Just a little update

Today is week 8 after surgery aaaaaaaaaaand I lost 19,7 kg or in your 39,4 pounds.

Aaand I am felling great

Another update for you all

Hello World…

we are now 5 weeks after surgery…

and I had my first struggle with still standing weight loss. There have been 2 weeks in which I did not loose one single gram. OMG that was really stressing me out.

I knew that this stage would come, but I have honestly not expected it to come so fast …. but finally I came over this as well…

My current stats are at 16 kg loss — that is 32 pounds in 5 weeks!

As I know i should be checking to give my body enough protein I joined a german webpage recently that is http://fddb.info/ this page is amazing. They have tons of single food items listed and you can select what you have eaten a day, this page calculates the percentage of protein, carbohydrates and fat these food items in total had.. it is amazing.

I am doing this since yesterday — this is sort of selfcontrol. Cause I really must try to get more protein for me.

So this is what I had the last 2 days

I know that the calories are amazingly low … but currently I can just not get more into myself lol (couple of weeks ago I would have never said that – trust me)

So now on the next topic … the vitamins. I am still struggling with the vitamins I have to take every day. My surgeon did recommend Bariatrics from the States. BUT these are not available on the German market and we can also not simply order them, as the German drugs law does count these as medicine not as food supplemention.

So until now I am trying to keep going with what is available on the German market – but these are not chewable. So I tried smashing these pills up and took them from the spoon with tea afterwards — trust me HORROR.

Then I tried just braking them in 2 halfs and swallow them like I did with all pills before the surgery. Well they go down my stomach, and they stay inside BUT they hurt for hours!!!

In the meantime I have contacted Bariatrics in the States in order to offer them to become the European wholesaler — and guess what NO REACTION at all! *F%&K*

Well this is more or less it for today …

unless you wanna see another chart of my weightloss… if not then just bye for now *hugs*

Hugs

Hello World — I am back

Yes I am back from Hospital now for 3 hours … and I do fell well — even though it is still painful.

In total I have been away for a week… what is a very short time given the fact of that massive surgery.

In Germany they will not let you prior to 6 days after surgery — I know that this is different in the states… and I have been told that lots of complications you get is because of leaving the hospital too early.

So well here is the story:

Prior to surgery you have to follow a 2 weeks liver shrinking diet. This means you are hardly allowed to eat. All you can have is soup (plain) water, tea, coffee and protein shakes (here you gotta make sure that the stuff you buy has 80 g/ Protein of 100 g powder)

I got mine from a body builder webpage online and it wasn´t even very expensive.

You are allowed to get up to 3 of these shakes — even though the taste is quite nice the feeling in your mouth is just funny this is why I usually only had 1-2 shakes a day.

For dinner you are allowed to get 100 g of fish or turkey grilled (no fat)

1 cup of boiled vegetable or raw vegetable as much as you like and 1 cup of potatoe.

I tried to keep me away from the potatoe as the carbohydrate / starch will harm the liver shrinking process.

So in these 2 weeks I had potatoes only 3 times — and trust me on the first time eating them I had tears in my eyes for eating mashed potatoe and tomato salad — that was like heaven calling.

I will not say it was an easy time — but it was manageable… even though I can guarantee that if it would not have been for the surgery and to minimize my risk with it i would have NEVER ever been able to keep this diet. Strange how the will comes up in such situations.

Sooo— on surgery day you will be woken up very early to have 1 liter of real sweet tea and you are usually the first one on the schedule as they never really know how long they need.

My surgery took them 2,5 hours cause they had to take out an old gastric stimulator I still had in me.

It turned out all right … and as long as you have the IV painkiller everything is wonderful— When they get you off this .. then uuhhhhh… but ok this is what I wanted so I won´t complain.

