BANDERS UNITE ! Get to know each other chatter !

if you think theyll help you, just buy them now.
you still have between now & your op to be cutting down & they will help. also, even after the op it could take a good few months for the band to give you proper restriction anyway. every little helps!

Thanks.....I just wish I could find some reviews on it....cuz really I am not sure if it has the sizes for the fruit and veg. I mean I know 3 tbls of veg is a portion.....but who knows....I am just trying to find out more about it.
 
im not sure about any information on them, but i did just do a google search & found a code for 50% off. im not sure if the code still works or anything but might be worth a try. google rosemary conley portion pots & its one of the first links to come up

Man...I so just would love to have a sandwich right now.....just a plan old ham and cheese sandwich on wholemeal bread....little bit of mayo and mustard.....just one sandwich.....just a small little mmmmmmmmmmmm sandwich.....I know I only have 4lbs to go and have 12 more days....but i sooooo wish I could have one....
 
dont torture yourself!
think of that sandwich & then imagine dog poo smeared all over it..that'll put you off :)
 
im feeling quite positive since the band fill.

ive now got 6mls in, and i did the first 2 days liquid no problems..they flew by.
yesterday i had porridge, celery & carrot batons & hummous for lunch, then i did stuffed (with stir fried veg) mushrooms & peppers last night as we had richards sister over & shes a veggie. i had about 1/4 of a portobello mushroom & felt like id had about 3 of them. didnt even touch the pepper.
today ive had porridge again, then i did haddock & cous cous for lunch/dinner about 3pm. i had 3 fork fulls of haddock & was full. so i chucked the rest.
i had 2 chunks of watermelon (and strangly i felt full again...even though it amounts to nothing).
ive not felt hungry once..hopefully it'll stay like this when its died down a bit
 
Hey gals...
:)
Glad you liked the eye candy Jenn..I wonder if your OH will mind you plastering the fridge and cupboard doors with pics of Beiron and Marcus...you know for a distraction from the wrong kind of nibbling!!!
BTW the list of bands brought back so many memories ....*sigh*
LA Guns too...did you ever like Little Angels? I wonder what happened to them....
I had a soft spot for Duff from GNR as well... :D



Leesh..hun you ARE a part of it..everyone is..I hope everyone will just dive on in and post..It's brilliant to be able to get to know each other which is one of the main points..so please don't hold back folks...just jump in and mingle!!!

Jenn and Em , I really like the idea of the portion control things....I still have a struggle with that and as I hate wasting food, I would love to see and measure a proper portion of things.
Thanks for the info girls x
 
Emma&alex--- mmm....dog poooo...... Just kidding...I have two dogs here so I have plenty of the real thing...more than I could ever wish for.....

I had my milk and feel quite full now so I am ok for now...just need to think...goal and i will be fine. I did have a hard time when I was sorting out the kids tea, cuz I got tomato pasta sauce on my fingers and it took all my strength not to eat it. My hubby said it won't hurt me if I did so not to worry about it. But I don't want to trigger any food hick ups by doing it. But I am fine.

Neen, glad I made you think a bit. Nah OH wouldn't mind me doing it....but he would just say " yeah hun put them on the fridge.......no let me...They look great just under the kids pics.." *LOL*

This diet was my most successful pre band and the portion pots are excellent. I still try to follow the basics, ie no more than 5% fat and limit calories.

Pre band i ate lots and lots of rice and pasta and I was amazed at the size of a 'normal' portion - probably an 1/8th of what I thought or slimmimg world allowed.

Go for it! I still use my pots x
