Wow how life has changed since my last post!

Well I was reminded today about my blog :) So here I am so much has changed since my last post way back in 2009. I had my lap band removed as it had prolapsed/slipped and was making me very sick all of the time. It took me a year to convince the Dr something was wrong and I was not just eating the wrong things. So after demanding a barium swallow to prove me wrong it was discovered that yes I had a problem that needed to be fixed! I went to see my Lap band Dr post op and told him I was going well and I had not gained any weight so far. He told me then in no uncertain terms that I WOULD gain all my weight back and that I would never do it by my self that surgery would be the only option. Well I walked out and just cried I was so deflated and upset for my future! So I had my Lap band removed in January 2012. That alone cost me over $4500 as I had no private health insurance at the time. So by September 2013 I had gained lots of weight back and was ready to do something about my problem again. This is when I joined up private health insurance to help pay for Gastric bypass surgery. My health was getting worse and I had to do something. My renal specialist told me I would have only 5 to 10 years before needing dyalisis or transplant (Which they would not do as I was too fat. This scared me to no end. I had to wait the 12 month waiting period for my PHI to mature. Finally it was time for my surgery. I decided on a totally new Dr this time. I went with Dr George Hopkins in Brisbane. He seemed to know alot about it all and I had found he had a good reputation. Leading up to my surgery date I had lots of fears and concerns. To the point of I was chatting to a lady on a forum on the net and she got bypassed and passed away a week later due to surgery. I was gutted and so upset. It really scared me and made me doubt my decision. But after talking to my husband and others I kept my thoughts positive and looked forward to changing my life again for the better. I had to do it for myself and my family's sake. I want to live for me and them! My husband and my children are my life! The big day was Sept 21st 2013! My hubby and children and Mum traveled to Brisbane ready to go to hospital. I had started a strict diet of Optifast and selected foods since Sept 1st to prepare for the op. It was hard but I did it. The big day came and it was so hard my kids cried as they were scared for me. That was hard but thankfully my Mum was on hand for them whilst Craig was with me at the hospital. It was funny because at the time Oscar my son was big on listening to the son "ROAR" By Kate Perry. You know what was the song playing in the theater when I went to sleep? Yep ROAR. I found comfort in that seeing it as a sign. Surgery went well I spent 4 days in hospital recovering. Then another 4 days in Brisbane with my family in an apartment as the Dr wanted me to stay in Brissie to be sure all was ok. Which it was. I found I was tired for weeks. I returned to work after 2 and a half weeks. I went ok just tiring. So now fast track to today............. I weigh myself every Sunday. This Sunday I made the milestone of losing 30 kgs! This is from my pre op diet. I am happy with that :) It is a big leaning curve and such a different way of life now. I still have some "naughty foods but now just a small bite not a lot. If I have too much sugar or fat I find I get so sick and it is just not worth it to do it again. My starting weight this time was 137.2 kgs So these 3 photos are of me at my starting weight (Black shirt) Then me with 30kgs gone (White shirt) Then a simple pic of what a bypass is.

Expecting the worst...

Well Christmas is over and yes i ate yummy naughty foods and drank way too much Rum and coke! But it was a fantastic day and i really did enjoy my self. The few days after Christmas i was not feeling the best so i pretty much lived on milk and ice cream as that was all that i felt like. So really i have had a few GOOD days of high calorie foods/liquids. So when i weigh in this Thursday i am expecting a big GAIN. But i am prepared for it i think. I am expecting a gain due to the calories i have consumed and it is also that ugly time of the month so i am also bloated and Yuck! Also with my big loss last week i think it will all catch up with me.

If i do gain i am feeling ok with it as i am determined i will be ok and be back on track as the new year begins. I know i will have slip ups until new year is over but i want to live life and love it! So, So be it :O) Bring on 2010 i say!!!

Enjoy the photo's. There is one of myself with my lovely family (Craig, Me, Oscar and Grace) Also there is a photo with myself and my big sister Cindy.

Cheers Tina :O)

Life after my latest fill..

Hello all,
Well since my latest fill of 0.5 life as a banded person has returned to normal for me thank goodness. I love the feeling of restriction that my band gives me. To be honest it scares the life out of me when i don't have it. I NEVER want to be back at my heaviest weight of 150PLUS KGS! I honestly DON'T!!! The weight just creaps back on soooo quickly!

Thou i have a few stresses of Christmas coming up the usual of money and other stuff. The main thing that is always on my mind this time of the year and any special occasion is my baby boy Izac :O( I miss him so much! I just keep thinking what life would be like with my 3 children here in my life.(Plus the babies i misscarried) I love my kids they are my reason for living everyday.

