My journey starts here..

[Banderbird]

I'm OK lovely.

I'm eating a whole load of crap this week though, because I'd prepared for liquids and mush so had nothing but soup in the house. I'm not eating that when I don't have to!

Cannot wait for Monday.

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

Lol one more day of liquids for me then onto purée! X

 

[Val]

Oh I only did yesterday on liquids..today I have had soup for lunch but otherwise I has sloppy foods...I can feel a big difference can you Kirstie...good luck Monday BB xxxx

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

I've not been too hungry but have succumb to having a Dairylea strip cheese as I'm feeling it now! I've got a quorn lasagne in the fridge for tomorrow sooooo looking forward to that!

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

They told me because it's our first fill to go right back 2 days liquid 2 purée 2 soft then back to normal I have 4ml in now x

 

[Val]

Hi BB..hope your Ok/...just weighed in and I have lost 3 pounds since my fill the other day !!!!!

 

[Banderbird]

^ many congrats hun!

Cannot wait for this fill. I want this band to get off its arse and do some work

 

[Banderbird]

Third fill all done with no probs. Weight loss has stalled but that's ok, I'm hoping to see a difference going forward.

She only put in 0.5ml, so that takes me to 6.3. I don't think I'm too far off the right restriction though, so fingers crossed it hits the spot.

Liquids for one day and mush for one day - I bought too much soup!!

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

Haha lol! You'll have cupboards full of soup forever! Glad it all went well x x x

 

[sarahrob]

Glad it went well hun

 

[Banderbird]

Everything is OK after my fill and I'm back to 'normal' food, although definitely less of it now.

Bread has become a real problem, think it may have to remain off the menu.

The good news is, my clothes are finally starting to feel a little looser.

Onwards and downwards after the fill, fingers crossed.

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

Here's hopin for you Hun! It's not such a bad thing ditchin the bread anyway! X

 

[Banderbird]

Band is still very tight after my fill, and hunger is massively reduced, which is great!

However, I'm struggling to eat most things, which isn't so great.

Fancied a treat tonight, so had a pizza. Well, two tiny slices of one to be precise. I can't manage any more and the rest is cold! Oh well.

There is no way I could manage breakfast so I'm continuing with Complan shakes (which I love!).

The dietician called earlier in the week and said if I continue to struggle I may need a defill, but we shall see.

I think if it just settles a tiny bit, I'll be fine.

Like Chappers, alcohol is my issue, I think the weight would be falling off me if I didn't love wine so much!

I'm learning to live with the band, and getting used to loads of chewing and waiting (although some of the time its 20/20/5 minutes lol). Dinner out at this stage would be a nightmare!

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

I'll Jon you and chappers on the wine front lol! I'm trying really hard to have a wine free weekend! Gutted about the food but a positive your staying so full! Maybe you just need a bit longer for your band to settle! I guess so long as your not being sick and your getting some nutrients hopefully you'll be ok!
Fingers crossed for you x x

 

[Banderbird]

Thanks hun, yes I don't think I'm wasting away. I kind of like it that I feel the band working though, this is what I paid for!

No reflux or sickness, just a lot of PBing/sliming lately.

Fingers crossed it settles, and congrats on doing so well WLD xx

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

Thank you and the same to you Hun here's to fun on the way down to goal x x

 

[Banderbird]

Under 200lbs this morning - 1st 8 pounds gone.

Quite pleased with that. Hopefully I'll start recording some decent losses now.

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

Aww wicked that's brilliant! I think you and I weigh a similar weight now! X

 

[sarahrob]

Yay, well done BB!

 

[Banderbird]

Went out for dinner with friends tonight, at a Raymond Blanc restaurant. Lovely ... except I had to go and be sick twice

Paid a lot of money to eat a quarter of a burger, nothing else.

Gave half of it to someone else and barely ate the rest. Someone else ate all the chips.

Priciest quarter burger I've ever eaten, LOL.

Meh.
