No they don't do Slimmer of the Week any more. I felt like I was the winner tho xx
 
So, had a full day of socialising today. Met my old friend in Costa this morning for coffee. She had cake and coffee but I resisted and had a skinny latte.
Then I went Meadowhall to meet a friend for lunch. She had buritos with chips etc and I had a Crayfish salad which was soooo tasty.
Didn't even feel I was missing out, so pleased with myself for resisting and feel so happy with myself tonight for not spoiling my weight loss this week.
Hope everyones also having a good week xx
 
Not bad thank you. The weight is coming off, I've lost over 5 stone now, just 21 pounds to target. My target is a bit high though so I'll see if i want to loose any more when I get there. Had a fill today. I'm up to 8ml now

Wow you have done so well. My journey is slower than that as stayed static for ages and just couldn't get my head round things at all. Fell much better now I've joined WeightWatchers and getting weighed weekly.
I'm pleased to see that you have 8ml in your band as I have 7 and am booked in for my next fill in 2 weeks. I was worried something was wrong with me needing 7ml in.
Since having 7ml in, I have to eat much more slowly and certain foods I need to be very careful with. Didn't feel any of this up to having my last fill tho. How long is it since you had your band? and how long have you had 8ml in, are you happy at 8?
 
My op was jan 16, up till today i had 7.6ml in (last fill may 15) i had good restriction after the last fill but its wore off. The last month has been tough & my loss has slowed a bit. Some days i feel like i can eat everything & anything although i dont! Hoping this fill is it! I only ever have problems if i eat too quick when I'm really hungry & I'm learning not too! I can still eat anything if i chew well.
I still think that about 80% of my loss is down to will power / sticking to the rules. The band does help a lot in so far as its a constant reminder that I'm on this weight loss journey but it doesn't physically help as much as I thought it would. Head hunger is still a real issue & it can be hard to stop myself from turning to old bad habits!

That's exactly how I've been. I've also been able to eat anything up to now. The dietician said I need another fill as I'm still getting hungry a couple of hours after meals.
You are so right about willpower. My downfall has always been crisps and nibbly food. Crisps go down very well with a band and like you, I have to get my head around the head hunger. Which at the moment I have done. Since my last fill I have to eat much slower and also I'm getting full quickly so my portions are very small.
I'm looking forward to my next fill on the 12th August and with being more strict with my eating, I hope to see the weight finally shifting.
Be careful on your fluids and sloppies these next couple of days.
xx
 
I am! Its 3 days of liquids & 3 days of soft. I had a chicken soup defrosted out the freezer with chicken bits in, very carefully ate around & passed a bowl of chicken chunks to my oh when I'd had the soup! I've got a family meal out on Saturday, i hope they have something i can eat!
 
So, been to Weightwatchers tonight. Another 2lb off so that's 8lb in 3 weeks.

Been to Sheffield this afternoon for a fill too. Had 0.25ml in which takes me to 7.25ml. On liquids for 1 day then sloppy 1 day. Will be back eating crunchy by Thursday evening. Looking forward to seeing what restriction I will have.

Well, I looked a complete idiot in Sheffield earlier......I am so clumsy and trip up badly almost every time I walk anywhere.
Walking through Sheffield with my two children, I stumbled and nearly fell over, then went in to Costa for a post fill coffee to make sure it would go down properly. Medium skinny latte for me.
Carried it over to my table went to lift it off the tray and it slipped straight off that stupid white plate thing they put it on.
It was as if it was in slow motion, over it went....everywhere. All over the table, dripping onto the floor and all over me, I was wet through from the waist down. Both kids were horrified and sooo embarrassed.
I had some thin material shorts on which then went see through. Tried to dry my shorts under the hand dryer in the toilet but they went stiff and coffee stained. Then had to walk all the way back to the car with people giving me very strange looks.
I think I'm not fit to be seen in public.
I wonder if I will become more stable on my feet once I'm at goal weight?

Hope everyone's having a good week. xx
