Yeah, really good. I've not had any problems, eating well. Incisions are fine, in fact no problems at all.

I haven't been sick once and not had a problem eating anything, chicken, eggs, beef mince, pork mince, veg etc.

Really pleased with everything.

I have hit a stall but I'm not bothered about it as its pretty normal.

So all in all, amazed at how easy it has been.

Multivits everyday too and going every day

That's great to hear, I hope you continue to do so well. I have been sick 3 times and 3 times it was after eating pork, it just does not agree with me. So far I haven't had a stall so lucky that way I guess lol

[CBF1000 13]

Just an update, eating normal food now, no problems at all and swallowing my Vitamin tabs fine.

I'm not feeling much of a restriction but wonder if its because I'm not eating too much for it to feel restrictive, what do you reckon.

I've been the same weight for 10 days and sometimes think I am eating too much but when I actually look at it, I'm not and no rubbish foods (not that I did much before).

I've spoken my dieticein and she says its perfectly normal, but I do wonder when its going to shift again. I guess I'm just one of the unlucky ones who's going to lose slowly.

I never felt restricted with food until I started on normal foods then I found I got full really quickly. I still struggle to eat a slice of toast with a poached egg for Breakfast.

I haven't had a stall thankfully but I am not the quickest loser either, I lose an average of a kilo to kilo and a half a week. So its slow but steady.

[CBF1000 13]

Unfortunately I don't feel that restriction but I don't continue eating. I had that for breakfast too. I seem to feel very full about 5 mins after I eat and it can repeat for 30 mins.

I don't really want to get into the calorie counting or weighing of stuff. Do you think that because I'm back on normal foods, I'm not getting enough Protein in?

I'm worried about this stall but am off to France soon for a month and plan to get loads of walking in, so hopefully things will move a bit faster.

Glad you're doing well.

I refuse to calorie count or weigh out food either, its too much trouble and I simple can't live with that especially when there are days when my husband is having to do everything because my health is bad.

I get my Protein in first, then a bit of veg and try to stay away from carbs except at breakfast where I have a slice of toast with an egg.

Is that working for you willow? Sounds sensible.

[willow13 59]

It definitely seems to be working, I am loosing weight in 7 weeks I lost 18kg so not the fastest loser but its steady which giving my limited mobility is good going.

[luckyknickers57 62]

Hey Willow, that's not bad at all is it? And without killing yourself! That's nearly three stone, and as you say, with limited mobility. Well done to you

[willow13 59]

Thanks Lucky.

[willow13 59]

How are you doing now CBF?

[CBF1000 13]

Fine, had my check up with the Doc, tha'ts it, all healed up now.

Back on all foods, no problem with anything so far.

Still stuck in a stall but it actually looks like it might finally be moving down.

Hows you doing?

[willow13 59]

I am doing great, I was at the dietician today and I have lost 90lb since beginning this journey so I am over the moon as is she as giving my limited mobility its been great. I can eat almost everything which is great and I am feeling so much more lively.
Glad to hear your stall is over and that your doing so well.
