yes i agree i have a 200gm yoghurt a day and it goes down well. i am full until lunchtime after having that at breakfast.

hi girls sounds good to me too but because i am in oz that may prove too difficult. i will try and fit in and do the best i can. because i have two little girls i dont get on the computer at home or on weekends so i do all of my posting at work. donna

hi big nana i am very similar to you in that i only eat 3 times a day and find it hard to get the water down. like you i have never been a huge water drinker. i have lost 10kg which is approximately 16lb i think. glad to hear your incisions are healing nicely. my biggest fear is also losing my hair so i am making sure i have protein everytime i eat. i made beef stirfry for my family last night and i took the plunge and gave myself a small serve of beef strips and veges and cut them up into miniscule pieces. the sauce was really yummy and i left the rice off the plate of course but it went down well and it took about 30 minutes to eat because i chewed that meat till it was total mush. it was good to eat with my family again and not a separate meal. i usually eat about 6 cups of boiled rice with my stir fry and eat it all out of a salad bowl followed by about 3 cans of diet coke so this was a far cry from that but i enjoyed it and i was definitely full afterwards. i am still getting used to that really full feeling after such a small portion. i saw my dietition yesterday who advised me to stop eating when i was no longer hungry rather than when i felt full as i would still be able to stretch my stomach if i kept eating until i was full. if i did that i told her i would be eating about 4 teaspoons a day. anyway i will try and do that next meal. she also told me not to drink during my meal and to stop drinking 15mins before i ate and 30mins after. so just some info for you all to take on board. i actually thought the drinking during eating would help me get stuff down easier??? but hey what do i know??? donna xx
