So it has been a month since my surgery, and time for a quick update on how I'm going! As of this morning, I weigh 110kg, which is 16.5kg less than I did two months ago at my first specialist appointment! I can't say I've seen a huge change in myself, but my clothes are definitely looser and a few people have mentioned how well I'm looking.
The biggest issue I am having is with my energy levels. I fall asleep on the couch or in bed the moment I get home! I end up sleeping until around 8pm, and then get up, make something for dinner and watch some tv before going back to bed around 11pm. I am so tired all the time. I think part of it is a vitamin deficiency - I haven't been able to take the recommended vitamins as they make me throw up (not pleasant I can assure you!)
I'm back to eating nearly any sort of food, although heavily processed food doesn't seem to sit well with me (eg I can eat good quality steak and chicken nuggets, but KFC popcorn chicken and fish fingers are out). At lunch I am often eating half a tub of yoghurt, breakfast is a cruskit with sweet chilli philly, and dinner is a few bites of steak or chicken before I'm full. I am trying to get organised with snacks when the hunger comes (which it does), and also keep watered down cordial to drink. I still can't drink straight water or take big gulps which is frustrating, but I'm working on it.
Next update I will try and get some pictures to compare, and perhaps some measurement updates as well. My next big milestone is to hit the 20kg mark - only 3.5kg to go!

Weigh In
Today is weigh in day, and I am happy to report that I have lost 13kg to date! My starting weight was 126.5kg on the day of my surgeons appointment and as of today I am at 113.5kg! I'm really happy with my weight loss to date and hopefully it keeps coming off!
