Thought I would update you all on what has been going on in my life in the last month or so. I have been very MIA on my blog! So here is a quick snapshot of my life and my banding life over the last month or so.

* I had a fill 3 weeks ago. He put 3mls on top of the 2.5mls I already had, I was told this was a lot in one hit and I was struggling a little to keep water down. But went away and decided to give it a few days. I ended up back at the surgeons office 3 days later because it was painful to eat and I was vomiting from just having built up saliva! So he removed 0.5mls and it’s been great!

* I am still not at that perfect point of fill. I have 5mls in my band now but feel I still need more. I am eating more than I would like to be eating. It’s really not a lot compared to what I used to eat but I feel it is more than I should be eating.

* I am due for another fill next week, but we are going away at the end of the month and I am worried something will happen while we are overseas. So I am not sure what to do … going to call today and talk to them about it.

* I turned 28 years old a few weeks ago! I hate getting older, the closer to 30 I get the more I hate birthdays. But they are a part of life and there is nothing we can do about them!

* I guess the biggest news is hitting 95kg! Which makes my total weight loss 20kg. I was 115kg at my heaviest. I am super happy to be at 95kg and I am amazed at the difference in the way I feel and how my clothes fit. When we went out for dinner on my birthday I was shocked to see how much skinnier my face is! It was a nice surprise and I actually liked the photos for the first time in a very long time!

* Only 2.5 weeks until our trip. We are off to the USA and Canada for 3 weeks and I can’t wait!

I guess that is really it, thought I would have more news than that but turns out I am pretty boring!
