I’ve had better days than today. Yet again I didn’t sleep as well as I’d have liked but had an appointment with my therapist so for an hour unloaded all my issues onto her. She was really supportive, as you’d expect and seemed pleased I was doing my best to sort my life out having … More Not a Good Day
Went to see the GP to inform her that the cardiologist said I’m okay for both testosterone therapy *and* the gastric sleeve (not in order of importance to me), and also, to get a new supply of Ozempic at the 1 mg dose to keep me going until the operation. I’ve just called the Circle … More Yet Another Step Forward!
It was “Father’s Day” in Australia yesterday and I rather lost my head a bit because of it. It was pretty much a lazy day in some ways in that I did things I wanted to do that might not seem so important to anyone else. For example, I cleaned off the floor in my … More Father’s Day Treat
This leads me to my other big issue, the need for a real ‘cheerleader’. As I said in the last post, my wife intended to arrive in time to see the specialist after the test because she had a few questions she wanted to ask. Unfortunately, because I went in early she actually arrived just … More Where’s my Cheerleader?
I went to the Cardiologist yesterday filled with apprehension because I didn’t think my physical condition would make him reasonably confident I could stand the strain of the sleeve operation. Got on the treadmill and all bar ran for a couple of minutes whilst the EVG, BP etc. did their monitoring thing. Then, off to … More We’re on the starting line!
Today’s the day I find out if I can have the operation or not. At 11:00 I have to go to the Cardiologist’s office to have a ‘stress test’. The test involves getting wired up with ECG wires and being made to walk on a treadmill. They start it up, and I walk, faster and … More The next step.
Just a quick post to mention something I’d totally forgotten and had to be reminded of by my daughter. I was due to have my Ozempic injection on Wednesday and hadn’t had it yesterday either… until last night. I think that even tho I’ve mentioned how much the effect of the Ozempic has helped me … More Well now… !
Wonderful day today. I’m just as bad now as I was two days ago. I feel like I joined “The Munch Bunch”. I just can’t stop eating. Tomorrow I’m going to keep out of the house as much as I can to try to reset my mind into the diet mindset, tho, again, it’s another … More Down a hole? Keep digging 😦
For one reason or another, I ate way too much yesterday. I think perhaps I was ‘stress-eating’ again. I’ve decided that what stress eating does is fill the stomach to the state in which you feel ‘safe and secure’, and then, to keep that feeling, you keep eating, picking and grazing through the day, never … More … one step back.
I should have made the weight table up when I first started this diet to keep an eye on how well or badly I was doing to try to keep myself on track. Even tho I didn’t start until a couple of days ago I think it’s already doing its job in reminding me that … More Weight and see!
