Day 14- post op.
Can't actually believe that I've got this far. Was back to work last night. Luckily got let home at 5 to catch the first train back as I struggled big time by 4am ... Then cycled home and was snug in my bed by 7am. Thank god. Haven't slept well today at all. Woke at 10-11-1- and have up and got up at 1-20!!! Leave for work again at 4:45.
So 14 days since u when alone and got the band. I'm a tad shocked really as the weight (since chocolate gate) hasn't come off despite eating NEXT TO NOTHING... When I think before I'd consume so much food and now , like a yoghurt a small ready meal or something per day, barely touching the sides on calories and I'm not loosing anything. Then I think to myself well ... You have dropped a lot quickly. So not to be too disheartened with it all. Fill comes on the 6th may and I can't wait really. I want to start getting into it. All this blahhh foods mushy liquids... Can't be good as your not actively choosing the healthy options.... Like fruit and veg as it's hard to consume them and mushy bananas are not exactly the best of fruits.... How I long for my watermelon and pineapple on a warm spring day!
So I cycled yesterday! Most Excercise I've done since "run to the beat" half marathon in sept 2013... Yes I've been lazy moo since transferring jobs and Xmas and the surgery BUT yesterday and today was a fresh start! I restited all the sweets , cakes, biscuits and takeaways my colleagues all brought in to celebrate my return... And are the most YUMMY yoghurt (113kcal) made by Danone. It was a thick 0% mix pot yoghurt with passion fruit exact that you mixed up into the thickness of the yoghurt! Wow! And at 3 for £2 .... What a lovely meal at 2am! ( gosh nights messes me up ) but my BUTT from cycling is in tatters! Jeez whizz how thee tour de France dudes do it I have no idea. All I can say is " John Wayne" and gotta do it all again for this 12 hour shift , and the bloody London marathon is tomorrow so it's going to be super busy and hard to get home! ?
So that's today's update. Ill pop a two week post op scar photo on I think when I get ready for work... Hope you all have a lovely weekend xxx

Foods been good today . I'm missing bring able to get a boots meal for ease at work but all in good time right?
Well good luck to the London marathon runners, supporters and relatives. Hope it's a safe , great event .... And no! I won't be watching it but I'll be thinking in my dreams of them

Surgeon said I'd be able to start jogging again at 4 weeks . Had no choice with the cycling have to get myself to the station somehow and I already have to leave early to get in so walking would add even more time and less rest. OH is taking and collecting me tonight though ( from station ) as im exhausted, not sleeping and being last night shift I could really do with just being a little more awake .....

I was jogging at 4 weeks, the minute I got the go-ahead the dusty trainers were on. Had no problems with it. It took my mind off the pain I was in! I haven't been running since the 24th January, soooo hoping I will finally get the go-ahead from my surgeon next week. It should have been 4 weeks for that as well.
As I lost my lard my speed and stamina increased, bonus all round

Day 15- post op....
Nights have killed me, first time back at work after 12 weeks off and going back to 12 hours nights really has taken it's toll. I'm tearful. Tired and in the food head now. This is what happens to me when I'm tired or feeling down - so it's just trying to combat that.
My foods not great last night - I struggle massively. The need to pick in the wee hours whilst working and struggling to keep the eyes open is so hard. I underestimated how much I'd struggle going back. Got home at and was asleep by 9:30 and woke at 1:30 ... 4 hours! And haven't been back to sleep yet... Nightmare. My boss called and said to come in later tonight so just do 10 hours.
Mikado sticks! 4 @ 11kcal per one ... Ok could have been worse but I still didn't need them and it's broken my sober days... Darn!
So that's me. Tad upset today. Disappointed in myself and it know it's through exhaustion. I just don't want to feel depressed again. I'm just being hard on myself again for struggling to cope.
I so desperately want to be thin. I still can't see myself ever getting there. My work schedule is so hard graft that on the 50 hour working week with another 20 hours travel I'm shattered. I can't imagine myself having the time to train.
On a brighter note get the keys to my new home on 22 April. Finally my very own house. After 8 years. It's a massive downsize to where I'm living, but it's mine. So I guess still lots going in till I'm going to settle into a new routine and get the weight loss in with it. So moving 22nd, ( start nights again!) and then fill on 6th may!!! Yaye! I need it, I need to feel the restriction ...
There we go. Anyway I gotta go get ready for work and will catch up soon
Enjoy the beautiful sunny Sunday evening people xx

Thanks darlin... I'll have a look,
I've let myself down I think. I underestimated the head strength and didn't plan for work at all. I need to make fresh meals I think, one it's cheaper and two is never eat a microwaveable meal when dieting in the past and just coz I have a band no way I should I be eating this rubbish.
I'm on the train so I'll open the link and wrote the foods out, cheers for that yvesse. Hope your weeks been good? Xx
