The weekend has come , and gone already , working an 11 day fortnight is OK every other weekend ,but not this weekend :-( so after what seems a very short day today it's back to the grind tomorrow.
What a great week it has been, last Friday I was bloated , full of painful gas and feeling a little sore round the middle , however this week the pain and feeling of sickness has all but completely disappeared , I'm feeling almost fully fit and I'm even beginning to feel a little hungry (not sure if that good or not)...as all the bandsters out there can undoubtedly confirm 10 days of only liquids is quite a challenge....I can also say 10 days without certain other liquids is also not easy ;-) if you get the drift. I have been very good and I am quite proud of myself for resisting the amber liquid both on Wednesday and Thursday whilst in very very testing company....I have committed myself to stay away from beer and wine until the end of the month....ITS NOT EASY....
Next week beckons with a couple more social events to get through , however I already have a feeling of well being and a drive to lose a further couple of KG's by the month end that can carry me through these without to much trouble I'm sure....fingers crossed.
I do feel like the adventure and journey has now commenced...Hurrah....
I'm glad your getting back to normal Andrew!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it's going well and that you are feeling like the journey has officially started. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous, but looking forward to any good ideas you can pass on.
ReplyDeleteAndrew - I was banded on 2/12/10 - just a few days after you. Unlike you, my appetite has come back with a vengence. Keep blogging - this is really helpful.
ReplyDeleteum...i didn't stay away from wine until the end of 4 weeks...shhh...
ReplyDeleteYep, here comes Bandster Hell...love your positive attitude...blog your way through it and restriction will be back, I promise!!!
ReplyDeleteI found I couldn't 'obey' the liquids only for more than a few days. I found then (14 months ago) as now, that I kept testing it to see if I could eat more. Stupid. So getting restriction is key... You may need to try hard to resist the amber nectar if you want to lose weight other than slowly though... Just a thought.
