Chickie you are a bloody legend and inspiration to all us pre-bandits that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Keep it up guys and we can all give them skinny b***hes a run for their money!!!!

NO WAY!! I live down near the library! There is a good chance I have seen both of you out and about. Small world huh?

And a huge congrats on the banding! How's it all going?

As for me? The last 18 months have been huge. As some of you may have known, I cared for my FIL till his death in July '08. In August '08 I went back to work, and just got a huge promotion this August. I am tired, grumpy and happier than I have been in a long time.

More big (for me anyway) news. My DH is going to be banded. It will be Dr C, after Christmas at this stage (I work in retail, no time off for me till after new year!) unless I can work out some way to swing getting him to and from the hospital and giving him the moral support he will need to get through the surgery.

Okay random, I've been on this site how long and only just found this post? Lol. I'm in brisbane as well, bayside and was done in May this year, the weightloss has definitely been slow for me but I knew it was always going to be like that as I'm on medication that actually makes me gain (gotta love docs) hmm so what else? Only my family really know I've had the surgery, although small victory for me yesterday - Had to go to the pharmacy and get antibiotics cuz I'm sick at the moment and the lady there who I've known since like 6 or so was just like "sarah you've lost weight" lol. As I walked out I said to my mum that it freaks me out when people are like "oh you've lost weight" because I automatically think omg do they known I've had it done? Lol, stupid I know but oh well lol. Anyway do any of you catch up? I hate that yahoo thing because it's not set out properly so I refuse to use it lol

Hey Chickie I thought your face looked familiar...that's so funny. I live up near the big golf ball on the hill (you'll know what I mean). Your story is such an inspiration. Good on ya girl!!!

Feeling bit dishearted at the moment. I'm hungry and picking at food and my other half telling I'm going to stretch my stomach and ruin the band and its all just s***. Any words of encouragement. I could do with something right now.

Eating normally, just no where near a much. These dietician's just dont seem to have a clue so I just stop when I feel full, surely listening to what my body is telling me is the best indication.

Fill not till the 20th. I need tighting up. Allowing too much crap through, I know I am, but sometimes I just can't stop myself
