Started my preop today a few days early.

Stupid me though decided to also concrete a 5mx2.5mx0.15m area. Dad helped too, but Barrowing 1M of concrete myself and then helping to level it. Then edging it while dad troweled it on not much food wasn't the smartest thing I have done!!:tt2: Looks great though!

Didn't think the headaches would start this early and I am really tired (but this could be contributed to by the concreting). I have been cranky too..luckily not too many arguments whilst concreting, well not due to my crabbiness anyway

I think I'll be sleeping really well in the coming weeks so I can get over the hunger!!:frown:

18 days until surgery!

The Positive of starting this diet is it brings the surgery closer and makes me feel excited that this is really going to happen!:ohmy:

don't be so hard on yourself :frown:.....I am going to guess the headaches are from stress/tension. Possibly also to the concreting (only you would know that) but, try taking hot baths and relaxing..there are ups and downs and its hard for us mentally and physically to stick with the rollercoaster ..I hope it all goes well for you..

Hey Ellinida Thanks for the encouragement!!

I'm not stressed I think it was more likely I wasn't drinking enough water, doing such a physcal thing for hours and being only day one, the headache was a given anyway and the crabbiness :biggrin2:

Have been feeling better, yesterday was easy, today a little harder going back to work (I have been hungrier today) but I am able to push through the hunger and wait for the next meal which is great! And hey I have lost 2.4kg in 2 days!! :frown:

I would LOVE to take a hot bath but being on permanent water restrictions here in Aussie land I have given them up in favour of quick hot showers

I am sooooooo glad to know you are feeling better. Of course, those were just guesses..you knowyour body better than me lol...I'm hungry too and havn't been banded LOL..anyway, just keep positive..

(my dream is to retire in Australia (not anytime soon)...I wanted to move there but i dont see it in the cards.

Take care