Anyway back to my band and my fill.....
I am really happy that i have got my new fill in to stop me stuffing my self in this silly season. I love my band what what it has helped me achieve. I wish i had done it years ago. I just think of all the wasted years i lived as an Obese person.

Anyway i just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and an even better New Year. Tell your loved ones that you love them and enjoy each other's company :O)
My next weigh in is Christmas eve so i will let you know how i go. I am hoping for a good weigh in. That would be a fantastic early Christmas present for me..

Oh and also thank you for your supportive comments for my last blog. It really made me think and appreciate how far i have really come. So thank you from the bottom of my heart :O)

Cheers Tina

So OK i have just worked out to get to the next Bmi of 28 i need to get my weight down to 76.6kg's. That is going by Dr Delacy's web bmi calculator. So that is going to be my goal to aim for. So i have 1.6kg's to lose. What do you think? Wish me luck hee hee

I find weighing my self every Thursday a good way to own the number on the scales and work out where I am at and see if i am on the right track. Yes i know i need to get my bum moving.... Especially if i want to get to goal weight.

So ok that is me for now i will endeavour to post some more later on.
Oh and the photo of me is from our September holiday at the beach.

Cheers Tina

Just over 10kgs to go till goal weight!!!

Ok i weighed in today as per every Thursday and today i weighed in as...

78.6kgs loss of 0.9 total loss 62.8kgs Also my bmi has now changed to 29!!!

I am really happy to have my bmi go down one more it feels great.

Now i wonder how much of my last 10kgs is excess skin and how much is fat?
My Goal weight to be a bmi of 25 is 68.5kgs. I still feel like that is so far away as i look at my tummy and see the fat and think OMG Yuck!
But oh well i will keep on plugging away to my goal :O)

Ok i am back off to bed as i have a thumping headache today. I hate it when my head hurts :O( Hubby my darling is home to look after our kids thank goodness :O)

Cheers Tina

70's Gal !!!!!

Well well guess what i am now a 70's gal!!!!!!! Last Thursday like every other Thursday i weighed my self and low and behold i am 79.5kgs.....
I actually got on and off the scales 3 times just to be sure. I was so happy i nearly cried.
Hubby and i did a happy dance in the kitchen to celebrate :O)
Also i have had a big scare since last time i posted on here. I was have problems with pain in my tummy and keeping food down. So after putting up with it for way to long i went to see my GP and also spoke to my band Dr and nurses. It was thought that maybe i had a slipped band... I was so worried about it and stressed out about it all. Anyway i went to see my GP and he got me to do an X-ray that day and then a barium swallow the next day. Turns out being something totally embarrassing. I was severely constipated. Yuck! I did not know it was that as i had still being going to the loo every day but apparently i must have been leaving so much behind every day and it had built up and caused me much pain. Again YUCK!
So after taking medicine to help me go i am feeling much better. But in saying that i now have to really watch my fibre intake and make sure it does not happen again. It was a scary thing to think my band had slipped and i would need surgery to fix it.
So fibre is the new word in my house at the moment. So all of my family are on a better eating better fibre way of life when it comes to food :O)
I must say i have enjoyed the better food choices we have been making as a family too.
OK here is my last few weigh in's for anyone that may be interested... It is a bit up and down but int he long term it is down so that is what counts i suppose? I have noticed i pretty well gain most times it is that time of the month i just have to accept that i suppose but i still hate it thou :O{ lol

2/7/09 81.6kg loss 1.2kg total loss 59.8kgs
9/7/09 81.4kg loss 0.2 total loss 60kgs
16/7/09 80.2 loss 1.2 total loss 61.2kgs
23/7/09 80.8kg gain 0.6 total loss 60.6kgs
30/7/09 79.5kg loss 1.3kg total loss 61.9kgs Bmi 30

So there it is. My goal weight is 68.5kgs with a bmi of 25. But in saying that i really do not know if i will ever get there with all of my yuck excess stretched skin. So for know i am going to aim for maybe 75kg to 70kg. This last bit of weight really has been the most difficult to lose :O( But all in all so worth the journey of living life as a banded person.
Till next time by for now

Tina:O)

I am excited even thou i gained this week :OP

First of all....
I just wanted to share my new nsv.....

Due to being so cold lately i went to the shops to buy my self a new pair of tracky pants. Yes i know that is not so exciting but the best bit was i actually bought a size..........14.........and they fit well. WOO HOO!
Now i know that tracky pants are naturally baggy and big and generous in sizing... but hey i honestly i can not ever remember buying a size 14 in anything so i am going to take it and love and i might even shout it to the world!!! hee hee

All of my other clothes are still size 16 but considering i used to squeeze into a size 26 i am feeling good!
Thanks for letting me share
I just wanted to share my new nsv.....

