Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I am definatley an emotional eater. And a large eater when I eat. I never used to eat until lunch, as I then felt tired and lethargic. I've tried every diet in the book, but the moment I went on a diet, I was starving! to the stage I could be sick. (Obviously mind over matter).

Well time is flying by! It's been 10 weeks since my surgery, and I've lost 25kg or 55 pounds! I started wearing a 24/26 and last week I bought a pair of 18 3/4 jeans!  I nearly cartwheeled out of the change rooms :)  I'm still struggling with liquids, not having anywhere near enough. Slowly starting to exercise, once I get home in a routine, we'll be going great guns!

 

Even with the ups and downs I've had, I LOVE my VSG, and would have it again in a heartbeat! Taking more pics today, and will update!

I'm feeling REALLY tired of late. Up until Saturday, I was being sick up to 3 times a day.  

Damn hernia is driving me nuts! I went to the chiro, as he's been working on my back and right hip. I told him about the hernia. As he had me laying on my back, he put his hand just under my  diaphragm, pushed down quite hard and dragged down. He did that a few times, and since then, I've been sick only once!  I'm feeling optimistic that this may help.

I've not had much time to be online, and I must admit, I'm missing the interaction and friends. Hopefully when I change jobs, my sanity will be restored!

Well I had the endoscopy, and I have a hiatus hernia. This travels up the opening of the stomach, and blocks the entrance off.  Definately explains why I can't get anything down! I had a good meeting with "Dr Phil" (my surgeon) and his wife yesterday afternoon. He's upped my meds, and hopefully all will improve soon.

We talked about the appts I've been having with the Nut. I'm her first VSG patient, and she admits she doesn't know how to advise me. We've collectively decided to look for another Nut, so now I'm nutless!

 Work is REALLY stressful right now, I've managed to break my contract, and am going back to my old job, new branch with more pay in 4 weeks time.
