goals

I just read through the list of random goals that i had made pre-op... I am so proud to say that all but 2-3 of them have been achieved.... My life has change so much for the better since I have lost this weight... the band has helped but alot of it was my own perserverence... I feel so good about myself, I put myself first now and I like how I look. I bought several new clothes from Suzanne Grae the other day and for the first time in my life I actually dress the way I've always wanted to....

If I can share anything about the banding experience its that it has helped me gain the confidence that I need to get through each day... now everything else all the worries and stress I used to have are second to nothing... they are still there but I can now deal with them since I have control of my weight and health...

Weighing in at 94kg

So I am down to 94kg.... I don't have much to report... things have been good... weight loss going ok... clothes aren't fitting so time to do some shopping thats for sure... my daycare mum asked me the other day if I had a nose job... my face must have been quite bloated before... I get alot of comments now and it feels good... I forget some days that I am not that big fat chick anymore well I am still heavy but I'm getting there...

where I'm at

I've now lost 22kg or about that since the op... I weighed in at 99.5kg today... am delighted... Its been hard work though... I've had alot of indecision about having the surgery... why why why couldn't i have just done this on my own... but realise that I just couldn't... I never realised that I had an eating problem...

now i eat healthy meals, smaller portions of course but 10 times healthier than ever before. I exercise daily and I enjoy it...

I have 1 personal trainer session a week and go the the gym to do 2 - 3 classes or cardio in additon to walking on the days that i can't make the gym.

My family have had to adjust to the changes but we've all got involved in a little more exercise... and meals aren't a problem cause they aren't fussy...

so far so good...

had second fill last week and now have about 3ml in... have alot more restriction since but its improving day by day.

I've officially LOST 15kg

Feel my joy! I am happy at last... 15kg down... the items in my waredrobe now actually fit correct and actually some that didn't before now do... I've been gyming... did my first YOGA class this week to work on my stress and chilling out... it was good.. had a pt session yesterday and have a good feeling about my new personal trainer... i reckon she's going to get me enthuised... I also joined up on the 6 week bootcamp that starts in 2 weeks time so do I feel good hell yeh...

I also worked out that my high blood pressure goes higher when I am stressed out... So I've been working on my breathing, going for a work when I feel a bit stressed or a bit of anxiety come on..

So far I'm gud...
I've had 2 times now that bread is getting a bit hard to swallow... but I've not thrown anything up.... the first time I was just eating the wrong thing... shouldn't have had the hot chips on bread in the first place and knew after the 2nd bite to stop what I was doing... the 2nd time I was just eating a salad sandwich but after I slowed down and took smaller bites all was good...

I am finding that portion size is ok too... I am full after about a cup or small plate full and I am loving the new fish meals that I have added to the home dinner menu and so are the family... I've tried to have 2 servings of fish at least a week....

Took multivitams this week and have felt a bit off so will have to ask doctor about that this week... he originially told me to hold off until I was eating a bit more but the dietian told me to start again..

anyways hope everyone else is going ok on their journeys!!
