Questions

I have a few questions to answer...


Kym asked - when I went for dinner on Saturday night, did I eat?
Yes and no. I tried a tiny amount of ravioli at entree and it went down so I tried a little bit more with sauce and it got stuck. I had a quick trip to the toilet and after that just made conversation and drank water & a little wine. When mains came I knew the chicken breast wouldn't go down but the cous cous did so I just a wee bit of that and it was fine. By the time deserts came I was able to eat the miniature cheesecake and ironically it went down. The entire courses took about 2 hours from entree to dessert so it was timed perfectly for me.


Honestly, I didn't NEED to eat. I had a bite to eat before I went and a shake with my tablets crushed into it so I was physically full and satisfied.


I know how bizarre that sounds to someone who used to diet flat out. "But you NEED to eat". Technically yes, for nutrients. Trust me when I say I eat more nutrients now than I ever did eating 2 Hungry Jacks or Mcdonalds or KFC meal deals a day. It may be in liquid or multivitamin form but I'm getting them. 


Tracy from my work asked today "What do you do about clothes?" 
I am not ashamed to admit I get most of my fabulous clothes from second hand shops. Not sure what they are like in the rest of the world but the ones I go to - the clothes are freshly laundered and ironed/steamed and in brilliant condition. I may do a post on some of the incredible bargains I've picked up recently. I also get some from my best friend Meg.


That reminds me, I need to 'pay it forward' and donate some of my bigger clothes. 


Random man at dinner on Saturday asked "What is the one thing you haven't missed"
Softdrink. I have had approx 3 drinks of softdrink/soda since having the band. I just find it uncomfortable most days to get it down but more than that - I just don't crave it like I used to. That's coming from someone who used to drink up to 3 litres/day. 


Ian at dinner on Saturday night asked "Don't mean to be a rude bastard, but what about the flapping skin and stuff?"  
I resemble a melted candle. But then I did each time I lost weight in the past cept now I have two baby bellys to add to that stretched mix. I know what I'd rather have. Flappy skin over heart disease anyday! There isn't even a chocie. 
When the day comes I will probably chose to have a tummy tuck. After c sections the muscles there are just beyond repair.


A friends husband "Whats the go with the sex life now? Better cause ya skinny?" 
*blinks* I'm not skinny, but I am skinnier. Now, my mother & family read this blog and I respectfully decline details but yes - it's amazing.  My lingerie choices have opened up a whole new world to myself and Mr Bandit. That's all. :-)


Is there anything you'd like to ask? No holds barred. Go ahead.
