9 September 2011 - Update

Hi All,

Time for another update I guess. I have been pretty happy with how things have been going. I am losing generally between 0.75 and 1kg per week. The last couple of weeks have been a wee bit funny. I have felt that come weigh in time that I would see little weight loss and things have come up that meant I haven't been a strictly controlled as I would like to be. but the last 2 (fortnightly) weigh ins have shown me to have lost 1.7 and 2kg. I think this is a sign that overall I have made the changes in lifestyle required and "normal" is a lot different that it used to be - so abnormal isn't as bad as it used to be!

One thing I am very grateful for is the support I have received from the staff at the organisation I decided to have the surgery with - Obesity Surgery Wellington. I hear stories about infrequent/large inflations and adjustments or even little after surgery support at high cost. With them the payment for surgery covers 2 years worth of post surgery treatment! This is awesome stuff and I have found them all to be incredibly helpful and supportive. This is a big thing, and I would recommend anyone considering surgery to factor this in to their calculations.
