Hi everyone my name is Matthew and i have just joined your site. Hmm what to say now, ok i am currently waiting to go under the knife at thornbury Hospital in sheffield where they will be giving me a gastric bypass, i am currently on 3 pints of semi skinned milk and 2x 200gram yogurt pots per day with fluid intake of water and diet drinks which do not have any sugar in them, this i have to be honest is driving me mad as i have another week to go b4 they operate on me, thou i have been having the odd hot water and oxo cube to keep me going.

When i was weighed at the hospital i hit the 27 stone mark and yes all that weight is my own fault, thou i have been having numerous issues with walking owing to slipping in boots chemist and a few other accidents over the years, did i mention my middle name is "lucky".

Anyway i thought i would drop in and say hello and have a read of your posts which to be honest will prob keep me quiet now for many hours.

best regards Matthew

ohh any questions you want to ask me please feel free to do so.

Heres is a quickie for every1 am i cheating on this diet if i add an oxo cube to water to drink instead of the normal coffee and milk?


Nuts lol just found out the oxo cube is not allowed, ohh well back to the drawing board.

Hi Matt, Welcome to the site. You've done so well losing so much weight already. I'm looking forward to reading your journey. I'll have to catch up when I get back as I'm off on my hols on Sat and not sure if I'll get wifi access.

I don't know if you're cheating adding an oxo cube. The only thing I would say is that it contains salt and salt is known to cause water retention. I don't know if this could affect the liver though?

All the best Rebirth
