OMG doing the very happy dance!!!!
I reached my first goal this morning....99.9kg under the 100 wooohooooooo.14.1 horrible kilos gone and I'm feeling bloody fantastic.
I am so excited and motivated.
Changes in me so far...
*Having my darling hubby and kids tell me how proud they are of me...means the world!!!
* Confidence...has gone up and up
* Don't care attitude...as in I don't care if people are looking at me/watching me, I am beginning to like ME so don't gaf what other people think
*Wearing smaller clothes, back into 16's again
*Wearing jeans again and feeling comfortable
*Having a go at study...enrolled in a single unit at OUA it's from B Ed...will see how that goes lol
Next goal is for my birthday/Christmas which is to get to 20kg gone :)
Did I ever mention the lap band is just an amazing tool???

An extra 1.0 ml
Back to drs rooms today, saw Dr Charlie Elliot instead of Dr Martin.
Charlie had trouble finding my port, tried 3 times. I could feel him kind of flicking the port with the needle.
Turns out that my port is stitched to my stomach wall with 4 *grips* as he put it and it appears one has let go, thus putting my port on an angle. When he did eventually find the port he showed me the angle of the needle. So now not only do we need a long needle, I have to ensure he aims for the small of my back. Oh delightful.
I had 1 ml put in, liked the way he did that, got me to drink after putting some in and then withdrew some until I could feel the water trickle through.
Let's hope this gets the weight moving on down, still needing to get under 100kg lol

feeling blah....
Not sure what the heck is wrong but I'm feeling very average.
I have been forgetting my vits so thats a possible cause, I'm also sleeping alot and feel sleepy when I'm not lol.
Eating probably a little more than I should be, weight didn't move for over a week, I think another fill is definately in order. Roll on the 21st.
I need to up my water intake as well, it's been very sparse, actually any fluid intake has been sparse hmmmm could be solving my own problems here hehehe
As I have been introducing more foods back in to my diet, it's been interesting and kind of proved a point to myself.
I had suspected a long time ago that I may of had a problem with some intolerance to milk and bread, they were big staples in my diet, loved both alot.
Well milk it seems is ok in a very small amount ie 1/2 cup for cereal any more than that and I suffer terrible pains in my tummy, get bloated etc and although I haven't had any bread I have had crackers, 1-2 are ok any more and I get similar probs to the milk. I will try to remember to discuss this with the dietician.
I am really really into eating fish at the moment, loving tthe tinned salmon, haven't been game to try fresh salmon but maybe this week, someone on the yahoo septemeber bandits forum posted about a salmon quiche, sounds great:)
Well I hope my fellow bandits are all doing well.
Keep well and healthy:)

First Fill
I had my first fill yesterday.
Was an experience, Dr Martin couldn't find the port with the small needle so had to swap to a larger one, still had to dig around a bit but it wasn't at all painful so it didn't really bother me.
I now have 4.5 ml in my band.
I told him I wasn't hungry but he said I would be so he insisted it went in.
Noticed immediately the restriction with just drinking water, it kinda gurgled down. Great I now sound like a drain .PMSL.
I'm on fluids for 24 hours, but I think I will wait till tomorrow to start on mushies again:)
As I also went to the dietician yesterday, I am now able to start having solid food.
That will be interesting.
I had my first episode of not chewing/swallowing too much on tuesday. I had some salmon and decided a cracker would be good, well I completley forgot myself and ate it like I would of pre band.
OMG!!! the pain in my chest. I could feel it trying to go down and then I started salivating like never before. (OK so I'm a slimy drain;) I then coughed and up it all came just like it went down EWWWWWW but the pain relief was instant.
Lesson Learnt. Until next time :P
oooo I bought myself a dress today, from target in a regular 16. It's a black one (sorry Nat). I tried it on and could get it on but it will look much nicer with a few more kgs gone. So it is my Christmas goal dress:)
I am so excited about my band and how much better it has already made me feel in myself. Heck what am I going to feel like in another 10kgs...20kgs...I hope the rest of this journey will be as flowing as it has been so far.
Have a fab day :)
