9 Weeks 4 days (- Day 67!)

Wow, just out of curiosity I worked out how many days it is since my band... I was counting in days at first... and now its a whopping 67 Days since I had my Lap Band Weight loss surgery.

That's quite a lot. I can remember wondering what it would be like to be me right now all those months ago.

so, for the benefit of posterity, I will write a few random thoughts about what its going to be like to be me in... say another 9 weeks. Yeah!

Right then. This is not an "I want to be... " list. This is a "I think I will be... " list. And yes, there is a difference.

So. In 9 weeks time (24th June 2007), I think I will be:
1.) Tanned
2.) Shaving my legs regularly
3.) Have hair an inch longer
4.) Be eating slightly smaller portions than I can today
5.) Had my third fill
6.) Dropped another 9 pounds taking my weight to 15 stone 11 and a half pounds (221.5 lbs)
7.) Dropped another clothes size

So there you go, my secret 7 "think" list.

I will check on the 24th June and see if I am right. This is after our 2 week holiday in Sri Lanka. Now this time last year I would have predicted quite the opposite of the above secret 7 "think"'s.
I always put on weight on holiday, I have had various weapons in my arsenal to fight the flab, but this year I have the nuclear bomb of all weight loss tools. Oh yeah. I can feel the skinny coming on me already!

Well, its Weigh bridge day again tomorrow. I still get worried. These scales do seem to run our lives, but I think I have been more positive inside this week. I am planning to keep working at my band positivity and confidence because it is a thing I greatly lack. I lack those things in most everyday things too, but I can't feel negative or insecure about my band. It hasn't let me down yet. I really love it.

I remember the week before I went to see Dr. Clayson last time to get my first fill, I felt exactly the same. I felt like I needed to get on that couch as soon as humanly possible. I couldn't stand it if I gained weight. However, I am not quite so anxious this time, and I am looking forward with dread at the thought of fluids again for 4 days. BOOOOOooooo HOOOOoooooo, but its worth it. Every penny.

Oh yeah. I just remembered that my cost calculated by pounds is not totally accurate because it doesn't take into account the cost of the fills. I only calculate it on the cost of the operation. However, if I was extremely anal then I would have no end of calculating to do, like less cooking costs and less food costs. Dear me. it would be a never ending accounting nightmare. So as I am not anal (honest) I am just going to do the easy thing and divide the cost of the operation by how much I have lost. Cool.
