A couple of days ago I rang our local medical centre and asked if there were any doctors there that could loosen the band for me and ..............heypresto! I went and saw him yesterday and asked him to remove 2mls cos it had been 7 weeks since I ate anything other than chips (crisps) chocolate and flavoured milk. Do you know how little you need to gain wieght. Well lets just say in 7 weeks I put on 1 kilo. The Dr was hesitant for me to dictate how much to take out and I must admit when I saw how much 2 mls was I know I got it wrong. I also have to say that within and hour i went to Mcdonalds and ate a big mac. AHHHHHHHHH but oh my it was delicious lol. I decided that yesterday would just be a free day and today I would eat to lose wieght which for me is always a high protein number so thats where I am at today. Right now i feel like if I ever taste anything sweet or chips again it will be a day way too soon. I def still have restriction but not like it should be, Not to worry I am just gonna enjoy the wee break before I freak out and go back to Keirith for another fill. Blog ya soon xx

Hello hello. As my sister has dutifully reminded me its been a long time since I last blogged. I cant believe its nearly hit the two month mark. Maybe its because weight loss wise I have come to a standstill with a capital S. Or maybe its because I still HATE exercising and haven't done any apart from ride my bike whilst getting the dogs to run beside me which makes me feel super duper unfit because although my dogs are themselves super unfit I am unfitter (if that's even a word).
I met with a lady that I have only just got to know yesterday to talk with her the life as a bander as she is thinking of having one. I could see the hopelessness in her face as she talked about her weight struggles and her hopes of winning the battle once and for all. It reminded me so much of me almost three years ago and how i remember so well what that felt like. I think in years to come we are going to be astounded we had such a barbaric way of helping someone to lose weight because I am sure with time we will develop some magic pill or potion to achieve permanent weight loss but until then I still see this surgery as such a God send to those of us who cannot achieve results any other way.
The band is really tight right now in fact I know its too tight because of what I can and cant fit down and its not doing me any favours as I can only eat liquids most of the time and for some reason I can eat battered fish however take the batter away and I have no chance of keeping even a mouthful down. Dam it is odd. So my diet consists of a lot of flavoured milks and battered fish. I have had a go at catching my dinner and managed to get a couple yesterday but oh my gosh you wouldn't believe how much I have been chewed up by sand flies which I have learnt don't bite you but scratch you then piss in the scratch!! Ah ha hmm mmm thats a pleasant thought isnt it lol. Well all I can say is they must have had really full bladders cos I have huge lumps on me. Nothing seems to kill the itch. So, the best place and cheapest place to get some fish from is Woollies I have decided. By the time you get to the fishing whole. Slap on copious amounts of block and shit to get the sand flies to stay away (obviously that didn't work anyway) and lose boot loads of hooks and tackle some fresh snapper from Woollies seems to be the go.
Until next time take care xx
