Well another month (or 2) has passed by and thing have changed a little .... lets see ... after more than 2 years being banded I have had to have a little unfill because I was so much struggling to keep food down , I had the dreaded night coughs and was PBing almost every meal ... not good -  in fact it was horrible... but it did bring on a 7 KG loss since christmas .... Last year I only lost 1 KG and in the 4 months since Christmas I lost 7 Kg ... says everything about being tight ... however since I had my unfill .. I can now eat for England ... I dont think I have had this much ability for 2 years + .. and I do feel I am unfortunately making the most of it ...boo hiss ....  I have a second weight condition at the moment to tell you about ..... last Tuesday I had varicose veins removed from my right leg (they have been very obvious and giving me a little jib since my weight loss) and on Sunday  - tomorrow I will see my surgeon (also my WLS) 5 days after the leg surgery and I will demand a small fill as well ... I do not like this freedom to eat ... It is way to easy ......

Any way as all ways a photo or two from me and this time my new water feature in the garden ... It is my new place to relax and chillax ...... any one for a glass of wine in the garden ?







hope you are all well.....

Ciao

Sorry Sorry Sorry .. there I have got it over and done with ... I have promised you all both an end of year 1 and end of year 2 post .. and I have not done it ...I'm a SLACKER

I read Blogs .. not as often as say 12 months ago , but I still drop by and read ... I still feel the support - no  "Love" that blogging brings (Don't tell anyone I say I feel the love - they will think I'm soft)  but I just don't feel it myself any more and I think that is a real shame - the support and encouragement from the ladies our there ( I only have Alan as a male following me ) in the early days was very special. I note that so many blogger in the weight loss (surgery - banding community) seem to disappear after 12 to 18 months.

So blogging apart - I'm back into the swing of things and having put a little weight on since Christmas , I have now lost 6 Kg this year  - yeah .....

I have come to realize  - as we all do once we have lost a little weight - it is not the answer to life ... we feel better, we feel happier - but we still have the same problems as before the weight loss as being obese .... life is more than weight loss...

I dont have much else else to add except I'm still here  - struggling - and one night after a couple glasses of RED , I will open my thoughts and sole and tell you about my Journey so far after 26 months - the Good the bad and warts...

So as always - some flattering pictures that make me look good :-)
