My jaws need to chew!

Almost a week now since my surgery and although I'm not hungry I SOOOOOOOOOO need to chew something! Beginning to understand how sometimes your head is hungry. I cooked breakfast for 12 people today and I could have killed for a sausage! But on a positive note I knew I couldnt 'just have a one' so I didnt. Eventually I triumphed over temptation. SomethingI woul dnever have done before my band. I feel thinner today so was naughty and got on the scales. I promised myself I was only go to get on th

I am The Soup Queen

After three days of canned soup I decided I'd had enough and decided to make my own today. Lurking at the back of the freezer I found a bag of home grown Broccoli which my friend had given me (god only knows how long ago):eek: but I have never been one for wasting food! I sauteed some chopped onion and de stringed celery in a little butter then when it was all soft added a some chicken stock and the broccoli. Simmerred it for about 10mins then made a roux from a little flour butter and milk. I t

Feeling Great

I'm really suprised at how quickly my tummy both inside and outside is healing. Its now 3 days after my surgery and I am almost back to feeling normal. Still have a little difficulty bending down but much easier now getting up out of a chair and out of bed. Managed to sleep on my side for a little while last night, and I am sure the anesthetic is out of my system now. No more goose bumps and burning sensations sweeping through my body. My trousers are feeling a little slacker:laugh: so alll in

I'm officially a BANDSTER !!!! Yipeeeeeeee

Despite a long wait at the hospital my surgery went well. Although I was a bit unhappy at having to wait all day for my operation I actually quite enjoyed laying around and relaxing. The nurse came at around 3pm and asked me to shower and get changed into my gown etc. At 5pm the long awaited knock on my door came. It was much better walking to theatre and I was suprised at how relaxed I was. As I entered the operating room there were around 8 people milling around. They all said hello to me, the

In Hospital WAITING WAITING WAITING

I was picked up at 4am this morning, after a 4 1/2 hour journey I finally arrived at the hospital to be told they weren't sure what time I was going down to theatre. After being shown to my room I was asked to give a urine sample. I looked at the tube, looked at the nurse then looked at the tube again. Where's the funnell I asked. The nurse laughed, I was serious! The tube had a diameter of a 5p piece, how on earth could I freely direct my pee into such a small space. Men have it so easy! Well w

Oh I sooooo wish it was Friday. Being banded 2morro EEEEEEEK

:ohmy:Oh I am getting a bit nervous, thought I wouldnt but my insides have gone all higgelty piggelty. I was fine until the hospital called me yesterday to confirm my pick up time.Leaving at 5am and hoping my surgery is going to be performed mid morning. I don't want to be sitting around all day in turmoil. Got a three hour journey to the hospital traffic permitting. Taking a camera with me, I bought a size 14 bikini yesterday which I am going to try and sqeeze my size 20 butt into, should make

I spent ?6k today and never shed one tear!

No turning back for me now:biggrin: I paid for my surgery today Yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! I never hesitated for a second, one click and it was over, totally painless transaction. Now usually I'm not for spending money, but today log on, click, access , bang money gone! It was bloody marvellous... Couldn't have been more excited if I were paying for an around the world cruise with Brad Pit sharing my cabin!

I've finally done it!

I'd forgotten about this site; When I eventually stumbled across it again I was amazed to see that I originally registered way back in Nov 2008. 17 months ago to be precise;17 months of wasted time;17 months trying to convince my self that this time when I loose weight I'm gonna keep it off; 17 months of pill popping, 17months of powder slugging; 17 months of failure. I reached the grand old age of 49 in Feb and promised myself that I would not be fat and 50! In March I gained another 8lbs, des
