Hi thanks so much, im doing well I think, weight wise anyway, 4 and half stone down since the start of LRD, 3 and a half since op date, although after the last couple of weeks having a few foods disagree with me, these last few days I just have no interest in food at all, im hoping that passes...

@MrsN can i please ask, when you go private did you still have a sleep study? Im guessing you didnt have to have psychology input or did you? My friend is about to take the first step and im attempting to help but obviously journey is slightly different x

Almost 9 weeks post op and been lucky enough to be pretty smooth sailing compared to some, this last weeks been funny though, started with not being able to manage fish after being ok, the last couple of days literally more than one mouthful of food and I feel really really uncomfortable, tried...

Calories and protein sounds very similar @MrsN soft diet seems so much more like 'normality' doesnt it, my family had a chinese takeaway on saturday, I insisted and they felt guilty, but I had some gorgeous soup and it felt so good to not feel like I was 'missing out' I did keep looking at my...

Soft diet today, does it sound daft to say im scared to go back on normal foods? Ive obviously got everything intention of making the most of the opportunity ive been given but Im scared as I move onto more normal diet, old habits may creep back, just venting really x

I wont lie I licked a crisp my daughter was eating next to me :eek: turned out to be a good thing as it tasted like someone gave me a spoonful of salt so I wont wanna do that again ;)

I feel hungry today for the first time, ive had half a protein shake with extra added milk as a bit thick, some soup and about 500mls water, its unnerved me a little o_O
