First Blog Ever.

Alright. So. I thought I'd give this blogging thing a go. So, here we go.

I had my post op appt with Dr Dolan today. Was very nervous - I'm not a fan of doctors. So, I wait patiently for him to call my name...when my name is called I follow the doctor into his office and he says "jump up on the scales then". So, obviously, I cringe, because I know it's not going to be pretty. Not as bad as I thought, to my suprise. So this band thing must really be working. "Well done", Dr Dolan says. "12kgs in 4 weeks - that's fantastic". I breath a sigh of relief. "But," he continues "you won't be losing the weight that quick anymore - it's going to slow right down now". FABULOUS, I think. Just what I wanted to hear! So, with all the pleasantries aside, he lays me down on the very uncomfortable table in his office, and sticks a needle in my stomach and then tells me I'm back on liquids for 3 days, and I've now got 4ml of fill in my band. Ugh, I tell you what, after having to live on soup for 2 weeks after the op, the last thing I want to be eating right now is soup. Especially when it feels like it's 45 degrees!

So, I had soup for dinner, while husband & child had home made pizzas. I feel good though. I really do. And I know it's going to be hard, but I've got fantastic support from my family & friends, and I've got this wonderful blog where I can vent all my frustrations now :)

Well, signing off from my very first blog.
