Hi I have been wandering around the site for a few weeks now, started a diary and had some input on some of the treads but I thought I should introduce myself
We live in Perth, Swan Valley way and we love it out here.
I work about 4 days a weeks sometimes more, enjoy my profession and career path although it does drive me crazy at times.
I have a lovely husband who is the sole of patience and listens to all my crazy ideas. He works away, and this is the way we like things.
We have 2 big dogs and a cat (its actually a little dog but for shire reasons we call it a cat shhhhhhhhhh), a parrot, lots of fish every where and different kids that blow in and out of the guest bedroom. We don't really mind that but do wish they would take all their junk with them when they leave.
3 beautiful grandchild which we adore but dont get to as often as we would like.
We try to go away on holidays twice a year Bali or Phuket are the favourites, and spend the rest of our time trying to finish the house and gardens (its a never ending project) spending time with family.
Over the last 6 years I have put on over 40kilos, last year alone I put on 7 kilos in 6 mths. We have no idea why, nothing really has changed. My weight was monitored at the sleep clinic as the 2 go hand in hand. I had been tossing up about banding for about the last 3 years, we had gone to information sessions and seen a surgeon as well. Then shelved the idea and went back to walking and trying not to graze all day. Earlier this year we went to Bali and I had to get a seatbeat extension, I was embrassed and upset that was my decision made. I asked a surgeon to see me when we got back and made an op date. (The holiday was fine few Bintangs and fat gut was forgotten, until the plane trip home.)
So here we are the dietitian suguested this site.
Been on Modifast for 8 days so far. Op date 6th August, I went sleeve less complications after the initial post op period, sort of set and forget
The other half says he just wants me well and happy, I'm sure he doesnt enjoy this much of me.........
At the moment besides having severe sleep aponea and being morbidly obese Im relative health no diabetes, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure etc for the moment but I feel I standing on the top of a point and only a hairs breath away from all the obesity relate illnesses.
Well thats me and the starting point of this exciting journey
