DAY AFTER OP, ON MY WAY HOME
10 KILOS DOWN!!!
MY BANDING JOURNEY
29th January 2008
Well my banding journey as such hasnt exactly started as yet, at the moment im still eating like the proverbial horse!!! Although I have started to practice bandit eating behaviours in preparation, like taking small bites and chewing and chewing and chewing and try avoiding liquids during my meals. And I try and sip my water throughout the day. Im doing this because they are the things that are going to be really hard for me, as im a speed eater and chronic drinker during a meal, and when i do eat and drink i do it hard and fast!!! But because my body is still technically able to eat at whatever rate it wants to and however much it wants to then I lose patience and wolf it all down plus seconds!!!! LORD HELP ME!!!!! lol Ok, well I promise to keep my blog updated with lots of pics and ramblings! Thanks for popping in!!

I dunno what is going on but ever since i decided that Banding was the road I was taking and so decided to eat what I like to make up for all the years I deprived myself, I have been losing weight!!!! Ive lost nearly 5 kilos since Christmas and Im for the first time in my life NOT ON A DIET!!! Go figure.........Just thought Id share :)
1st February 2008
Pinch and Punch for the first day of the month!!!
Went out last night for dinner and thought I was looking slimmer until one of my boys took this photo, and nope I was still fat!!! Ah well, roll on banding!!!! But its all good because you really do need reality checks like this, it keeps your eye on the ball!! lol
Friday 8th February
Well nothing much has changed since i was last on, ive met some more awesome ladies and a gent or 2 on the forum, and ive gained a couple of kilos too, ho hum... Ive been doing a fair bit of reflecting on my wasted years and seriously regretting not getting this done before now, i honestly feel like im a non-person who is about to become a real person for the first time in years!!!! And I cant begin to describe the elation i feel when i see the skinny me in my imagination, the confident, beautiful me that leads a perfect existence!!! Ive got high hopes i know and probably have built myself up for a fall, but anywheres better than here Im guessing, so BRING IT ON!!!!! Im holding davis323 to her prediction that our Dr is going to band me on the 8th of April, if he doesnt and I fall in a screaming heap, she has to buy me CHEESECAKE from the cheesecake shop!! (hey i'll be devastated I think i'll deserve it) bye for now......

Wednesday 13th February 2008
YAY!!! I have my date!!! Dr Couldnt see me, his girls rang me an hour or so before my consultation to say he'd been called to Theatre, so I cried thinking it would be weeks till i got my date, but the girl said, no we can still book you in for the surgery, so Phew!!! I almost died!! i had my heart so set on getting my date and taking the next step!!! Anywhoo, my banding date is the 15th APRIL 2008!!!!! IM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!
Friday 15th February 2008
Does anyone have any tips for getting puppies to sleep all on their lonesome in the laundrey QUIETLY, like all good puppies should!!! Im going crazy, Billy seems to be spoiled already!!! Or suffering from separation anxiety!! He cries every hour allllllllllllll night!!! I am soooooooooooo tired, but i have to suck it up and put on a smiley face to my hubby because he didnt want another dog and I assured him that we needed this one, he'd be fine, id do everything, you wont even know he's around!! Well he's kind of hard to ignore at 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 am!!! When he's screaming like someones strangling him!!!! Man, did I mention how tired I am!!! :o) Oh the joy!! 58 sleeps till banding!!!

Monday 18th February 2008

We had a surprise 18th for my baby sister last night, it was great, lots of good company, and lots of good food!!! :) Nothing else has really changed so i wont bore you with my life :p Just wanted to keep this blog up to date so its something for me to look back on in a years time and see how ive changed in body and soul, see how much better im feeling about myself and the world around me. Right this minute im just darn frustrated waiting for the surgery and pinning so many hopes on it that its a complete success and I can re-join the human race and start to LIVE!!!!!
Wednesday 27th February 2008
Got my surgeon consult tomorrow, so ive got my folder of banding facts and figures all ready and packed, i want him to know I mean business this time and ive got all the info I can possibly have!!!! Im rally looking forward to starting the optifast on Friday, funnily enough, its only becuase finally the scales will be going down and for the very first time they'll be staying down!!!
Friday 29th February 2008
