The Journey Begins.



Recommended Posts

Ladies and Gents,

I have my first meeting with a doc today and scheduled for October 15th to be "banded" - long lead time so I can pay with my childcare rebate :)

I am a writer and am considering doing a no holes barred, raw, funny, sardonic, ironic and all-vomit auto biographical book about it all. I wanted to do it for travelling, for pregnancy, for launching a business - never managed it, this seems like as good a time as any to do it!

Anyway, that's what I'm thinking now, keen to learn all about it as it was fascinating watching the comings and goings at the doctor's office today - and I am terrified of a world without steak, bread and sushi - my three favourite things ever.

Will have a nosy around the forums when the child goes to bed.

Lily

Depends upon your POV.

I have a little sarcastic, humerous viewpoint, things they never tell you sort of stuff, or "You've got to be kidding!"

Ironicly, after 1 year it all did make sense, in a distorted kind of way, and now I have to laugh when I read the majority of posts here by newbies.

It's like getting thrown into the deep end of the pool before you know how to swim. Everybody told you how it will be, but there YOU are.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
