Short update.

Decided to celebrate my weight loss by taking the dog for a walk to the local regional park. The daughter brought her dog along so off we went. I made the really clever decision that we should exercise my legs by going on the longest route up a hill and with no shade of seating … More Short update.

Ooh… nice!!

So today, as usual, I check my weight again because I usually use my Sunday record as my ‘measure point’, and I’m down to 148.8 kilos. This would mean a kilo drop since yesterday. Obviously, this is because my digestive system is functioning properly again (at last) and probably includes some water loss as well. … More Ooh… nice!!

And on we go…

Today, just as tired as ever. Headache, just as bad as ever. Hunger… well comes and goes actually. I had a really late breakfast, and not long after had two fried eggs, fried tomatoes and a couple of small slices of cheese. Too much? Well yes, obviously. However, I followed it up with… nothing! Actually, … More And on we go…

Here we go again!!

Ok, we’re off again! New scales arrived yesterday and I was able to weigh again this morning (which is when I record my weights). They showed I’ve started dropping again now down to 149.7. Not a massive drop, but a drop nonetheless and means I’m further on my way towards the weight I was supposed … More Here we go again!!

Exhaustion Rules!

I’ve been so tired these past few days I can’t sleep! Bit of a paradox I know but it’s true all the same, or certainly feels that way. I get to bed around 9:30 – 10:00 at night, then wake several times through the night and find it hard to drop back off. Then I … More Exhaustion Rules!

Vitamins and Food

Decided to order some ‘Bariatric Vitamins’ from the US because I feel I should be sure I’m getting sufficient nutrition into my system both before and after the operation! They aren’t cheap ($50) but if they work… might be useful. On a theme, I made a bit of a mess of the diet already. I … More Vitamins and Food

So, Monday

It’s the 12th Sept so just 17 days to go and it’s creeping up ever faster. Still a bit ambivalent because of my seeming able to adhere properly to the pre-op diet. Yesterday was a good indication of how I might manage. I started off with a CSIRO shake using up the 250 ml of … More So, Monday

What a weekend!

Friday was okay, Saturday, I was sick as a pig, Sunday, I was slightly better but not as well as I could be. Anyway, I ate way too much on both days so I really need to pull myself together… yet again. In addition, my weighing scales decided to finally give up so had to … More What a weekend!

Sick.

So this morning I was feeling really good, ok I’d not lost any weight but it was ok because I was going to get right back into it… positive, positive, positive!! And then… … and then I increased my water intake by drinking 900 ml of water out of a bottle my daughter had left … More Sick.
