sounds interesting, but cooking hmm.....

Are you feeling nauseous at all?

I hate the feeling, but can't seem to get rid of it.

HI All,

Been absent for a while from the forum, as work has been hectic combined with making sure I am doing what i need to physically.

6 weeks post op and down about 25kg, still a bit to go.

While i have moved to the soft diet I am still only really comfortable with liquids. Soft solids fill me up so quick and changing old eating habits is not easy.

Kiwi, walking helped me heaps. from day 1 post op, and even now if food has become blocked or i have tried to eat to much walking gets things to settle much quicker.

I also really enjoy lemonade icy poles, they seem to also calm my stomach...

Xena you seem to be doing really well and weight loss is powering along. The liquid diet i have moved to is using different Protein shakes. The dietician has put me on Aussie Bodies Protein revival, which are a pleasant change from Optifast.

Great result Lizz

Keep going and don't get stressed if the weight loss plateaus, it happens, and will then kick back in.

My surgery was done in Sydney Dr Jorgenson. Very supportive.

I also had the help of my wife who kept me in check each day. Pre-op the cravings became very hard, especially at dinner time when things are slower.....

Weight loss ok own 6kg from operation day.

I did loose about 5kg on the Optifast diet over the 3 weeks leading up (was only meant to be on Optifast for two weeks prior, but surgery was delay a week to an unrelated infection.

Any walking you can do now will help, but not always easy.....

Hey Lizzbeth, Good luck with surgery.

I am now 11 days out of surgery. First day was not too bad plenty of pain meds. Drinking Water was difficult, but cordial and peppermint team much easier. The walking around the ward on from day one also really helped get the gas out of the system, I recommend it.

I am tired a lot more at the moment and trying to do my 10,000 steps a day.......

cheers
