**Mazza** · 27th February, 2012

Whats up? x

miserable · 27th February, 2012

Just people looking down on the band like its the black cheap and of you have one troy are kind of doomed to fell

miserable · 27th February, 2012

Sorry predictive text. Black sheep and If you are giving the band you are doomed to fell...

**Mazza** · 27th February, 2012

It happens - alot! but dont let it get you down. No one knows what having a band is like unless they have had one.

People will also always think the op they have had is the best, it maybe for them but not for everyone x

miserable · 27th February, 2012

Don't worry about it Mis...comes with the territory and largely born out of ignorance. Each to their own - only you know your journey - anyone else is just taking a wild guess

How are you doing?

**Mazza** · 27th February, 2012

Oh but im Maryann as in Mary and ann - I do get called Marianne though, amongst other things! x

miserable · 27th February, 2012

Same here.. mostly annmary

tranquil_butterfly · 29th February, 2012

Evening all. Hope everyone is well. This last fill is proving a real challenge. Eating three meals a day is difficult. As I am back to the hospital in 4 weeks I am going to keep going but there is no doubt about it - it is tight. I can eat some things some days and the next day it is a no no. I really cannot work out what is going on. I want variety in my food choices so I keep trying things. I so wish I could tolerate eggs and chicken but they just do not stay down and now I am getting the same issue with tuna. Luckily pink salmon was something I tried on the mushies stage and that is fine if I mash it well. I am losing inches which is good but getting some excess skin in places. Need to try and get back into exercise but my hernia is causing real discomfort.

Now the weather is picking up I am hoping I can get back to doing a bit of bike riding. I am going to give the bike the once over at the weekend and venture out. I also want to get the wii dusted down and into action. My youngest sister has been doing fantastically by changing her food choices and seriously getting into exercising every day so it is inspiring me to keep going. This is a long haul and it is about finding the motivation to keep going - not that the band would let me get back into bad food choices without dire consequences

.

Have a blessed evening all.
