I've lost another 1kg in 2wks so that's 2kgs in 4wks. I might just get 3-4kgs off in 6wks like requested by new surgeon. :) :) :)
May have sweated it off thou. Ha ha
Plenty of water and protein replaced even more of my small carb allowance.

Its a long road.... even with an op.

I quite envy the American style. If insurance covers it or you pay yourself.... it only takes weeks or months if you're unlucky.

I'm sure it's been 18mths since I said yes to my diabesity specialist. Another month or more yet....
I must have the patience of a Saint.
I'm sure it will be worth the wait. :) :) :)
Especially if I can get unpainful walking... running/jogging, cycling and swimming again. A numb toe or two won't stop me.

I bet you all sick of hearing about my upcoming op. Even I'm bored with the anticipation.

I don't have a date but surgeon has sent me for the compulsory endscopy investigations and I'm booked for it at the end of the month. Gulp!

I went to see my consultant psychiatrist in my care programme approach review meeting and we discussed my self-neglecting and other symptoms and she says it sounds like I've got a nasty type of Depression in addition to my Asperger Syndrome. And also, Vanessa, my care coordinator is soon taking me to look around a new 24 hour care supported housing establishment in Croydon to meet the staff and the other residents.

Oh I loved living in Croydon. I had a 2 floor flat new build in walking distance to IKEA and frankie and benny's. If I remember right a little arcade too.
A lovely park near by too. All on the tram route.
You should love it. :)

So not long to go now. Of course you are nervous about it, but am sure all will be fine @ickihun.

I think I've lost the 3kgs surgeon asked of me. My scales are hit and miss. I forgot to measure in Boots. The kids are a huge distraction.
On Tuesday gone I was 2kgs weight off. So this morning scales measurement says 3rd off.
Although I got measured at surgeons clinic on an afternoon.

I'm off fizzy diet drinks. Water seems to be a good weight loss aid.

No cheese or nuts either as I forgot to buy them. I'm nibbling on my finger nails instead.
 
Your doing well. It's really hard to get weight off and more so if you have other health problems that prevent it. But 3 kilo's is a milestone. Every kilo is a milestone. Good on you.
 
I think you're doing absolutely superbly too @ickihun especially considering you're in so much pain/discomfort and have the kids to look after. You're doing much better than I am and you've got heaps more illnesses plus a family to love and look after. You're an inspiration to me even though I only have myself to look after and I can't even do that properly. It's just believing I can, my self-confidence and self-esteem are so low I'm full of self-doubt and self-consternation and it doesn't help situations with Max bawling at me and calling me stupid most of the time. But I won't have that to worry about in my Croydon 24 hour care supported housing flat thanks to my care team and my good church friend Graham for their hard work and encouragement and DCUK, of course.

So please be encouraged my dear @ickihun I think you're doing absolutely splendidly and working really hard at your diet and weight loss in preparation for your bariatric surgery as well as impeccable disability management techniques. I'm proud of you.

I know Jesus is too.

Lots of love,

This morning, I prepared and ate a small ham sandwich with thinly sliced tomato, ground black pepper, salt and a tiny amount of salad cream and halved the sandwich and had a cup of coffee with full cream milk and 3 sweetener tablets.

What a very thoughtful person you are @JohnnyBaker if you think you have low self esteem and low confidence and full of self doubt then you more then make up for it with your thoughtfulness and humility. I don't know who max is but i wouldn't have him calling you stupid because your far from that. Not a lot of people know themselves which is what humility is. Good for you. I hope you do get your 24 hour care supported housing flat soon. Good luck.
 
My blood sugar after my morning tablets that include 500 mg Metformin and my Lixisenatide 20 mcg glucagon-like peptide subcutaneous injection and my sandwiches was 9.4.
 
My blood glucose reading in my glycaemic index was today at 1:15 post meridian, British Summer Time on this day, Thursday 23rd August 2018 Anno Domini was an awesome 6.1 millimoles per litre! Cool!
 
I had a sweet and sour chicken and rice ready meal and some sliced cucumber, salad cream and salt and pepper for my lunch.
