Hi ...

Mmm.... I thoroughly agree with everything you said in your post to

Maree. It has given me something to think about as well.

My surgeon also said to me that I would never have to diet ever again,

that just the much smaller amounts of food would be enough... I would be

able to eat everything in moderation! I don't do anything in

moderation, its all or nothing. I am this week trying to wean myself

off chocolate - not very successfully I will admit. I am now watering

my vino down with soda and ice, making me piddle more - so is that

good?? Not sure anymore what is good and what isn't. I was telling Nic

the other day that I lurve my cruskits with butter and Pecks Anchovy

Paste - could eat six of the ba5tards easy. I have changed to 3

cruskits with avocado - what's worse???

I am sick and tired of looking at calorie counters, fat content, sugar

content etc etc. I had this band installed for two reasons, 1... to

loose weight 2.... to keep it off and control me. Surgeon said -

perfect candidate with that attitude. I am still waiting for something

to happen.

I have put on about 2 kilos since my failed fill the other week -

failure because the surgeon couldn't be there due to emergency etc etc.

Well, he should have to suffer the two kilos, because by the time my

shoulder surgery is over then I wait a further two weeks for fill,

because surprise surprise, he can't see me for two weeks because he is

either away, in surgery or doing whatever it is that he does rather than

be there for his Sydney patients other than one day a month these days,

I will have put on five bloody kilos and it will take me about 10 months

to take them off with my history. But what do I do???

I have been contemplating finding a new surgeon who is available at

least 2 days a week, one day for the fill, one day for an unfill if I do

my usual and be unable to swallow anything. I am a bit over it all this

week... frustration at 2 kilo's being re attached to my abdomen, and the

stress of being busy doing stuff and the house looking like the Gaza

Strip. I don't want a new surgeon, I like my guy, but he is just not

there enough and I need fill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok.. my whinge for the day...

, hope you are doing well... sounds like you are.

we're like labradors, that's how we got into this pickle in the first

place

I remember him clearly saying to me in his pre-op consultation that I

" will never have to diet again " . Ha!
