15kg down!



Finally reached my 3rd goal of 15kg (33lbs)
I don't even remember the last time I'm lost this much
Although my clothes are definitely looser, I can't say that it's an obvious difference
But I already feel alot better about myself :)

However...
I think I'm reaching the dreaded "Bandster Hell" =S
I'm constantly searching for food (I do restrain myself though. I want to lose this weight so I'm not sabotaging myself by eating crap)
I'm always hungry!
I'm going for my post-op appointment on the 6th September
But that's only 3 weeks post op so I'm not sure if he will give me a fill
Right now I'm just being strong and resisting the urge to eat all the time

Having said that, I'm very happy with my progress :)

    congrats!! well done.

    your doing great and dont worry im in badster hell most of the time... im at my worst now, i can eat nearly anything and my hunger is back.

    i have 6 small meals a day which creates better weigbt loss for me, if your hungry maybe you should have 6 small things?

    thanks!

    yeah I don't like the idea of having 3 solid meals a day because I like variety!

    I'm constantly grazing though and I'm not feeling full. I think I might actually be eating too little because I'm too scared of doing any damage to the band

    I really have no idea how much I should be eating at one sitting. Really need to see my surgeon!

    Great progress!!! Yeah I think the 3 meals/day thing is hardest when you're in bandster hell. I'll second the 4-6 smaller meals per day idea. Once you have more restriction, it will get easier to space your meals out.

    From what I hear (as I've only had one fill thus far), eventually going 3-4 hours between meals should be pretty easy. I can go 2-3 now with only 1 fill, so I can totally see that being the case! :)

    I think it's too much for anyone to expect to be able to go that long without any restriction to slow things down, though.

Do you know what grinds my gears?

People who deliberately try to rain on your parade! First of all, sorry about the constant posting. I'm fairly addicted to the internet and I had an assignment due so I was procrastinating all morning and putting it off :P But I really just need to vent, and I'm sure you guys will understand why once you read what happened to me today Well as some of you might know, I work at a medical clinic and the doctors are all so sweet and are constantly telling me how proud they are of me. I enjoy working at the clinic however there is alot of bitchiness between the receptionists and some of them really frustrate me. Last week there was a new receptionist who I found out had lap band and she was such a great help. So I go in to work today and for some reason she was unable to work so there was another lady there. I really can't stand working with this particular receptionist. She is snobby and bitchy and lazy. She is constantly on the phone, never doing work, while I'm running a...

KAT VON D, PEACHES GELDOF & KELLY OSBOURNE = UNIQUE - These girls epitomise everything I would love to be - They're gorgeous, curvy and unique - Tatts are amazing. You either love them or hate them. I love them! - I've always had a girl crush on Kat von D...I would definitely turn for her ;P MARILYN MUNROE & BETTIE PAGE= PIN UP GLAM - I've always been fascinated by curvaceous pin ups - I wish that having curves didn't mean that you were "plus size" - These women prove that you don't have to be stick thin to be beautiful MOD...

Measurements!

So I decided to do some measurements today just out of curiosity I didn't expect to lose many cm's but my clothes are now getting looser and looser by the second! My jeans basically fall off me (doesn't help that I initially bought them a size too big!) I am super excited for surgery on Friday I've never been to hospital, and although I'm a little scared, I know this is a good thing for me
