COME ON ENGLAND

Match just about to start, I really need England to win or the husband will be sulking.

He's out watching the match, I though i'd buy some marshmallows as a treat for me for the evening, I thought that the couldn't be too bad as they're fat free. Fat free they are but each on is 25 cals! How can that be? I've eaten most of the bag which i've just realised adds up to almost 500 cals! How ridiculous is that. Makes my total for the day about 1450 cals which I guess isn't the end of the world.

Took the kids to a childrens festival today, they loved it.

Isobel and I popped to the supermarket this afternoon, we saw a young man being arrested for shop lifting, it made me really sad for him, I don't know why, stupid to be taken away in handcuffs in a police van for the sake of a milkshake.

Anyway, can I again say COME ON ENGLAND, you have no idea how excited my husband is!

Happy Friday!

My husband is beyond excited as the World Cup (football/soccer) is just about to start, he loves football, it goes on for a month! A month!!

Last night I was in panic mode as my laptop decided that it would no longer link to the internet, can you imagine evenings of him watching the football and me sat there doing nothing or worse still having to do housework to help the time pass!!

Happily it seems to be working again today, have downloaded Google Chrome as Firefox just wouldn't work and internet explorer was just awful.

I am considering buying an ipad, anyone have one? Not sure if i'd get on with it.

Band news!

There isn't any really, just realised that I've not talked about the band at all yet.

Went on to mush foods last night as I was starving, I did almost 3 days liquids, will do another couple of days of soft food. Feel ok, not sure though if I was really desperately hungry yesterday or if it was head hunger.

The scales say 16st 7lbs, which is 231 lbs, just 1 lb heavier than my lowest last week, hopefully will see 16st 6 tomorrow.

Off to read the blogs I missed yesterday, have a good day x

sorry!

Just want to apologise to anyone I freaked out yesterday talking about my fill. It really wasn't too bad at all, they only inserted the needle twice, they just kind of poke around trying to find the right place whilst its still inserted, I was just looking for sympathy!

Today is going well so far, although *tmi* I have a really upset stomach, not sure why, it might be wondering why i'm not eating lots of rubbish and panicing a little, I don't know! George had a bad nappy too, maybe we have a little bug but I feel ok.

I've stuck to liquids, have had

Shake for breakfast,
(skim)Latte for morning coffee with the school mums
Diet coke
Mushrooms soup for lunch
Shake at about 5pm
Bean and lentil soup for dinner at 730

Will probably have another shake and/or some yoghurt.

Does anyone else have a 14cc AP large band? If so do you mind telling me how much fluid you have in it and do you have restriction? I know that everyone is different but i'm just interested (nosey!)

I am filled

Went for my fill today, seemed to take forever, drive to the station, train in to London (cost £40!!!) on the tube, walked out at Baker St station and it was chucking it down so ended up in a tourist shop buying an umbrella, was crazy in there, not sure what nationality the tourists were in there but they were very keen on knocking me out of the way just so they could buy their union flag pen!

Anyway, got there and was taken in to be weighed, i've lost 3.5 pounds since my last visit according to their scales which weigh me 4 pounds heavier than mine.

Went to talk to the nurse fill lady, she was very nice, lots of advice, asked if i'd have a student in there whilst they were doing the fill which I agreed to. First we talked about how much she'd add, she said 0.5cc, I said no way, I have 5cc's in a 14cc band, getting to the hospital is a major mission for me, half a cc was pointless, she went to talk to the boss who said I could have 1cc, I was really hoping for 2.

Lots and lots of prodding from nurse and trainee, put needle in and kept hitting plastic, went on for ages, brought the boss in who finally found it and added the 1cc. Apparently its deep which I think means that it has an amazing amount of fat over it!

I'm being very good and have had soup and a shake for dinner, have been eating loads and loads recently so am going to try and be a good bandster, I fear that this fill won't give me any restriction but am hoping to be wrong.

Hope that everyone is well, have been trying to catch up with everyones blogs.

2nd fill today

Isn't it odd that I don't post very much when i'm not doing very well! Does anyone else treat the days before a fill as final feast days??
Just me then!

Will be back later (hopefully with restriction!)

Scale woe's

Why did I break my rule and stand on the scales again today?

Firstly, I was wrong yesterday, the scale said 16 6 on saturday and 16 7 yesterday (231 lbs) so I was up a pound, the scale today said 16st 8 and 3/4's! (almost 233)
I didn't have a great day yesterday, I was stuck in the car for most of the afternoon, I met my aunt at Costco, had a huge muffin but had had no lunch, bought an enormous bag of pretzels and ate a fair few on the way home. The traffic was terrible so I ended up in macdonalds, not somewhere I like very much and had a chicken burger and fries, didn't eat many fries, ate all the chicken and about 2/3's of the bun and was rewarded with a huge gain! Might be the amount of salt I ate I guess.

Anyway, Isobel is with my Aunt and having a great time, she told my aunt that she always has desert after breakfast! She's just like her mother!

George and I are alone, he's insisting that Isobel is at a party! I think that we're going to go to his favourite park and i'll stick him in the pushchair and have a good walk and maybe pop down to the beach. Weather looks lovely today, i'll probably be quite grumpy later!

Hope that everyone has a great day!

My girl is going away!

Morning all,

Hope that everyone had a good holiday weekend. Ours was ok, the highlight was going to see Sex and the city on Saturday, I loved it, especially Liza!

Today we have a childrens party (as always, had one on Sunday too) and then i'm taking Isobel to my Aunts in Gloucestershire, she is staying with her until Saturday. This is her first proper time away from us and she's so excited, I just hope that she doesn't change her mind in the middle of the night and I don't have to drive to Gloucestershire to get her!

My eating has been ok this weekend but not great, we had a family barbeque on Sunday and I didn't eat much but there wasn't much healthy food there, was ok all day yesterday and then had some chocolate last night and a couple of biscuits, more than I would normally have anyway, I did go to the gym on Saturday and Sunday though. I weighed in this morning and was 16 st 7lbs still (230 lbs) so i'm happy with than. 1 week until my fill.

Have a good Tuesday!
