November at last!

I had many hopes for this month, seeing as it is my birth month with a milestone birthday nonetheless coming up...

However, I am at the same weight I was one month ago and October has gone by with putting on weight and then losing it. Ups and downs, ups and downs. Very tiring.

My surgeon may be coming over to give me another fill but the manufacturer of my band believes it has been placed wrongly and that is why it is not working. My options are to go to Belgium for tests and possibly new surgery or stay here and just take each day at a time never expecting any big surprises.

I am so fed up with throwing up. It is a regular occurence. This points to the band being too inflated and restricting the passage of food. However, the ability to eat large quantities is still present, so that contradicts the first supposition. I am confused.

To make things worse, I developed some sort of a visual migraine since yesterday. I had two episodes so far, losing my sight. The second episode lasted a lot longer than the first. I talked to my GP (family doctor) and he thinks I need to see the optician and if things do not improve go to him for a check up. He said it could be anything really - even a virus! Very distressing.

Till now I had the ability to load the baby in the car and take off when I felt too miserable - even if it was just going to the supermarket down the road. But with visual migraines, driving is a no-no. My first instinct is to just ignore it. I am so tired of being ill all the time. If it is not one thing, it is another. I have had enough.

Anyway, last night I was sorting the new pics and realised that I do look a lot slimmer. Here are two pics to prove that and to keep my morale up.
