I know we must pencil something in before xmas!! im away alot of November on holiday but i will go through my weekends off and we can sort something, i will bring husband and we can make a weekend of it so its not such a long trip! He can shop whilst we meet up!

I'm at a wedding on 1st November and away to the canaries on the 18th December but other than that nothing would get in the way of a meet xxx

Glasgow has good shopping

 

[Kar8858]

Magic we will arrange something...hows it going with your fill? Is there any difference?

 

[kurstywursty]

Me and
Technology !!!

Went to have my weigh in at tesco. Put on over 2lb. On my scales lost 3 1/3lb !!!!

Think the tesco scales are more like they should be now only a few lbs different from my own. Last week it was over half a stone of a difference

So girls, regardless of which scales I am using I am under 13 stone. I am 12 stone 13 and a half pounds on my scales at home. I started at 15.5 1/2

No longer a teen! This last 5lb have been a long hard slog. Taken me since 12 September to get them off. That almost 4 weeks. Which is not how I want to loss this weight. When you read folks dropping a stone a month you want that kind of result too. I would settle for 10lb a month but not the five I have lost. Need to consider my tactics lol

Only 1lb to go till my total weight loss is 2.5 stone yay!
See the dietitian for the very first time on Friday so perhaps she can give me a steer

 

[sharon2014]

Kirsty your doing great, I think our body go through so much changes, but the dietician will hep you out!

I'm filled to 4ml so hoping for some good restriction!
Xx

 

[BandedHun]

Your doing great Kirsty.
We have all had our periods of stall. I usually over 5-6 weeks get a massive loss over first two weeks after a fill then I stall for like 3 weeks at a time, I like you feel disheartened but I figured, if it's staying that weight then that should be celebrated

Keep going you got forever in front of you to enjoy.

Keep smiling and well done xxx

Kirsty your doing wonderful.... try and forget how everyone else is doing, our bodys are all different.... i was dropping a stone a month but hey i had alot more to lose than you LOL it started at over 20 stone........... now i'm closer to your weigh its a painstaking 5-6 a month... but heck i think thats still brilliant. Recommended is 1-2 a week. we have got the long game to play learning what and what not to eat to maintain our new healthy lifestyles as not to go back to where we started........ does it really matter how quick it comes off as long as its coming off??? i have seen so many banders come and go on here even someone at my hospital who's had band 5 years and not lost a bean so celebrate indeed. A band takes utter determination, desire and drive. There are easier options for sure but this is for life now, not another quick fix diet. I guess were used to racing down the scales then sitting back, relaxing and enjoying putting it all back on again at leisure lol so chin up and see how far you've come already wd hunni x x x x One you hit that sweetspot you'll be zooming again

 

[kurstywursty]

Oh guys thanks. Your right. If it's coming off that's a celebration and not going to pile back on. I just had set myself goals based on others and am not hitting them. But as Chrystal has pointed out I did not have as much to loose as some others

Sharon. Was your fill straight forward? Did you freak out a bit when they tipped you upright lol...I did

 

[Bear]

Kirsty, although it seems you're frustrated with your loss, you do seem to have things really sorted in your head. (If that makes sense). You come across as very level headed and as Crystal says, try not to compare - you're doing great.

 

[sharon2014]

Hi Kirsty, they had but trouble looking for it and missed it first time but got it the 2nd ok! Oh it was very strange, and they done it twice lol xx

 

[Kar8858]

Well done...losing is losing...maybe you have a magnetic field that effects these scales!! Ive slowed down to be at a lower weight its normal, i will be happy with a pound a week now ..finger crossed.

 

[kurstywursty]

Ha ha karina, it's maybe those metal clips they left inside me lol

 

[alfiemoomin]

Hey lovely lot I am going to weigh once a week and given how hard it was for me pre op to lose 2 lbs I'd be happy. ...i used to diet for weeks to 2 lbs off probably why after 8 weeks I'd give up x keep going x

 

[Xenia67]

Good for you Kirsty, you are doing well to have lost as much as you have so far I would be over the moon, I think you weight loss is excellent.

 

[kurstywursty]

Thank you for those words of wisdom and support you lovely ladies xxxx

 

[tweetybaby]

Woohoo Kirsty. Cant wait to see that magic number sometime x

 

[kurstywursty]

Tweety you can't be too far off. We were round about the same weight x

 

[sharon2014]

Hey Kirsty,

How you getting on xx

 

[kurstywursty]

Hey Sharon...just plodding on

Looking forward to serving the dietitian tomorrow

Going to book another fill when I'm in

How are you with more restriction?
