Evening all. I read your earlier comments about the negativity on other threads & while heartedly agree with all your comments. What was said was harsh. This forum provides a great platform for support & honesty with people that have many of the same issues, struggles & anxieties. I love the way on here we are free to help, guide & obtain advice at any time along our journey. I'm sure that not a single one of us has had a problem free journey & i for one will continue to ask for help, post my thoughts & offer (where I can or think I can i can help) my advice & i hope what i do here is positive & useful.
So i thought it about time i removed my 'fat bird' profile pic & replaced it with me!!

I did read the thread Adrienne, I've been catching up when I can with your posts, as I mentioned before I'm contemplating a sleeve myself so I like to read to see how you're getting on. I was mortified when I read those nasty comments, this is a site for support, help & advice. As my mother says, "if you haven't got anything nice to say, then say don't say anything at all" - a phase I think a few members should read & take heed with. Anyway, please please do a diary, I for one would love to read it! 
Banded - cheers with water yes... but not for long chick.
Dreamer - No, no Kath at Manc, not yet anyway! I've seen 4 people there now, all very lovely but Kath I'm yet to meet.
PS loving all the new piccies Girls... I might pluck up the courage to show my face too xx

my new life!!
Hello everyone,
I'm an long termer exactly 4 years in sept..god that's flown by!
I love to help anyone where I can with my own personal experiences,as let's all be honest we are the experts.
It's better to come here on this forum and get help from people who have to "live" this new way of life with weightloss surgeries.
The comments I think you are all referring too are made by someone who honesty will just be trying to advise.
Perhaps a bit blunt,but she is always around to help others and we all have to be careful in those early days when all is new.
I'm always here...but at the minute I'm bloated and sore tummy and trumping like a trouper! Unfortunetly this is the normal for me since my bypass!

Thanks Emma Louise, I respect your insight and would agree that you maybe be better advised but when all different providers give all different "rules" to follow I think sometimes we have to trust ourselves abit to make the correct decisions and sometimes the mistakes.
I love some of the advice and help ya'll give me but I think some comments I've read are purposefully presented on here with the intention of being nasty for nasty sake... It almost comes across bitter and angry at others failing.
I never got my body in the state of being morbidly obese/super obese because "I" recognised the need to change ... I just couldn't maintain. I live a healthy lifestyle. I run half marathons . That doesn't give me the right to be nasty, opinionated or belittle someone who I know nothing about. I have a Few choice words as I've read the diaries of some of the rather " offensive" members and personally well done but seriously ....? Grow up and stop being bitter at others faults .
For me it just puts me off and a lot of new members agree that it takes away the want to express our troubles/issues and it's a shame because like yourself there are some amazing insightful people we can learn from .... I personally could never talk to people that way. I was brought up with manners and to be respectful xxx much love

my new life!!
All I can say is this.....this site is an absolute "must" for new members,many times in the early days I didn't have a clue what to do with this "alien body" ...and this new lifestyle.
Many times I felt lost and felt even my family couldn't relate to how I was feeling.
Even now the doctors are a bit clueless on my bypassed body.
Anyway..I thank this site and the support I got to help me shrink from size 26 to 12/14 jean 10/12 top.
So good luck bandedhun stick around and enjoy it! X

Hi everyone!
It's been great reading your posts. I am booked in to have a sleeve on 29 of this month and starting to feel the anxiety now. I had to post on here because all the way through this diary,banded hum, I've found myself nodding in agreement to everything you have been saying re your food issues. I know I'm being sleeved but would love to join your friendly little group if no one minds... Louise xx

Hi ya! Of course you can .... Post everywhere, I just put my private life stuff on here, that anyone is welcome to relate to.
Wow look at you getting a sleeve, that's great news! Good for you. Are u excited ? Nervous?
It's a weird world this WLS stuff ... But I'm finding my feet personally with it. Every day is different but the head remains a constant struggle and that's what we got this site for.
I don't know if your like me but I'm alone in this journey, an unsupportive and interested partner . My family don't and won't understand - my friends? What friends? I've lost most of them To my eating disorder and binge eating. It's a lonely dark place. I hope for me, by the summer I'll have the courage to go out and live life a but more, go to a coffee shop and sit without worrying in the fattest person in here or my clothes are too tight.. ( crazy thoughts I know but it's all true ) and I did say this was my MAD FAT DIARY lol
.... Normals boring anyways lol
Good luck darling and here anytime xxxx

I wasn't hungry when I woke this morning so I had a yoghurt as normal with a pint of water ....
This evening was half a vegetarian cottage pie ... So not much But I'm just not hungry today, so figured drink plenty and if I'm not fancying food then go with it, some days will be worse than others.
It's crazy because before my band I never would if BELIEVED anyone telling me I'd survive in that level of food ... But you do... Other days I struggle more . Don't get me wrong when I smelt fresh bread cooking in the shops .... Ohhhh yum ... But I couldn't of eaten it even if I wanted too ...
So it's a crazy one really. I think the bands amazing - I really do.
I'm so thankful to all you guys and dolls as I really beat myself up all the time. Put myself under so much pressure to be perfect and that's not live and I'm learning that everyday thanks to ya'll .

Hi Bandedhun.Not been on for a few days.Started back at work.No time to think about food but what's now amazing with the band is I didn't feel hungry.My head is starting to change the way I feel about food.Only a tiny bit but small steps .Spent too much money and too much stress to make this not work.Your diary is brilliant .Dont let anyone upset you.We are all beginners at this and are allowed our own feelings and mistakes.Ive not only sucked choc but eaten a whole kit Kat . We should learn that it won't kill us as long as we are being good most of the time.We are not perfect and we shouldn't beat ourselves up.You are doing fab and before you know it you will be back in the clothes that make you feel confident.People think this way of loosing weight is the easy way out.Its certainly not.Think it's the hardest think I've ever done. Keep up with the good work. Ps you look gorgeous already so don't worry about anything x

I'm back to work tomorrow so I'm looking forward to being busy, no ones ones upset me darling. All is good I just get worried incase what I do influences anyone in my mistakes, I can only tell my story and my experience and hope others learn and share around it, all I have to offer you all are my flaws ... That's why I'm here.
Your doing amazing, isn't the band a great tool for yoyoers... Foogvis off my mind - like you. It's amazing, and same as when you say about spending too much for it not to work.
All is good my daisy dear. Things are slowly falling into their right places xxx hugs xxx
