well it has been a few weeks like 5 maybe since my last post... I have had some computer probs and have been unable to access my blog and I also didn't want to as well... I felt like the whole banding situation and reading other people's blogs were consuming my every thought...
anyway all good now... I am 6 weeks post band... no serious problems no PBs as they say, eating well, healthy and haven't succumbed to drinking alcohol or chips, lollies etc over xmas period which I am quite happy with myself about...
I've lost 12.5kg so far... My specialist is happy with that. I am feeling great about myself...
the biggest challenge i've had is blood pressure which seems to be going up and down, the doctor is hoping that with more loss the blood pressure will go down and be more regular. I have to let him know my readings tomorrow and he may or may not begin to treat me... scary thing is if i had not had the band done I would not have known I had high blood pressure...
my other challenge is just the fact that I have the band... it really freaks me out some days... I get scared that I have this foreign object inside of me... but I wouldn't change having it for the moment. I now understand that I needed some help to curb my excessive eating and excessive it was now that I realise how much I was eating... and the crap that I was putting into my body.
I also have a healthier attitude towards doing a little exercise... I've been walking each nite after dinner... just 15-30mins... its been great for me... and the kids who love getting out and about.
well thats my update... i hope to touch base with all of you I haven't msg for a few weeks etc.
merry xmas and happy new year to all...

Welcome back Crista,
glad that you are still around! It is freaky having this band thingy. I forget sometimes that I have it, which results in me up chucking my food! not nice, but at least it's a reminder that it is there. Keep us updated
take care and a happy new year to you.
;o)
