Well - Surgery was uneventful.  My stomach feels small but doesn't hurt. I'm on fluids for another week and taking in about 500 calories a day.  The fluids are boring but I tried cheating and the surgeon told me to be patient so I am.  I have lost about 3kg (7lbs) this week (which doesn't seem much really - but in fact is probably pretty good).

Well I had my endoscopy today (a camera pushed down into my stomach through my mouth - yiik) But the good news was that despite what it said on the hospital website I was asleep for the whole thing. Woke up feeling really good - apparently there is a slight "euphoric" in the stuff they give you to gargle.

My surgeon then told me everything was pretty normal - so we are definitely set for surgery on 2 August 2007. Bring it on!
