Day 36 pre-op 8 days pre vlcd. Dinner last night: Nachos with chilli beef. Our sons flight was cancelled so we needed to change him to a different flight – which my Wife did – and he was now on the 9:30 flight instead of the 8:15 flight. That’s ok – he was still going…
Day 37 pre-op. 9 days pre vlcd. Dinner last night: Ham, Eggs, Baked Beans and Toast. Most of the external work for the Wi-Fi extender has been done by my Wife, so this morning I did the internal bit of plugging in the hardware (which she will properly attach to the wall later) and setting…
Day 38 pre-op 10 days pre vlcd. Dinner last night: Lamb Cutlets marinated in lemon juice and pepper, with Steam-fried Rice. I was listening to an audiobook this morning – “Diary of a Fat Girl” – and in one of the chapters she was talking about her bath towel wrapping around her and how she…
Day 40 pre-op 12 days pre vlcd. Dinner last night: Fish Tacos w Salad. I went into town this morning hoping to get my Wife an Anniversary present for the 31st but unfortunately the shop that I wanted to get something at didn’t have what I wanted, so I’ll have to look for a Plan…

A regular morning of doing dishes and the usual housework chores indoors, while my Darling fixed the entry gate from the driveway to our house-yard, which has been dodgy since we has a house sitter in (my sister) whilst we were away on holidays. We…
Day 43 pre-op – Christmas Day! Dinner last night: Cheese + Charcuterie plates. We had the same again for lunch today it was soooo damn delicious! Since the kids left home and we no longer have any family close by, our Christmas Day has been a very quiet affair that is centred around rest, relaxation, and…
Day 44 pre-op. Dinner last night: Jacket potatoes made into garlic smash, with turkey mince chilli and kidney beans. Christmas Eve and it’s a Saturday so most of the shops in our small rural town close by midday. Thankfully neither of us have any gift buying to do, so that’s of not so much issue.…
Today it’s 47 days until my bariatric surgery happens. I spent most of yesterday arranging all the various appointments I need to get booked and attended to before surgery day actually rolls around – and whilst its just under 7 weeks away – right this minute it feels like its going to happen in the…
Yesterday was my appointment with my bariatric surgeon Dr E. We left home at around lunchtime as it’s an hour and a half drive to his offices. We arrived a little early in the city, so went for a drive to Bunnings first to get some plants as gifts for my Wife’s work colleagues. We…