Surgery itself you get nothing at all, next day you can get 3/4 litre of tea, and the following it is as much tea as you want. You see that gives you a party feeling

So then the next day it will be soup 3x a day and tea, or instead of soup an proteine shake (low calorie version)

Entirely I still have one week left in liquid phase … so another long week with soup or shake —

but it is ok as I am NOT hungry at all *yeah*

After these 2 weeks you will have 3 days of mashed stuff like mashed potatoe, mashed carrot or any fruit you can easily mash…

aaaaaaaaaaaand then back to normal food…. but given normal food is a just to plain sentences.

My pouch (rest stomach) has the capacity of 20 ml… so I imagine that I can maybe eat 1/4 of a toast! But hell I seeing this day soon and I can tell you now already that this 1/4 toast will be like heaven…

I am not sure if I should give you pics on this blog.. and if I do what should I show..?? Surgery scars? Fat body?

Well I am thinking of it…

so far I just want to let you know that from the 2 weeks pre surgery diet until today i lost 20 pounds!!

That is 3 weeks only!

Hello world!

I will be using my post from the Freebie Telegraph (SL Free Fashion) as an intro for this blog and will slightly modify it

I will be starting a new RL life pretty soon — omg what a way to enter this post, but this will be as having a second BDay.

Or let´s call it the cure of a life long disease.

I am suffering from adiposity my entire life… starting from kindergarden. Even there I have been double as all the other kids. This has gone like a red path through my entire life and I have been treated like a lazar big parts of that life.

I grew up and still was not able to win the fight agains my adiposity, even though I tried every bloody thing… but it seems that my will has not been strong enough to just change everything. I know lots of you out there might not understand that, all of you that never had problems with their weight.

I am 31 years old now — and now the first side affects of the adiposity seem to struck me. Now over a year ago I saw a TV documentation about an american lady with a weight of nearly 600 pounds. She had a gastric bypass operation and sadly did not make it. She left 2 kids behind.

I was sitting in front of the TV crying for her, for her kids – and also a bit crying for me and my daughter. As I have seen her captived to a special bed. Not able to leave that bed anymore, and I even I am far not where she was I decided that things must change… just to make sure that my life will never end there. — And this is what they said in this documentation that is was her will to encourage other ppl suffering from adiposity to get help before it is too late.

So well I started seeing thousands of doctors (guuu I hate them and usually cure myself if I have anything) and got lots of certificates for the various side effects of the adiposity I already have or the ones that will be coming soon.

This is what you have to do in order to send a request to your health insurance and get them to pay it. I joined a self-help group and met many ppl there that had already changed their lifes succesfully. This is what gave me the power to go that long way… and it really took me a year to get the approval from my health insurance.

Surgery day is October 7th!

This will be my second BDay — if nothing goes bad.

The last 2 weeks I have spend having a liquid diet in order to smaller my stomach and my liver to ensure that the surgeons have an easier work which will be less risky for me.

Tomorrow (monday) is my last day home – Tuesday my mum will be taking me to the hospital.

I am not scared right now, only excited… and I can not wait.

My stuff is not yet packed… and I will start doing this tonight I guess.

Well —- this is something like a soul strip for me, and I am sitting here having tears in my eyes.

There is only about a handful ppl in SL that knew this and they have gone this way with me.

As I have experienced in RL you are treated like a lazar if you do NOT match the standard values… that might be one reason why I am such an SL addict Look at Shania — she is all that I have never managed to be in RL… pretty, slim…

and it is easier too make friends in a body like this.

Well even after the surgery I will never be looking like Shania – but it is my aim to deduct my weight by 50% in the next 1,5 years! A big aim — but manageable.

So — ok — I guess that is enough here… I will be gone I guess about 10 days from Tuesday! Then I will be back, as I am not sure how I will be feeling after that I do not instantly promise you blogging — But I will — as soon as I feel like it.

Hope to see you all again — soon.

P.S: If this has encouraged you to maybe start something for your own (if you are in the same situation) check you tube for gastric bypass … you will see amazing results.
