1.2kg loss this week. I am only 900gm off the teens..... mannnnnnnnn feels like its ages away... just hoping that I can lose again next week. I must have done something right this week, but I don't know what... luck of the draw I suppose... just keep doing what I'm doing and hope that the losses keep coming...
Just a quick update :)

to be expected...
No Loss this week.
No Gain either.
Bad a bad day with sweet stuff the other day, but tried to rectify that with 3 days of being good and being under my points. Glad I didn't gain, but it would have been nice to at least lose 100gm. Oh well, I suppose that's bound to start happening now I'm getting lower.
I do have to say though that I have been absolutely starving at work the past few weeks. I think it's mostly boredom hunger, but still, it's horrible. I get aching pains because I'm so hungry!
I am pretty close back to being able to eat whatever, if I take my time. So perhaps I will get a fill next month when I am booked in. I just hope I can get some more losing happening before then. At least I will feel a bit better about things if I can still lose while not relying so much on the band.
Anyways.... Still a blasted 2.1kg away from the teens.... come on!

back it up sista...
1.2kg lost this week. Not too bad I must say.
For some reason after lunch yesterday afternoon I started getting a little pain in my gutt... and last night it turned into a full on stabbing pain... today it's the same but moving down... so I think I'm a tad backed up... TMI sorry lol
The painters will be in today or tomorrow and generally around that time I do get backed up a bit, but it's usually when I've already started... I had to get out the powder this morning to have with my morning cuppa in hopes that I can get some more water going through to soften me up a bit. Hurts like hell... I even have my heat pack at work.
Hoping for a quiet night in tonight but it's possible we will get given a couple of tickets to see a movie... wouldn't mind the movie to much, but hoping in turn that doesnt mean we have to catch up with the other people going and do dinner or drinks or both.... not feeling very social at all today.
I'm craving sweet things big time.. I've had 3 little choccies and a shortbread biscuit.... still in good points range as I had a small breakfast and lunch... so I should be OK if we can have a normal dinner.
I wanna lay down :( stupid work

No longer MO!
I stumbled across one of those graphs yesterday, which show you what category you fall under using your height and weight as a guide.
I was so shocked to see that I am no longer in the Morbidly Obese category.... I can't remember when I WASN'T in that category! I'm still Obese... but no more Morbid.... holy crap how awesome is that?? :)

i'm baaaaaaaaaaaack
:D
1.1kg down this week. Pretty sure it could have been more, but I didn't use all my points before weigh in.
I saved about 34 in total and only used 10-15 of the saved ones... I was told that you can only save points if you plan to use them on the weekend, otherwise your body gets in a rut and will stop losing.
So I got home and had dessert last nite, just a little funtime cone... but with the bestest yummiest ice cream.... cookies and cream connoisseur mmmmmmmmmmm --that used about 8 pts, and I ended up with 12.5 left at the end of the week. Not bad :)
So I'm hoping if I can keep it up this week as well and make sure I use my points that I save, I will keep on going down.
I am now 2.3kg off the teenies.... OHHMYGAWDijustcannotremembereverbeingthatloweveromgomg.

hmm
Each day is different for me... The rest of the spring roll went down OK today (yes, I'm a glutton for punishment trying that again lol)
But I was still hungry and it was sitting there looking at me after I ate my chicky wing... lol
Did you guys know that you can get your fill bills back on medicare?? Here I was thinking I had to pay $180 dollars for a fill and that was it... but I just found out I can get about $110 back from medicare! I only just ran out of finance on my account for appointments, so now I won't be so worried about it when August comes if I need another fill.... I can deal with paying $70, but not $180 with no rebate... ugh
I just read Bec's list of foods she can't eat and I noticed she had noted down raisin toast.
Does anyone else struggle with that?
I'm pretty darn tight, but I have raisin toast every morning with no problems....?
That being said, I've always been a cold toast eater.. so I toast mine to a dark brown and leave it in the toaster until it's cold and hard... then I butter it and put jam on it... always crunchy and doesn't clog up...perhaps thats why I do well with it.
People have always thought I'm odd because I'd rather cold toast than hot toast.. I like hot toast as well, but I prefer it cold.

