Hi guys
Had my first fill today. Dr put in an extra 2ml, but as I couldn't keep the water down, he then took 1ml out. Seems to be better.
Haven't lost much lately, as I've been able to eat everything - absolutely no restriction, so much so that I forget I have been banded. Will be interesting to see how the extra 1ml goes!
Down to 89.8 (finally below 90kg!) yay!
Next goal is 86kg, which is only overweight on the BMI scale!

Hi everyone sorry havent been on but have started a facebook for my weight loss and time contraints mean I cant do everything. had my second fill yesterday and feel full finally. I had 4 ml in 3 weeks agao and yesterday anothr 2 ml. I have a small band 6-8 mls so not much room left for more. I still lost 4 kgs in the 3 weeks and that makes a total of 20kgs since I started on this journey. I am excerciseing at a place called bodytoning where the machines help you do the work. it still works for me, feel much more fitter I got the ohone the opther night and afterwards realised Id run for it. hahah cant rememenr the last time I ran. happy christmas everyone keep uo the good work.

Hi sept bandits after ages thought I would catch up.  3 mths post banding down13 kg, now 81.5 and going well.  Have up & down days for some reason.  Occasional not chewing stuff, but now really enjoy really tasty fresh food, small portions.  Getting into some exercise and it is great to be able to do jobs in the garden without nearly dying from lack of breath. Not had a fill at last appointment, next appt early Feb.  Getting used to the way things are seems to be going ok.  Best wishes to you all for a nice xmas AND congrats to you all for going along so well.  liza

Hello September Bandits,
How are you going during the festive season? I'm nibbling - not good. Will stay off the scales for another week - also not good!

Hope all all have an enjoyable Christmas - and make sure you look at last Christmas vs this Christmas photos to see how far you've come!

Cheers

Kellie

Yay! My test post worked!! Been trying to post a message here for a few weeks now and I've finally succeeded!

Merry Christmas to you all. I'm almost 4 months banded now, lost 18.5kg and have 9.25ml in my band,

This journey has been the most positive experience for me and I am loving every minute of it. I've put on a kg over christmas, but enjoyed every delicious thing i've out in my mouth and know I have the control to lose it again. Having control over my food is the most fantastic feeling, something I longed for before the surgery.

How is everyone else finding their band? I'm beginning to think the emotional benefits are as good as the physical ones!

Have a safe and happy new year,
Amanda x

Hi everyone. I've been very quiet since being banded in Sept. Had gone months without losing any weight - as I couldn't feel any restriction and was abit down in the dumps about the whole thing. But now after my 4th fill I finally have restriction and feel like I'm heading in the right direction....yay!!!! Happy New Year everyone

Hi guys how are you?
I've been so naughty with my food, and the scales haven't budged for weeks!  I suppose I should be happy that I haven't gained! 
Would really love to hear how you're all going.

Hey FOH 17kg is awesome, I'm sure you'll be in the 80's in no time :)

Bernie, how did that fill go?  More restriction?  I'm still way too scared to get one (wussy I know).

Thought I might update my stats on here, keeps me honest :)

27/9/10  H 1.66 SW 115 CW 91.6 GW 68 TL 23.2kg

I'm hanging out to be in the 80's..

I've never had a fill, but the last time I was at the Doctors they told me that had actually  put 8ml in during the surgery.  No wonder I couldn't get more then a quarter of a yoghurt down in the month after surgery.  I think my band can go up to 11ml.

Happy Australia Day everyone I'm off to catch a movie.

Hi Everyone!!!

I'd just like to boast that I weighed in at 88.8kg this morning, making today the day that i have officially lost 20(.1)kgs....YYYYAAAaYYYYY!!!!!!!

It's been almost 3 months since my last fill (I have 9.25ml) and my appetite is definitely increasing, and I'm feeling less restriction by the day, so I think it's time for a top up.

We just booked a cruise for March/April, I'm hoping to look decent(ish) in bathers by then :)

It took me 3 years to make the decision to be banded and the only regret I have is not getting it done sooner!

hello again. have lost 25 kgs but all of that really was will power. Ive had another fill last thursday anad now I cant eat much at all. unfortunately most things wnt go down. I cant work it out yet. lasagna will go down but my tablets wonts. mashed potatoe and peas and corm will but tomatoe wont. some pasta wont but some fish will. at the moment not much will go down. Im not hungry but want to eat something. Im starting to think about the old foods I used to eat..... will see might have to have some fill out. it feels like indigestion or reflux. waiting for the nutrionist to call be back. check out my face book under the email brucerobertson@y7mail. for security and facebook is streakys lapband good luck everyone.

Hey Everyone

I hope you're going well, Streaky congrats on losing 25kg, but I'm sorry to hear so much food won't go down :( hopefully a slight fill reduction will help.

Bernie, how did your fill go????  

Amanda, yay I'm finally in the 80's with you :)
Weighed in this morning at 87.9 only 5.4kg to go till I can be 'overweight'.

What sort of goal weight is everyone aiming for?  I was thinking 68 because it would put me in the healthy weight range (just) but I can't imagine ever weighing that much (or that little).  I might just aim for 70 something and see what happens.

Exercise wise I'm going ok (though last week I was rubbish and didn't do anything).  Trying to get to curves three times a week and Zumba once a week.  

Take care

Also, if you want it to stay that way for a few years, then buy framed art rather than just tacking up posters. It always works to buy one overwhelming poster, something classy or with a good color mix to your wall regardless of what genre you want to work with.I mean really, how cool are these? Of course, you have to pick the theme but still...

thanks gracie and everyone for your best wishes. finally back for another fill end march and I said I want another mill and a half which would take me to 8. I feel like Ive been cheated  as the last 5 months really not losing that much. now Iv got the restrictions I really need. I weighed in my toning class and had lost 3 kgs in 4 days and then another .6 in 2 more days so altogether now is 31.6 kgs and Im aiming for another 20 by the time I go back again. That wont be til 18th May as the appointments are harder to get now. The bad news is that I am again finding it hard to keep anything now. one night I had lasgnae which I could previously eat and I couldnt eat it at all. but the next night I could. why.today I have only keep down a slice of toast with a poached eat  thats all not even water. I seem to be getting the burps which makes me bring it up. Unfortunately Im not that fussed as I just want to continue losing weight at any cost. I know its wrong but thats where Im at now. 4.9 stone off.
