  1. i am now 43kg less than i started and the scales are shifting this wk so things are moving again, i feel bloody fantastic and now i am walking,the odd person that hasn't seen me in a while making comments, saying im looking so much healthier and happy !! and yes i am!!! my hubby is now heavier than me and he has asked about going on Paleo .. down fall my daughter mixed with the wrong crowd a few months ago,only 14 and where i live is very isolated, best decision i made was sending her to live with her older sister, sadly it was in another state . she doesn't agree with my decision atm but im hoping in a while she will see i did it because i love her so much. so just me and my husband at home the house is so quiet no children no loud music or ppl walking in and out. so im being busy, keeps my mind from going down the spiral of loneliness and sadness ...but i am lucky a good network of friends helps so much. miss my daughter but i am happy i know she is safe atm and also helping my husband to lose the excess he has put on.... now that i am now finding exercise easier i still cant believe that i had excess 40+ kg woah no wonder my knees and back hurt so much .. hope everyone is doing ok been a while since I've been back on site but i still like to have the network of ppl around the world that went through this journey same time as me cheers everyone xxxx
  2. 9 months in and i have lost 40kg i am so happy and feel so much better i cant believe i was carrying that amount around just crazy!!! anyway i am not anymore and i feel awesome went for a walk with stew and i didn't get puffed didn't ask to stop to catch my breath actually for the first time in many yrs asked to keep going !!! YEP i couldn't believe it! my clothes are loose and there is actually a few things i cant wear as they are now falling off me i love that ! i went to a friends that was selling some clothes and for the first time in god knows how many years i catuallly said i cant wear that its too big OMG it was an amazing moment lol its the small things huh ? anyway i hope all are doing ok i have offisially only 45kg to my goal weight and i think its going to be not too far away as each day i have more energy and that gets me doing more im in my garden and just loving being more active and my way of cooking has changed no more quick fix jars and packet food for this household no way its all fresh and cooked by me ! lovin my sleeve wish i had done it so many yrs ago but glad im on the right path for my life
  3. 21 weeks post op and i am down 30kg !!! having a bit of a stall as i haven't moved much in the past 2 or so weeks but that's ok. i am feeling ok eating whatever i want luckily and still small amounts but trying to keep up the intake as i am busy the drinking part is ok but living in a hot area i would so like to just have a big drink sometimes when im thirsty as but oh well.
    i am sleeping so much better still not snoring and feeling refreshed more in the am which is great.
    i have healed really well and i have gone down a pant size but im still wearing my old jeans they are comfy a bit baggy but hey its been ages since anything was baggy lol loving my journey and never have felt that i made the wrong decision ever just wish i had made it earlier loving the energy loving being able to sit on the grass and get up on my own ( its the lil things isn't it ) hope all of you are doing great sorry its been a while between blogs just have too much happening which is a great thing !
  4. I cant believe the changes in just my face alone so many people make comments its very nice and flattering. I have had a new hair cut and colour and that has also helped with the new me

    Hi Mags...sorry I just found your message re tummy tuck, lipo ect. I went to Bangkok to have it done and am extremely happy with the results. The price varies due to the $aud at the time but if you contact Bangkok Makeovers via a google search the lady Rachel who owns the business will give you all the info you need. OR you can email them at bangkokmakeover@gmail.com Good luck xxxcoralxxx

    Hi Mags!

    I am sorry I did not respond sooner to you! I hope your surgery went well. When I started my journey I was 360 an knew it. I was unhappy and uncomfortable.I noticed I was losing weight only in numbers. I never felt like I was getting smaller. The first time I actually physically noticed I had lost weight was when I went to put on my favorite and only pair of jeans 4 months after surgery and went to lunch with my family. My sister walked up behind me and grab what was the ass of my jeans and asked if I needed a diaper change. Since then I have noticed more and more things changing, but only after seeing it in pictures or someone pointing it out. I have never felt "thiner/skinner".

    I still mentally think about fitting into things ie chairs booths small spaces. Even after now losing over 100 pounds. I feel like I am still that much larger person that I was.

    Do not concentrate on the numbers aspect of the weightloss. You will go mad with anger and frustration. I have been in a stall for over a month. No matter how hard I push myself in my own workouts I was not moving. It got tot he point where it started to make me depressed. I have now looked past the number on the scale and I keep working my new tool with the new things I am always learning and I just keep going.

    I hope this helped in anyway to make you feel more comfortable with your new life change. Please feel free to contact me! I am excited to hear how your journey goes and see how you progress.

by mags68 on 02-18-2015 at 08:58 AM
well i have been going slowly slowly and i am now -28kg or 61 lbs. i feel so much better and going to Bali just recently i felt so much better about my body having a massage this time. I am watching what i eat and have now just started (the last few weeks) taking centrum and a hair and nail vitamin as my hair was falling out not alarmingly but enough to make me sit up and take notice. one thing i have really noticed is the amount of people that have had bariatric surgery more than i ever knew before

12wks! that went quick

by mags68 on 01-21-2015 at 05:35 PM
hi everyone I am now at 12 wk mark feeling great have lost over 57lbs and feel so much better for it.
I must be one of the lucky ones as so far I have had no problem with any foods but obviously just the amount is so much less... I have a few friends that still ridicule the amount of food I eat and I have a hard time trying to ignore it not sure why they feel the need to make a joke out of how many spoons I can eat but it gets to the point I don't want to eat there as I don't
