BANDERS UNITE ! Get to know each other chatter !

Not at all Tif xxx You are more than welcome ! Part of the reason this thread was started was to balance out the negative views of the band on here.
I hope you can read through the whole thread from the beginning as we have covered some useful stuff already.
 
I love this thread and the spread of positivity... well done Neen and best foot forward all...

Great to be in touch and sending everyone much love and a huge hug as you proceed on your wls journeys...

Yea, I have a pub measure thing somewhere I think that would be a good idea for me too. I did spot the hunks thanks Neen and they were all lovely especially the last one! Will be looking out for next weeks intalation (I cant spell, have dylexia). This thread is so popular now that I cant keep up with it which is great really isnt it? I only had time to scan yesterdays conversations and of course have a bit of a letch of the hunks (while making sure my husband dosnt see the screen, hehe, he would be like "Oh yea, its a weight loss forum is it?")
 
Hi Tif, glad you have booked your op and hope we can be of support to you. I think there are others on here who have been to brussels for their ops too and been really pleased so maybe do a Brussels search if you havent already.

P.s. do you like men with long hair because if you do you should defo have a look back though the thread.
 
Hey Leesh! Yeah I think Jake should stay hairy ...ohm nom nom!!
Don't worry about hubby...just remind him the beefcake is diverting you from the fridge to his arms!!
I'm sure he won't mind being a nibble substitute!
Still waiting for my portion cups to arrive!! I have tons of diet stuff already and more recipes than I can shake a stick at so I didn't go for the complete RC pack..knowing me I wouldn't look at it anyway as I know what I should be having!

I am researching new beefcake sources all the time Leesh so keep posting!
 
As I've had such a LOVELY welcome I better share a bit of info with you all!
Well, Im, VERY happily married with no kids but cats and horses. I originally came on here looking for info on the balloon but got steered off that idea (I'm pretty glad of that now!!) My wonderful hubby and family aqre supporting me (financially and emotionally) through this and I cant thank them enough! I'm going with WLS Group and I'm having the op abroad due to financial restraints!! I have so many plans of greatness and weight loss but I'm almost scared to plan them as its so far away and I dont want to loose steam before I even get to the op!!
My vital stats are that I'm 30, 5'6 and 16 st 6. and my realistic goal weight is 12st 6 and my wish list goal is 11 st or just under.
I will be on here lots posting my (hopefully) successes

PS No long hair not my thing...unless its on Russell Brand nom nom
 
Hi Tif, lovely to meet you and looking forward to walking with you on your wls journey....

Wishing you every good wish and take special care xxx
 
Hi Tif ! Well I am really pleased you are joining us on here and I hope that you enjoy taking part in the post as we are all really determined to make our bands successful for us.

I think you are going to easily achieve the weight loss you are after..if I can lose 9 stone with my rubbish will power, I'm sure you can reach your targets.

Just keep taking in the info...I know it's a long thread but it's got some good stuff in it to help you off to a great start.

I wish you luck with the surgery and I am glad you have opted away from the balloon as I have never met anyone on here who has had success with one and it's a hell of a lot of money to risk.

I like Russell as well...definately makes me laugh...so I shall try and find a sassy Russell pic for you in next Mondays serving of beefcake!

Welcome on board Tiffy.

Remember that you will need to take out travel insurance before you travel .... and to stipulate you are going for surgery. This is very important. Have WLS Group given you the info you need in respect to this?

Ta xxx :)
 
cc- smart thinking...I wouldn't have thought to include the insurance being surgery inclusive.....normal insurance yes, but not the other....smart thinking batman!!



Morning ladies.....
 
Morning peeps, 3 children at school just my manic 2 year old here now, wont even attempt to tidy up in the living room yet lol no point!


leesh well done, you must be over the moon:happy096:

cc sorry your still in pain..hope it eases soon.

Tif hello and welcome..i'm pre op as is ffbb. Your stats are so similar but i'm 35! .

And hello to neen, mazza, jenn and everyone else reading :D xx
 
So annoyed, i managed to gain 4 oz yesterday.....how this is possible I have no idea....it is annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooyyyyyyyyyying......less than 1000 calories a day and only drinking milk and water and no food.....it's just not natural. Well still 4 lbs to go....9 more days to get it off....I hope I do it...not sure what else I can do other than my normal exercise and drink..it's not like i can cut out any food...as there is none.....I am sure there is something actually wrong with me....it's like my body is saying....NOPE this fat is going NOWHERE!!
 
hey Kelly--- I know what you mean...my 17 month old is running around here throwing all sorts out...but my 5 year old is off school today..I let him have a day off since his nana is here, and I had such an awful night sleep, i just thought....oh i can't be bothered today....so I let him have off....he never does that so a one off won't hurt him.
 
I was thinking people probably can't catch up with this thread because i talk too much! *LOL* I can't help it. Scary thing is, I am like that in real life...I could talk till the cows come home...so sorry for posting so much......but I doubt I will be able to stop...it's in my nature.:D

I have days like that, i didn't want to get out of bed this morning..all grey and orrible..but it has brightened up..i'm even going to hang some washing out:cool:.

You will lose that 4lb..9 days is a fair time to get that off.. but do agree it should just fall off us with only having fluids...i'm dreading me pre op in case i'm the only person ever to stay the same or gain...that's just my luck:eek:. I can be sooo good and lose a lb and the lady that only weighs 7 stone nothing loses 3 or 4 lb..the mind boggles x
