Yukky....

I have a stomach bug. It sucks. Thankfully I am not throwing up- band and throwing up aren't very good together. So I've been in bed all day sleeping and drinking water. I need to get better. I have so much to do this wasn't part of my plan! Thanks preschool for the germs! Lol.
Yesterday I went and got a fill. Dr Fill put in .4 mls to take my fluid amount up to 5.7 mls. We are getting their me thinks-close to being at the right spot. The results from my biopsy were also through. I asked him to tell me. Apparently I don't have Coeliac. It's very confusing because the blood test showed a positive result. So I am getting my wonderful surgeon to call me next week and tell me what I am meant to be doing now. I am thinking that I will stay away from foods like pasta and bread and find alternatives.
So today there has been no food except for a single Cruskit. That didn't work so well so I'm staying away from foods until tomorrow and I will see how that goes. Hopefully this is just a 24 hour thing.
Mum did point out today that I haven't really rested since biopsy. I worked extra this week and have been busy planning the programming for preschool next week. I am doing a lot. I need to have time to myself. Lesson learned.
Starting gym next Thursday, plan is to do a class thurs, fri, sat and sun. I won't start off with that many because I'll probably be too sore. Lol. Don't want to kill myself!!
The biggest news though is the scales.........
99.2! Being sick pays off!! I am so so so so happy. It's the lowest weight I've been on this journey so far- never gotten to 99.2- its always been 99.9! So I was able to put my next charm on my bracelet- two koi fish in the shape of a heart. So next goal is to get below 95. Hoping to do that in a month. With gym and watching food hoping that will happen.
Off to bed (again for the 6th time today). Have a lovely Sunday my cyber friends.

Home from Hospital

Hey guys,
Got home this morning at 10 am. Can't believe it- it was sooo quick! Will post my story on my Coeliac blog later on today- so please check it out.
I have added a comparison photo for my 5 months since banded. I promise to now do one every month. Wanna hear your comments. Please disregard how shocking I look- dirty hair and no make up. I was going into hospital people!! Lol.
Off to have a nana nap. I am very very tired.
Nighty for now... will post later. And don't forget to check out my other blog!!

Tomorrow is the day!!

So.... tomorrow morning at 5.30 am I will be up and getting ready for my biopsy. I have to be at the hospital at 7 a.m. Yes, early. Hoping to be out by lunch time though.... Will be buying magazines to keep me entertained!!
I am doing ok nerves wise... I was worse last night I think. I will try and get some sleep tonight so I am well rested and relaxed in the morning.
Tomorrow is a big day not only for the biopsy... but it will be 5 months since I was banded. Boy has life changed. I think I will post tomorrow when I come home about how differently I feel about my life now, but I think people who have read most of my entries will know that it has been massive in such a short space of time.
I had a medium come and give readings at my 21st party on Friday night and he said that he knew there were big changes happening in my life. Its so incredible. I love my band. I love my band.

Will report back tomorrow with all the juicy details... and will try to remember to take photos for a comparison shot....

Take Two!

After a simply wonderful 21st party last night I jumped on scales to reveal.....................
99.9!!!!!!!
Wonderful! So happy!
Everything seems to be alligning well for me right now.
Yesterday I had MAJOR family dramas resulting in my sister moving out/being kicked out. Of course it had to happen on the morning of my party. So since then food and me arent so great. I had no issues yesterday but I didnt really eat much, stuck to yummy mocktails last night. Today I tried some Jatz but it didn't work at all. Was stuck then pb'ed them. So more of the liquids today again instead of food. We had a lot of party food left over. But I honestly don't feel that need to eat it like I used to. It doesn't excite me. In fact, I feel gross when eating it.
We had such a great time last night that I forgot to take ANY photos or cut my cake. They didnt even get to see it!! So I have a WHOLE "21" cake in my fridge. Great! Might take it to work for the kiddies on Monday....
So can't post any photos on my blog of the party and how awesome I looked in my dress (hehehe) but I will post some more of myself soon. I put my dress on last night and got very teary when I looked in mirror and said out loud "its very weird when you can finally look at yourself and not hate what you see looking back". It was a very beautiful moment. Hoping to wear dress again soon. If not, I'll whack it on and get all fancy and take pics just to show you! Lol.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. If you look at my ticker you'll see that its not too long until I'm back in hospital for my biopsy. My new blog with Sami is all about my Coeliac disease but will post about it on here though too. Diet will be completely changing as of Tuesday. Will be very interesting!
Thanks Myf for comments on my photo gallery. The comment that most struck me and will stick with me for awhile was the one about how I looked "less haunted" YOU ARE SO RIGHT. And I've never looked at it before like that. My quote I've been longing for to be true of myself now is:
"Not only is another world possible, but she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing".

New

New photos up of me and my trip away!
Next few days I will add photos of my pandora reward bracelet, HOPEFULLY a photo of me once again getting under 100, a photo of me 5 months banded on the morning of my biposy (Tuesday) and a comparison photo to see how far I've come!
Party is tonight! Looking forward to it very much! Hopefully I will be able to have a few drinks and not get completely trashed!
No win at netball tonight. But I did get told that I was doing really well and running alot and should try "centre"....my response- AH NO! Lol. Not ready just yet. My back is playing up (had a bulging disk two years ago) and hopefully next week I can go to my amazing masseuse and get that fixed. I want to start gym next week as previously stated so I don't want this to get in the way!
Weighed in this morning at 100.4. So I'm getting there again!
Hope everyone enjoys there friday!

New blog baby!

Yo yo yo!
The wonderful Sami and myself have started a new blog up about our battle with Coeliac diease.
http://glutenfreegals.blogspot.com

Please go check it out, its fairly new so cut us some slack! Lol. All supportive comments are welcomed, and of course, comments on here are also very helpful and groovy!!

Thanks for your comment Myf- I KNOW i need to stop beating myself up over the scales. And I KNOW i need to live life instead of living on scales. Thanks for that. I will make sure I do it.
One week left of eating whatever I like until no more. I am really excited to be honest with you. There will definately be a weight loss! Sweeet! And gym starts up Monday which I'm also surprisngly looking forward too!

Back and bigger

Had a wonderful weekend away. Ate more than I think I should! And the scales agree- I'm 101.4! Oh no!
Next Tuesday I have my biopsy for Coeliac diease. So after that I am ok to eat gluten free. Me and the wonderful Sami (check out her blog) are going to do it together and hoping to drop the kilos in the beginning really quickly.
I am going to be writing up mini goals in the next few days for everyone to see. Hopefully I can kick my butt into gear with the exercise too when I get the next two weeks over with- I am so swamped!
Anyone know how to drop 1.5 kilos quickly? That would be super, thanks!
