Time is just flying and posts are getting further and further apart. I'm going to try and change that although I don't always have much news.
I went and saw Dr Hamdorf last week. I was hoping to get another fill but he soon put the brakes on that. I am about 92 or 91 or 94 kg depending on what time of the day/week or month I get on them, Dr Hamdorf said that as I can still eat a fair amount of food and although I have restriction he would have thought I would have alot more given that in a 11ml bacd I have 10.5mls in that I can go for a buriameal (cant spell that) and he will consider giving me a stomach sleeve! I however completely reeled at the thought and have decided not to have the buriameal (liquid concrete drink) and just see what the new year brings. Going through another op and one so drastic is just a bit much for this head to get around right now. He also said he wanted me to see a plastic surgeon and see about a tummy tuck as he feels now is the time to consider that to be done. So easy for a Surgeon earning a squllion $ per year to suggest lol. I have made an appointment for Jan to see a plastic surgeon and at $ 7500 outta pocket expenses its isn't too bad well my MasterCard doesn't think so anyway. I'm going to ask about a boob job (never no maybe its discount for bulk). We haven't heard from the show so that might be that but it was fun anyway. They did say that at that stage it was still only an idea so I'm not sure if it is even going ahead. In the mean time I will see the plastic surgeon and get his advice. I have numerous fitness gurus at my work who all say that with exercise there will be no need to get a tummy tuck and I just nod and do a whole lot of ah ahhhhing cos there is no use in getting into a debate with that type of person. I tried to say to one of them 'listen buddy, try inflating a balloon for 40 years then deflate it and see if you can get it back into shape but they cant be told so I just nod and agree while I think about other stuff. One thing I have learnt through this journey is there are a lot of self taught experts on diet and exercise. Mostly they talk crap but I just let it go now cos I have learnt there is not good debating some expert lol.
I am thinking about doing a 7 day bike tour in March 09. Its all around the Margerot river/Bunbury region. You bike 60 - 90 kms a day. Im really keen to do it but as next year is a huge year in different costs (daughters wedding, mum and aunty coming to visit, girlfriend coming from NZ, tummy tuck, husband and son going to NZ then the three of us going to NZ) I might need to see how the over time is going before I book that one. It cost $1000 so will see. I still love my job. I had a prisoner tell me I look like I was in my 50s and he called me old girl. That kinda wrecked my day but Im over it now plus I had a new hair cut lol. Isnt it funny how words can wreck your day!
I am jogging 3 kms a day now - have stuck to it for a wee while now and I walk 2.3km at lunchtime when I am on duty. I feel heaps better for it too. I wish I could develop a love for exercise but I just find it a grind although I feel so great when its over!
I am still covered in this yucky rash thats driving me nuts with the itch but I cant seem to find whats causing it. I take enough hay fever pills to kill bees but still I have it.
No other news from me for now. I will post some new photos soon. I was looking for a fat photo to show someone at work and will scan the one I found it cos it was such a shock to me Ill be interested to see what you think ......................... xxx
