Adelaide Bandsters???

Hi Everyone
Had my op on Mon at 2pm and can't believe how well I've coped with it so far. I haven't had any pain relief since Mon 5pm. I feel really well and happy. Its awesome to feel so full and not feel hungry or needy for food. When I first posted a few weeks ago I was abt 95kgs and am 90kgs now. Good luck when you have yr op Tarob. Its a big relief to have the surg and for it to have gone so smoothly. B4 the op I had heaps of fears and concerns, and that has all gone now. Take care everyone.
Sue

Whoohoo! I am really happy for you! and I am glad things went well, Not long now for me... about 6 weeks but also 8Kg? grrr and my scales are broken atm(no battery) so I dont know how i am going! Hope everyone is doing well!

5kgs down in a few weeks and gone forever! YAY! I hope do as well as all of you

Tara xoxo

HI there
Just popping in to see how everyone is going, Ihad another fill on Thursday now have 8.5ml in a 15ml band, its finally starting to fill a little tighter....I had a lot of problems with not feeling full at all. So fingers crossed its much better now

Hi Everyone
Its been 2 &1/2 wks since my op. The first wk I had great restriction. Since then I have had barely any restriction. It's been like trying to diet on my own. I'm completely disenchanted by it all at the moment. I can eat whatever I want, whenever. I'm trying not to, I still want to succeed, but it worries me that it is so easy to slip up on bad foods like lollies, chocolate, chips, biscuits. Aargghh!!! Apparently my surgeon doesn't do a fill until abt 10wks post op. The 6wk appt is just a check up. I have no idea how I'm going to restrict my intake on my own for at least 8 more wks. I've lost 1kg, which is better than nothing but I'm v disappointed in my self for not having more self control, ie doing better. I hope everyone else is doing ok though. Take care
Sue

Hey there Sue

I had my surgery in May including pre op Ive lost about 25kg in total, believe me it gets better :) Keep your head up :) You can do it, we all can :)
Big Hi Fives to Everyone
Luv Trish

Don't get down on yourself Sue. I was the same for a long while, because my first fill didn't do anything.

Its hard not to, I know, like I haven't lost anyting in the last 2 months but I have lost cms. Are you doing your measurements? Perhaps that may make you feel a bit better about the situation. In the 2 months I lost no kgs, I lost 2 inches off both my waist and hips. How that works, I dunno cos really muscle can't weigh that much lol

I'm Pregnant!

Thanks Trish and Leah. I'm back on track now and feeling much better about it all. It will b 3wks on Mon. and now I've lost 3kgs! Which has been a great inspiration to stay on track. Was prob being a bit impatient with myself. I also spoke to one of the nurses at the clinic. She reminded me to think abt whether I actually feel hungry, and to have a drink of h2o and go for a walk if I feel like slipping up. Simple but effective. Cheers, Sue

Hi Everyone

Im off to another appointment on Thursday, this I think will be my first appointment where I'll be happy to tell the doctor I dont want heaps filled. Id be happy with about 0.5ml I think
I have done really well since the last appointment, Im now down 27kg total :) Still a very long way to go but Im getting there and its getting very exciting :)

Hey Tarob

Have you met Dr Sabine yet???? I love him he is wonderful, I was so scared to have my op until I met him. He made me feel comfortable....so now I make sure I book all my appointments with him.
Off to see him tomorrow :)

Yes I have, I like him too. I have not met the other guy yet though but i would be happy to keep appointments with him

Cheers Trish

Hello, everyone. I am banded! but very sore and feeling sorry for myself right now. :( But I am getting there, I feel better every day and now I am on day three. Nearly 29KG thats amazing I am really happy for you.

I messaged a friend that i had not told yet on my way to the hospital as she asked about a cryptic facebook message, and she had hers done 6 weeks before hand, By Dr Anderson too :D That made feel really better. I held myself together until I was in there, but then Dr Anderson and steven made me laugh then I was asleep. :D


Hope everyone is doing well



Tara
