Hi everyone I have been mega busy since my op (6th Aug) I was back at work 5 days after wrong time of the year to be sick. Anyhow I have been exhausted with everything and you guessed it the kids got ill as well so we have been up every night for the last 5 nights with them both.
I have been too busy to do a blog yet infact apart from phone calls with Allison Gaelic girl I haven’t had time for any weight loss news or web sites. I have just updated my ticker thing and I have lost 10 kg since the 28 July when I started the pre-op diet till today so I am delighted and it’s been well worth it.

The only thing bothering me

is lying about what was wrong with me (I only told my husband and 2 friends about the bypass) as I have said I was ill from another gyny op and tried to be as vague as possible and it is only today and yesterday that I have felt ok and not had a hot water bottle on my tummy and I looked really pale since my op.

my eldest son was the first to notice I had lost weight and said I should keep on dieting and get back to being slim (all he’s seen me eat is soup and tea and he thinks its a soup diet)
My size 20 jeans are vv baggy and I am sure I can fit my 18 will try tomorrow

I took (headless) pics of myself in the hospital and I am going to do the same every month
Best of all I took measurements all around my body and the inches I have lost is amazing (cant find the paper now but I plan to type them all out and show you all how I am doing,
Got to go someone’s crying upstairs back again when I get some free time

Hi SB - sorry to hear your bairns are not well - hope they get better soon! You sound like you have had a really hectic time of it...you maybe need to slow down a bit otherwise you will be on your a**e! I have told folk I had an ulcer (which is true) and the weight loss is due to post op liquid intake. I went back to work very soon after and worked till now - I am having next week off (inset days / student enrollment week / training week) otherwise I will not have the stamina to endure the term which starts the following Monday.

I look forward to watching your progress and don't forget to look after yourself and get some rest.
 
It is so good to hear from you. I am glad your operation went well and you are now on the losing side. You have had such an amazing weight loss.
 
Hi SB

I wondered where you had got to...Nice to hear from you...Brilliant weight loss.

Try not worry too much about telling people about the bypass...Whilst there is absolutely no shame in having this life and mind saving operation, other people can't help themselves but be judgemental.

I am not going to tell anyone apart from my husband and my son and my son's girlfriend...and if I bump into anyone thereafter and they say anything, I'll just say I've cut back a bit...lol... TBH, most people I know have seen me big and they have seen me small.

Hope the children feel better soon...take care...look forward to reading your posts soon.

(((hugs)))
