Well, I *am* a bit of a slack alice, not been on for ages! Mind, I've been really busy with real life stuff - preparing my fellas house for going on the market, psyching myself up to prepare my own house, then crashing my new (to me) car that I'd only had less than 24 hours - these things are sent to try us, eh?
Anyway. I'd kinda been stuck at a plateau for a while, at around 12 st 01 lb. But went for a mini fill last Monday (18th Mar), I'd actually *gained* 0.2 ml, but it looked as if my band had slipped a little bit - not too much and not enough to cause problems, but it's there. The doctor asked me if I remembered something specific - like a coughing fit or something, and I didn't. It wasn't 'till my mum reminded me about me dragging a double mattress up a flight of stairs, unaided, that I related it to anything. I can't say I remember "pulling" anything, but I have to accept that maybe I can't do everything that I used to, and that it'd be a shame to waste the £8,000 I paid for this op, just by being silly. I'll wait for help next time....
Anyway, since the fill, I'm trying really hard again. Back to low fat yoghurts and soups, although I'm also having them with textured food too. I've managed to lose 3 lbs this week (which is amazing), and I'm going to try for another 3 or 4 this week. I'm dying to keep going now. I've come to the conclusion that my platueaus are definitely when I start letting bad habits creep back in again.
I'm making sure I drink 2 lts water every day - and I think this (strangely)is working!
Anyway. Been buying myself losts of new jeans from Next - in size 14! Woohoo! Can't remember the last time I wore size 14's! Must have been about 1993... All my old clothes have been "taken in" as much as they can, all my smallest clothes from years ago are now too big - so a spending spree was necessary. They'll have to make do for a while now, though.
My BMI is now in the 20's - 29.something at the moment, I'm at 65% of my excess weight loss (EWL) and have gone from size 20/22 to a size 14. And the comments still keep coming!
Wish me luck - I want to get into the 9 stones - even if only 9 stone 13lbs - so I have another 2 stone to go. Gonna just do it a ½ stone at a time.
WEIGHT: 11 st. 11 lb.
