Day 3, Week 3

This morning I cancelled my 'AM' appointments as I just couldn't face going out and if it wasn't for the fact that I would of been charged a cancellation fee I would of done the same for my LapBand appointment too. I dragged my butt out of bed at about 11am, (lucky for me the kids were happy enough to sit and watch a DVD), and then I pottered around doing a general tidy which is not something I usually struggle with doing but today felt like a major effort.  When I got home this afternoon my head was thumping and so I laid on the couch and Glenn did everything, I just couldn't motivate myself to get up and do it.  It wasn't until the kids went to bed that I was able to help him out with the dishes (whoo hoo big deal).  I have also been really snappy at people around me and I can't be bothered talking to or seeing anyone which again is not like me.  Anway my head is still pounding but at least I can open my eyes and so here I am sharing this useless boring information because for some reason I feel it is important somehow. 

LAPBAND ADJUSTMENT:

I told my Doctor about my lack of Calorie intake and that my body was in starvation mode and that on most days I purge all solid food and so she suggested that we take out .2ml's of fluid, which is only minimal but could make a huge difference.  She suggested that I aim for 1200 Calories as she felt that the RMR of 1600 was too high.  I asked about a dietician but she said that she is confident that I know what I should and shouldn't be having but that she would like to see a food journal (which I have been doing anyway).  I also asked about the 'pin scrapping feeling' that I have been getting under my skin near the port and she said that its the stitches/staples pulling on the muscle and to just be careful with anything that would aggrevate it eg. cruches, lifting - I just said OK!  So anyway I have another appointment in 2 weeks time to see how things are going.  My heartburn was the most of her concern so I need to pay attention to when I get it and if it is food related.  Oh she also said to try to eat when I am not stressed which she realised was easier said than done as my kids were running a muck in the room around us.

Oh, according to the scales today I weighed 85.5 which means that I lost 1.5kg since the last appointment which was on the 15th of Jan.  I told her that I had a feeling they weren't right because thats a 1.6kg discrepancy and the Wii, My Scales and the Gyms Scales can't all be out by that much surely.

Total Fluid in Band = 10.3ml.

That's enough for me today, I didn't exercise today obviously which now makes it 2 days in a row and I am feeling blah about that too.  Tomorrow I plan on making up for it with a Gym session in the morning and a Zumba Class in the afternoon.

So far I have managed to get just over 1000 calories so I am going to have a yogurt or something else before I go to bed to bump it up a little.  You can check out my Food/Exercise/Calories Diary HERE:  I am still not convinced about this eating to lose weight thing but I really have no choice unless I break my promise which is just something I don't do.  Gotta say I am shitty I ever made it!
