Evening all. Well I am getting nowhere fast trying to get an ealrier appointment. However M TB is very unwell and my biggest focus is him right now. Forgive me if I don't post but I am struggling at the moment juggling too many balls and I have poor hand eye coordination at the best of times
Will be thinking of you all - and you may see the odd post from time to time sent in the early hours when I cannot get to sleep

@ TB You put a smile on my face when I read u been juggling too many balls cant think why , ha ha !Well as most of u know I been poorly for last few months, Dr's office called me today ( had 2 have bloods done because white cell count is extremely low and body cannot fight this damn infection I have had for 4 months now) he wants too see me Thursday morning to discuss his findings. Lets hope its nowt bad and just need some supplements/ booster of some kind - I still got the damn infection so the steriods/nebulizer,antibiotics and inhalers have not made no difference........ All the best 2 e1 - MeJulie xx

aww so many poorly people
TB I hope you and mr TB are soon ok, pain is not good and shouldn't really be tolerated hunny xx
MeJulie bless you..... I hope like you it's nothing to worry about flower I will be thinking of you on Thursday xxx
CC nice to see you..... hope you're still coming tomorrow to the group, might text you to remind you in case you don't come on here between now and then xx
I only have the excuse of being shattered as for not being on here last week or so. Sorry everyone.
Much has happened again a la planet Rache. Moved desks after physio came to assess my needs as my back has been playing up since I moved jobs nearly two years ago. I now have an extra 12" to play with girls!!!!
The extra foot has made a surprising amount of difference, I don't get so cramped any more. A new chair better suited to my needs has been ordered and should arrive in a couple of weeks.
Hospital have been treating me too and today have recommended I begin gym sessions for pilates at their gym, so a) it doesn't cost me more money and b) I can go during work hours as it is to help with my treatment. It won't be forever but hopefully will give me more confidence to go to the classes at my gym. My social phobia has kicked in big time and I've got to the point where I'm terrified of going to my gym classes for fear of being the fattest in the room and the least capable. I've suggested seeing if I can go in and observe a class and physio thinks if it helps allay my fears it's a good idea. I know it sounds silly but I get in quite a state about it and have to admit defeat a bit so going back to baby steps on this one.
Positively though I have signed up to do a sponsored zip wire to raise funds for Birmingham Childrens Hosp ICU
It is something I've wanted to do since I was a teenager and always felt too huge to do it. I'm half a stone over the weight limit for it so using it as motivation to get my butt back in gear post xmas. I'm soooooo excited!!! March 18th is the day
Me and my girls are all on a post xmas detox type of thing. Both my girls are carrying a little more than they should be and they both complained about it over new year so they are healthy eating during the week and I will let them have biscuit or two if they're good at the weekend. I'm conscious not to deprive them so the whole diet/binge thing doesn't start with them, but would love to see them healthier. Coral cycles 5 miles a day too and from school and amber walks 5 miles a day too and from college so I know they are active enough it has to be the calories going in that is causing the little bulges for them.
I gained a little over xmas after my small defill, and am keen to get that off and more for this zip wire. I'd be mortified if they turned me down on the day due to my weight!!!
I'm going on a date on Friday!!!! Should be interesting
and who ever knew how yummy and fresh tasting kiwi fat free activia was!!!
Will update soon xx

Evening, has anyone good news from Mrs Pill. Have seen her posted for ages....hope she is ok?! As for me, someone brushed me the wrong way this morning and tried Sooooo hard not to burst into tears so I said enough is enough and took the rest of day off. And also Monday. So with my pm off I went to the gym... I cannot walk!!! But it did make me feel better + I had a very nice (and steamy looking ) and he calculated my weight, height, body fat muscles etc... the good news is apparently I only have 8% fat around my heart which for someone like me is very good.... someone very healthy running marathon is 3% so not bad. So upwards and onwards. Have a lovely evening everyone

Evening all.
Well the pain in my side is a constant thing. I have stopped taking the pain killers as they were making me constipated but as I am a week away from my appointment I will do a St Joan of Arc smouldering at the stake and bear it
My hernia has been giving me terrible pain and as much as I wanted to hold on and lose some more weight before repair I don't think I can bear it any longer.
On the positive side two people at work today said how well I was looking and had I lost weight. I said I had because I needed to and I was just taking it slowly. The clothes I have been wearing are very loose so time to have a dig out of the wardrobe and see what fits
Have a blessed weekend all.

isn't it lovely when your colleagues finally notice your weight loss TB.
How is everyone doing?
Date was rubbish, got on fab by text and email but no chemistry face to face..... back to the drawing board

Healthy eating has gone well, lost 5lbs of my xmas gain.
Pilates at hosp gym has tortured me, in loads of pain. bloomin no pain no gain business. still instructor was lush so not all bad.
Must get up, must get up, must get up

Rache you know the saying - you have to kiss a lot of frogs.
Well done on shedding the poundage. Can sympathise with the pain. I wish the weather would pick up a bit - I need to get back on my bike - really missing it - mind you better check I should do anything with my hernia giving me so much pain:cry:.
Hope everyone is having a relaxed weekend.

Hello everyone. Thankyou Mis for missing me xx
I was having a wee break because I was getting a bit OCD with weighing and being on the forum and I just needed to have a break and get centred again if you know what I mean. My weightloss has been static and it was getting me down...its difficult to give anything when ur like that so as they say- 'a change is as good as a rest' so I've had a total break from all things gastric band-ish.
Its funny but sometimes I think I need a fill and then I eat something and it sticks! Its made me realise that I need to stick to eating the band-friendly foods that are harder to get down and then less of them so I can kick start the weight loss too. i'm also going to join the gym tomorrow (its half price next week!) so that should help. Oh- I wish it was all a whole lot easier than it is. I'm VERY impatient and its hard to watch everyone losing so fast and I'm stuck stuck stuck
However, I know what I'm doing wrong- and this week I'm going to put it right!!
Mis: Thanks for missing me and I've missed you too- your new profile pic is fab- and what a beauty you are too! Is that your dog? What is it?
Flutterby: Hi again x
Rache: I must have kissed about 15-20 frogs before I met Mr-Not-So-Bad-with-all-his-own-hair! well,( maybe not kissed them all, couldn't bear some of them!) You just have to keep trying...and try to keep your 'tick-list' to one side of A4!!
TB: Pain is very draining- I can sympathise. Not and easy situation for you and with MR TB not feeling good too Have you tried altering the pain relief?
BD: So sorry you are still not great with your chest troubles- maybe Spring will bring better weather and better health.
Miss Hungry- sounds like your back of track
MellyB: keep going- it'll come right in the end...you can't go backwards anyway, thats for sure.
And anyone els I've missed out- keep the faith!!!! The faith says " Gastric bands are the best things ever!"
