha) Keeping up the fluid intake (try at least 1.5 litres of water a day as thirst is often confused for hunger)..Keep a diary of what you eat and drink and maybe make an appointment with your Nutritionist and ask her/him for some suggestions?

Just some thoughts..

Cheers
DJ

Hi Karen
I am a bit like you I have had to have fill removed twice now. I sail along quite fine get to that time of the month and I cant even get water down which is very frustrating because apart from that time of the month everything is working perfectly.... hence having fill out twice has resulted to eating anything and everything in sight.. No will power at the moment either and a 5kg weight gain GGGGRRRRRR want to get a smige put back in but am frightened i wont be able to eat or drink again. Still all that aside I love my band and have had good weight loss up uintil now. My doc says this is the tricky time just getting it down to that exact amount that suits you. Could be the difference between as little as .5ml which is like a tear drop... hang in there and lets help each other along and try and go for good food choices after all the party period is over now... Mental note to self as I am still in Party mood. Good luck

well I went for my official monthly weigh in today and was pleasantly surprised had lost 1.8kg so now am definitely over the 50kg lost in 13months exactly so pleased as i expected to see a gain. Lets hope the small fill of 3ml suits me at that time of the month.  Would love to get thru to my next apt without having to have any fill out... my doc said he would be happy if I could lose another 7 kgs. so at the moment that is my goal would love to be one size smaller in clothes so may need to lose a bit more than that but at the moment 7kgs although alot seems doable. Have to forgo this party mood though think I need to start exercising... Good luck to everyone as you are approaching your 1 year anniversary....
