WOW been a few weeks since I have updated you. I have been busy and honestly too lazy! LOL

I am now up to week 5 this Thursday since my banding. I am doing really well. I have been eating normal food for about the past 2 weeks …. yes yes I know I should have been on mush BUT I couldn’t take it anymore. So after 2 weeks of liquids and a week of mush I ventured into normal foods.

I started with things like noodles and other soft foods. I really didn’t have a problem with normal food and adjusted really well. I have slowly been getting hungrier and hungrier and I can handle more food. Last night I had Pizza …. yes I know it is bad but I was at my Dad’s and he ordered it and it was that or starve! LOL So where normally I would eat 5-6 slices …. I ate 2 … I actually struggled to eat 2. So my appetite is reduced but it has gone from 4 fork fulls of noodles to 2 full slices of pizza. So it has increased in the past 2 weeks.

I have missed both my dietitian appointments! Slack I know! But this month like I said has been so busy. We have been to Canberra and to see my folks in NSW and now Marc is in the USA on a last minute business trip. I did however have a phone consultation and she gave me the rundown on starting solids LOL. I played dumb and listened. I was too chicken to admit I was on solids and had been for a week!

This week however is super exciting!!! I have a banding workshop and my first fill!!! YAY. I never thought I would be excited to be able to eat less, but I am!

So I will update again after the workshop, I doubt anymore will happen before then! Oh wait no … I am going to do a shirt term (4 month) goal post. I have decided to set myself a goal!

I will also weigh again on Thursday
