Hi, I just wanted to say that the best part of this I've realised is that I'm not alone in the world. Reading everyone else's posts has made me realise that I'm not the only one, so thank you in advance for giving me a place to come to when I have no one to talk to.
I began my journey on Monday with my gastric balloon operation, really not a pleasant experience and I'm in a lot of discomfort. However, I choose this because I have several digestive disorders and my Gastro-Specialist Dr recommended that I could cure serveral ailments at the same time..........one being my weight!!
The day of the operation I weighed in at 104kgs, the heaviest I've been for 10 years!! all the weight I lost years ago (9 stone / 57kgs) has almost all crept back on again. My fault.
Went to the Nutrionist yesterday and I weighed 99.5kgs, so a loss of 4.5kgs in 4 days. Hardly surprising since I haven't eaten for 5 days !!
She scanned me and said it was mainly water and muscle tissue that I had lost, bummer!!
My diet currently consists of Water, Green Tea, Actimel x 2 and a glass of milk a day. She wants me on liquids only for another week!! Not fare, I'm STARVING !!!!! No wonder everyone reports rapid wieght loss in the first 2 weeks!! even this laptop looks edible to me!!
Next Tuesday I have another appointment with my gastro specialist and my first appointment ever at a gym! Should be interesting, as I'm running on rather low batteries at the moment.
Start Weight 104kgs (16stone 3llbs) 12/03/2012
Actual 99.5kgs 15/03/2012
Lost 4.5kgs
Target weight 63kgs (healthy 10stone!)
Left to loose: 36.5kgs
