Hallo Possums,
So 8 weeks post op already! The time flies doesn't it?!
Well so far I've lost around 14kg so around 30 pounds. Hurrah! I've got about 9kg to go to my first goal weight and then I might choose to drop another 5kg. But regardless it is all wonderful and fun and it has got so much better week by week.
As I've said in the past the first few weeks are a bit up and down and the tiredness is gahhhhhh, but it improves and i have felt a lot more energy of late. I've even done a few baby delivering shifts to keep me busy!
I'm back out running and boy do I feel it after those few weeks off. I'm taking it slow especially as it is HOT here in Queensland at the moment so I drink heaps of water daily. I'm also going back to crossfit so I will want to die LOL!
I can eat anything now, I tend to have scrambled egg in the morning and chicken at lunch and fish or seafood in the evening. I put the odd salad leaf with it but it is still quite hard to fit anything but the protein in. I still have a protein shake too as I found a low carb and low sugar one which isn't at all sweet so hurrah. I'm off to Thailand in about 3 weeks so i think I will just take some Protein powder and a shaker and i should be able to find some food, I'm a fan of Thai food and chilli but I'll see how my tummy goes. I always eat vegetarian when I'm overseas generally but I'm wondering whether I will this time. I made that decision after spending a night on a bathroom floor in Vietnam telling someone to get me a gun!!! Food poisoning is no fun, I don't fancy it with the sleeve, maybe I will take plenty of protein powder!!! I'm only popping over for a quick 6 nights so I can survive!
I'm sure it will all work out! Any ideas?
I'm actually pretty good. I do remember feeling that i may never feel the same again in those first few weeks, so if you are in that stage, do not fear!!! Everything changes weekly or daily. This is such a good decision you have made for your health, keep looking at that bigger picture, don't compare yourself to anyone and....
"Be yourself, everyone else is taken" Oscar Wilde. Wise words.
Take up your space in the world.
I wish you all much success and a Happy New Year xx
