rough day
Today hasnt been so good. I’m not getting much sleep… sorta 3 hours at a time. Today I had a shower and felt all faint, went and laid down and snoozed and felt better. managed to get down some yoghurt, and if i lie on my back on the couch I feel alot better. Hopefully…
The day before
Well, I had to go and give a few pints of blood, just in case they need to give me a transfusion. For anyone interested here is an article on the surgery: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve) – Future of Weight Loss Surgery So, I will have my mobile on me, and you can text…
countdown to d-day
well, its 4 days till surgery now. Its getting harder and harder to stick to the optifast, I am just craving a big feed of steak or something. Tuesday morning at 7am I am going in to get the chop. I hope Catherine (I think that’s the surgeons name… or is it surgeoness? I have…
End of Week 3
Well, freaky… only 8 days to go to surgery.. tuesday week I am in.. Its been a real struggle, i’ve been exhausted.. I’ve done so much damage to my lower legs due to things hitting them and so forth. I’ve been deathly afraid of infection preventing me from getting the surgery. However, they seem healed…
End of week 2
Righty, week 2 has ended. Still cant really be weighed at home… Measurement change is: stomach: 156cm > 154.5 = this week, 1.5cm, total loss of: 5cm Neck: 53 > 52.25 (this is odd as my neck has been 52/53cm since I was like, 20). Everything else stayed the same. This week its been very…
Day 12
At least I think it is. Been fairly good today, no hypos, shifted 2 cubic meters of wood. Took a chunk of skin off my leg, but its all bandaged up and antisepticised. Getting an infection in my leg now would be a massive bummer… Still a bit grumpy and stuff, but the desire to…
End of week 1
Right, its now the first day of week 2, and so here’s a stat update. Neck: 53cm > 53 cm = 0 cm Chest: 154.5 cm > 153 cm = 1.5 cm down. Wrist: 21 cm > 20.5 cm = 0.5cm down. Bicep: 47 cm > 46 cm = 1 cm down Stomach: 159.5 cm…
ooops
Well, today is day 5, not the other day when I said it was day 5. I blame the lack of food. So, a few hypos in the last few days, mostly down to me not taking meds at the right time, and not eating at the right time. So I reckon if I can…
Fifth Day update
Well, today was day 5, I think. I was busy out and about but I made it ok without too much stressing about what I was to (or not to) eat. Yesterday I went to th zoo for about 4 hours with my daughter, which was awesome, and I didnt have too much problem. I…
Weightloss Journey day 2
Well, day 2 of the first week of optifast. Man, talk about a killer, it is REALLY hard to just eat shakes, a piece of fruit and a handful of veges each day. I have to admit I cheated today, and I had 3 Oporto Nuggets, and a small fries (it is VERY small.. like…
Ok, Now we’re moving.
Its 3 minutes past midnight, so I officially start my one month of Optifast shakes today. According to the bypassers mailing list, this is actually the hardest part, 4 weeks of nothing but milkshakes and a handful of veges. Its also kinda scary because it means that I am close to getting the chop now.…
