It's just so easy to get lazy and complacent.
At least when it comes to weight.
Maybe it's just me.
I lost an oodle of weight in the first 18 months after having my lap band put in and was determined to go ever downwards until I was a whippet of my former self. But I hit a speed bump in the last year.
In August last year I tore my port off my abdominal wall and possibly suffered a small band slip post-tear. This has meant I have not been able to have any fills and have ridiculously irratic restriction. Consequently, I have occasionally ate really well and exercised but more often than not I have eaten in a terribly liberal fashion. Added to this copious numbers of mojitos and flutes of champagne, it is any wonder it was going to be a fight to lose weight or at the very least keep it stable (which I almost have!).
Since the tear I have also been unable to do a number of yoga/pilate moves, do serious sit ups or do any exercise that requires me to brace my abdomen.
So I am booked for surgery on the 30th July.
It will be a time to start over again .. find that initial enthusiasm and shave off this last 14kgs.
