About NickyNooNoo
- Sleeved or not sleeved:
- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- After finding out that (unexpectedly) that I am unable to fall pregnant naturally, I found that IVF was my only chance at becoming becoming pregnant and finally becoming a Mum. Due to my size, I realised that I would not currently qualify for IVF. How embarrassing. Not only that, but when I do have children, I don't want my kids made fun of because their mother is fat.
I've lived my whole life as the fat, but funny person. I'm sick of using my sense of humour to cover my shame. I want to wear nice clothes and feel comfortable in when I go out- I want my husband to be proud to be seen with me. Most of all, I want to LOVE MYSELF. I want to look in the mirror and like what I see. I have felt that feeling. I'm crying as I write this because I know that I am so damn close to my surgery date. I can't wait to be given a second chance at life. And dammit, I'll make the most of it!!!

Well I'm thrilled to say I am now home, and feeling great! My dye test this morning came up fine, and I was very relived to have my drip and other tubes removed- including the drainage tube ( GROSSEST FEELING EVER!!!!), and as lovely as the nurses and doctors were, I was so glad to see the back of them!
I came home to a sparkling clean house and a gorgeous bunch of flowers waiting for me from my hubby! My furbabies were super excited to see me, so I am rapt to be home. The first thing I did

Hello Everyone!!
Well I made it through the surgery and I'm now on Day 2!
All went well in the surgery- no complications at all. Wounds are easily being controlled with pain relief- the only difficult part is putting up with the shoulder tip pain from the gas used in surgery. There's not a great deal that can be done about it besides a heat pack and moving around to flush out the gas.
I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to those of you who have sent me your prayers and well wishes,

So my day has almost come!! One more sleep! I can't believe the time has passed so quickly! Especially considering I didn't think I'd make it past the pre-op diet stage! (which by now has become super easy, although I still crave 'real' food!!)
I am about 90% excited and 10% nervous!! I'm sure the latter number will increase slowly over the next 24 hours!!!

5 days to go.. 5 days to go.. 5 days to go!!!!
I am so freakin excited right now!!!! I can't believe the day is almost here! The start of my new life!
After all the hurdles I have had to encounter in the lead up to my surgery, I can finally relax and look forward to the new me. I honestly did not think that I would make it through my 14 day pre-op diet in one piece, but here I am, several kgs lighter and with loads more energy! I am incredibly proud of myself for sticking to the diet

I really never thought I would be saying this, but 5 days in to my pre-op diet and I am feeling pretty fantastic!
After waking this morning, I stepped on the scales and saw that I have dropped 3.5kgs! This works out to be almost 1kg per DAY! I am thrilled beyond words and am feeling so inspired to continue with this until my big day!
I can see subtle changes in my body, as can my husband- who is being so incredibly supportive of me though this entire process.
For the first
