Week 5 Post Op - I want more losses!

End of Week 5 Post Op and I seem to be doing ok. I gained 400grams however I weighed myself on Saturday cos I wanted to know that this time next year I can say I was ..... So that technically means I lost 500grams. So I am now 125kg even. I think I’m trying to remember what Wii Fit said this morning.

I think I’m doing well, I’m loving the mushy stage just had Baked Beans for dinner; I really want to feel a restriction though. I want to know that with a small amount of food I am full and couldn’t possibly eat anymore. Well I will have to wait until 28 July and hope that they will give me a fill. Although even if I do lose 4kg in that time I’ll be happy with that. I think I need to start writing a food diary and I will do that when I start solids I need something that I look at and monitor although I do spend most of my time online I’m hoping there might be some online one that is free.

Nothing else to report really – my house is going to settle in 17 days, it’s my partner’s birthday next week and I have to think of something to get him. Why are men so hard to buy for? I will weigh myself again on Thursday and see how I am going; I really hope to get less than 125kg I do not want to see another gain. I so really want to get less than 120kg!

First Post Op Appointment

Why is it that when you make appointments no one is ever ready for you? I spent about 5 minutes with Dr Kow, she just checked out my where she cut into me and asked if I am ok to exercise. I said Yes to this obviously, anything to keep my weight loss progressing and I didn’t lie I am ok to exercise. So I am all booked in to do their 6 week exercise thingo with a therapist first appointment is 6 August. I am allowed to head back to the gym but I have to take it easy. I am so going to the gym tomorrow morning I wonder if I’ll be able to get myself up like I used too.

I also saw Nick the Dietician, he was impressed with my weight loss, and he said I’ve lost 13kg since March woohoo, just wait til I’m in the gym hahaha. The scales at the clinic said I’m 125.5kg! He gave me an eating plan for when I start solids on the 6 July. It seems alright hopefully I won’t feel hungry and I sooo want to get my first fill. Dr Kow said no to a fill because I haven’t even got to the solid stage (I kind of knew that, I was pushing my luck hehe). She said that if I am losing less than 1kg per week in the solid stage then 28 July when I see her next I'll be able to get my fill! I want my fill!!!

Oh, it’s my birthday on Saturday and Nick said I can have a cocktail but it will go straight to my head and don’t make myself sick. Which I won’t. Oh, and I can Diet Soft Drinks, I thought I would never be allowed them again. This was an awesome day!

After a few days of mushies

Ok so I’m back from Melbourne and I had the best time! I love that city just awesome! I didn’t jump on Wii Fit on Monday morning because by the time I had gotten home it was 930am! So I weighed myself yesterday and Wii Fit said I had gained 1.1kg! A Gain, my first Gain. I think it’s because I started to eat real food ha-ha. I ate awesome scrambled eggs with hollandaise sauce for breakfast, lunch was whatever we were around usually something salady and dinner was fish and chips or spaghetti. I also had a few Krispy Kreme donuts and you know what I think I am over them, I don’t get the same OMG this is heaven feeling anymore when I eat them.

Funny thing though on the flight over to Melbourne everything went great, when I got on the Skybus suddenly I had a feeling of my stomach tightening. I just needed to sit in my seat and breathe slowly for about 10 mins and then I was normal again. I expected to have the same thing landing into Adelaide but no I was fine. I’m going to ask Dr Kow tomorrow seems as I am seeing Dr Kow and I just don’t know what to expect it shall be very interesting. I’m sure I must be doing something wrong because no one is perfect!

Mid Week Weigh In - Please Explain

Its Thursday everyone and we all know what this means, I’m starting mushies today!!!! I am so excited but a bit nervous because a friend of mine told me about an experience of food getting stuck and I don’t want that to happen to me, but I guess I will take it easy. So to keep myself going and also to mark the end of the liquid faze I jumped on the Wii Fit.

