Oh no! That sucks. Hope you're feeling better today. I'm sure we'll all eat something we shouldn't at some point!

Absolutely! I'm not the most patient of people-my wife literally tells me every day that I have had major surgery so I need to stop expecting to be back to my usual self in 5 minutes. I've played rugby for 12 years so I'm used to being able to run around and tackle things and I'm just not there yet and can't imagine I will be for a while. I've got the Wii out though and am having a bit of a play on that and hoping to do a few more walks next week. Glad it isn't just me with the light headedness!

Haha that's so true! I made a lasagne for wife and parents the other day. I'm still eating my portion 3 days on (not the cheese or pasta)!

Always good when you find something that suits to eat! I’m still on puréed/soft food (and supposed to stay on this until week 8) but I have to admit, I’m not completely sticking to puréed foods-mainly because I can’t stand them!

Ahh well. My wife finishes work for Christmas on Friday so at least I’ll have something to take my mind off it!

I’ve hit the dreaded stall! 3.5 weeks out from surgery so it was kind of expected but still really annoying. I’d hoped to lose another 10 lbs by Christmas but I can’t see that happening now. Anyone else in the same boat?

I saw the consultant and he said I’m healing fine but mentioned that when he removed my band there was quite a big hole where my port was so he had to add lots more stitches. He thinks that that is the cause of the extra pain. Just good to know I’m not being a wuss! I was beginning to think I was imagining it!

I’m with you! Hoping it will pass soon. I’m a couple of days after you though so you’ll have to tell me when it starts getting better!
