Life in England
It is coming up to 3 months since I had my weightloss surgery and it is nearly 3 weeks that I have been back in England. My progress is not astounding by any means, I am weighing 156.6 kgs on the home scales which may be a bit less on the hospital scales but I have to use the readings of one set of scales and go by that. So I have lost 17 kgs which brings me within the expected 6-7 kgs a month loss that I had been promised by the girl who recommended me to my surgeon.
Talking about my surgeon, I have stitches for his fur, as we say in Greece! He has completely let me down. He had promised me a written report for my GP in England but he never did it. He said he'd post it to me but of course that was a lie, too. I think he is afraid to write anything that might be used as proof that he performed the surgery and did not issue a tax (or any!) receipt for the cost.
I have also found out another company that is facilitating people living in Britain to have surgery in Belgium and the cost is slightly less or equal to what it cost me to do it in Greece, and I bet they give a receipt!
Anyway, forget about the surgeon, he is just a stepping stone over my river of troubles to the safe shore opposite. How is my eating going? Well, I seem to be eating larger quantities and I do a PB/vomit at least twice a week. But every day I treat it as a new day and try harder to make my brain and mouth communicate with each other. The way they behave (aided by the intervening hand) you'd think they've been married for 40 years and living separate lives! LOL
I get a lot of support from a Greek forum I have joined and that is why I don't blog as often any more. The world is so small via the internet...
Must dash now to get ready for my daughter's swimming lesson. She loves going to the pool, it is nice and warm and has steps to access the baby pool which makes it ideal for a toddler. Later on today I must get on with unpacking and putting together the IKEA beds I bought on Saturday - ahhh big job!
Till later
