Sheree's Diary - ThinnerTimes

shereeks · 12-09-2006, 06:53 AM

As I hover around this forum every day and read everyone else's diaries I think to myself I really should have one of my own.

Everything has been going pretty well so I find, as is human nature, that I only say things when something is going wrong! I'll try to fix that and keep you guys updated on how I am doing.

Had my surgery on the 15th of September 2006 in Belgium, such a huge decision and one I don't think I really thought through that well! In Europe you don't get any kind of psych eval or counselling before you have the op so even though I thought I was ready - I know realise I wasn't. But - too late now eh!

The journey has had great times and bad. Have been in hospital twice - with kidney stones it turns out - the most horrific pain I have ever known and much worse than the operation. But, it's all better now and I'm trying to take good care of myself.

Am happy with my 58lb weight loss so far - although would like more - but I guess that's normal. Am happy that I now have room each side of me on the seat in my car. Am happy that when I went to the hairdressers I didn't have to squeeze my but into the chair anymore! Am happy that I can no longer eat five bags of chips, a packet of biscuits and 3 mars bars in one sitting!

But man, I would love a mars bar!

Hi Sherree!

I started my "Diary" too long after my surgery. I wish I would have done it sooner so that I could have seen my progress through my journey. I'm glad you started one! There were always things I was thinking, but I didn't think they were significant enough to start a thread...that is why I should have had a "Diary"!!

You are doing great and now we get to watch your good and bad days through your diary!
