Now, when I originally disappeared from blog land, it wasn't because I was doing badly, in fact I was at my lowest ever weight. First appointment at the OB I weighed in at 69kg (152 pounds!). At about 23wks I had some fluid out of my band, as I was having trouble eating anything really. I think the baby was squishing everything up! So I went down to about 5ml in my 10ml band.
This was the beginning of an upward swing in my weight, mainly due to me eating bread again. I spent a lot of time with people who didn't know about my band, and found I could eat like a normal person. Lesson here; just because I could, doesn't mean I should!
I left hospital with a 3.09kg (6pound 13ouncrs) baby, weighing 88kg (194 pounds). Eek! The next 8 months were not my finest when it comes to eating. A baby who didn't sleep much, lots of drive through, and plenty of just sitting on my ass has led to a final weight of 93.5 kg. argh!!!!!
So time to get it off. Back to band basics, but not 800 calories/day yet as I'm still breastfeeding and all sources tell me that would be a bad idea. I'm aiming for around 1500/day.
It's currently Day 2 of starting over and I'm feeling ok, but quite hungry at times. Think I will make an appointment to get some of that fill back in.
Anyway!! Enough for now. Sorry it's been so long!! Love to you all xoxo
