I went to see my Nonno ( grandfather) the other day when he opened the door the got this look on his face and said. " you are so beautiful. You've lots weight you so skinny. I'm so proud of you. Good job" 

My Nonno is not one to over compliment but all night he kept saying to me you are so beautiful. He was thrilled for me. It's felt great. 

I changed my profile photo on Facebook I wanted to write about my 6month anniversary but I chose to say nothing. My photo had over 40 likes and 40 comments about how amazing I looked. People I work with. Friends. Family. School friends I haven't see since high school all commented. I really didn't think it would attract so much attention. 

People have noticed. 

I feel like this surgery has let me be the person I knew I always wanted to be 

A slow loss month

A few days ago I didn't think I was dropping any  weight. I didn't know what to do to kick start the big drops again. 

Well.    

Looking back on my weight for the last month I have lost 3kg. I was feeling a little disheartened. But then I remembered how hard it use to be to drop 3 kgs in 3 months let alone in a month. I need to stop stressing. 

But.......

Then I thought a bit about it. I've been on holidays and Thursday I went back to work. I wanted to increase my water intake and I made a delicious protein bar to add as a snack as well as hummus vege sticks and left overs for lunch. I've done this for two days and I've lost 1kg. So I'm sticking to my daily bucket of water (I've done nothing but pee for 2 days) and my protein bar snack as well as a good breakfast of yoghurt berries and oats and a delicious dinner of what ever the family is happening and I think things should start moving again. 

My next major goal is 80kg. I want to get there by the time my 6 month appointment comes up in Feb. 

Happy days all. Happy days!!!

Success!! My BMI was 44.4 and OFF THE CHART. Not any more!!!
