Day 5 post op
Last injection today which is fantastic as i feel like a bruised pin cushion.
Changed my dressings as per the instructions but left the steri strips on as i wasn't sure.
Eating more easier and starting to feel hungry which is a bit daunting.
A little tired still and lightheaded so sat on my bum and watched films all day.
Got on the scales and i was 13 st 13 ( 195 lb) so 7lb down since my pre op post stats 6 days ago! Made up x
 
Wow! Well done tweety!

Right in reference to not imagining being a healthy weight ... You will be trust me. Work with it. Take one day at a time and see how quickly you get there, for me, getting into each new weight bracket is so exciting! It's great and inspiring and with the loss your achieving now- you will see it in no time! Great going girlie! Proud of you !

Day 6 post op

Stomach not bloated just swollen which i know is gonna take time. Struggling to wear jeans and living in leggings and bootiful knee length white surgical socks (grrr) .

Felt alot more perkier today and wondering if the blood thinners weren't helping the last 5 day with lightheaded ness.

Craving chocolate like hell due to hormones but resisting due to the band (erk).

Lost another pound in weight, this is now a steady 1 lb a day which i am expecting to slow down soon.

Roll on the 12 stones..... 12lb to go!
 
Day 7 post op. 1 week surgiversary!!!

Well im still on that steady 1lb a day. Stomach dropping a little more and had no hunger today and didn't eat till 5pm. Feeling like i need something sweet so bought some chocolate mousses.

Hubby got right on my case about it! I wouldn't mind but id had 180 kals total and it was a diet choc mousse!

Anyway just sat down to eat in front of xfactor and got full halfway through, uggh i feel like crap.

Tomorrow is another day
 
Ohhh no I hope you dint feel too bad. You need to try eat some thing in the morning/ early afternoon , not eating till 5pm isn't great. It's horrible if your not feeling great but bit eating enough will also make you feel worse :-(.

Big hugs xx
 
I agree ... at least try eat something every few hours ... even if only a couple of spoons full. You need to have a little something otherwise you have no energy. My dietician recommends 3 main meals and 3 snacks a day. I didn't have much more than a half a cup of anything at anytime the first 10 days or so. Even a bit of diluted fruit juice is good for a snack and gets some much needed liquid in! I'm still battling with liquid 4 weeks later. Hope you feel better tomorrow.
 
Im drinking lots but maybe thats why im not hungry. Im doing ok really considering but I know what you mean. Im actually concerned myself. I mean ive never survived on <500 kals a day before LOL.

Back to work monday which is gonna be weird.
 
Day 8 post Op

Stomach dropped but bloated still due to mother nature.

Jeans have been falling down all day. Whoop whoop!

OH full of a cold and doing my head in today. Grumpy old man syndrome but ignoring him.

Baked flapjacks and cakes today with kids, and a full roast dinner. getting real pleasure in feeding everyone except myself.

Calorie intake 480 ( 2 shakes, soup, choc mousse and 3 cups of tea) a little bit of cake mix but im not counting that . cant get anymore in me but I feel fine.

Stomach sounds like a blocked drain. Not sure if i can hear the tea ive just drunk straining through .... I kind of like listening to it. ?
 
I love a good pair of jeans falling off ;-) ... Well done girlie

Slowly try increase to around 1000 kcal's but your doing fab. Sorry OH was moody ( think it was men in general today- lol )

Pleased it's going well 8 days post op. Wow I remember them days . It will all fly by .... Eeeeek. Great results though misses xx
