Hi Everyone,

So, what did you all think of the Olympics? I was glued to my television set from start to finish. I told a friend recently that I was team GB's secret ingredient, as I am sure we would not have won so many medals without my constant advice, encouragement and screaming and shouting at the telly!!! I do feel I made all the difference! :wub:

Did you all enjoy it too, did you think we did a good job? I thought London looked great and the venues all looked wonderful too. I felt really proud to be British.

Well, what else have I been doing over the last month... I broke my second long stall, only by a pound so far, but every little helps. I worked out that since my operation I have lost 1.08lbs per week. Now that is slow! BUT, it is a loss, I haven't gone up in weight and they do say that if you lose it slowly you give your skin time to recover. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed).

How is everyone else doing? I feel totally confident in my sleeve, and don't worry about going out to eat anymore. I know I can eat anything, just not a lot of it. I still have never been sick or slimed or had horrendous pain, so think I am doing pretty well. (Either that or I am the luckiest sleever ever) My only bugbear is the slow loss, but I am even coming around to accepting that. (probably because nothing I do seems to make any difference)

I am still exercising every day, still don't love it, but keep on doing it regardless. So feel pretty proud of myself for that. Have bought some material and made myself some new clothes. In brighter colours too. Partly because it is summer, and partly because I have lost some weight and feel brighter about myself too. My husband is still incredibly supportive to me, and is always telling me how good I look. God bless him, if ever I feel a little down about the slow weightloss, he is there to pick me up and make me feel better about myself. This journey has been so much easier having him with me every step of the way. How people manage without a loving a supportive partner I do not know. He is still the only person that knows I have had the operation apart from you guys of course, but that is the way I want it.

Well, I hope to hear from you all, about the olympics, your weightlosses and life after the sleeve in general.

Regards Phoenix
