To begin, I have to go on a pre-op diet. As far as I know right now, this is mainly a liquid or puree based regime designed to cut as much fat from around my internal organs as possible to make it easier for the surgeon to operate. I won’t know the exact nature of … More What do I expect about the Op?
No, not expand my girth, but the posts I add. Initially, the blog was intended as a place to vent about everything I disliked about society in general, and what currently grinds my gears. However, since I restarted posting I’ve focussed almost entirely on my attempt to finally address my weight issues and become a … More Should I expand?
I was whining in the last post about the pain I experience when exercising, and in the post before about the lack of weight loss I’m experiencing… or not. While complaining seems to be my thing at the moment, not everyone is happy about the constant whine. To this end, one of my daughters sent … More What doesn’t kill you…
I lead a quite sedentary life. I sit at the computer most of the day because my hips and back can’t cope with the weight they carry and I really can’t walk far. Even at home when I try to do housework I can only move around for five to ten minutes before I have … More And now for a little exercise.
Back on July 30th, I was congratulating myself on having dropped to 153.3 kilos. I weighed today and had gained weight. According to the same scales, I’m 153,8 kilos. I really have no idea how this has happened. I’ve been restricting my calorie intake and making sure I have plenty of water to help metabolise … More Ok… something’s wrong!
I’ve been exercising by going swimming. Well, I actually walk up and down the pool to get more strength in my legs by pushing against the water after all, the more calories expended the better. However, what I *didn’t* intend was to forget to take my phone out of my pocket before I got in. … More A slight change in communication
Just a quickie today. I’m wondering if I can manage to follow a real ‘fast’. I already eat nothing between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am (i.e. 12 hours), but I’m wondering if I could extend it to lunchtime, which is around 1:00. (i.e. 18 hours). I’ve never done this before so could easily fail, tho … More And for my next trick…
I sound mostly positive, but I *have* had several problems I’m yet to fully deal with. One of them is that my family have been helping me by cooking for me. As lovely as this is from one perspective I *really* need to control my own calorie intake or I’ll just fall apart again. Oddly, … More Drawbacks
It’s been a real up-and-down week with a few highs, but maybe more lows. The Ozempic is doing its job but for various reasons, most of which I don’t understand, I’ve been feeling really unwell and even so dizzy I fell down! Didn’t do any permanent damage, i.e. no broken bones, but it really shook … More Just a few things to say
Just a short update this time because the daughter found a small recipe idea on TikTok and knocked it up for lunch. Pretty much it was a burger (made from minced meat and seasonings) flattened into a ’round’ about ¼” thick, fried and placed on a multigrain (lower calorie, high fibre) tortilla that had also … More What’s for lunch?
