June 09
I really struggled throughout the month of May so there is no June entry or pics, I just blocked it out and told people I'd "forgotten" whereas the truth is - the scales weren't too impressive, so I didn't bother with the pics, I had time out!!!

4 month mark
Doing ok, could be better. But bluntly - I am not as strict as I should be. Need to focus my head more - it's the lazy part.

ooooh been a tough month - yo-yo-ing a lot. Been so frustrating, but it's slowly moving again - committment is what I have to remember.
Started water aerobics today - OMG, it was awesome. I loved it. Keeping that up for sure.

I can't believe I have lost 15.9kg since New Years Day. I'm so proud of myself.
For the first time ever of being on a diet, I can see the road ahead rather than focusing on the 'bad food choices'. I can't wait for another couple of months to 'see' the physical result in photos ... wohoooo ... GO ME!!!!!!

Day after surgery. Feeling good so far. Went visiting Margie (brother in laws mother who had same day surgery) at 4.30am this mornin, I could hear her chatting to her roomate so I was nosey and went to investigate.
Physically doing well, walking, getting up and down ok. Have to support stomach while doing so for slight pain - largest incision where the port is the most painful but bearable - more of an ache.
I was pretty dozy after the surgery - my first ever hospital stay. Hated coming out of the anaesthetic in recovery, freaked me out a bit, wanted to rip the tubes from my nose and arms ... eeewww.
Slept relatively well during the night, only really woke up when the nurse came in.
Margie and I went walking around the ward at 6am as well as the adjoinging ward, that was nice and early - think the nurses were a bit shocked to see it.
Very restless today and not wanting to lie in bed, preferring to sit instead, it's less aching on my back.
So all n all - feeling fine, wait for Dr Watson's visit to see if I can go home.
Fingers crossed.
For the record, the nurse informed me the doctor isn't coming till late, but if I feel fine, I can go home - so by 9am - I was on my way. 26 hours in hospital all up!!
Happy :)

Still took photos but can't see much of a difference, but I guess it won't be too noticeable for a while yet, except in my tummy when I face right (maybe I am lopsided)
