Finally

OMG!

Finally that freaking loan institution sent back the answer that yes it will loan the guy buying our flat up north. OMG I am ecstatic, I am driving up north super early tomorrow and finalizing the sale. Oh I feel like a ton of weight has been lifted, and now I can start being excited that we can buy a new place this fall.

TTT & weigh in

Day of surgery: 127 kg or 280 pounds 
Today: 108.5 kg or 239.2 pounds
Loss this week: -0.9 kg or -2.0 pounds
Total loss: 18.5 kg or 40.8 pounds

I am loving this new fill. 

Thanks to the lovely preggo Laura Belle we have this awesome creation TTT

1. I have lost 40 pounds since my surgery and 49.6 pounds since I was at my heaviest.

2. I am so tired, tonight is the second night shift out of four in a row, and the longest one is on Saturday (working till midnight)

3. Still no news on the sale of our flat, getting really annoyed.

4. Next week I will go up north and hopefully the sale will have gone through and I will be able to spend that time with my son on his soccer tournament.

5. My band is tighter in the mornings and I am lucky that I usually only have a protein drink for breakfast because even that seems to go down slowly, but by next meal I am fine.

6. My face is so dry, it is irritating my, if I try and use a BB cream or foundation it just looks like my face is scaly and shit.

7. Have I mentioned I am PISSED waiting for this loan to go through so we can sell our place. The loan thingy (its not a bank but most house loans go through them.) even demanded we get another agent to appraise our house and he came up with the same figure as the other one so I want this thing done like yesterday.

8. I am craving ice cream after reading a fellow bloggers post this morning.

9.Where is my summer?? it has not gone over 61°F, and there was even HAIL in a neighboring town yesterday. Its almost July for heck's sake bring the sun out and warm up this weather for me.

10. I am lazy, don't have to go to work till 16:30 so I am still in my nightgown refusing to get dressed haha

Midnight sun

It is just over 11 pm and the sun is still shining. It will not go down at all tonight SUPER AWESOME took this pix on my way home from work 30 minutes ago (I know no smile but I find I look weird when I try to smile for a selfie  and I was trying to concentrate on driving hahahaha

Got stuck

I got stuck yesterday morning and I was lucky it didn't really hurt but my gosh was I panicked. OK so I woke up super early to go to work, ate my breakfast and saw that I was getting late so I stuffed that lil last bite in and off I went to the kitchen, and then like the stupid idiot I am I took a small sip of juice and that motherf****r got stuck. Thankfully it went down in about 15 minutes without any major sliming or vomiting (I was most afraid of that) but I am not wanting to do that again, pain or no pain.

I was able to eat during lunch without any problems, but I have to admit I have been super aware of my band after that introduction.

I cant wait to see how this fill settles in, I thought I ate less yesterday but it will unfold in this next week. I had what I called chicken salad for lunch at work and I felt stuffed but when I look at the pictures that doesnt look like I ate much, that is a tiny plate btw hahaha

TTT & x-ray fill

Day of surgery: 127 kg or 280 pounds 
Today: 109.4 kg or 241.2 pounds
Loss this week: -0.7 kg or -1.5 pounds
Total loss: 17.6 kg or 38.2 pounds

The fill was OK I just got home from it. It was my first fill with the aid of x-ray. I was scared shitless but the stab itself was not painful but when he was messing with my port before that it hurt like I was in PAIN. But it was short lived and I am fine now. I was a bit timid when he said I was to receive a 0.5 ml fill because I thought it would be too much but I trust my surgeon and let the other doc do that so now I am at 6.5 ml in a 10 ml band. I cant wait to eat solids again tomorrow and see what I hope to be the perfect balance.

1. The sun is finally shining but it is still just over 10 °C or 50°F

2. I am tired of working this much but I will keep it up so I can get me some money honey

3. I want to hike that path again but will have to wait until mid July to have time for it.

4. Barium swallow is not that bad, I was prepared for it to taste awful but it was just OK

5. I want more clothes, this is bugging me because I am going to be a Scrooge and not buy any if I can help it.

6. I don't want to wait till tomorrow to eat solids, but it is what's best for my band so I will

7. Still not heard anything regarding the finalization of our sale on the flat up north.

8. I am so lazy these days, I have not even done my nails and it needs doing I tell ya

9. I am coming up short today so it'll only be 8 things Thursday

Happy independence day *updated*

I am getting ready to take that hike. I don't know how far I will make it but we will see. If the view is great I will post a picture here later today.

Update with pictures:

Oh that was exhausting but so awesome. I went as far as I could manange which was base 3 out of 6 with 7 being the top.

I wanted to quit after the first 3 minutes, because it was all up hill (well DUH! your hiking up a mountain you idiot!) But then I got this determination that I wanted to go at least to 2 and then I thought oh well it is not that far from 2 till 3 so I went that as well but OMG I could no more. When I started back down my legs were shaking with each step my muscles wanted no more of that.

 On the way, its straight ahead there

 Lots of greenery my first thought was I wanted to go above that and I did

View from the parking lot

 the view from somewhere round base 1

This was horrible to go up, there are steps to the left but they are so high my thighs HATE them now

View from somewhere near base 2, now you can see part of the capital 

 My awesome kid who had more faith in me that I did

 Better view of the capital

My kid at base 3

Myself at base 3, to exhausted to smile any more than that

Going back down

Apparently I forgot I was afraid of heights before starting this trip 

loved the scenery 

that's the calories burnt going up and down, burnt 110 more on the 15 minute drive home

Thought I would try out this sport tracker on my phone, too bad I didn't turn it on until like 10 minutes into the hike so the total time was more like 1 hour 20 min and about 4.8 km

This sport tracker is high I think either that or those paths are freaky

what the doctor said

Well my doctor has replied to my email last night. He thinks I should go get a slight fill and that means I will be getting it from someone other than him and that scares me but at the same time it is nice because that means it will be done with an x-ray so I or they will see the band and if stuff looks right. He also said he is not concerned about this discomfort / mild pain I have been having. And that he wants to look at that himself when he comes to Iceland in late August. This x-ray thing should ease my mind somewhat I think. I also kinda want to see stuff go down not sure if I can see it for myself.

In other stuff, it is very obvious that June 17th is fast approaching when you drop to the shops here. I will be home alone with the kid, my mother and my siblings are out of town and so is my bf. Me and the kid are hoping for a good weather so we can go for a short hike and then maybe try and grill some foal for our selfs mmmm hope I get good weather because I wont grill in the rain.
