  1. 6 Weeks out and starting on a soft diet! Yee ha!

    Hi

    I don't know if I can honestly say that the last six weeks have flown by or not. All I can say is that I personally think that the diet has been the hardest part of this whole process for me. Having said that, though, I can say that my diet and cravings are very different to what they were eight weeks ago (including pre-op diet). I no longer crave chocolate and lots of it.

    Gee that week went quickly...was it really a week?

    Day 7 post surgery and feeling okay. Surgery went well...very pleased with my choice of surgeon, such a lovely man. Really pleased with the anaethetist too. A bit of pain pain op initially but haven't taken even so much as panadol for about three days.

    Probably the main thing for me is that I'm feeling tired, drained of energy. I understand that because I'm not taking a huge amount of sustenance in and my body ...
