hey everyone,, everyone was so helpful in rebooting my motivation to stay on liquids,, but now i have the issue that according to my "fitnesspal" im having way under the calorie intake im suppose ,, will this slow my weight loss down ?? also at 130kg is it safe for me to start C25K

wow thanks,, that was really really informative,, once im healed and restricted would 2kg a week be realistic for the first few months ??

ok so im back on track now with liquids,, but my MYFITNESSPALL app is telling me im having to under the calories i should,, will this slow down my weight loss ?

11 days post and down 7kg so 12kg all up,, thru on some clothes this morning actuallu could see a difference, soo excited my nsv excites me more then the scale one i think :)plus i have sooo much energy today its awesomw

wow i really didnt even think of it that way,,, i was just thinking i was sooo hungry,, but your right i need to follow the instructions cuz doing it my way got me here,, crap cant believe i was so quick to slio back into old thought patterns,, a little scary :/ so glad to havw this community to keep me on track,, maybe im not getting enough protien in ?? would that be why im so hungry ?? its not a head hunger its a "my tummy is grumbling and whinging at me" hungry,, any suggestions on how i can stick to the rules but kinda satisfy that as well ?

im just really really hungry and starting to crave meat soooo bad,, im doing three protein shakes a day plus a multivitamin,, plus chicken and vegie soup of dinner,, so plenty of food and protein,, but still soo hungry and cravings are hell :/

the pulling feeling isnt doing damage,, its just your body adjusting , we just have to remember to take it EASY lol as much as we feel pretty much back to normal our bodys are still HEAL INTERNALLY and adjusting to pretty much a unknown object,,, ive been able to manage ny shoulder pain with just iburofen ,,, also i know it hurts but do arm stretches it helps move the gas and helps a bit

sooo today is my first saturday being out of bed / post op comma ,,, and my house mates have a few friends around having drinks in the shed and the all decided to get pizza : / and my favourite drink rummmmm EEEKKK so much temptation ,,, i knew that weekends would be hard as most of my friends head out clubbing and to partys on the weekends as do I ,, but not drinking alcohol is just al adjustment ill have to get used to ,, not just cuz the soft drink in the drinks will make me burp which is a little uncomfortable,, but also cuz there is soooo many calories in those drinks that its really NOT WORTH IT,, so yea just thought i would give you all a quick update,, get that off my chest as it is going to be one of those hurdles ill have to get through,, hope you all have a lovely weekend

onw week post op still have gas n shoulder pain amd in starting to feel my port pull when i move :/ all normal but super uncomfy

ive lost 5kg since surgury,,, 11lbs and ten kg in total so 22 lbs one week twos and still shoulder pain n gas

your brave going back to work so early,,, i was told to stay away from work or physical activity for at least two weeks ummm i started to feel a bit more "normal" around 45 days out,, i was finding i was having more energy and just functioning normally,,, bit slow moving still and im ten days out,, my port incesion is a bit akward now cuz if i move the wrong way or cough it pulls and that hurts a bit, it didnt do that to start,, started around day 5,, but its normal because the port is stitched to our muscles,, the shoulder pain was the worst part of the first few days for me also,, i found panadol and heat packs work AWESOMELY tho i was scared to get weigh on my one week post op day cuz i felt really heavy and bloated,, but i had actually lost 5kg which was exciting,, i had my first coffee post on yesterday and i found cuz i havnt had sugar in my system for so long the coffee actually sent me a little hyper which was funny for my house mates apparently LOL but yea,, day 5,6 you should start feeling "normal" again,, just watch out for that port pain cuz it kinda snuck up on me OUCHY good luck

sooo yesterday afternoon i ventured out of the house to go catch up with some family,,, i was a little nervous as i hadnt really hung out with any one other then my house mates since the surgury and they are used to my little after drinking and eating dances and faces lol well it actually went really well,, of course there were lots of questions and humour and support as my family are great that way, but there was a little akwardness when it came to stuff like offering me tea and coffee and what not,, but i guess thats to be expected cuz most people dont really know much about banding or how it works or what we can eat and stuff , but once we got past that it was all pretty normal and awesome,, it was a great feeling a lifted alot of fear from me about feeling out of place because of my eating restrictions, but it as quite easy to adjust,,, they decided on fish and chips for dinner so i just got one peace of crumbed fish and ate it slowly like we bandits have to and in the time it took me to eat my peace of fish they were all finishing their meals,, so it as alot less akward and such a relief i dont think they really even noticed how little i ate,, or maybe my family are just that awesome they just took it on board either way SUCCESS ,,, i even actually had half a glass of rum and coke,, naughty naughty i know but it was a bit of a reward for me,, but as i havnt been eating anything sugarly or fatty latly the sugar in that half a glass sent me a little hyper LOL,,,, which my family ( who all quit enjoy there alcohol) thought was quit funny,, i also noticed last night that my attitude and confidence has changed a little bit already ,, usually im shy and timid around my family , but last night i didnt have the usual feeling of not fitting in,, ive only lost 5 kg but the knowledge in the back of my head that i am making these changes and that i am GOING to do this ,, just that knowledge alone and the confidence and energy i get from having my band is boosting me so much and my family are noticing already,, so hopefully that lasts through out my journey,, i know it probably will waver here and there but again a perk of my family know and my close friends know is they can spur me on so yea great start to my second bandit week,,, tata for now

how will i know it my port is slipping ??? also the right side of my stomach for about a ten cm radius is really hard n my port incision id actually a healing firm with a lump :/

thank you im usually one of those people that if something can go wrong it will,,so im crossing my fingers this is different :#

wooohooo week one down,,, still feeling like this is all pretty daydreamish,, suppose massive change sometime can feel rather serial. this week wasnt as hard as I had imagined, i wasnt really hungry much, i did crave food a little bit but my fear of food getting stuck kinda over ruled that LOL. Im finding already i have lots more energy and determination to do this. Im struggling to find enuthsiasm about finding recipes and being overly organised about food and stuff,, which is something i will have to fix if im going to succeed at this,, which I AM GOING TO DO,, i started walking today it was actually really good I found it much easier even with the little amount of weight i have lots YESSS my port side incision is start to get hard and lumpy but apparently that is normal..... FREAK OUT !!!! oh and sneezing OUCHHIES ,,,, but it will heal and it will be worth it so yea all in all this week very little pain,, a bit of an emotional roller coaster but i expected that,, and still just adjusting will keep you posted during the week,, im very new at this whole keeping a blog this so hopefully i will get better as i go alone tata for now

:/ a moth eeekkk,,, i go back to work in just over a week and i work in a domestic & comercial laundry so lifting hanging moving bending running around is all i do all day,,, eeekk
