Perth Bandsters Get Together?

Fanny Adams · 01-18-2008, 05:40 PM

Would any of the Perth bandsters be interested in getting together for a dinner one night or lunch one day? I am only home in Perth every second week (work on the mines, one week on/one week off), but would love to catch up with some Perth bandsters when I am home.

Ideas for get togethers:

* Find a nice restaurant and all order an entree (and no-one has to feel odd because of that!) :D
* Have a Monthly Lunch or Dinner Party at someone's house, serving bandster style food and portions (everyone takes turns to host).
* Have a picnic in Kings Park, with a BYO picnic lunch

Looks like it's just thee and me, acl, but I'll hold out hopes for more to join us. I'll be home from site on Friday night and will try to organise something for next week and post details.

Hey Min,

Good luck tomorrow. I am a week post op tomorrow, and I hardly feel like I have had an op (apart from lack of appetite). The first few days were a bit hard, but after that, everything seemed to pick up...I am sure you will do fine.

yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ps: so is it true we are meant to stick to liquid for 2 weeks then mushie stage then slowly bring in food? well thats what im gonna do .
cheers

Fanny Adams · 01-26-2008, 05:15 AM

Welcome to Bandland, min! Yeah, it's true. Doctors seem to have different schedules but 2 weeks liquids, then mushies is pretty standard.

Minnie86 · 01-29-2008, 03:56 AM

Fortunately after the 2 weeks of liquids only you will be really impressed at your weight loss start... But as everyone says, dont expect it to last.

Its someone saying for all the pain and crap we have put you through we'll make ur first week of weight loss a good one so encouragement :)

Good Luck! If you need advice about what to eat we're all here!
