G,day again
Things are settling down nicely. Pain is under control now. And swelling is going down too !! Eating is a bit wierd. I was told to to stick with a liquid diet for two weeks after the opperation. I did the meal replacement thing for 3 - 4 weeks prior to surgery. So on Saturday i just couldnt stand the thought of another bloody diet shake. YUK
So i had a bit of potato and spinich soup (thin) and it felt sooooo good ! I took it slow and didint eat much. But i have been eating solids like yoghurt and low fat vegetable soup since. I think i just needed some variety. I havent felt hungry since. I have my first meeting with my doctor in about 2 weeks. I think he i going to inject some saline depending on how im going. I have lost a few pounds too. I am now about 285 i think. Its a bit different talking pounds to me. We use metric here in Australia. So going from 317 to 285 in about 5 weeks looks good
. I do feel better too. I am getting back into those old clothes again. I feel better about myself too. I sooo sick of being treated like a lepper for being overweight. Last night on the TV news Airlines in Australia annouced they want to charge overweight people more per seat because we use more fuel.
Anyway folks i will keep checking in time to time. Updating my weight scale etc. And checking other peoples threads etc. This sort of forum is a great idea. Any questions etc are wecome.
Cheers
Kirk
