The Insatiable Hunger Monster Within

It's been 1.5 hours since I had 2.5ml pulled out of my band and I have eaten 6 pieces of sushi and 3 crackers with hommous and nearly a litre of water! It's like my hunger has returned with a vengeance...I don't remember ever being this hungry since I have been banded....and the joy of food going down without getting stuck or PB'ing is a joy.....I cannot believe the hunger returned so fast after having it out...like instantly...and I honestly had forgotten what this type of hunger felt like and that is scary....INSATIABLE

However, fingers crossed that I focus on eating well and make the best choices so that I don't gain weight. I am petrified of gaining and losing control.....this unfil is only going to be for 2 weeks and when I am back from the jungle I will be getting filled up again (although I may only go with 1.5/2ml instead of the 2.5 again) clearly I was too tight and it has affected my weight loss over the past month.

Needless to say, I lost nothing again last week...

My doctor has also asked if I would do a testimonial for his website.....I have so many great things to say, I just don't know how to put it into words for the site.....any suggestions?

As for the weekend, it was good.....I went out on Thursday night and even though it was a late one, it wasn't a huge one drinking...I didn't feel to bad on Friday. Then I went out to a place called *Global**Village* which is like a fun fair with lots of pavilions set up for each countries markets/bazaar/souk, selling gifts, clothes and food from that country. I grazed my way around tasting lots of delights, cheeses, shrimp balls, nuts, dates, honey, turkish delight....enough to fill a banded tummy over the course of the evening...I went out there for a purpose to buy a tagine for my friend...that was a mission and a half, but I found one in the end.

Saturday was spent catching up with a friend over a brunch (a proper eggs and coffee type brunch, not the overindulgence type normally found here), then some shopping and then a reflexology session. I won a voucher for 30 minutes at a quiz night and wanted to use it before it expired...it felt wonderful and relaxing! However, I somehow ripped the seat out of my new-ish jeans getting into the taxi and now have to try and buy another pair before I leave on Thursday. I am peed off as I have only had these jeans for 2 months, and seeing that I don't get the wear out of any of my pants since losing weight, it's an expense I can do without.

I am all packed and ready to go on my trip on Thursday night and I am super excited.
