Ok it’s been six weeks since our Surgery! Boy, there’s been some ups and downs in that six weeks! I’ve thought sometimes what the hell have I done. We just can’t go out for dinner whenever we want now.
We made it onto the puréed food thank goodness as we were both sick of drinking Optifast meal replacements and Juice. It was so nice to have something that wasn’t in drinking form.
Prior to our surgery I was drinking at least three litres of water per day and I never gave it a thought. Since our surgery both Russell and I have struggled to drink water. It got that bad for me, I became dehydrated. It was hell! It wasn’t the funnest thing I’d ever done! I was told I had to go back on the liquid diet for one week! OMG I thought I’d never be able to have food again. Thankfully I’m back on the puréed foods again. And I am managing to drink water again as long as it’s with ice.
Russell’s also had a few days were he’s been dizzy and couldn’t do full days at work. One day he was driving home and he got motion sickness. He was beside himself. “We won’t be able to go on traveling holidays” For him that’s he worst nightmare coming true! Thankfully it only happened the once.
In this time I’ve lost 22kgs and Russell has lost 25kgs.
The first three photos were taken today. Boy, I was surprised to see how far our progress has come in such a short time. The fourth photo: the top photo was taken 12 months ago almost to the day. Wow what a difference. I’m totally blown away!
