Puree Phase

Well its been a big couple of days for me, first i went to see the dietican and got my new puree diet for the next two weeks. The diet will consist of whatever food i have it will have to be blended into a liquid consistancy and be a half of cup and build up to 3/4 cup. I'm allowed to have up to 6 meals a day.

Breakfast.
Half a weetbix and milk, soggy or half a cup of porridge (no lumps)

Morning Smoko
Half a cup pureed fruit/yoghrt/trim custard

Lunch
Half a cup of thick pureed soup with meat and veges

Afternoon Smoko
Half a cup pureed fruit/yoghrt/trim custard

Dinner
Half a cup of blended meat and veges

Supper
Half a cup pureed fruit/yoghrt/trim custard

I'm also allowed some pasta and breads as well now but i won't be having any bread until i start back on real food. There will be NO steak pureed as well cause i don't want to ruin my taste for steak lol..... I aslo got weighed again on Friday and i lost another 7.6kgs and this takes my total to 23kgs in a month, i was over the moon when i looked day and i was 187.2kgs. I haven't been this light for about 7 years. I was a little disappointed casue i wanted to lose 10kgs but i'm not complaining cause a loss is a loss. My next goal is getting to 170's in the next two weeks.

On Sunday the 22 Feb i asked Shorty's parents for there blessing to marry their daughter, they said yes they do. It was the most nervous i have ever been and thank god they said yes lol. So shorty and i went for a drive to our new house we are building and we walked in casue the roof is on and had a look around. We we about to leave and then i asked her to marry me and she said YES!!! so now i'm engaged lol.

We went back to her parents place to tell her family the good news and we had celebrations drinks so i had a vodka and juice for mine and the rest had wine. That nite we had roast pork for dinner and we tried puree roast for me. I had half a cup of roast veges, 2 beans, pork and gravy pureed. It filled me up which i couldn't beleive so all i can say now is bring on puree!!!!!

The 1-14 Day Diet

Well i wouldn't call it a diet lol... Its more a liquid diet.

Breakfast
200mls of supradyn or protien shake

Smoko
250mls of Apple Juice

Lunch
200mls of Protien shake

Afternoon Smoko
250mls of Apple Jiuce

Dinner
200mls of Protien shake.

I am usuall drinking some more water during the day as well to take my intake up to 1500mls a day. I can have clear soup as well which i see as a treat for myself. I can also have skim milk once a day as well and thats only 200mls.

The worst thing about it all is i have to sip through a straw to drink all my fluid, can only have a 100ml/30 mins.

This diet will continue till next wednesday 25 Feb and then i start another 14 day diet which i'll find out today what it is. I'll also get weighed again today :)

Recovery Time

Well i wake up groggy as all shit and see Shorty sitting there smiling at me. Now i'm still pretty much out of it and i think the time was after 6pm. I keep falling in and out of sleep and Shorty then leaves at 8pm i think.

I didn't have much sleep that night cause i was in pain and the nurses were checking my blood pressure and sugar every 2 hours. I was finally awake again about 8am the next morning and Shorty was coming to see me again. When she got there i was able to get up and have a shower which was a painful one.

After my shower Dr Copp came to visit me and then told me he hit a blood vessel while stitching me up. Other than that the surgery was a success. At about 9am the nurse came in and took the staples out and i was free to leave the hospital.

Once leaving the hospital we went back to the apartments we were staying at to rest up for a couple of days. One the friday i was able to move around a bit more and thats when the bleeding started. We went back and seen Dr Copp and he changed the bandage, then shorty and i went to the chemist to get some more bandages by this time the bandage filled with blood and it was back to see Dr Copp.

These to pics are of the wound and blood loss.

So this bleeding went on till at least Sunday night and by monday morning it had stopped. I have 5 scars from the operation and i'll show you then if you ask to see them lol.

Surgery Time

So after my few weeks on the pre-op diet and i went back to the deitican to get my 1-14 day after op diet i was weighted again on the 6 Febuary. i was kinda scared about jumping on the scales and still being over 200kg. Well i jumped on and what do you know, i was 198.8kg!!! I was so surprised and happy i couldn't beleive it!!!

I got my 1-14 day after op diet and just continued on with my pre-op diet. Shorty and I flew done to Brisbane on the 10 Feb a day before my operatoin and decided todays lunch and dinner was gonna be a good one considering this was my last meal for at least a month. For lunch we had kfc and for dinner Shorty and I went to Lonestar Steakhouse for dinner and we ordered garlic bread for starters, mains were rump steak, chips and salad for her and ribs on the bone with chips and salad for me. And dessert was chocolate and macadania nut cake with whipped cream and ice cream. It was the best feed i had in ages and i really enjoyed it.

So the next morning i arrive at the hospital at 8am for the op and we are waiting around for 30 mins before i get asked to come in and see the nurse. I go through all my details with the nurse and then get my blood pressure taken, sugar taken and then get weighted again. To my surprise i was 194.8kg which means i lost another 4kg between friday and wednesday. I get told to strip done and put the gown on, as well as these stockings to make sure you don't get blood clots as well as little foot gloves lol...so then i'm laying on the bed watching tv and the male nurse comes in and says i gotta shave your stomach for the op. After this is done i'm still laying in ward waiting for my op, at about 11am i am moved to the theatre waiting room. Then the wait continues till about 3.30pm by this time i am pretty pissed off for waiting around so long. I get taken to theatre 13 and then the get all the shit connected to moniter me while i'm going under and then have a 10 minute chat with the anethestisis (spelling). Next thing i know i wake up back at my private room.

Diet Time

Well its been a while since i added something....

I started my 3 week pre op diet on the 25 January after seeing the deitican two days earlier. She set out a no carb high protein diet which included protein shakes. Before seeing the deitican i had one last meal of hungry jacks lol i really enjoyed that meal lol. When i was there i was weighted again and the scales shot up to 200kgs and was just bouncing at that weight which meant i was a lot heavier than 200kgs. My guess is that i weighted about 210 kgs so i'lll use this figure as my starting weight.

This is what i usally had for a day with this new diet, i wasn't allowed any bread, pasta or potato;

Breakfast
2 eggs with onion and tomato mainly boiled or scrambled

Smoko
Protein shake and some fruit.

Lunch
200 grams of tuna with salad no dressing. Salad was usually lettuce, tomato, onion and low fat cheese.

Afternoon Smoko
Protein shake

Dinner
Usually 200g - 300g of fish, chicken or red meat with salad. Salad same as lunch and usually had some lemons as well.


Now this diet was good i didn't it at all, it done the job of helping me lose weight. One weekend in Townsville i went off the deit, had kfc and red rooster for lunch a couple of days and then dinner was steak, salad and chips with garlic bread as well lol other than i sticked pretty much to this diet.
