Christmas

Dear all

Christmas has ben great full of fantastic comments... This time last year was so different... I'm sure you all know what I'm saying......

Pictures to follow....

:-)

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas One and All.......

Deflation

Hello Peeps

first allow me to thank you all for commenting on my post "to deflate or not to deflate".... Such a majority SHOUT out not to remove my restriction..... I do think that I asked the wrong question.... My surgeon (again this week when I had a fill).. want's me to remove my restriction for 1 month a year ONLY...... as this will remove the pressure on my stomach wall and allow the tissue to re-grow and therefore allow me to keep the band safer in the long run without the potential of the stomach wall growing thin and collapsing....any one else heard this ???

On a separate subject... I have achieved my target of BURNING 60,000 calories in exercise in 6 months... 2 weeks early... I feel great.....Whoot whoot.....

.

 

This weekend I played golf in the Yas Island invitational golf comp...picture above......I'm the one  in black...and no we did not win :-(

Christmas is coming and I think I can maintain this weight for the difficult week ahead .... WHAT a result...

MERRY CHRISTMAS friends......

To deflate or not to deflate

 Hello one and all...not much to report from the sand pit that is Abu Dhabi...weight loss this month is pretty much the same...bouncing around 30 to 32 Kgs.....I am finding it easy to maintain my weight but difficult to lose it..

The pictures attached are from the Dubai rugby 7's last weekend.... a fantastic sporting event where they host 40,000 (very drunk) rugby fans.... A magical day out and great fun...especially when England win :-)... I have been to the event on 9 out of the 11 years I have been in the UAE.                                      



I have booked a fill for Sunday... I have not had one since July and I do feel it is now required.... I  get stuck quite easily but I can also eat way to much and I am hungry......It has been a difficult decision to choose to get it done now rather than after Christmas........ fingers crossed. it will do the job

Now a question for ONE and ALL... after being banded for a year or more... will you have the band deflated/fluid removed for a short period of time to give your stomach a rest....my surgeon is recommending it... but I have not heard of it in BLOG land ... comment/suggestions please...is it needed?

Yada Yada Yada

Hello Peeps
