Sharon. I ended seeing the delectable Mr Galloway....be still my beating heart!!
The nurse couldn't get the needle into my port. The policy is that after two tries, they get a colleague to try then get the consultant. She went away for her colleague, but came back with Mr Galloway. Who got it in first time
I had another 1ml in. That is now 8.5ml in my 14 ml band
So had soup tonight, had a ufit earlier and feeling not bad restriction wise....so we will see
Thinking of you

Feeling pretty restricted
Only had three hours sleep last night and had to be at my desk for 7.30 in Glasgow today.. Fell asleep during a meeting. Hope no one noticed. Still on liquids today. Poor choices. Chocolate melted on my tongue, Heinz tomato soup etc. Fish cakes for tea and more chocolate lol. Btw. Tesco finest fish cake,s with cheddar are to die for...bit heavy on the cals at nearly 300 each. But gorgeous. Very rare I buy processed food, shouldn't have gone near them as had breadcrumbs...not good at all for the celiac lol. I'm generally very good on my wheat and gluten free diet, but god it's hard sometimes and I'm only human
Actually I'm not even feeling too guilty about it...think body trying to recoup from the starvation of yesterday day and trying to grab energy due to tiredness
I have not actually had sugar cravings like this since my op
But tired though I was, when I got off the train, I made myself drive to tesco. Stocked up on my smoked mackerel, salad and apples for tomorrow. Lindsay is going to the next town, where Sharon lives. To my favourite fish shop to get me fresh scallops for tea tomorrow
All set to be back on track girls
Nite nite girls. I'm In bed absoloutely shattered. Liquids only yesterday, low cal intake, no sleep...feel like I Did two weeks post op lol xx

Glad the restrictions there love! I only managed around 4 mouthfuls of stir fry! I was but heavy so think that's why! Managed light mini custard pot for snack and 1/2 banana breakfast and ufit for lunch! No real hunger!!
You would love the gluten free M&S fish cakes I had on Sunday...only managed almost 1 but even my dad wants to travel back to get more! M
Saw Tesco with lot of reductions on fish but defo better fresh from the shop!!
Think having little mince and potato tomorrow!
I prob walked past u in tesco I was wandering around 6.45!!
aimlessly buying chocolate to send to my friend in Florida!! I felt bit tired on liquids as well!!! Xx
Have good night xxx

Oh meant to say. Last night the nurse was delighted with my weight loss. When mr Galloway came in to try to find my port she told him I had lost a phenominal amount of weight and that when she called me through she thought there was a mistake and I couldn't be a WLS patient
So maybe the patients in Glasgow dont do as well as you guys on this forum do. Because I compare myself to the folks that loose a stone a month, month after month and think I'm Not doing so great
When mr Galloway came in and saw my weight loss, he asked if I really felt I needed or wanted a fill ????
I was in work in the office today for a couple of staff meetings. I normally work from home. A couple of people had not seen me since my surgery. One lady told me she was mesmerised, that she couldn't take her eyes off me, that I was half the person I had been previously lol!!!
Another girl who struggles with her weight also commented. She and I have shared our weight issues and struggles in the past. I felt it would have been really deceitful and low to just let her think I had been doing it without help while she continues to struggle. So I shared my band with her!!! I trust her completely a don't don't think she would say to anyone. S he was a bit emotional and told me how happy she was for me and that it was not just the weight that was different but my expression too. We talked about how I don't wake up feeling like a failure every day and how exhausting that was
So you never know, perhaps another weight loss candidate in the future..
I want to shout it from the rooftops
I want everyone who needs this help to get it lol

Kirsty ...we are weight loss big hitters on here! None of this a pound a month! Hell no, one a week or you can ship out!!
I bet there is something to it though that people on here support each other, you dont want to let yourself or anyone else on here down..i know i would be gutted if I didnt lose the weight and maintain it.
I do still wonder what happened to some people in here, like irish lady, she had her op the same day as me then disappeared.
I love catching up each day with how everyone is doing.

WTG Kirsty its great when you can look back at the whole rather than the weekly ups and downs.... Like Kar says remember that wonderful moment.... it will carry you thru the bad ones. A stone a month is amazing .............. an yes we are super losers on here.... when i go hospital its certainly not like it is on here..... One lady i met had her band 5 years and hadn't lost ................well she did but then gained it all and was back at square one LOL so be very proud MRS your one of the super's x x x x

Aw Chrystal I have been hiding away from my wall for the past two days as I had a 4.5lb gain
But great with food over the past two days. So hopefully it's just fluid retention due to a wee chocolate fest - Lindsay opened a tub of roses meant for a pressie. I just could not resist them
We have had a serious talk about him not making things easy for me and he has agreed to stop bringing crap into the house in bulk. If he wants something sweet with his morning coffee he will pick up a kit kat 4 finger, and not a strip of 6, likewise with the twix multi packs and the packs of scones. The worst was when he brought in the two fresh cream shoe pastry cakes. My all time favourite, which I should never eat anyway because of my celiac! He said I bought you one of these, I know they are your favourite!!!!! I mean, seriously!!!!
Today, I was doing some bargaining again with the big guy upstairs ( I'm an agnostic too lol). I went to the gym. I can't run for peanuts, but I said. If I can find the physical stamina to run on this treadmill for five minutes, I can find the mental stamina to crack this bloody food addiction!! With that in mind, I done two five minutes stints at 4.7 miles an hour. 5 mins has never dragged out so long ;-)
I also used to swim when I was younger, seriously speed swim a mile or two at a time. I have been back in the pool for a good few weeks now and last week worked up to half a mile. So just to really seal that deal with the big guy, I said, right God, if I can manage a mile in this pool today, we can't go back on this deal. So I slogged it out and did manage that mile. Which is 64 lengths of a half size Olympic pool. I had to swim continuously for an hour and 10 mins. Then I done an aqua fit class lol
I had also walked the dogs for 40 mins before I headed to the Gym
I don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone out there reading my diary about bargaining with a God who I don't believe in. But being in overeaters anonymous for years taught me that sometimes you have to rely on a higher power than yourself...I don't know if I actually believed that either. But I am struggling so much right now that I am willing to give anything a try....I could try just stop binging on crap!!! Lol!
I find that exercise and good food days go hand in hand...but it's getting harder, I'm nearly 55
Tomorrow I am going to walk the dogs with a group of dog walkers I share a forum with. On Sunday I am hiking 12 miles with my friend, who has completed the West Highland Way. I would rather be hill climbing to be honest but have no one to go with at present. As long as I am outdoors I do not really mind
But, yes, if I look back, I have done well. But November was a struggle where I have had to loss 8lb I have gained here and there this month. But at least I have managed to loss the gain and will come in with a couple of lbs loss over all in the month.
Onwards and downwards for December for us all girls xxxx

Elaine. My fill has defo given me a bit of restriction this time. I can still eat slider foods no problem, in large amounts too. But I can feel the difference. I think another ml might be perfect.

Well girlies
Did not weigh on Thursday due to my fright on the scales. But my exercise has paid off lol
Check this out..... 2.2lb loss since last Thursday. Yay. Got that gain off plus some
And 11st 13.7 lbs
Though I won't consider my self under 12 stone till I am that on my home scales as that's where my weight loss started. Today I was 12.1 on home scales
But..... Still means I have come out of the 15s, 14s, 13s, and 12s on the tesco scales
And... Bought a pair of size 14 jeans today. I'm now getting jeans that are not flapping round my skinny thighs. As I'm still an egg on legs
Happy bunny today
