Today a month ago I started my weight loss journey. I wanted a gastric balloon inserted as I thought I was not able to go to a very low-calorie diet without extra help. The clinic could not insert it as they saw spotted erosions in my stomach, this ended up being a dangerous bacteria called H.Pylori, I didn't have any pains or symptoms (scary eh?). I'm on a strong course of antibiotics and pump inhibitors. I definitely need to make sure those little buggers leave my body.
I weight myself today, it is 79.9. I'm happy because:
- I'm now in the 70s numbers
- I have lost more than my target goal in my first month (6.5 kilos , goal 6.0)
- I feel the difference when I use the stairs, became less agitated
- I have drop 1 size in clothes.
- Not obese and now in the Overweight range
- I've saved £2k as they could not insert the gastric balloon
It has been a difficult start (first 2 weeks) but it is manageable now, I've noticed my hunger is much less than a month ago.
Next mini-goals:
Go down to 78.0 before I go to holidays
Came back from holidays with no more than 80kgm weight
