  1. Just A Quick Update

    · lilbrigy · 10/13/2012 14:31

    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

  2. First Social Outing

    · lilbrigy · 10/13/2012 00:36

    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

  3. Week One Down !!!!

    · lilbrigy · 10/11/2012 11:48

    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
