Guest guest Posted August 19, 1998 Report Share Posted August 19, 1998 Hi Geoff, Where did you have your surgery done? Has the band advanced all the way to Geraldton or did you have to go to Perth? I used to live in Sydney and I visited Perth a few years ago. I really love Australia and hope to take up residence there again one day. BTW how is the weight loss going? cheers Barbara > Re: New to list _ Aussie > > > >From: Young-Hetzel Barbara YOB > Barbara.Young-Hetzel@...> > > > >Hi Geoff, > > > >Welcome to the group.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 1998 Report Share Posted August 24, 1998 Hi Geoff, Welcome to bandsters. How long does your Dr say you have to stay on purees, for most of us it is 4 weeks. How is Geraldton? I have some business I need taken care of over there so maybe you can do me a favour? What suburb are you in? (BTW I am in Sydney [but I do not drink the water ]). What about a bit more of an introduction? How tall are you? How much do you want to loose? Married? Children? What is the Geoff Elliott story?

In a couple of weeks the doctor will tighten the band. At the moment I'm on liquids, and fast growing sick of pureed apple, soups and smoothies !!!!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 1998 Report Share Posted September 3, 1998 Hi Jo-Ann, I keep thinking about how impressed I am with the amount that you have lost...it's keeping me going until D-Day. Can you give me a rough guide (when you have the time) of what you would eat in an average day. For example, can you have two pieces of toast for brekky, or is that too much? I now have two crumpets for brekky and still feel hungry by 10am. I am hoping this operation will fix that for me. What do you think? Thanks, Steph.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 1998 Report Share Posted September 15, 1998 Hi , Things aren't going so great now, I have actually put 2kgs back on!!!! Please people dont get downhearted. The reason I have put the weight back on is that I have had all the fluid removed from my band so my Dr could do a gastroscopy. Results are OK. No slipping and everything is fine. But then my Dr decided to go on 6 weeks holiday. I can't get the band tightened until 22 October. I'm trying to watch what I eat but it does feel good to enjoy food again. Normally (with tightened band) I find that one piece of toast in the morning does me till lunch time. The band is still restricting me. I find that I can only eat 1-2 pieces of toast but I get hungry after a little while. Hope everyone else is doing OK Aussie Jo-Ann Re: New to list _ Aussie > > > Hi Jo-Ann, > >I keep thinking about how impressed I am with the amount that you have >lost...it's keeping me going until D-Day.
