9 Weeks + 5 days post Lap Band

I just knew it.

I put on weight this week.

This is my first weight gain since being banded, and funnily enough I am not destroyed like I thought I would be, because I know exactly why I put on weight - quantity.

I need that fill.

I put on 1 and a half pounds. So I am still in my 'Low Zone' (i.e. the zone where I am below all slimmingworld losses).

So, yeah. Feel totally chill about it. I am just hungry. I am suprised at how quickly the need for more food comes on you. Strangely today I have not been that hungry. I have had cheese on toast and a WFF meal. Thats it. But then again when you think about it, if I have put on a little weight, then the band will be a little restricted again... albeit by really tiny amounts.

But I am booked in to see Dr. Clayson on thursday. I did ring up his secretary today and see if he had any cancellations, or if she could squeeze me in. I think she needs a holiday, or prozac, or both maybe.

Rather than the usual "Oh, I am so sorry, but Dr. Clayson is fully booked until next century - Maybe call back then?" I got "Well, I am VERY sorry, and I don't mean to be obstructive or anything, Huff, Puff, but I cannot POSSIBLY fit you in at such short notice. Huff. Puff. I mean, he is a very busy man and he is TOTALLY booked. You cant just get an appointment like that you know. Stress Huff Puff Stress!"

"Ok then, (sarcastic patronisation of harassed staff) don't you worry. Have a nice day though!"

Mmmm.

Note to self: Always book appointments at least 2 weeks in advance otherwise gives poor illiterate girl who works in an unimportant and banal office an aneurysm. (yes illiterate - she wrote me a letter a couple of weeks back that would have been hilarious except for the fact that these people are in control of my ... like... LIFE!)

GET OFF YOUR "MISS IMPORTANT" PEDESTAL - NO ONE BELIEVES YOU!

Oh, and ps... My Husband thinks that I should have put 'shave armpits' onto my list of things that I will be doing in 9 weeks. He forgets, obviously, that this is MY blog and I put everything that I wish to on it. Shaving armpits is not going to be happening anytime soon. Sorry darling!! HA HA
