Feel well today just 2 days post op. A bit sore on my tummy but painkillers sort that out although they make me a bit woosy!

Let's talk diet... Liquid diet is dull but effective. Pre op, I had 850 cals per day using slimfast and fruit. I lost 9lb before the op this way but it was the most difficult diet I have ever followed. I was painfully hungry and had i not paid huge amounts of money for my impending op, no doubt, I would have failed by day 2!

Now I have lost a total of 11lb in 10 days so pleased with that! The liquid diet I have to follow for three weeks is ok. I am not that hungry so far and managing fine on slimfast, home made yoghurt, milk and fruit smoothies and posh jelly which I found by accident! Watermelon and apple flavour and passion fruit and mango flavour. And only 10 cals each!! I am trying to eat a min of 1000cals per day and max of 1200 so I know my weight loss will slow down. I expect about 4-5 pounds this week but will watch this space!

I have also bought some baxters low cal chicken and veg soups to whizz up so I can get something hot inside me (no euphamism intended there!)
