Hi Tara,

I've been a bit the same, really struggling to lose anything, I have been good and I feel like Im back on track & am due to go back on Monday week so I will definitley be getting a fill..

I hope all is well with you!!

Hi all,
So I am not actually doing anything to lose at the moment but was happy enough to see the scales had happily moved downward a fraction so I thought I'd pop it down here.
Maybe I need to concentrate more on food choices rather than clothes shopping choices !! lol

How is everyone else going? We have been quiet in here.
Winter makes it a bit harder I think - all that yummy comfort food.
Mwah

Hi ladies, I was in Christchurch for the last two weeks of the last challenge and was 5 kg off my goal. Hopefully will do better this time. Need to be 78 kg before 6 July as per dr's orders.

I went for a fill & didn't get one.. the dr was happy with how things are and even though I'd only lost half a kg since I last seen her I knew it was from lack of exercise and bad food choices... I am going back in a month and now that Im back into the exercise and eating properly, hopefully ill have a loss next time i go..

i can't believe potato bake could so do so much damage, glad to hear you're on the mend

a little loss for this week, .5

Hiya,

All the best for your fill tomorrow Kellie I hope it hits the spot. lol

I had a major self inflicted blockage on Thursday night and have not been right since.
I scoffed a couple of mouthfuls of potato bake just before bed and spent the next 2 nights spewing acid (and potato) up. Yep I am a greedy fool !!!

And finally yesterday arvo I did the scull the soft drink trick, some came up some went down and tonight I actually managed a Nexium and a tiny bit of food so I think (?) things are on the mend.

And ya know what sucks .. 3 days without food and with very little liquid and the scales did not move !!! How dare they !!!

Let me know how tomorrow goes.

Mwah,
Tara

PS --- Does anyone know how Steiny is going ????
It's been a while since we've heard from him.

Hiiiiiiiiii Tara,

How's everything going for you? I'm so glad to hear you're getting to a great spot with your restriction.. I've decided to opt for half a ml on Monday... not game enough to put anymore than that in.. don't want it too tight..so I'll see how that goes.

My next goal was to get to 90kgs by 16th of May which is my 2 yr anniversary, Im currently 95kg.. I dont think I'll get there, but Im gunna give it a bloody give try lol

Hows everything going with you!? Hows the motivation at the moment? I feel like I've got mine back but just gotta pick up in the eating department, decided I'd try and eat 6 smaller meals a day and see how I go with the weight loss.

Hiya,

Nah, even less than a quarter of a ml (that's .25) so I got just over half that.
It's so tiny eh.
But I guess she had put back in .25ml just before Easter plus this .15ml is a total refill of .4ml. (If any of that made any sense ?)

Actually it is surprising just how much difference such a tiny amount (.15) makes.
It has turned my head off from telling me I always need to forage for food to being satisfied with small amounts at meal times.
Yay for .15 !!!
You must be soooo excited about Monday - I hope it brings you the satisfaction mine has brought.

Mwah
Tara

I know.. was so so so so good!!! and so easy to make... so bad, I ate more than I should have... I just called to see if I could get in for a fill earlier and they said it was lucky I called because she wont be there on the day of my appt. and needed to change it... I now have an appt. on Monday! yay!! lol

FILL! FILL! FILL!

Tara, how much is .15ml ? is that one quarter of a ml ?

How funny we were both having potato bake on the same night.
(OMG HOW GOOD WAS IT !!!!!)

I got my fill today, a tweak of .15ml today and can feel the difference already (YAY !!!!!!!)
Hopefully things will go back to how they were.

And as for the question of potato bake or mash .. it just depends on the day or the craving I reckon.
I make whatever I want now and just feed everyone I know with the leftovers.
I"m going to try to turn that into inviting people over for dinner (and looking really hospitable when I really just need people to eat all the food I cook so I don't eat it ! lol)

Cheers
Tara

PS -- we have a couple of GP's here in rainy Brizvegas that do fills & unfills. I find them so convenient when I can't get into see my Surgeon. Just thought I'd mention it cos if they are here in Brissy there must be a similar deal in other town/cities.
Oh, AND they only charge 10 bucks for the needle and bulk bill the rest - bonus !!!!

haha yeah which i did none of lol

Hi Potato bake is OK if you use low fat cream and cheese, and have SMALL servings.

Tara, how about we just kick each other in the bum lol.. I'm having potato bake for dinner too lol tsk tsk naughty us.. especially bad when you can eat so much more than normal... I dont feel hungry all the time I just can eat so much more at meal times than I should be able too... I'm gunna give the surgeons office a call and see if I can get in any earlier..

Im with you Tara... FILL! FILL! FILL! lol

I did go to the pool this morning so Im back on the wagon just hoping I dont fall off again... tell me, whats the better option potato bake or mashed potato?

Tara, I haven't had to put it to the test yet, but when I asked the receptionist a question along these lines she said my specialist was booked weeks in advance. I'd like to think that if I really needed something there would be a way but I don't know.

Kellie,

I will have that kick in the bum when you are finished with it thanks.

I seem to have gained a kilo since yesterday so I am deluding myself that it is fluid or something but I doubt that as my food choices have been pretty average and I'm having potato bake for dinner tonight .... so ..... not fluid !

I never used to be hungry but since he took fill out ALL I want to do is cook and eat. It's weird and unchartered territory and I don't like it !

I'm with you ... bring on another fill !!!!!!
I will book one tomorrow (hopefully for tomorrow).

Question: Do a few of you have surgeons that won't slip you in for fills whenever you need one ? Like do they make you wait till you next booked appt ???
That seems counter intuitive if you ask me (which nobody did!)

Fill .... fill...fill ........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tara
