I have decided that I am not going to weigh myself until I get weighed for my fill. I really do not have any restriction (or not much) and I am resigned to putting on a few pounds. Hopefully I'll get it off again easily once I'm filled.

I better!

I am trying to make better choices with food, but two things are hampering me (notice how good I am at excuses :-)) (1) I am really hungry. Like stomach-growling hunger. That didn't used to happen to me at all, pre band I never waited that long to eat (grin) and post band I didn't get like that. Not sure if it is to do with so little restriction, but my stomach gurgles and groans and rumbles a lot now.


(2) I'm on some unrelated medication which threatens that some might gain weight as a side effect. Sigh, I think I am one of them.


But I'm staying positive, and hopefully will get back to the gym *soon* now that the snow has cleared up.
Enjoying reading everyone's blogs - Dinnerland glad you are back open for business; Bunny, you've been away for a week, hope you are ok.

Yes, just do your best and if the scale is too difficult to face-- then stay off of it.
Sorry this is a difficult time but you will have your fill soon and hopefully be feeling much better...

Look at you making regular comments again - it's brilliant!!

I hear you about the hunger - just went through it myself a few weeks ago - and found a small fill is the only answer. When do you get your fill! PS Drinks heaps and heaps of water.. it's the only way I got through. x

Upper Wimpole St - which is near Weymouth - who does yours? I go to CDB or Marc Focquet, depending on when they are around - Dr Chris did my surgery.

Hi,

I am Julie , 24 years old, on my journey to get a gastric band, reading your blog is something that helped me a lot in making my decision to go for the operation as it gives a fair idea of what it is like to be banded, I have started a new blog today : http://julie-and-sammy.blogspot.com/ and I would love it if you had the time to follow my journey to give me some advice. I don't know anybody who has been through this process yet so thought i should email the persons whose blog helped me in making my decision.

Hoping to have you as part of my followers soon.

xx

Julie.
