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 …

Last night a few friends messaged me to let me know about a program that was going to be on BBC.  All I knew was that they were discussing obesity and gastric bypass, so I knew it was something I’d have to check out. I’m so glad I did!  My husband came in and watched it with me and we …

The catch-up continues! Here goes! WEEK TWO The Food Week two brought on a lot of changes, all of which were definitely for the better.   I was no longer stuck to thin liquids and I suddenly had a whole new variety of food opened up to me.  I was able to eat pudding, protein shakes (I also was able to …

I think the thing most people are curious about, other than the surgery itself when they are thinking about it, is what happens afterwards.  What are those first few days and weeks like?   Well, I’ve heard every story under the sun from the woman who claims to have gone back to work only two days later, to people who were …

Well here I am, three weeks out from surgery and still amazed by how quickly the time is going by.  I kept meaning to do a big update here on my blog but I think Facebook is getting in my way.  I blab so much on there about everything that is going on and when it comes time to blog …

Well, in case you were wondering I’ve now had my surgery and am now home.  I’m doing very well and plan to sit down this weekend and write about my experience at the hospital and my first week home. For now, I just want to share some videos that I found really interesting.  Everyone seems to rave about this Dr. …

Biological Clock Embroidery by Maximum RABBIT Designs Ok, well it looks like this is becoming a bit of a series, this whole Confessions thing.  I’ve been trying to be as honest and open as possible about my efforts to lose weight, as well as about my issues with infertility.  I think the greater part of my reason for it is …

I don’t remember the last time I felt so completely taken by someone on the internet.  By taken, I mean shammed, bamboozled, tricked… It all started yesterday morning when I saw this video, made by Jonah Morwry, on George Takei’s Facebook Page… [youtube id=”TdkNn3Ei-Lg” width=”600″ height=”350″] Sad, right?  Honestly, I was sobbing my head off watching this video.  I shared …

I just read this article on my beloved ONTD (I LOVE this site, so great for celeb gossip) and I’m all sorts of torn about what I think about it. The gist is, the overweight lady on the bottom of the ad has a website that caters to chubby chasers, people who like big women.  She has photos for sale …

Last month I wrote an update on what the current situation is in regards to the fertility treatments.  In short, I have had six rounds of IUI (artificial insemination) with no luck, now I need to take a break to lose a further 15-20 kilos before we can start treatments again. I was a bit worried about how it was …
