Hi Everyone
Only 2 more days to my fill..Thank God!!!!!
I hope I get some restriction as its getting just that bit harder each day..
willpower when you are being invited out is really tested to limit
I feel I cannot say Yes to food as I still have the old hang-up of "Here we go again spoilt that diet now haven't you?!!!
This is when I think the mind has a lot to answer too...My mind always spoils my diets :/
I want to be able to go to Slimming World this week with a loss that is decent enough to hold my head up next to the thin people that loose 3-4 pounds each week..and they didn't even get a band :/
How is it possible to be so slim and loose that amount of weight..And I always seem to be sandwiched between two really slim people when I go there

Head up high val! You inspire me every week, you will soon have that restriction you want and you'll motor on with your losses I just know it! Most of the battle I'm fighting with my weight, the key to that lies in my head. I don't allow myself not to have treats if I feel I want them I just make sure I'm really good the rest of the time. Do you think some of your hunger is head hunger? Are you eating enough? X x
Val

Simple answer..No I am not eating enough
but if I eat more I don't loose weight...
I just think I need to get Wednesday out of the way..and as you say..Hope it does the trick and the weight starts to go down again..
I feel like the last 3 weeks I have been trying so hard and not doing to well at all.....one and a half pounds in 3 weeks is crazy....especially when you are a big ol' gal like me

Would it help to write down what your eating? It's important to get the balance right if you eat too few cals that can stall weight loss too, your body believes it's starving and stores what you eat x

You can hold your head high anyway hunni, you don't need to lose 4 pounds to do that!
The weight will come off, no need to starve yourself.
Good luck for SW - and not long to wait til that fill xxx

What is a typical day for you then now BB...as you are just ahead of me and how is your weight loss going

I have just got back from my fill
What a day..it was Awful :/
First it was a visit to dietician. She was really pleased although she only recorded a one pound weight loss, she is taking the reading since my Op.
I told her how unhappy I was with my meagre loss the last 3 weeks, she went through my daily foods and does not think I am eating enough and that I am going too long in-between meals, she thinks I should have 2 small snacks, IE a banana or some other fruit..or a low fat yoghurt as well
She said I had done much better than many at this stage and said that the overall weight loss was really good
She suggests I am more patient and not so hard on myself until I get restriction. She said to have a 2ml fill and said I may then see a substantial loss soon
Then onto the nurse for fill...Really bad news. She could not find the entrance to the port she asked if I was Ok to keep trying and I had the needle put in over and over again :/
I was lying flat, standing up and even had a pillow under my back to no avail
She insisted I took a rest and she went to find a surgeon, one was not available and she thinks the port may have turned....
after a rest I asked could she please try just once more
She asked me to lie down and see where I coud feel the ort..it was in a slightly different place and she agreed to try once more after a little while she sighed and said I have managed to draw off 1 ml and put another 2 in as well..but she is contacting my surgeon as it was so hard to locate. We are only covered for 6 months after surgery and she wants him to know how difficult it was to locate...she even thinks I may have to have the port re positioned :/ that's more surgery...... Oh My
My next appointment is 8th an...so fingers crossed I get some improvement from this fill...

Don't let your first experience put you off, it sometimes happens like that at the beginning with the port being difficult to locate, then sorts itself out. Follow the rules and the weight should come off. X

Awww val! Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience! Will you have to go for a scan or anything? I don't know how that could have happened x x
Val
Committed Weight Loser
I asked was it something I did and she said a definite NO...it happens apparently...
I was amazed though if it happens after 6 months you have to pay again
Anyway I wont know now until I go 8th Jan to see how that fill go's but at least Mr Richardson will know The Nurse had problems from month 2 so I hope he would honour any further surgery if it has to be sorted...so fingers crossed
I now know what a pin cushion feels like
Val

This was my 2nd fill the first one went very smoothly..so I was a bit shocked she could not locate the port
I always follow the rules 20/20/20 but sadly because I had a big weight loss at beginning it is just sorting itself out...I was also told to eat a little more...so maybe its true if you do not eat enough you will stall....
