First meeting, first day of my weight loss journey

 So today is the official start date of my weight loss journey and as such I have stopped having any normal food and started taking the total dietary replacement shakes and soups.

Short meeting with the dietitian where I've tested my blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and I've jumped onto the scales for the official, start up weight, which is a whooping 111.8 kg.

Got some advice what to do next and then I was on my way home, where I've spent my time trying to ignore the heat and the craves. Not very pleasant I can tell you that. Trick: drink a lot of water, helps on both.

The whole thing started with:

- weight: 111.8 kg

- blood pressure: 148/88  (last week dailies: 130/92 141/82 129/93 126/97 145/92 153/889 136/103)

- blood sugar: 8.7 (last week dailies: 12.1 11.1 9.6 10.3 8.8 10.2 10.0)

They also did scans of the chest just in case and a few days later I found out that there are complications with my lungs. After months of investigations and a bunch of tests it's been decided that my lungs are OK but unfortunately there was a problem with my pancreas which looked like cancer so they've decided to do more tests. Biopsy was done on the pancreas and the doctors were still unsure what was causing the issue  so they decided to put me on steroids for a couple of months as a diagnostic to see if it's got any effect in which case it might not be cancer but autoimmune pancreatitis. A few months after I did another CT scan and the doctors said they have seen improvement and therefore...
