So much news so little time. I rang another weight loss surgeon who also does tummy tucks and he is happy to see me with a veiw to do the plastic surgery so I have an appointment in March (obviously the waiting time is getting huge with these surgeons now). I am really looking forward to it and the fact his tucks are only $3500 so thats going to be a huge saving if it pans out. He has been doing them for 15 years as well as the lap band so he must have some pretty good experience. It will give me more time to get my wieght down a bit too. Dr Allen was interesting with his questions to me when I saw him. He really nailed it when he said its hard to stay motivated to lose wieght when someone gets more and more lose skin as they are hyper critical anyway then they have to deal with the (ugliness) of whats left. I must say thats how I feel.
My daughter is getting married in 2 weeks so I am hard out trying to lose a few kilos (as always try and do a years worth of dieting in 4 weeks lol) My mum and Aunty are coming over from NZ and so is some ex in laws so it will be great to see people I havent seen for years (I still get on the the ex in laws). Sadly my daughter is suffering from obesity too and it really breaks my heart. She has a short stature so cant carry any extra wieght without it looking like a lot more. I know better than anyone there is nothing I can say to her but I just gently try and encourage her. Funny how my boys are all race horses and my girl is the one with a wieght problem (aint it always the way). I will put some new photos up over the next few days. Oh and the last bit of news is that my sone and his girlfriend are having a baby. It sorta went like this on Christmas eve. (Amongst the tears) by the way mum Toni is pregnant
(((((((((MERRY CHRISTMAS))))))))))). i am over the shock now but still very sad for him as he is only 17 but I have learnt that you can educate and advise but at the end of the day they are going to do whatever the hell they want to do regardless! xx

Update Update

Hello. Well it looks like I still get hits so I am gonna try and keep blogging. I went and saw Dr Allen about the tummy tuck. Fuck what a soul destroying kind of adventure that was. Don't get me wrong he was lovely but when you have to undress and he picks up your stomach and starts giggling it around whist grunting mmmm very heavy and saying no wonder you are so critical of your shape miss. I left feeling somewhat down but somewhat excited that I had taken the plunge. I thought still having 20kg to go (according to BMI) he would say wait but he said do it now which was great. Well it would be better if I had 8k on standby. I have tentatively booked it in for April. It is going to be painful but as I have had a Caesar and he said a tuck isn't as bad then I am OK with that lol. He will remove about 5 kg so that's 5 I don't have to work at hehe. One of the ladies is having it done for $3500 by her wieght loss surgeon so I am going to talk to his surgery to see if he will take on another Dr's patient and if he will I will ask him to see me. Be great to save that extra money. I havent done too much exercise due to the heat (yeah well that excuse works for me ok) but will get back into it soon. Blog soon xx

Hi all (if anyone is still reading this) I cant believe it was the beginning of December since the last post. Far out. I dont know where the time has gone. Andy (husband) is now at the academy training to be a prison officer. He will be posted at the same prison as me which will be great. I havent loss anymore wieght but didnt gain anything over Christmas. I did however gain 3kg after Christmas so go figure that. Dam it. Gosh its still an ongoing battle. I have an appointment to see a plastic surgeon tomorrow for a tummy tuck. I will post the outcome of what he says. Such a lot of money but I feel like it will be worth it to finish the journey as it were. Will post again after the appointment. Happy New Year to you all