chickidy china...
chickidy china... the chinese chicken..... had a spring roll that got stuck and pain and owie and damnit!!!! whyyyyyyyyyyy meeeeeeeeeeeee D:
Today I decided to be a little naughty at lunch and bought chinese. In the fridge at work is a home made eggy, ham, tomato and lettuce mountain bread wrap i made this morning... but I just didn't feel like it when it came to lunch time.
I went out planning to buy another bowl to add to a set of mine, in case I broke one.... didn't get the bowl unfortunately, but I did get yummy smelling chinese.... part of which, was a teeny spring roll i put in the bottom of the container (self serve)
well golly gee gosh... I've had spring rolls before since being banded... but not since my last fill..... WHAT THE FREAKIN HELL; THE DEVIL MADE THIS SPRING ROLL...
all was going down fine (all, being my first two or three bites) and then I chose to bite that damn spring roll.
Haven't done the dash for the dunnies yet, but it's painful and hurty and owie :(
bec, kill me lol

so far, so good
I briefly mentioned in a comment on my last post about my last couple of days....
So far, I'm going good... I'm trying a kind of 'quick start' again, which should work pretty well considering my last week was very high... so my body should have a bit of a 'wtf' moment----------hopefulllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....
Thursday I did 20.5pts and a walk worth about 1.5 (only small because I had my bf's Mum with me)
Friday I did 21.5pts and walked around the shopping centre at lunch. I only put this down as 1.5
So far today I've done about 16 and haven't had dinner yet. Had a big shop session this morning and wrote it down as 1.5, but could easily have been 2 or 2.5 Expecting about 3 or 4 pts for dinner and I'm having a glass of agrum, so that might be another 1pt if I finish it.
I must admit I'm not going great on the water today, but I don't genereally do well with it on the weekends...
I'm watching the AFL at my bf's brothers place and it's an eagles vs collingwood match. Their team against mine. I'm also having a roast dinner cooked for me (for once!) so looking forward to it and it smells great :)
Go pies! :)

Onward bound :)
Well.. the inevetable happened.
I put on.
Luckily it was only 300g. But still, 17 weeks of losses and now a gain.... crap!
Lucky for me it's motivated me to do better this week. Now the next hurdle is plateu... please please please... no plateu's...
Guess what? No dessert last night.... yay! Yes, obviously I missed the sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet taste of something so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.... but... I was proud of myself, because it allowed me to earn some points. I also went for a 20min walk, so there is a little bit on top of that also. I wanted to go longer, but I had my bf's Mum with me and she can't walk far. It was also getting quite dark so we decided to go the shorter route...
Does anyone know about the WW quick start rules? when I first started and was on 27pts, my leader made me do I week of quick start which was 25pts and then back up to 27 again... Is it just taking off 2 points? So like... if I did a week of 23, would that work the same way??
Perhaps some miricle person will find this blog and answer my question... or perhaps not. *shrug*
I really wasn't surprised that I put on this week. It was pretty bad.... I did expect to put on last week... 1.5 loss WAS a surprise... 300g gain.. not so much.

blorg...
I guess I shouldn't be worried if I did have a gain... it would be the first one in 17 weeks and I'm sure that it wouldn't be much... (can you tell I can't get this off my damn mind???)
I guess the thought of putting on scares me now... I went through such a struggle in the beginning with all my complications (before and after surgery) and to be over 35kg down already is such a blessing.
I went onto the yahoo aus forums the other day and there was one bloke who had his surgery the same month as me (Oct 09) and he had already lost 63kg and was at goal.... wtf??? I know Men lose weight A LOT quicker than us girlies... but 63 kg in 9 months is crazy!
I dunno... I suppose after my initial loss of 15kg with pre-op and liquid/mushies the extra 20kg in 5-6 months is pretty good.... 18kg of those in the last 17 weeks (3-4months?) thanks to WW and tracking though.. so I suppose that's pretty good.
Rambling sorry..
I just caaaaaaaan't get this out of my heaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd....
Continuing on from my last comment on my last post... my food intake for the last week has been SO good, once again up until desert time... even including the milo's I've managed to be around the 18-20pt mark after my afternoon tea and generally my dinner is only 4-5pts (I have 25 a day atm).... so then I have my meal... and generally sit around 22-25pts... and then I have something fucking stupid for desert.. lol just kill me now! I did soooooooooooooo well for a few months after my surgery, not wanting desert... actually could leave a tub of ice cream in the freezer for weeks and not touch it... but i dunno... the last month or so it's every night (and mostly thanks to my bf who loves his desert)....(when i dont care, he wants it, when he doesn't care, i want it... thus usually every night lol)
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh ok... i should get back to work.

Nana's
I don't know if it's just me, or banders in general... but does anyone feel as if eating a banana is quite difficult and time consuming?
I've been avoiding fruits for a while now, because a lot of them do the same thing to me, but I find that Banana is the most difficult, alongside Melon and Mango's...
I can chew it until it's runny mush, but as it's going down, it practically forces itself through the band and I feel uncomfortable with every bite. Obviously it's going to go down because it's so slimey, but it's always an uncomfortable feeling as if it's getting squished through??
Haven't had the best week with points this week, and haven't really had the opportunity to exercise extra like last week.. soooo cross fingers I've lost something!
It's the hot Milo that does it to me... 2.5pts per cup and I have about 2 or 3 a day... because my circulation sucks and a warm drink helps (and I don't like tea or coffee!)
Actual food consumption is good.. it's just the darn milo... :(
