After yesterday’s adventure in overexertion, I think I might take it a little easier today. There’s a lot to do indoors which I want to get done before I attack the mess which is our patio, and I *mean* mess. If it was even slightly better I’d post a picture. Maybe mess isn’t even strong … More A day in the life.

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.

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!!

Today, just as tired as ever. Headache, just as bad as ever. Hunger… well comes and goes actually.

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!!

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!

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

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
