Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Hi All - As i said in my last email i have 4.2 in my port, i have found that as i loose weight i need to add more saline - the band appears to get looser as the weight comes off. 4.2 will probably be my last fill as i am now only 2 kilos away from goal weight, i started at 95 kilos and was banded at the end of october 1999, i am now currently sitting on 57, i just want the last 2 to disappear - i know they will but its so frustrating being at nearly at your goal. i also admt my goasl have changed during the year, my initial goal was 65, 60,58 and now 55, I am sure i will be happy at 65. I am now a size 10. My husband thinks this is way small enoguh, and i agree but i have found loosing weight this was addictive - i suppose as it works, and my min keeps saying well another few wont hurt, but i am going to leave it at 55 for a while and then see how i feel. the weight watchers book put my lowest at 54 for hieght etc. - thanks for posting that news article - when was it in the paer. the person that inspired me was Angie from the waiting game - did she inspire anyone else? Dianna - I am loving the olypic games and was very impressed with the opening ceremony. I am nost sure about all this talk about it being hosted in sydney every time, i think it would def loose its interest after a few years and how could we beat our opening ceremony and cathy freeman lighting the torich - it was just the best. The band itself is a total mystery to me as in what it allows and what it does not. About once a week it lets me eat a resonable sized meal (ie a restaurant type) and other times i can eat maybe 1/4 to 1/2 a meal. Then out of the blue i will bring up a cold drink. Wo knows the mind of the band. I just hate the saliva, its gross and stringy and just yuk - hate it when i get that. I wouldnt swap my band for anything. so thats all take care hally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Hi Hally, Congrats on being almost at goal.............if you don't mind me asking, what was your original weight?? ) Pre-Band: 110kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 hi dianna pre band i weighed in at 95 kilos - i think the largest i ever was waas nearly 100 - but did not want to weight myself. I was banded at the end of october 99, it would be great to get to goal in 12 months. Your weight is not that far off from my starting weight, so i will be cheering you on all the way. life is great - clothes fit, i could never in my wildest dreams imagine buying size 10 and my jeans are a size 9. I tried a skirt on in portmans, the 10 was too big and the 8 fitted but too snug - to me this is a dream come true. My husband is worrying about how much i am now going to spend on clothes because in reality nothing fits and the clothes i have make me look silly. so i wish you all the best and know that with perseverance it can be done. hope this helps hally ---------- > From: diana.bosman@... > To: ozbandegroups > Subject: Re: Fw: Fills > Date: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 12:05 PM > > > > > Hi Hally, > > Congrats on being almost at goal.............if you don't mind me asking, what > was your original weight?? > > ) > Pre-Band: 110kg > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
