I wish! She's been dancing around the room to Sia's chandelier for the past half an hour on repeat so at least I got out of playing for a bit!

I'm uber-excited, I've just bought some Irn Bru lip-balm

Haha- amazing- now let's see if it lasts long enough to actually moisturise your lips sounds delish!

Well, from "Two weeks to go" to "Three Months Post-Op today". The difference three months make.

Three months exactly since I was sitting in a clinic in Prague thinking "well I've done it now so might as well go along for the ride' . Whilst I don't have any regrets, it's completely different to expectations and it's certainly not the 'magic wand' I secretly thought it would be. I'm 37lbs down, which personally I think is disappointing. Maybe due to lack of exercise. Still haven't lost enough for my breathing to improve sufficiently to enable me to do more but I am making a big effort in walking.

I am enjoying my new diet and not really missing the junk I used to cram down my neck. I've discovered I love strawberries and can get sugar hit from them. I'm cooking a lot more fresh meats, steaks, lamb chops etc which is nice. I weigh everything frantically and research nutrition values, if it's not giving me anything positive, it's not going near my mouth. I went for lunch the other week and treated myself to spaghetti carbonara. The restaurant were great and weighed out 150g for me, although when it came, it was a disappointing sight compared to my friend's huge mound of lovely Pasta but sure enough, it filled me perfectly adequately.

I hope there will be a bigger loss next month, fingers crossed.

PS, I've search most of Greater Manchester & Cheshire for these Irn Bru ice lollies but they continue to evade me. I might have to have some shipped in.

Hi Rosie,

How are you doing now? Did you manage to hit target?

I am seriously considering Prague to have surgery, would you recommend it and did you have any issues when you were there?

Thanks
