Hi there…

See I told you I would start posting on a regular basis!

I went to the hairdresser today. Paul (the best hair dresser in the world - 96 degrees in the Sun) decided that if i have lost a few kilos i should lose a few inches…

So I got a fringe and RockStar bangs. And I look f*cking hot~!

Haven’t checked my weight.. don’t have to, every look i recieve from tradesmen is enough.

MWAH

OK so liquid diet is starting to get to me a little. But luckily enough I am still quiet tired and every time I get hungry I find it easy to go to sleep.

I am going to see the dietitan for the first time tomorrow. She will tell me about what I get to eat when I move to mushy food on day fourteen. I am so excited for day fourteen.
I am so excited about mushy food. I just miss hot food. I tried to have some soup, but for some reason I started to think it looked like vomit and I couldn’t even look at it.

So it’s back to ice creams and water.

It’s amazing how hard it is to eat a whole ice cream. I am beginning to wonder how I will ever get a whole entrée down.

Well I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. I haven’t seen my hairdresser in three months. So lets see how he reacts.

BIGGER NEWS: I went to Kmart yesterday to buy some pants (yes all of mine fall down) and I went to the NORMAL GILRS department… AND I Purchased a pair of size 16 JEANS… as mentioned before, jeans are a true test!

AND I went to the doctors and weighed myself.

FREAKIN’ A!

I know it’s has been two weeks since I have posted and I promise that after the next week you will be seeing updates everyday.

But I have spent the last two weeks, eating the right foods… OK OK OK I have had some fun size packets of chips. And some chocolate. But moderation is the key.

I mean the thing I am starting to realise that the LapBand™ has helped me lose weight and will continue helping me lose weight. But if I don’t eat the right foods and exercise I will just be thinner and unhealthy. The boast you feel from 3 vegetables is more than an energy drink. It lasts longer. And it does good.

I am really into roast beef at the moment. It’s tender enough for me to get down. The accompanying gravy wasn’t great for me but a treat isn’t the end of the world…right?

I have been taking dog on a walk almost everyday. Which has been great. He has been ultra happy and I have realised that if I take the pressure off exercising it’s really quite fun.

Ok so I have a deadline for my thesis (oh yes I am doing my Masters) this week so I need to work on that for a bit.

WEIGHT UPDATE NEXT WEEK!!! Lets see how far healthy eating and exercise gets me?

So I went to doctors today.

How on earth does one casually mention that they have constipation? My body is also retaining liquid.

So while I have lost a couple of inches around my tummy the scales told a different story.

I haven’t budged a bit.

It’s time to eat some fibre! Things that come from a can are not a diet. Fruit, vegies, protein and NO CHOCOLATE are a diet! Well a way of living.

On the brighter side… I went to DFO today and went and brought a pair of size 18 jeans. So it’s official (and everybody knows jeans are the test – not much give there) I am down from a SIZE 22-24 to an 18!!!!!

I am still having problems with my back. The doctors at the bariatric centre don’t think that the back pain has anything to do with my band.

My GP doesn’t think it has anything to do with my band either, just one of those things I guess.

My GP suggested rubbing the muscle pain stuff, which works but only temporarily.

I am still officially losing weight, but without eating properly I am not feeling great. I am lazy and can’t exercise because my back hurts. Which means that I am not losing weight the way I want to.

I had really hit a low with the weight issue. I need to be exercising but the back pain is terrible.

It comes on at about 2pm everyday. Since I am not a morning person, I don’t exercise much in the morning. So by 2pm I am in pain and not even thinking of talking a walk.

The other side of the back issue is that I don’t feel like putting a lot of effort into cooking. So I have been living on the 8-year-old kid diet. Party pies, spaghetti etc

Not good.

Got more liquid put in my band today. (See below for more exciting news)

I had food poising the last few days so I haven’t really been in the mood for anything.

The liquid filling was not at all painful this time.
The back pain also hasn’t gone away. The doctor (the GP at the bariatric centre) suggested that it was muscular pain. But it had started to feel like its inside me…

I have booked in to see my normal GP tomorrow.

So with the big 19 kg news rocking my boat yesterday I didn’t get much done.

Today was the same storey. I woke up with a sore passage running from where the liquid was put in (left of my belly button) up through up into my armpit. And because of the way I have been sitting or something, my back has also started the ache, just below my bra strap on my left.

I assume that having the first lot of liquid put into the band aggravates the scare tissue?

I have eaten a little today. But I am starting to get in the habit of eating late a night, which isn’t good for me. I mean it’s not that bad because I wake up late… so when I eat late at night I am really eating ‘dinner’. Nut I should be mindfully eating 3 meals a day, not two and some snacking later.

Today I went to see Mr. Gary Crosthwaite and I weighted myself… UNREAL!!! (See below).

I got the liquid put in my band for the first time and it’s back to liquid for a day… yuck.

It didn’t hurt; mum said the needle was big tho.
