I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I’ve been making a good start getting myself used to the new diet. The OptiFast order arrived so I’m having a ‘protein shake’ for breakfast, a salad for lunch and a Lite n Easy meal for dinner. So far I’ve managed to restrain myself from eating ‘snacks’ and I seem to be moving along slowly … More Moving along
As I said in the previous post, Dr Brancatisano told me I must lose at least 10 kilos before he’ll even consider me as a candidate for the Gastric Sleeve surgery. Obviously, I’ve made a start. I ordered a lot of OptiFast shakes and soups and dinners by Lite n Easy but until they arrive … More Starting on the path: the diet begins
Hopefully, the current diet will be the last before the operation and the chance of finally losing weight. I’ve done a lot of research regarding the pre-op diet, and the post-op diet but this post is about the initial 10 kilos I have to lose before the main event. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been … More Preparing to diet once again
As I’ve said before, I’m grossly obese and very uncomfortable. The excess weight has caused me many problems, and my ability to lose it is quite obviously totally lacking. This being said, it means there are very few options left for me. I’ve often said that I can resist anything… except temptation. So having tried … More Weight loss and surgery
The question ‘where’, is something that needs to be addressed. The answer will obviously be quite complex so I’ll pass on a bit of personal history regarding my weight issues. I was told I was ‘fat’ from my youngest days. I was born back in 1947 just after WW2 when the UK was still suffering … More Where did the weight come from?
I doubt many people who know me will ever find this site so I’ll start off by describing my home situation, and my physical condition as they are currently. So… I’m male, 75, and a Welsh ex-pat who migrated to Australia, to New South Wales (to be more specific). I’ve been married for 40+ years … More Starting point: the why’s and wherefores
Not been on the site for a while… yet again. It’s possible blogs have gone the way of all flesh and instead of being the brave new internet world we thought, they’ve just returned to being public ‘online diaries’ as they were originally. What’s new for me, is that I’m working towards getting bariatric surgery … More Ok, another new start
Yet again I wrote several magnificent blog posts… in my sleep… and forgot them entirely when I woke up. I hear some people, musicians and novelists particularly, seem able to wake themselves up, make notes, and go back to sleep again so that when they wake properly they have a notion of what it was … More Damn… forgot again!!
It’s sad to say this, but it’s time for the Australian Opinion forum to go the way of all obsolete sites. There is so much wrong with it, and so few people there, it’s really become an anachronism. I suppose if it had a distinct purpose, e.g. following a specific game or genre, it might … More Goodbye AO. 😦
I got an offer from the Audible “talking book” people offering a large reduction in first year payments if I sign up again. Can’t say I’m too eager to join because I just don’t seem to have a lot of time to read. I’ve been playing MMORPG’s like World of Warcraft and Rift lately which … More ‘Thinking of Audible… again.
