    Week 8 Post Weight Loss Surgery

    May 23, 2022 / No Comments

    It’s been almost eight weeks since I had weight loss surgery in the form of a gastric sleeve and I am afraid I may have made a terribly costly mistake. The surgery cost me over seventeen thousand dollars which came out of my superannuation and it is starting to look as if I have just completely wasted that money. The first week and a half to two weeks after surgery were great.

    My Weight Loss Surgery – POD – day 11

    September 19, 2021 / No Comments

    It’s day 11 of my 42 day pre-operation diet (POD) and it’s the first day I have not cheated but the day is only half over. I’m feeling a mixture of things. Shame because I have given in to temptation over and over again. Anger towards the surgeon. I just want to yell at him: “HEY – If I could stick to diets and lose the weight myself I wouldn’t NEED the surgery you moron!” Sadness because eating is the only thing in my life that gives me pleasure these days and now I’m about to lose that too. Frustration because how come I can’t get control over this aspect…

    Feeling Empty

    December 15, 2007 / No Comments

    I'm feeling empty and discontent and it isn't just because I can't eat much. Eating does, however, seem to have been the antidote to these feelings until now.

    I'm still alive and I have cut back on the diet coke but my stomach doesn't seem to be able to recognise fruit and vegetables as real food so I'm almost always hungry or peckish.
