I had my 1st flight since my surgery on monday, and for the 1st time in I dont know how long I didnt need a belt extention...it was a sqeeze but I done it!!!
I felt 'normal' again and I loved it!!!!

at last I feel the restriction everyone talks about, iv lost another 2lb today, thats 8lb in 6days :-)
but I do feel its too tight, im struggling to get even fluids down so im a bit headachey with de-hydration, i'l keep going as I know it loosens with me after a few weeks, today im down to 20'2lb, no more messing about, Im on my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant wait till im in my teens

Well I thankfully had another fill tonight, 2cc's put in... man its tight!!!
but iv felt no restriction for ages.... iv got a wedding in 4 weeks to go to so im hoping I get another stone off!

at last the scales are moving, I had messed about while my daughter was on holiday, I was so bored at home and lost without her, didnt have meals, just ate sweets!!!! madness!
I done overtime at work to pass my time (and pay my op!) the scales kept moving up and up!
but thats me, motivated and butt kicked well and truely!!!
Iv lost about 8lb this week, so lost all I gained and another 2lb... so reality check done and ready to get going!!!!!

well iv done a bit of messing about,I had another fill 1 week ago, got 1cc put in , not feeling any less hungry.
Iv been socialising, feeling fantastic with my change in shape but breaking every rule... I have gained 6lb during this phase , what a waste of time! so today I weighed myself and at last its off!!!!!!!
So kicked my own ass and hopefully im on track again.

Iv to have a colonoscopy tommorrow  :-(
Right now im trying to take this vile drink YUKKKK
At least it is taking  my mind off food!
Iv to have nothing to eat from 1pm today till tommorrow night when I get home, well this is 1 way to lose weight lol

Im over 5wks post op now, love my band but still struggling to take solids... I had my 1st fill of 3cc 2wks ago...
I am fine eating, even though I still eat too fast, that takes a bit of getting used to slowing down and chewing enough. So I teand to live on mushy stuff, eggs or fish. But I want to keep my carbs lower than I am,  last night I had chicken salad but had to liquidise the chicken, fine if im at home but not so practical if im out :-)
But I feel living on mashed up veggies and cereal is slowing my loss down. My dietician said I may need an unfill which I really dont want so I think i'l go back to liquids for a kick start..but on the good side iv lost 30lb so far..

I had my 1st fill tonight, got 3cc's
I went to see my Dr regarding the swelling at my side, turns out its part of the tubeing...
My bleeding last week he feels is nothing to do with the band and wants it investigated, so im waiting on an appointment for that now...
I tried to take some soup tonight but I cant get it down, so looks like slimfast for a while lol
But im sooo happy with my band, 2 stone down and really motivated!!!

Well I dont know whats happening to me, Im hungry all the time, I pray iv not streched my pouch coz I feel no restriction anymore... im weak, im passing blood every time I go to the toilet, Im so desperate to get my 1st fill to see if my motivation comes back....

 WELL IM DISAPPOINTED TO ADD THIS POST, BUT IF IM GONA TAKE PRAISE, I NEED TO TAKE THE BLOWS AS WELL....
IV BEEN ON HOLIDAY AND OUT SOCIALISING, GREAT, WELL NO NOT GREAT, I WENT BACK TO WORK TODAY AND WEIGHED MYSELF... IV GAINED 5.5lbs OVER 3DAYS!!!!
NO POINT CRYING ABOUT IT, ITS HAPPENED, IV DEALT WITH IT AND BACK ON THE WAGON.....
I HAD BEEN DRINKING WINE!!!! SO IT JUST LETS ME SEE HOW QUICK IT GOES ON ME, SO LIKE I SAY ITS PAST, WENT BACK ON MAINLY LIQUIDS TODAY, I WAS STARVING, BUT I AINT GOING THROUGH THIS TO GAIN BY DRINKING BOOZE... I USED TO ENJOY A GLASS OF WINE OR 2 WITH MY MEAL AT NIGHT, AND IV TRUELY NEVER MISSED IT UNTIL THE WEEKEND WHEN I HAD FUNCTIONS TO GO TO ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITH PEOPLE I DID NOT WANT TO KNOW OF THE SURGERY... NO EXCUSE THOUGH...  SO TONIGHT IM GLAD TO SAY IM BACK ON WATER AND MUSHIES....
TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY.....