I was expecting to see a loss of say 200grams, I felt heavier too and I was just waiting. I watched my Mii Character get fatter and fatter and fatter and then it stopped. I have lost 1.4kg in 3 days? How is that possible, either way I’m not too concerned I lost 1.4kg! This means I am now 124.3kg I don’t know how long it’s been since I was that weight.

This time next week I am seeing Doctor Kow, and my mini goal of getting less than 120kg does not seem to be realistic. In total now since the beginning of the Pre Op Diet I have now lost 11.2kg! I have never been this successful at weight loss ever, this is the best decision I have made for my health physically and emotionally! I will post when I get back from Melbourne, I am flying there today. I will just have to make sure I don’t eat anything etc until I have weighed myself on Wii Fit, I should be at home by 8.30am I can do that right? Time will tell.

Week 3 Completed

Weigh In Week 3 Post Surgery, I was hoping to see that I would maintain that 700gram loss from Thursday and if I gained any of it back. I jumped onto Wii Fit and watched my little Mii Character get fatter and fatter and fatter until it stopped and said 300gram loss! So that’s 1kg gone in 1 week! I don’t have any restriction yet and I’m hoping that maybe I will lose more in the weeks to come.

As I’m seeing Dr Kow next Thursday I’m wondering if she will give me a fill, I don’t believe so seems when I see her I will not even be on the solid stage yet. I will ask her though when I can have my first fill. So guys this means I am now 125.7kg and a total loss of 9.8kg! That 200grams got away from me but next week I will smash the 10kg mark depending on my eating. I will weigh in again on Thursday morning and ill post Thursday morning too, I have a lot going on Thursday to Sunday and it will be a test to see if I have lost and kept it off. I am starting Mushies on Thursday I’m so excited for Scrambled Eggs!!!! Omg Eggs!!!!

Mid Week Weigh In

Ok so it’s Thursday and as I promised I jumped on the mighty Wii Fit and let the Wii Board decide my fate for my “mid week weight” I was watching the BMI thing climb and climb and climb no wait it’s still climbing when it said 700grms lost! Wooohooo I’m now 126kg even, although I shouldn’t really be counting this as a weight loss yet, not til Monday anyway.

I am so relieved that I haven’t stalled for another week. I have my birthday in a fortnight and I want to look semi ok. I hope that when I weigh in again on Monday it will say 125kg, I just hope I can get to my goal of being under 120kg when I see Dr Lilian Kow again on the 25th of June which is exactly two weeks today. I have one more week left on Liquid and then I get mushies, I am deliriously excited to eat scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes and feel human. No doubt at work I will continue on my shake and soup thing, but at dinner omg egg me out baby!

Oh! Note to everyone who got those wicked pain killers when they were discharged from hospital. I had a huge headache and decided to use them. Big mistake Big! (Imagine in Pretty Woman when she goes back into the shop after they wouldn’t sell her clothes) I felt soooooo sick, I could hardly move, I felt dizzy, I threw up! Just a small bit but all I thought was OMG I threw up, I’m not allowed to throw up with the band and I’m freaking out that maybe my band has moved. I’m sure it hasn’t but hmmm. NO HOSPITAL PILLS EVER AGAIN!

End of Week 2 - The Things That Make You Go Hmm

End of Week Two and it was time to weigh in – I thought that I would not lose 4kg but maybe 1 to 2 kg, instead I jumped on the Wii Fit and it goes 0.0kg! I lost nothing! Not even 100grams. This to me means that I think I have the nutrition down I just need to do exercise. I am going to call the clinic tomorrow and see when I can head back into the gym otherwise ill just play on Wii Fit.

I feel disappointed with not even having a loss, but I guess it’s not a gain and I should think of it like that. I will be more diligent this week!

I will post more often this week to keep me more on track, maybe this posting once a week isn’t a good thing. So I will now post every couple of days. I am going to weigh myself on Thursday morning to see how I am going just for this week only. Wish me luck!
