Ok, well it’s been a little over three months now since my surgery and things are going well.  The weight loss comes and goes in waves but I’m noticing the changes mostly in my clothes.  Meaning, I have very little left that fits!  Again, a luxury problem, but a problem nonetheless!  I am going to have to bite the bullet …

If you aren’t aware already, Instagram has recently become available for Android!  I love it! It’s weird though, because when it was only for iphone users and I’d see people uploading Instagram photos I’d be like “Meh, I don’t see what the appeal is with this, the photos look weird and why not just use their normal mobile camera??”.  I …

Wahoo!  I’m so happy!  Today is a great weight loss day for me!  Getting below 100 kilos was one of my first goals after my surgery, and I’m finally there.  As usual when you have a specific goal in mind, that last kilo hung on for dear life. I felt like I spent a week hovering at 100.1 – 100.3 …

While looking through my feeds this morning I saw an interesting link on Dooce.com.  When I saw The Wire mentioned I had to check it out. Beware! Before watching, there are possible spoilers in the video! [vimeo id=”39768998″ width=”600″ height=”350″] I’m a huge fan of The Wire, I’ve mentioned it in the past and whenever I talk to friends about …

I have a new bike! WAHOO! Remember Sheldon the Wonder Fiets?  Well, I sold him in the fall.  He served me well during the time I was using him but I just was not at all happy with him overall.  I felt like I was riding around on a coke can that was about to crumble beneath me.  Maybe it …

One of the challenges we often face living in a small flat is making the most of the space we have.  We had originally planned to be out of this flat years ago but there was no knowing what was going to happen with the housing market.  We’ve outgrown this place, but we are stuck for the moment so some …

Looks like someone could use a dentist!

As most long time readers know, my weight loss journey started long before my gastric bypass surgery.  Well technically it probably started when I was a young teenager, but this most recent attempt started in 2009.  I tried a number of different things before finally deciding to go ahead with the surgery.  So while I am counting the lbs / kilos …

I have never in my life seen an animal that loves the sun as much as Pixel.  You would think that the cat would be the sun worshipper in the house but you’d be wrong.  Pixel is never happier than when she finds a nice sunny spot to stretch out.  She knows all the sweet spots in the house and …

I know that when people who have WLS do blog updates, one of the things people are interested in most is seeing the progress photos. At least that’s what *I* always wanted to see most. I have been taking photos along the way but I have to say I’m not really loving it yet.  From my experience and what I …

I wrote weeks one, two and three at length because I feel like they were the weeks where I went trough the most changes.  It was one huge learning curve and my body was adjusting and recovering.  Going into week four things changed and while they have continued to improve, there hasn’t been a massive amount of differences from week …
