Things to be Excited for When I get FIT
Register for a cycling class in March
Bike with my Dad in May from my university to home! (60 miles)
Getting away with wearing only ONE sports bra (not 2 or 3)
Buying any clothes that I want
Wearing normal width boots
Having a regular towel fit around me
Run a 5K with my dad
RunDinsey 10k 2014 with my dad
Sit on an airplane comfortably
People actually don't mind sitting next to me in class or on the bus (if I get into grad school)
To not be fetishized on dating websites
Actually making eye contact with people instead of wishing I was invisible
Not be afraid to smile in photos because it makes my face look even fatter
Taking the stairs instead of dreading them
Not being hot all the time (although my hands and feet are like ice now)
GET TO ONDERLAND
be able to do at least 5 real pull-ups and 20 push ups

And finally, to try to love myself even though everyday is a struggle.
 
In other news, I went to my school's gym on Friday to get used to everything. I brought my friend with me Monday night, and I went tonight, too. Unfortunately, I got such bad blisters on Monday, I could only stick to the bike tonight.
 
I'm doing really lousy getting in all my fluids. I think I might get in about 40oz? I'm not really keeping track of my protein, but I estimate it's somewhere around 40g-50g. I think working out helps deplete any carbs I do consume. I've been in a stall for a while now, but the scale finally moved tonight. Although every scale is different, I have a doctor's appointment on Friday so hopefully my new nutritionist will be okay will my weightloss.

10 days to go and I can hardly wait, I'm almost counting down the secs. My emotions are all over the place, one moment I'm jumping up and down like a child waiting for Christmas, and then five mins later I'm in a panic, wondering if I'm doing the right thing, and how much it's going to hurt, will I be able to drink enough fluids ect, then back to how great I'm going to look and how much I'm going to enjoy working out like I used to. arghhhhhhhhhhhh... I hope it's all pretty normal...
 
I'm now on one small, healthy meal a day and two protein shakes, I spent the $50 and got the large can of isopure vanilla, and I mix it with unsweetened almond milk it was a good purchase, I love the taste, it reminds me of an old fashioned malt shake yum!
 
Oh yes and I started walking again, I guess as they are going to make me walk in the hospital I had better get used to it so I thought I would try and get in a mile a day for starters, I made my goal today
 
thats about it for today, the pre operation diet is driving me nuts, I'm not hungry in my stomach at all, but my head is constantly like a child screaming for food, snacks and trash im demented by it... anyone out there? anyone know what I'm going on about? and anyone got any advice? apart from telling my head to hush up lol

Ok, so this is my first ever attempt to blog.. so here goes..
 
I am 26 years old, originally from India but been living in UAE since age 5.
 
I have had a weight problem all my life, I was always the chubby kid, the fat girl, the obese college student etc. Guess I just got tired of being a two dimensional character, of being defined by my weight.
I wanted people to know me, the real me, so after years of dieting, attempting to exercise and still not losing weight or losing weight only to gain it all back plus some, I decided on surgery.
 
I got sleeved on 30/10/2012, at the time I weighed 129kgs, today I weighed myself and my current weight is 112kgs.
 
Surprisingly enough, I haven't had a lot of trouble with my diet, only threw up once, and that was my own fault for eating too quickly. After the first 2 weeks I was able to manage semi-soft food just fine and now can easily manage a small piece of grilled chicken or fish.
Haven't had carbs since the sleeve though, sometimes really miss bread.. though all I have to do at those times is pull out my largest pair of jeans and try them on in front of the mirror and see the difference in my shape. I have dropped almost 3 jeans sizes, which is absolutely fabulous as far as I am concerned.
 
Hmm what else? Protein was initially very difficult, had been given those really nasty protein powders that I absolutely could not stand let alone have 3 times a day, looked everywhere for an alternative and finally found a clear protein drink which is much more palatable at least to me. So the drink gives me about 40g protein as day and the rest is from my diet which is almost exclusively chicken and seafood..
 
I get cold very quickly since surgery, so have learned my lesson and go to work all bundled up.
 
Telling people about the surgery is something I've been rather conflicted over, I've told people at work and close friends I really trust, but not relatives or family friends. It is sometimes difficult to explain away my limited portions but usually just say that I am on a diet.
 
Guess that's all for now, sorry my thoughts are all over the place, not a writer by any stretch of the imagination
 
Cheers!
