Joy's weight loss journey Weight loss journey

29/07/2025

Hello my people, still on my journey of weight loss and dealing with DVT PE.

Yesterday I went for my regular check up and I was so disappointed that my INR was 1.80 which is not right as it means my blood can clot. My INR should be above 2 and not below that and also it must not be above 3 as this means I can bleed to death.

Today I took the plug to weigh myself and I weigh a wooping 143kg 🫣. Now from the 1st of August we intensify the weight loss and change of diet.

I have to closely monitor my food and make sure that all the foods that I'm not allowed to eat I avoid them 100%. What I have realized is that at home it's easy to monitor the food, it's only via take aways that I fail to check as I don't know what they added or dont even ask.

To be on the safe side I have decided to avoid take aways or even food offered by friends or relatives when visiting to avoid triggering the INR.

So my peeps here we go, eating clean and making sure we survive DVT PE.

GOING BACK FOR ANOTHER TEST ONNTUE 18th of August I pray to have it back to normal by then.

Thanks for taking time to read about my journey, weight shedding starts now....

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Since I was diagnosed with DVT PE there's certain foods that I can't eat and some drinks that I can't have.

Here is a list of what you can't have when you are taking WARFARIN to thin your blood:

VEGETABLES
Cabbage (allowed only 1 tablespoon per week)
Spinach (allowed only 1 tablespoon per week)
Broccoli
Green pepper
IN FACT ANY VEGETABLE WITH VITAMIN K

FRUITS
Any member of the berry family
Any member of the citrus family

ALCOHOL
That's a no go area at all

JUICE
Any type of juice as long as it doesn't contain citrus or berries. Including FANTA ORANGE AND OROS 😭😭

CONDIMENTS
No barbecue or herb spice
No Mayonnaise
No Tomato sauce
No salad dressing

No laxative, no ginger like it's a serious lifestyle change.

I'm going to start using XARELTO pills, my Dr says they are better than WARFARIN.

Maybe then I can go back to eating some foods

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES AS WE BATTLE DVT PE AND WEIGHT LOSS..

I have started taking walks....I do only 500M as I still have pain on my groin. Hopefully by next week I can do more

Before I forget OZEMPIC doesn't temper with WARFARIN so I will also be starting with it soon....

Hope this was informative

Hello people, haven't posted on this page for a long time. After my battle with blood clots and being diagnosed with DVT PE, AI have decided to include you all in my journey of living with this condition as I am now on blood thinners for the rest of my life.

One of the doctors has suggested I use OZEMPIC to deal with my weight loss. So join me as I begin my new lifestyle of dealing with DVT PE and being on OZEMPIC.

I will be documenting everything I went through before and after diagnosis, what I can and cannot do post diagnosis. What I am allowed to eat and not eat. Alcohol 😭😭😭

Stay tuned as I share with you, this might help someone suffering from the same and didn't know, or has been diagnosed and doesn't know the pro's and cons.

THE BEGGING OF A NEW ME....

The journey is starting again, we fall off the wagon so many times but what is important is that we don't give up.

We are given so many chances and we redo what we undid...

It's hard but we know it's doable

🥂 Here's to second chances.

Day by day, we are in no hurry to loose as it didn't take us a day to gain. One thing I have realised is that when you shed off the fat slowly it stays off for a while... Sisaqhuba, I am still grateful for all the support I am getting.

When I started this journey in May I was weighing 156kg, I went down to 139 which meant I lost 17kg before I had things going on that made it difficult for me to concentrate on my journey. That's all in the past now, we are back on and this is where we are now, 141,30kg we soldier on. Thanks to each and every one of you that keeps encouraging me.

It's been a long challenging journey, sickness and grieving my late dad also didn't make it easy for me. You know some people when they are stressed they don't eat and they loose weight, I'm the opposite 🤣🤣🤣🤣. The battle has not been lost. We pick up where we left off as this is not a competition but a life style. I am back on the wagon as of tomorrow the 27th of September. I will post my starting weight tomorrow and keep updating you regularly. I hope I will inspire a few people. Hard as it is, we soldier on. Here's to a healthy lifestyle 🍾🥂

On a serious note I am back on the wagon as of Monday, due to illness and medication gained a few kilos but we soldier on cause we know the purpose and also that everything we do comes with it's own challenge. Thank you to each and every one of you that is routing for me and sending me words of encouragement. I will post my current weight on Monday and we take it from there.
