Green veggies..yum

When I am home alone I can eat what I like.
Tonight I had mixed asian greens poached in chicken stock and white wine with a bit of grated cheese and coriander added at the end combined with a lightly beaten egg.  It probaby sounds gross but I really enjoyed it.

I am having a glass or two of chardy as well.  :-)

Looking back and now looking forward

Look back at my photo the Saturday before I had my surgery.

I knew I was morbidly obese but I still thought I looked alright at the wedding even though I was on my pre - op diet and nearly ready for surgery.

I think I suffered from reverse anorexia: I always looked good in the mirror!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, finally I see some flaws but not many (bodywise), I will never be happy with the face.

When my BMI is in the healthy weight range I would like to have some photos taken but unless I am earning money they will be taken by my children.  I have very little to lose to get there but it just isn't happening soon enough.

I can go back to exercising very soon because my recoverey from surgery is about complete.  I will start with light cardio this week.  Next week I will attend my mix and match class and if I feel o.k after that I will go back to the gym.

Keep your finger crossed.

Infection

Well now I know why I was so sore.
My wound was infected and my skin is sensitive to the sticky dressings.  OUCH!!!!!!!!

Two different antibiotics and two visits to my GP later and it's nearly o.k.

On Friday I will go to the surgeon and let him check it all out.

It's not quite right so we'll see.

I've lost another kilo or two but can't quite get to 60kg.  I have been so close but I haven't hit it yet.  Soon, very soon.

It's time

to grow my hair back.
Having short hair from hair loss sucks.

I have had my gall bladder out 5 days now and to be honest it was a much harder thing to go through than the gastric sleeve.

I'm still sore.

Random photos of me with members of my family

Approximately 5

kilograms to go before I am in the healthy weight range for the first time since 1990. yayyyyyyyy

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Time to update the photo

People have been gasping lately when they see me.
I think it's the hair really. The regrowth from all the hair loss was quite fuzzy so I had it all cut off.
Dad got quite emotional when he saw me and said I looked like Mum. Everyone knows I am a dead spit for Dad. LOL
Reid and I had our photo taken together a couple of nights ago when we officially gave up being Mayor and Mrs. Mayor so I will try to get one of those to post soon.