Ok here is my weigh in too....
The biggest i ever got was ...
16/10/05 - 151 kgs Bmi 56
15/01/08 - 141.4kgs Starting weight - Bmi 53
04/02/08 - 134kgs - Loss 7.4kgs - Date of Banding - Bmi 50

13/05/09 - Fill at Hbay 0.25ml added
14/05/09 - 83.5kgs - Loss of 1.1 Total loss 57.9kgs
20/05/09 - 83.1kgs - Loss of 0.4 Total loss 58.3kgs
28/05/09 - 83.1kgs - Stayed the same..... Bmi 31
04/06/09 - 82.9kgs - Loss of 0.2 Total loss 58.5kgs
11/06/09 - 83.1kgs - Gain of 0.2 Total loss 58.3kgs

Yes well this week i had a gain. But you know what i really expected more. Sound bad i know but we went away with friends for the long weekend and we ate drank and had a fantastic time. Which is something i have not done in a long time. So this week yeh i am a little annoyed i gained but not too much as i said i really did expect it if not loads more. I actually thought i would gain 1kg or so.

Anyway i do however need to get a hold of the head hunger thing too and i also need to start to make better food choices too. Healthier food choices. I have noticed because i have been so cold lately i have been having a lot of liquid calories. eg coffee's Milo's soups.... The list could go on. hee hee Big no no i know!

So i for one am going to start a fresh and see what this next week brings...
Live life love life i say....
Love the band

I just wish i could get a bit warmer....... lol

Cheers Tina

Hmmm well even thou restriction is good i think i need to stop eating crap and eat better choice foods. It really is driving nuts yes i know i have lost and stayed the same but i am just wanting more.
But in saying that i know i need to work at it more myself.
Oh yeh guess what????
Our local paper is giving away 150 bikes in 150 days and guess what i won bike number 116.... Woo hoo!!! I won a free bike how good is that :O) I am wrapped to say the least...
Also i went to see my renal specialist the other day and he told me he is so pleased with my health and my weight loss. He wishes more overweight people would consider getting it done. But like he also said you have to be mentally ready to get banded too. Not just physically.
Anyway that is it for me for now. I have been slack blogging due to my laptop getting fixed twice. Yes TWICE! I hope now it is ok and no more money needs to be spent on it. Also our camera has decided to bugger up too so that is a pain in the backside. I wonder if there will be a 3rd thing? There normally is???
OK that is it from me for now.
Till next time

See ya Tina:O)

Having Fun and living life :OP

Well since my last post we have had our annual town show. I went with my hubby and 2 kids and we had a blast.
How life has changed! I used to watch the kids and everyone else having fun and i used to be too scared to get on rides in case i was too fat to fit on them. But now not anymore!!!
We went to the show and i got on the rides with the kids. Well they are still little 4 and 2 years old. Anyway i got on the super slide several times and on the little tea cups and the big Ferris wheel almost other things and you know what i loved every minute of it. I love to be able to be on the ride with them and hear their little giggles when the ride spins around or hear them laugh as we go down the huge slide. It saddens me to think of the time i have missed out on with them because i was so fat and i did sit on the sidelines of life.
But you know what i am here now and i am going to make up for it and be an active member of life and an active member of my families life. I want my kids to remember mum doing all the fun things with them. Living life with them!

Did i mention i had a great time with my family at the show :O)

OK now back to business my usual weigh in. Well for some reason i weighed in on Wednesday thinking it was Thursday so it was taken a day early. Then on Thursday when i realised what i had done i had already eaten and drank my cuppa so i thought oh well bugger it a Wednesday weigh in this week it is....

So this week i weighed in at 83.1kgs. So i lost 0.4 this week.
Total loss now is at 58.3kgs Bmi 31.

Cheers Tina :O)

Fill her up!

Ok what has been happening in the last few weeks is.....
Weight wise i have been going up and down like a yo yo and it has been driving me mad. So this past Wednesday i had an appointment for a fill. So i got 0.25ml put in my band to help with my restriction and boy oh boy i think so far it is all good. I am finding the fill amount put in so far touch wood has worked well. Yeh!!! I notice i need to take care and slow down and chew again. I had got a bit slack on this i think. So i think i need to start to remember the basics sometimes and start to listen to my body and band again. But i really think it is the kick in the pants i needed to get losing again.

So i weighed in yesterday and finally i am in the 83's.

OK here is my weigh in too....

