Feeling Poorly, But Less Portly

When I went to bed last night I felt a little nauseous but passed it off as perhaps having eaten either a) too much or b) something that disagreed with me/the band. I haven't felt much better today and have just got up from a lovely two-hour nap - just me and the hot water bottle - while hubby took care of the small boy.

When I saw my surgeon for the fill I asked him what would happen if I ever needed to vomit. He basically said it wouldn't happen from my lower stomach as the band acts as a physical barrier, therefore everything that needed to come out would just have to come out the other end. I guess that's what's happening to me now. I think without the band I would have been able to throw up and perhaps would have felt better much more quickly, but such is life!

And on a brighter note - the scale rewarded me again this morning:

17st 1lb - 239lbs - BMI 39.8 (nice to be down into the 230s)
That's 23lbs in total.
It's looking increasingly like I will get my wish of being '16 stone-something' in time for small boy's first birthday on the 20th. And as my tummy upset has left me with no appetite, it could happen sooner than expected.

    I hope you feel better soon! I hope you feel better in time for your son's birthday! 20th definitely seems reasonable for getting whatever it is out of your system, though.

    Congrats on the weight loss. I started to vomit this morning but only brought up the stuff that would be in my band. I guess your doc is right that the band would keep all that other crap in the lower stomach. I am afraid though that something moved although they say they stitch it in.

    Hope you feel better soon. Yeah for March birthday's (mines the 15th)
