It's Finally Moving

Finally.....

Finally the weight is moving..... I can't believe it has taken this long to start to get the results I was expecting. I know I had lost some weight, and I was happy with ANY that I lost but I had 2 months there that I had no results at all.

I am now down to 101.4kg.... that is a weight loss of 14.4kg and half of that has been in the last 4-5weeks, I am stoked. My work clothes are getting really loose, my bras are seriously useless they are that loose and even my shoes are loose (go figure).

I'm Happy ... Happy ... Happy ...!!!
I am still pissed off with the inconsistency of the band (aka Freddy) and it's effect on my eating patterns. I either have GOOD days or BAD days, nothing in between. I am either eating and enjoying my soup, crackers, mince meals, porridge and what not..... or chucking every fucking thing down the shitter ...... whats with that. One day I feel like I have perfect restriction, the next is like my friggin stomach is zip-tied closed.
I had my first heartburn session (since banding) yesterday, I got up and felt like I could stomach some porridge, so cooked some up. Okay I correct myself here. I cooked a tiny piddly arsed amount of porridge up and sprinkled with brown sugar and proceeded to eat ...s l o w l y. Now a few weeks ago I ran out of brown sugar and couldn't buy any at Coles so started using a squirt of maple syrup instead. Oh My F God it tastes like heaven. Anyways found the sugar a few weeks later (but could only buy brand name not el-cheapo version) but still used the maple syrup till I ran out a few days ago, hence used said brown sugar. The CSR brand must be so much stronger that the no name because I had the worst heartburn ever....EVER (even counting pregnancy heartburn).
So Surprisingly enough I chucked (it's like a daily ritual these days) and the acid in my throat was horrendous. 2x Zantac and a Losec later (thank fuck I work in a chemist) It was still giving me curry. I was right as rain a few hours later, but god it was awful. Whilst it was burning I actually rang Dr Fill and made an appointment to have some fill taken out, 24 hrs later I have changed my mind....AGAIN.... I am going to stick it out and if the heartburn happens again I will have some out... if not, the weight loss stays
God this is hard, at least with Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig you could have the day off. Who said this was the cheaters version....LIARS !!!!!!!

Nice one Tarn... finally that weight is getting the heave-ho (no pun intended.) I went back to the doctor on the 3 September and got another lmL in Sven (that's my Freddy 'çause he is after all a Swedish Lapband). Sven now has 6.5mL and yes apparently like all men size does matter and in 10 days I have lost 3 kg. Some days /Sven is a hard task master and I feel that he has bought along an elephant to sit on my chest. I don't eat fast...no not me?? Have had the odd chuckle too but am not lined up for another fill till 3 December. Hope I can shift the weight between then. I'm ambitious and want to lose 21kgs before Xmas. That way I will be under 100 kg. God your close to that now... biatch wish it was me.LOL

Hi Tarn,
Doing the Happy Dance for you!!!!

My loss has slowed right down - not happy, but have kind of been expecting it to come.
Was supposed to have another fill today but after a long chat with my Dr we decided to stick with what i have for a while, as still have fairly tight restriction and plenty of room to improve on the the food i'm eating (oops!) darn those fundraising freddo frogs.
So I will be a good girl, and if I want a fill in a few weeks will get it then.
Just don't want ot be too tight to eat anything like I was a few weeks ago.

Happy happy dance for you again!!!
Hugs
Beth
