BANDERS UNITE ! Get to know each other chatter !

FFBB, I think what we have started on here is great, banders are just not aware of each other because of the sheer amount of bypass related threads.
I think if we try and post to any band related thread we see as well as keep these going, it may gradually beef out but I wouldn't count on it.

This is cool though and a definate improvement on what it was before and I'm really happy to have met you and Cah-ching and all the other banders who wanna muck in!
I always felt like the other banders didn't like me, well I am pretty sure a couple don't despite my best efforts and good intentions...ya can't bond with everyone!

Never mind though! I will always try and offer something if I feel it's relevant or is going to be of use....whether I get any answer or not is not really something I can worry about anymore.

Funny you should say that. I used to watch you from afar and think ... she's doing so well she'll not want to bother with a failure like me. lol
May be we need to demonstrate we are not infalable and we are humans and need help too.

I know on Minimins I've been told I come across as very opinionated, scary and no-nonsense as well as caring and a bit of a depressive. In real life ... I don't think I come across that way .. I've met Sambucca she can tell you lol. So don't take it personally ... just keep ding what you do. I think you and Mazza are inspirations and I so wnat to hang off your coat tails ... to lose a stone would be an achievement for me right now. :eek:

my goodness .. one autistic child is enough but two! I take my hat off to you.

I comfort ate yesterday ... I was disgusting. I've not stepped on the scales but my clothes tell me I haven't lost any weight or any inches. I'm so frustrated and sad.
I'm having a fill tomorrow - I'll chat with the dietician too and make it clear I want proper help not "you can always get a bypass afterwards" talk!

Ok well you had a bad day.....just chalk it up to experience and move on. Everyone gets bad days.....just start a fresh today. No point in feeling guilty about what is already done.....

You'll be fine...I am sure once you get more of a fill...you'll feel hungry sooner and you'll want/need to stop eating sooner.
;)

trust me...all is not lost. Just get some stuff that is good and healthy for your to eat...ready for those moments when you just want to have something.
 
Hola banders!

I wrote a loooonnng post which promtly dissapeared - sums up the day Im having!

Anyway gist of it was:

FFBB - good luck on your pre op, which LCLD are you doing being lactose intolerent? x

CC - Spin and BodyCombat in one day, go you! x

Neen - sorry you are feeling stressed x

Adios - back to this damn spreadsheet!!!

I don't think you seem like that at all. The thing is...on here we are all reading words and the actual inflections and tone of our voices are not easily expressed.

I know I am opinionated...and I won't apologise for that. Scary....um....well I am no stalker or threatening in anyway...and I doubt you are either. No nonsense....well I am the same...I think I am very matter of fact and say things as I see them..not a bad thing....better than beating around the bush. Caring...how is that every bad? Depressive....we all have bad days....if they don't well then they are lying to us and themselves.... so you are just fine in my book;)

howdy Mazza,

Thanks:D I am only 4 pints of lactose free milk....plus 3-4 tsp of bovil drinks ( which in fact I just have a 1/2 tsp salt water shot first thing in the morning as I really don't like the bovril stuff and that is it....I can have surgar-free jelly, but I am not really bothered...I can't manage much of it anyway and end of wasting it so I don't really bother.....I have 2 more weeks to lose 5 lbs now....which I know that in the last 2 weeks i lost 11 lbs...so I should do well. :fingerscrossed:


Ca-ching- I would maybe cheat on this diet...I know that I have thought about it the odd time or two, but the slightest cheat and I will make it worse cuz not only will have more weight to lose in less time, but then I will bring the hunger back....don't want that.:)

hehehe nope...not to mention, I have the memory the size of a snow pea....so I always forget what I say or write just after I do it...so I wouldn't remember what I put anyway....it's the kids I tell ya....you get pregnant and then when they are born they suck your ability to remember right out of your head....I am sure of it....I am sure I can find some scientific proof somewhere...*LOL*

there is a way to get posts back when you think you've lost them, but it'd be hard to explain :eek:

I know, my DH ( darling husband-just in case you didn't know) tells me how to sort it....but I never actually listen...cuz i have normally done something else to mess that up too....

Meh....I would have been rambling on about nothing always...*LOL*
 
ca-ching...you know you are doing so well with the exercise, I really envy you....I do love exercise...but with the job and the kids I really don't have the time to devote to it like I would like. I used to be an aerobics instructor so I do know what I am doing...and I love the gym. I just 1) can't afford it 2) haven't the time...3) want to get down to a size that i feel comfortable in a gym.

I do still exercise as I walk at least 3 miles a day...and other times more....plus my work involves me standing most of the day as well....which is hard any the tiny feet I have....all that weight on such tiny feet.....

But I do miss the real thrill of a great workout....the high you are on...tired...but it feels good....plus I miss the swim after wards...just to relax and chill out....

When I can afford to do it again...I will....and I will make the time....ipod in hand and telly to the read....

:ashamed0005: oh noez! I have been rumbled!!!

Hope you are OK Mazza...thank goodness it's Friday though right?
Got your Christmas va-va voom dress picked out yet? Pictures will be required naturally

Cah-ching and FFBB ...we shall overcome girls!!!
Just keep doing what we're doing and we can figure out most problems between us.
I think we have covered a huge amount to do with comfort eating already and I am definately going to be looking back through the thread a lot to reabsorb a lot of the points we have been over and started to tackle..

Julie love I so hope you get some relief from the crap life has been throwing at you recently xxx You have done awesome and can you remember pre-op?

Remembering how much you can do now compared to back then is always a good thing! You are looking fabx

Hiya Neen,

Well things are settling down as my son is out of hosp:D:D As for the hospital I am still nowhere nearer to getting a date for another fill, but I have been making enquiries regarding where I stand and what I am entitled too. First PALS , a waste of time, spoke with them Monday sed they would call me Tues that call didnt come , tried calling them Wed,Thurs and Today and all I get is the answerphone:mad: , Anyways I am one not too be deterred I call my PCT and she is going too look into what my "package" entails....she sed to me she thinks that it covers wiv lifetime aftercare with Nhs....so if that is true then the surgeons secretary is leading me up the proverbial garden path saying there isnt any funding for fills atm and I shall be going down the hospital (to wait all day if necessary) too see the surgeon and ask him to sort his staff out and stop telling her to fob me off (its not his fault btw, his done a fantastic job. But between the secretary/dietician and PALS they all fobbed me off.........Watch This Space Ppl lol - Thanks for your kind words Neen - Its most appreciated xx
 
Aww what a shame, the PALS people were great for me, suppose it depends on the hospital. Hope you get sorted soon hun X
