Week Two

Have finished my first week of the pureed food and now into the second. Seems to be going well though I have been a little hungrier on a few days. Trying to go to sleep at a reasonable hour as I know this is one of my triggers for over eating. Still sleeping on the couch, not sure when I'm welcome back upstairs lol!

Weighed myself this morning and there was no change, still 138.5kg. Zola did tell me that some weeks there wouldn't be a loss but I sorted of expected that a bit further in. Never mind, as Marie said "At least it's not a gain".

Went to the support group on Sunday and met 5 ladies who are a different stages of their weight loss. Two were 3 years post op, 1 - 18 months and 1 - 9 months and the other I'm not sure. It was the Hamilton support group but ironically I was the only from Hamilton there!It was great to hear their stories and look at their before and afters. Disturbingly they shared with us how much better their sex lives were since having the surgery with some details I don't think I needed to hear (nothing too racy though just too much info!).

There's a weight loss surgery conference down in Palmerston North in November so I have booked to go and also booked my accommodation. Not sure who I'm going with yet but at least I'm all booked.

Back to work today and maybe driving again for the first time today.

It funny how people think I'm just lying around trying to heal. They ring or see me and are quite shocked at how cheerful and well I am! I'm healing well and doing light duties and going for my little strolls even if it is only over to the mall or around our street and the next.

This weekend is Brian's birthday and him and I are heading over to the Mount for the weekend whilst the children are away at Leader's training. We're hoping to go out for dinner for his birthday as I will be allow soft foods and starting on seafood etc this week.

Here's to another good week.
