New scale arrive today- yayy! lol
Today's weight was 134.4 kg so that's a 5.6 kg loss since surgery 12 days ago, and a total of 16 kg since starting LSD 22/05.
My incisions are healing quite well too, though if i try to move around too much I feel some discomfort - as should be expected.
I am realllyyyy struggling with the liquid stage, thank God I only have 1 more day to go!! Heartlands advice pack states 2 weeks on liquid, 1 week puree and 1 week of soft foods before re-introducing normal foods. I've already bought some lean turkey mince and lamb mince (both 5% fat), salmon, sweet potatoes etc and can't wait to start having purees. I'm at the stage now where even the thought of another exante shake or soup makes me gag.
I tried making some drinkable (i.e. very thin) cornmeal porridge a few days ago, to add a bit of variety, and o..m...g... within 10 minutes I'd managed to have about a third of the mug when I simply went really weak and breaking out in a cold sweat. It was crazy! Hubby helped me back to bed and I slept for a good 3 hours lol. I think I may have been a bit silly by adding a bit of honey (I hate the aftertaste of artificial sweeteners) and as we were out of peanuts, I'd added a lil peanut butter for the extra protein as I'm still nowhere near my required protein intake. I won't be attempting that again any time soon!
All in all, feeling very positive and willing myself to heal quickly so I can start aquarobics etc. Soooo looking forward to a more active lifestyle and people have already started commenting on my glowing and slightly changed appearance
