The Barrium swollow test

for those of you who wasnt happy with the taste of certain shakes pre band! I have finally found a drink that tastes worse... That would be the Barrium that you get to have in the "Barrium Swollow" its a test done for those of us who may of had a slipped band. It involves drinking a "plaster like drink" while they are doing the xray and seeing if it goes through. ! I must say I found it kind of cool that i could see the xrays and the freaky implant in my body! (its definatly in there thats for sure!! I need to have a few other tests next week but Im hoping all is well. I am still in the 90's and really wanna get into the 80s!!AHHHHHH!

My New Weight (goal under 90kg buy my Birthday in a month)

Fill taken out

I went and got some fill taken out and i feel so much better. I had 1 wheat bix this morning and no reflux. The good news is i lost 2.3kg (5lbs approx) in a week so Im now 94.3kg so its a total of around 37.2kg loss in 9months... I still want to get another 20-25 kgs off just to get me to around 70-75kg! I feels great to think that 20 is not that much... well it is for many but Ive had 50-60 to loose and Im over half way there which is nice. Im not a big fan of over fills they put the band into perspective and make you remember that its is actually in there. I tried the other day it needs to be replaced and I hope that that is nt going to happen for another 30 years!!! I think i could only manage one lapband op in a lifelime 2 if need be. Life with the band has been good the changes I have made in my life come with the good and bad and sometmes i think was it all worth it. Its great feeling free, which is how I feel but it has changed my way and who I am now a little bit. I have a lot of saggy bits nothing that makes me look really bad but something I really would like to fix when i get to 70kg! My arms and legs bother me and my breast and tummy have a little skin yuckiness. Anyway my week with the band has sucked!! but i did loose weight LOL!! and thats the main thing...