16/10/05 - 151 kgs Bmi 53

Finally an 84 Gal :O)

Hi everyone,
Here is my weigh in ....
15/01/08 - 141.4kgs Starting weight - Bmi 53
04/02/08 - 134kgs - Loss 7.4kgs - Date of Banding - Bmi 50

12/03/09 - 85.4kgs - Loss of 0.5 Total loss of 56.0kgs
19/03/09 - 86.2kgs - Gain of 0.8 Total loss of 55.2kgs

23/04/09 - 84.1kgs - Loss of 0.9 Total loss 57.3kgs - Bmi 31

Oh so pleased to be 84 it felt like i was stuck on 85 and 86 forever and ever. I can not believe i can finally say i am an 84's Girl.... Woo hoo for that:O)
You it still only feels like yesterday that i found my self squeezing into a size 26 clothes and i mean squeezing! Now day's i am wearing mostly size 16 but the odd 18 depending on where it is made from? Oh it is all just so good to be able to wear normal clothes. I was hanging my washing out this morning and i even found my self looking at my pants and checking out how small they look compared to my old pants i was washing 12 months ago. Have i mentioned lately that getting banded was the best decision for me and that i am so thankful for all the people in my life that have helped me get to where i am today.

Normal for me now means normal size clothes.
Normal for me now means i eat all my meals off a bread and butter plate.
Normal for me now means i am not worried if i have to walk that bit more from a car park.
Normal for me now means that my body no longer feels like i want to die, my days are no longer filled with me thinking how much just everyday life hurts and my body crying in pain from all the weight and pressure it was carrying around.
Normal for me is to be more positive in life. I now find my self looking on the bright side of life more often than than dark side. My glass is defiantly now half full not half empty so to speak. My total outlook in life is different. I am not so cranky and sad all the time. Mind you those days still happen just not so much .lol :OP hee hee

Oh and another thing that is great we have noticed a huge difference in..... Is our groceries bill is heaps less due to me only eating small amounts of food. You have got to love that when money is tight like it is at the moment in our house. lol :OP I am a cheap feed...:O)

So over all life is great!!!


I hope all is well with everyone
Take care Tina :O)

What has been happening in my world....

First of all i have been very slack with my blog i know....
I have had a few things happen since last posting. I have got my x trainer off lay by so now i can use it at home. I have also saved to buy a "Genki" Full body vibration machine. I got it yesterday so as yet i have not had a chance to really use it other than a quick play. I have got a great exercise routine from a fellow lapbander that i chat to now she has become a personal trainer. So i am excited to get that started and see how i go. It feels like a gym at my house now as i have the x trainer and an exercise bike and now the vibration machine. Now all i have to do is stay motivated to use them all. lol :OP
So OK what else has been happening.... I have started up as an Avon Representative. So far it is going OK so i will just wait and see how that one goes?
Also we have had Easter and a chocolate feast, well the kids anyway. I have just had bits here and there. Thou hubby did buy me a candy egg and some speckled eggs. So i have been sharing them so i do not eat it all. My will power is really not the best lately. I really think i need to get a top up with fill but things have been tight with money lately so at the moment it will have to be on the back burner. As much as i am hate my weigh ins at the moment. I just seem to be going up and down with my weight and it really is driving me nuts! I hate it. I just want to start losing steadily again....
So in saying that here is my last few weigh ins for you to see what i mean...


15/01/08 - 141.4kgs Starting weight - Bmi 53
04/02/08 - 134kgs - Loss 7.4kgs - Date of Banding - Bmi 50

12/03/09 - 85.4kgs - Loss of 0.5 Total loss of 56.0kgs
19/03/09 - 86.2kgs - Gain of 0.8 Total loss of 55.2kgs
26/03/09 - 85.8kgs - Loss of 0.4 Total Loss 55.6kgs
03/04/09 - 86.1kgs - Gain of 0.3 Total Loss 55.3kgs
09/04/09 - 85.0kgs - Loss of 1.1kgs Total loss 56.4kgs
16/04/09 - 85.0kgs - Stayed the same...... Bmi 32

As you can see i have been stuck around the 86kgs to 85kgs AHHHHH!!!!
I want to see 84kgs or less.

OK so what else has been happening????
Um hubby has now been unemployed for about 5 months and it is getting harder and harder to survive. Hence trying Avon to get some cash flow happening. No i know what your thinking but you have just bought your new x trainer and vibe machine? Well yes but they were payed off over time so it was easier to save up for.
Also we have been away with my dad having back surgery. That was a bit of a stress full time. Hubby's health has been up and down too so that has been a worry too. Mind you they will both be OK if they do what the Dr's tell them to do. That is the thing we shall yet to see with them both! What is it with men and looking after themselves? Why can they just take the advice they are given and do as they are told?
Oh well that is enough for me for now. Band wise i am good just needing a fill. I really do want to get a fill and check up soon as i have had the odd pain in my port and it sometimes feels like my pants catch it and it clicks or rubs on them. If that makes sense? It is not bad just can be uncomfortable. I am hoping it is nothing and just my port moved due to weight loss.

Ok till next time stay safe everyone:O)

Cheers Tina :O)
