Wow was I tired and sore today. Its amazing how much conditioning you lose when you are largely inactive for 5 weeks. Was abit disappointing too as the infinitely more accurate scales at work show that I have lost 18 kgs so far. But I got alot of supporting comments as well which is nice. What is a slider that you talk about.

Slider food is junk food it's called slider as it digest quicker and you can eat more of it

Yeah ive coughed up some of the foam a few times now. Ive become extra careful when Im eating out. Its going to take a few days to get used to working again but it feels good also.

Def it has its ups and downs. The main thing is to keep an eye on sugars and carbohydrates. I had one slice of pork with a small piece of potato and pumpkin for dinner. Plus I had one piece of toast for Breakfast so being at work is drumming up my appetite. My gp said to watch against cheating and by this I mean eating every two hours.

Yes I've heard of people putting the weight back on I asked wow did there stomach stretch somehow and no it was eating all day long it all adds up tonight for tea I had some lamb backstrap very tender and some mashed potatoe I'm staying away from Carbs mostly as they are an addiction for me but I needed something other than meat I'm now trying to drink my 1.5 litre of Water yuck I've ordered some of the Isopure Rtd drinks they gave 40 grams of Protein per drink and they are suger free but cordial based so maybe that will help me get my Protein in.

Do you find you are hungry at all. I think my relationship with food is going to change for ever and that probably needed to happen but its still challenging. I go from feeling like I cant eat enough to not feeling like eating. And I will never ve able as they say to eat to my hearts content again. Also Im impatient to get the weight off as well. Haaa its hard to please some people lol.

I agree I see the food and want to eat it like when I dish up my dinner I want to have more on my plate I hate being only able to eat a tiny bit I don't feel hungry but empty sometimes and when I don't eat I get really low in energy and can't function I'm over feeling sore or Sick after eating I look at the scales and get annoyed I think for the suffering I've done I should be close to goal haha and I'm so over hearing people say oh I know such and such who had that done and they have put all the weight back on plus some I'm like well that's fabulous cool story.

I think the weight takes too long to come off but doesnt go back on as fast as people like to say also. I think I just have to be patient and see where i am at xmas. It is going to take a bit of time to get used to this new life. Why couldn't they have taken the weight away whilst they were operating on us lol.

I think starting to exercise will be crucial.

Yes good things take time exactly I'd have like some complimentary liposuction whilst in theatre

I know the key is exercise but I do hate it so much Arrrr I use every excuse known to man kind to avoid it but I know I have to embrace it

I don't think so I can eat alot of Soup and yogurt it's because it's a type of thick Fluid I think it goes rite through

So how's everyone doing. Finished my first week at work and they didnt spare me in any way, which was good as I got to see how I am going. I am moving easier and have lost quite abit off my butt and legs and some off of my stomach. Slowly getting my head around its better to eat a little less than a little more. Think my weight loss has slowed right up, not in a stall but to a more realistic and stable ongoing basis. Hope everyone else is equally well.
