On July 11th, 2011, I will undergo radical surgery to change my life. I am having a sleeve gastrectomy performed. During this laparoscopic surgery, around 75% of my stomach will be removed, creating a “sleeve” or banana shape organ in place of my current stomach. Effectively, this will limit the amount of food that I will be able to eat to an entrée size meal. Permanently. This blog is my journey as I literally shrink.

The problem with PMS
I don't know about everyone else but PMS for me used to mean pigging out on all my favourite foods. Cravings and portions beyond my wildest dreams. Now with my quarter of a stomach, all I can do is dream. Dream about sitting down in front of a massive bowl of bacon and tomato spaghetti. Dream about the deliciousness of a king size Crunchie (or 2). Or dream about the 750ml Ice break chilled to just on freezing and then skulling until you get the inevitable cold headache... Now, while I can have those things, the portions are so small it defeats the purpose of a good quality PMS pig out!! *Sighs* Looks like I'll have to replace those cravings with mood swings and excess hormones... Poor husband.
