[sharon2014]

Sounds like you had a good weekend...except the vomiting!! That breakfast looks good, wondering when i can eat stuff like that again...

not sure what to have for dinner tonight! FAJITAS is what im craving but dont think that would agree with me yet!

enjoy rest of your day xx

Thanks bex. I just want to pay it forward. I know exactly how I felt going into this * I didn't like myself * I didn't look after myself * I felt hopeless * I felt suicidal * I was ashamed * I believed I would fail this and I wouldn't loose weight But I am where I am. I changed my mind set, I took every stall and changed my attitude. ( and trust we I've had 6 weeks of stall periods ) in the past Id binge on stalls now it's a positive, I buy something new when I'm 14 days into a stall. I've maintained. Y shouldn't I celebrate?!? But I'm still in my loss journey and then the hard work of becoming that size 8 girl forever. So today started great, I'm feeling better, hairdresser is coming to me all day to do my hair and my family's too. So I'll pop my new locks on here later... And the big news im 10st 10lbs! Whooooo feeling very small now, I know 10st 10 may seem heavy ESP when I started looking at the surgery forum on here and saw some ladies at 9st 7lbs but I'm five foot nine. My BMI today was 21!!!! That's the lowest I've ever had a BMI at ! I'm literally near the lowest I can be- never in a million years did I believe I could be that girl. All my Bras for now . They are strange I have a range or sizes but seems I'm a 34E or 36DD depends on the cut of bra but I look tiny chested they are so saggy. I'd love my boobs to be done but I don't think my OH would have it. After spending our savings on the band. Mind you. We got our savings back already .... Hummmmm ... Anyway so that's my news and feelings for today. I'm positive about everything ( bit concerned about how to stop loosing weight ) but other than that I'm good ;-) Happy rainy weds my beautful losers! ;-)

love this thank you.

Why don't u try fajita mix, with no wraps, just sour cream guacamole salsa with chicken grated cheese and the pepers onion mix and sauce but without the wraps??? Xxx

That might be an idea actually!! Thanks love!! I think il do that I'm sure I have all the stuff, if not il nip along to the shops! Maybe freeze some for another day as well! xx

 

[BandedHun]

Just thinking it will take the craving away , you can make it into small chunks so it's easier to swallow and soft ;-)... I always do that for fajitas anyway . Xxx

Ok so I made another roast today for tea. Didn't eat much though I've not felt great all day, just like my night out had caught up with me , my cold and not much sleep has really taken its toll. I've been cold and struggling with food.

So here's my dinner . But I didn't eat much of it. Think my bands pretty tight today . I just wrote today off and start again tomorrow. I'd like to loose 1lb this week. Making me 10:9 ... Not sure I will think 10:10 will be my stall for three weeks.

You're so close I was worried I'd missed it. ?

 

[kurstywursty]

Hi Mo...not caught up with your posts in ages x

Oh Banded. I totally get the overdoing it. Was on a bender day yesterday. Wine, Irish cream, curry (only a tiny bit).....had to leave the theatre auditorium for half an hour. Thought I was dying. Done liquids today as my band area is aching.

I went to my very first dietitian appointment who was horrified at the amount I am able to eat!!!!! I am booked in for the first fill appointment they have 26 November. She said that everything I am going to eat in the one meal HAS to fit into a muller light yoghurt pot. WTF!!!

Funny today is the first day in about 4 weeks I am not fighting the hunger. My band feels tender and tight

So will not be sticking to the muller light portion lol

 

[Bear]

The muller light gauge is a great one. I can't quite manage that much yet, am making my portions just a little smaller than that. But certainly long term I've got Miller light in my head.

 

[BandedHun]

Yep ... I have a cup ( as in measurement cup)y dinners all fit into that, that's why I have to put my pictures to show how small they are and then exactly what I eat, see this is where I struggle with conflicting information coz nutritionist say you need to eat more but rules stop you eating big portions.... Crazy ,,, so eating diet food low fat it's hard to hit 1200 kcal's .... I struggle hitting 1000 kcal's and MFP always has a go at me saying I don't eat enough, which is why I have my tea and two biscuits everyday ... It also means I'm not loosing out on "normal" life xxxx

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

I very rarely finish a side plate of food we were out in a restaurant yesterday I had 2 potato skins and felt like I couldn't move lol! Didn't eat again till gone 9 in the evening x

 

[BandedHun]

Well after the crappy weekends food junk rubbish weekend , I'm back to being super good today. Might have a liquid day today as I'm bit tight and throats still sore. Just thinking I might make a nice curried butternut squash soup. Yummm no calories and lots of flavour... Not sure.

Need to get my 1lb off this weeks aim. Making home made burgers tonight and chips for the family. But I don't fancy it. So think I'll have a light day. I need one after the weekend I've had. Far too much chocolate.

So there's not really much to say today so far. Weather is miserable nothing really to do as its raining so much. Off food shopping today actually to get lots of fresh fruit and veg and yoghurts xx

 

[bex.wils]

That sound lovely banded!! Sounds like you have plenty of determination to pick up from a cheeky weekend.
I had my last supper last night. First day today and LSD, I'm feeling satisfied and full, just preparing tomorrow's lunch and snacks for work x

 

[bex.wils]

Not feeling too great about things at the moment.
Recently broken up with my partner due to him not pulling his weight in life and making no real effort to find work etc while I worked 40 hours plus. I told him about my surgery today and he doesn't agree however said he would be supportive if I needed him at all.
Anyway we got into an argument and he just point blank said he diesbt agree and thinks I'm just being lazy coz I could get up and go for a run every night!! I'm bloody furious!
Has anybody else had any negativity when speaking about their procedures? X

 

[Xenia67]

Bex, my husband thinks that I am using this as a quick fix! I've told him many times I don't think of it as that, I know a lot of work is involved and that the band is a tool. So I'm making him come to my first consultation. I think because I have done so many diets in the past and failed that he sees it as another 'episode'. I fully understand how you feel.

 

[tweetybaby]

I had a time convincing my OH but he is supportive luckily and has funded half too. I wasn't convinced how others would take it so told noone. my BMI was 34 and i was 15 stone, Its not an easy choice, but a desperate one for me personally. It really give you a kick up the bum to stick to a diet. Initially it is a quick loss but then when you are in fill territory its hard, there are rules just like a diet.

He will be jealous, starting a new chapter in life, thin and attractive=new partner etc etc x this is for you

 

[bex.wils]

Thank u for all of your kind words.
He thinks because he lost a few stone I can just do the same
My bmi is 36 and I want to lose around 5 stone, I'm hoping this just changes my whole life, I am well aware I have to use this as a tool, it will help my hunger, appetite and control I cannot wait x

Ahhh bex. So sorry. It's a really hard time ESP with OH not being supportive. Everything you have stated trust me I've been there. I carried my OH for 5 years of him not wanting to work, feeling down, constant rowing, debts etc. But I wasn't as brave as you to walk away. I don't regret it now I just funded and pushed him into the career he's in now and helped him believe in himself. ( I sometimes feel it's so much easier to help others believe in themselves than you actually believing in yourself - for me anyway ) but if it feels right ( although hurting) it probably is right. My OH hasn't been supportive but he sees why now , he admits it's jealousy , but he doesn't realise how hard it is somedays when you just want the band taken out coz you wanna scoff like everyone else without feeling sick or so full. The bands not a lazy option by half. It's possibly the harder one to get right , but you only have 5 stone to loose so you can achieve that with this tool. You can and will ;-)


Hope your ok today sweets . Keep strong and keep working that pre op - YOU ARE WORTH IT!!! Xxx
