Morning all. Cant believe nearly a month has gone past and I havent blogged. Its been a shit month for me personally but thats a whole different Oprah show!
Band is still really restricted although I have decided that the studies are right and alcohol must be INCREDIBLY fattening cos I hardly manage food but have been drinking quite a bit and so the scales just stopped moving down and even swing a bit up grrrrr. So, I have pushed the Kahlua to the back of the cupboard and havent bought anymore red but have bought diet coke to have with the vodka.
I have had two weeks off work and was going to walk everyday but those two weeks are almost up and alas the only place I have walked it to the driveway to get into the car.
Oh oh most exciting news is my friend who is having a new WLS. She is part of a trial and its costing her nothing (but the hard work that goes with WLS). I dont know what the procedure is exactly but Im so thrilled for her and excited about our future shopping trips woo hoo. Ha I havent actually seen her in over 11 years so itll be a good one lol.
I have added a couple of shots of our news pups. Cant replace Bella but Murphy and Lilly are so much fun. Right well must be off and get back into my shit month. Will blog again soon. Hope you are all doing great.

Hello all. The scales are resting tentatively on 86kg today. Probably will sway up a bit by the end of the day then down again tomorrow but I'm ok with 86kg. The band is still super tight although I have learnt to drink my meals well and I can eat nuts so me and my bag of cashews go many places hand in hand.
My news today is (apart from the 86kg) that I am writing a book. Probably called something along the lines of Dianne's bariatric journey or something lol, In fact if you can think of a good name Id love to hear it. Its really bloody hard trying to put it all together but I am ready to give it a go I think. Funny how confronting its been already. Its been amazing to look back over my life and then the last two years. Its sure been a road with a lot of twists, turns hills, and slips. I will let you know how I get on and if you have any ideas I would love to hear them.
We are currently getting 4 eggs from our chickens which is fantastic for the cake tin but not so good for my son and husbands waistlines lol. Poor Andy is working out so hard then I go make a batcch of afghans with 200gms of butter in them.
Well no more news for now but will blog you again soon xx
