from liquids to mushies

So on about Friday/Saturday last week, 7 or 8 days after my band was put in I noticed that I had a lot of freedom, I was able to have an Up n Go in about a minute and found myself getting hungry like in the "old days".

I had my dietician appointment last night and before I could even tell her that was how I was feeling she told me first thing in the meeting that I would be feeling hungry etc, she knew all my feelings before I even told her.

She moved me to mushies last night. After 11 days of not eating I can finally eat. So I had a runny mashed potato for dinner last night and it felt great.

I had my weekly weigh last night and I am down 3.3kgs since last monday. The weight loss is starting to slow down now.

I am still learning as well, I sometimes begin to eat or drink like I did pre-lap band. That is a no go. But today I haven't had any bad experiences.

My other challenge is meal sizes, Although I was full last night after dinner i could have eaten more, I didn't feel like more as I was satisfied but I still had a feeling in the back of my head that I could have eaten more, that is the old me, I need to stop thinking like that, once I am satisfied that is enough, I don't need to feel like I am about to explode before I stop eating.

I must keep reminding myself that the lap band is merely a tool, it is not a miracle cure.


I have a follow up with the surgeon this week.

I will report next week with my weight, hopefully there will be another loss!
