An Aussie Foodie's Journey to a Smaller Ass

Married and living in West London, I was born in Australia.

No kids, no pets, just me and the Hussyband living with the Mother-in-Law, but we are heading up to Liverpool early next year to start anew somewhere you can buy a house without going into debt for the rest of your natural life.

I have been thinking about having weight loss surgery for a long time - way before I met my beloved Hussyband. A friend in Tasmania had it and it worked wonders for her. But I wasn't ready then. I was having way too much fun being the happy drunken party girl. Yes I was big - but it never stopped me from having fun, and by having fun I mean picking up lots of strange men for gratuitous fun of course! Think Trainwreck - I know when I saw it last week I thought that it was a biographical movie of my 20's and early 30's!

I am blogging my journey together with pics, videos and recipes as I go. It can be found at http://aussiefoodiesjourney.blogspot.co.uk/

Hope you will check it out. It is a big step we are taking, but whilst it is hard, it would be harder to stay the way we are now.

Much love,

Elisa

@@Shotochick Every time I read the word "Hussyband" it made me laugh! Now I have to go back and re-read.

The fabulous thing is every time I see my Hussyband he makes ME laugh as well!

Glad I found your blog. I'm having my sleeve done on the 26th October. I feel like I have found a new tribe.

It is amazing the support all of us sleevers give each other :) For some the support they get on the forums is more than they get from friends and family - I am lucky, very very lucky. My husband is 100% behind me, and I am out of the closet to friends and family which is making socialising much easier. Less than a week for you - how are you feeling?

I'm not doing too bad although I did try to eat Optifast Soup for the second time today...will not be trying a third! It repeated on me all day and made me feel quite sick. I'm on the down hill run to surgery. Bring it on.
