  1. It's been awhile since I posted.....

    Hi All,

    It's been a fair while since I last updated my blog or participated in the forum. It's been crazy busy so it's been one of those bottom of the list things while I get everything else sorted.

    Well it's been a good couple of month since I last updated this thing so to start off, when I last updated my blog I was 299lbs, I'm happy to say I'm now down to 259lbs with the goal weight being 142lbs, I'm now 100lbs lighter than I was when I first started on this journey. ...
  2. 2 months on......

    For those who may have not read my first blog, I had my operation on the 29th of July 2011. At that time my weight was 359lbs, I'm now in the 200 range and my weight is 299lbs.

When I was first recommended for the Gastric surgery(our public health system pays for it) I weighed in at a hefty 410lbs.

    I was suppose to write this a week ago but it has been a mad house around here and I haven't had a chance. Anyways....before I went I had hit the dreaded plato about a week or two before the appointment. I didn't worry about it to much as I figured I would change my diet and kick up my exercise routine. The first part worked a charm, the exercise....not so well. I tore my calf muscle while kickboxing. When I went back in for my check in I was still on 324lbs. I did have a chat to my dietitian and ...
  4. First check up since Surgery.

    We'll I had my first check up since having my surgery on the 29th of July. When I started my diet prior to my operation I was 187kgs(412lbs). That was back in May of 2010. It was probably the best decision I had ever made. Unfortunately I could of had my operation a lot sooner had I taken the option of working towards having a gastric sleeve the first time it was offered to me. Back then I was peaking between 195-197kgs(429lbs-434lbs), high blood pressure and regularly suffered from bouts of gout ...
