Hi everyone, haven't blogged for a while. I had a consultation in February this year after being accepted for weight loss surgery, due to my diabetes and now being diagnosed with osteo arthritus. They said it would take about a year. Imagine my shock 2 weeks ago when a letter arrived in the post giving me an operation date for the 13th June. I'm now having to prepare myself for this which is difficult.
I stopped smoking a week ago I have to lose 14 pounds in weight by the 8th May when I have my pre-operation assessment. I've lost 10 pounds already so should be ok on that one. But the worse one will be 2 weeks before the operation I won't be allowed to eat anything at all. Yes you read it right. You have to have drink supplement i.e slimfast (not sure if you readers in the U.S have that).
But on the plus side I know the operation is a great success, my wife had it done last July and she weighed 439 pounds on the day of the operation. She now weighs only 251 pounds and is still losing weight. At the moment I weigh 308 pounds.
I must confess I will miss food all big people do but my wife says you'll be surprised she doesn't miss it as much as she thought she would because she just isn't hungry anymore. I am excited because I will be much more healthier, but I just can't imagine myself being skinny lol. Oh yes after the assessment on the 8th May up until the 30th May I can eat whatever I want and I will. So any suggestions for scrummy mouth watering over indulgence food will be greatly appreciated, hahahaha. Take care everyone, bye xxxx. |
