Hello from Norway

[bellabill 253]

You are making the right step to a healthier you! My step daughter lives in Norway in Kristiansund ! I bet you know where that is since it's on the western coast. I have not been there but will like to do some day. My husband has been there many years ago visiting his daughter.

I have not had the surgery yet but will soon. Trying to decide a gastric bypass or the sleeve.

Good luck on your journey! Lisa

One week to go. The weight loss has seemed to stopped up a bit, but no worries. I'm going all liquid now. The last week its all shakes, but no rattle and roll

I'm getting really nervous for some reason, and I can not keep focused on work. My mind constantly driftes. Guess it's natural though, but annoying even so.

Had a nice hike yesterday, with the wife, kids and dog. 6km walk along the sea. Even though it really rained in the end, it was nice.
One thing i'm really looking forward to post op, is to buy a new gore tex jacket. The one i have is not waterproof any more. Dont know if it was me or the dog that was most wet yesterday, and the dog went for a swim.

My daughter ( I have twins that are turning 9 ) asked me yesterday if i was looking forward to buying new clothes. I had to be honest and told her that I don't like shopping for clothes, but I guess i had to when daddy gets his "tiny tummy". She looked at me with all the wisdom of a 8 and 3/4 year old girl, and said " daddy, don't worry, i can shop for you" So she will be my fashion consultant. My son ( the other part of the dynamic duo) could not see the joy of shopping for clothes.

Sorry for the ramblings, but its kinda good to put the thoughts down on, well not paper i guess, but in writing.

@@bellabill I know where Kristiansund is. Its a good 600 km further north. Been on the airport there twice.

We are getting closer and closer. The nervousness is kinda gone. I just wanna get it over with now, and start the real work after surgery. This feels like my first deployment as a soldier. Months and months of preparing, training body and mind, and the last few days before is long and full of thoughts. Well, Sir, this not so old soldier is ready Sir. Boots are laced, bags are packed.

Hi all. I have'nt been her for a while. Time has just flown. Had my surgery, and everything went well. No pain, no complication. I had no problems afterwards either. Some pain if i eat to fast, but thats the only thing. I was in for my three month check up, and I have lost 36 kg since my first weigh in at the surgeon.

I have gone down two sizes in shirts , and gone from 42 inch to 38 inch in jeans. I'm starting at the gym again, and are of to work out in about an hour
