It is the Gym for me!

I am nine weeks and have lost 17 Kilos since surgery and 23 Kilograms since 12 weeks when I first started my preop.

I have upped the exercise and go to the gym 3 times a week on top of walking the dogs etc.

I feel the exercise has made it easier to loose and move my tummy along to the toilet if you get what I mean.



I am wrapped but still feel like I have a long way to go. I am just going to stay excited about the progress.

I can eat most things now, just not much of it.  Sometimes I dont know if I have pushed the limits a little, I dont want to do damage by accidentally overeating. I can eat approximately 1/4 of a cup, or a half a sandwhich (not a fat sandwhich).

My diet includes one protein shake, very small serving of porridge, half a sandwhich or cup of soup and a very small serving of what ever the family is having for tea.  I have had a table sppon of ice-cream for sweets but I will not make that a habit.

I hope to get some pics on here soon.  

Week 7 - wow already

It has gone quite fast really however I am feeling like I am not getting in enough food and protein and that has slowed down my weight loss.  Since surgery I have lost 14 kg.  That is an average of 2kg a week so not too shabby.

After seeing other peoples scars I have come to the conclusion that I am very lucky and am going to share the lovely work of my surgeon, Dr Ravi Rao.

You can only just make out the four small marks, I am so happy with that.  My large scar is within my belly button so if I was every going to wear a bikini (ha ha) it wouldn't be too much of a drama.

Food:-
Like I said I am struggling to get all of it in.  I have a half pack of minute porridge every morning, on weekends I have a poached egg courtesy of hubby and his girls (chooks).  For lunch I have a cup of soup or left over from dinner the night before.  Dinner I just have a little of what the family is having. I avoid the rice, pasta and potato were possible. PROTEIN FIRST.

I try and have  a shake a day but have to admit to not doing that for a few days.  My weight loss slows when I am not getting in the protein.  So does my energy levels. Back to doing the right thing by my body today.

Here is a little shot my little boy took of me at six weeks.  He thinks it's funny to make me look small.

I am now wearing size 20 and 18 jeans after over five years in 24's and the odd 22.

Hope your journey's are going well!  Talk soon.
