25th Feb 2010 - 13 days post op
Feb 24, 2010
Well to be truthful, I’m really diappointed - I’ve been counting my pre-op diet in with my weight loss (why the hell not, I worked hard to lose a stone in a week). But if you take that away, my first week post op I only lost 4lbs, and i’m now 1 day off my 2 week mark and I have lost a further 3lbs. What the hell is that about??? I’m averaging about 500 calories a day, and trying really hard to do everything I’m told, so why am I not getting the 1lb a day!!!. So am I really the person for whom this doesn’t work. Well I guess I’ve got to wait and find out. Booo bloody hiss.
Oh my goodness, I can’t stomach the build up soups any more - they’re covered in a layer of grease, have a grainy texture and taste foul. I’m just gonna have to have the normal soups and shakes and really try extra hard to get my calories in, cos the devil soups have now been binned. I’ve also been really struggling to get all my fluids in, when you’re supposed to have 5/6 meals a day and leave an hour between any food/drinks - there isn’t enough hours in the day to fit in 2.5 litres of water. Anyway, spoke to my dietician last night for the first time (bit blooming late, but helpful all the same) and I’m gonna try having drinks throughout the day and ignore the 1 hour rule - lets hope it works, cos I’m finding it hard beeing constantly thirsty.
Well here’s hoping I cheer up a bit by my next post, not to mention lose a whole load of weight.
