Welcome to the Boof Blog.
It's been eight days after the operation. It is October 26th today.
I just came back from having a walk.
As you can see from this image, I have actually managed to change a little bit in
the appearance. I didn't actually notice it until I
started recording this video when I actually have an older video in the
background being rendered.
The first week after the operation I lost 11.1 kilos.
That's my weight myself yesterday morning.
And before that I lost about eight or so kilos. In total, for the five first weeks
including the 1,000 calorie diet time, I have lost 19.8 kilos.
I weighted myself this morning as well and I lost another 600 grams overnight
and it seems like the weight is really burning off when you sleep.
That means, I actually passed the 20 kilos since I started the 1,000 calorie diet.
On average now, it seems like I'm losing 0.3, 0.4 kilos per day.
The first days I was up to maybe a kilo per day.
I didn't really eat a lot. I drank a lot.
And I started walking from day -- well, I was actually out walking the same day that
I came home, that is day after the operation, because I needed medicines.
And I thought, okay, mouse steps. So I was like walking like this,
tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, very slowly, more like, this, tick, tick, tick, to the
pharmacy down at the closest town.
And the first pharmacy I came to didn't have everything I needed so I had to go to
another pharmacy.
So I got kind of a lot of exercise but it's kind of you feel that you're annoying
everyone around you when you walk around because, like, if you stop and if you want
to walk across the road and the cars need to stop, they see that you're like a young
guy and, obviously, you should be able to walk fast.
Instead you go over the side walk like, tick, tick, tick, tick, hold your belly,
tick, tick, tick, tick.
So I was just expecting to get honked, like -- but nothing;
nothing happened. Anyway, I got my pills.
I actually have to go back the day after
to get some extra pills. It turns out I didn't actually have everything.
What I didn't have was actually this.
It's called Ursofalk.
It's to prevent gallstones, gallstone is, well, whatever!
Well, it's a, you know, the acid that goes into your stomach and digest your
food and stuff, yeah. That can create stones which can create
problems to your digestive system.
So this one is supposed to go against that and I didn't manage to get that on
the second day when, actually, I realize, oh, I don't have this one in the bag.
So I had to go back and get it.
I'm also using something called Fragmin.
It's tiny needles like this.
It's the -- under here.
It's against...it's to make your blood thinner and that is to prevent you from
getting, like, a clogged arteries and stuff like that.
What else do I have? Yeah, pain killers.
That was kind of a fun chap!.
I've got something that looks a little bit like paracet
but it actually has tiny dosage of morphine in it.
And, as we all know, and as we all know morphine is very addictive
and I'll be needing everything like it. No, I'm just joking.
I've had three pills of that one.
That's all I actually needed when I came home. I have had stomach pains but I haven't
really wanted to..I haven't wanted to use a lot of it because I want to feel how
my pain feels. So I know, if I get a different kind of
pain, oh, I'd know something is wrong.
Luckily for me, within four days, I think it was on Friday or Saturday,
I started having almost no pains at all. I still have a bit of pains in the
stitches and the insertion part, the six ones.
I haven't... I felt the heat on them. There haven't really any problems
or I don't think I have any infection or anything.
So I consider myself really lucky.
I started eating soup and I managed to get after three days, three or four, I managed
to get the protein powder I needed which is like without taste so you can use it in
any kind of food. So I made soup with protein powder
and a bit of sour cream.
And that actually worked quite well. I'm kind of tired of soup now, so I have
moved over to yogurt. Yogurt is fantastic.
I'll probably be a little bit sick of it. People do get sick of it when eat that
much of it.
Since I'm now in week two, we are supposed to eat like mashed potatoes and stuff like that.
I have been a little bit careful on that. Yesterday I bought like a little glass of
kid's food, six month food for six month old kids, babies.
That was a little bit hard to get down. It was a little bit dry and I had to chew it,
I felt, because the..when you're not anything but used to yogurt, it felt like the small
pieces that was like this big felt like this so I chewed everything, so it was
basically fluids when it went down.
But today, for dinner I'm actually gonna have mashed potatoes and see how that goes.
I wasn't planning on using the mashed food probably yet, but it's seems okay.
Oh, and I also tried to start test out some small things.
I have just tasted caramel pudding. I have to get something sweet just to
taste or even spit it out.
And I have tasted the chocolate pudding. I do not react to any of these,
and there's the vanilla sauce and there is what we call the caramel
sauce and the other one.
It's like a high concentration of sugar. I really thought I would react to it.
I didn't.
What I did react to was actually this,
that was giving me stomach pains.
And I have another version. It's kind of a drinking yogurt.
This is banana and passion fruit and some corn or flour.
I didn't react to this one.
And strangely enough, I can drink about this, which is 300 milliliters.
I can drink one of those in about 20 minutes. And that kind of surprises me a little
bit because it's kind of a lot.
Then dessert, I tasted a cup like this. It's also quite big and that goes down in
five to ten minutes.
So I'm actually starting to wonder if they gave me the correct operation because
I can eat quite fast I think. ..and I have never been
nauseous, I don't feel like I'm gonna throw up or anything.
It just glides down.
I have had a few upsets of diarrhea but I have noticed that it's when I drink water
with food.
And I also wonder about this. But I also see that when I do not drink
water with food, I got a little bit constipated. So it's...you have to learn balance, I think.
Anyway, I'm not gonna keep this very long.
I'm just gonna show you the difference in my size and was gonna show you a shirt
which, when I was at the biggest, I couldn't close it.
So I'm gonna show you this. Just hang on second.
I'll up the camera a little.
So this is a shirt that when I was my biggest, it would be like this, like the
space in between here. I couldn't close it.
So I want you to take a good look because this is what I can do now with I've lost
in 20 kilos.
And it looks like a lot, and the other edge is here.
That's 20 kilos.
And it's pretty sick. So that's it.
And I can't really see myself any different in the mirror.
I still have the stitches and stuff here.
So I'm gonna try and move my chair a little bit so you could see that.
You can compare it with the first images of me.
I doubt you will actually see a big difference.
Oh, maybe a little bit of difference. You can see it hang just a little bit
more than I'm used to.
But if you see it from the front, it looks pretty much similar.
So here is my back.
So, yeah, that was basically it for today.
I don't know when I will make a new video;
maybe in a week's time perhaps.
I don't feel I maybe need to make a video every day.
See you when I see you. Bye, bye.
