Thanks Clare, today is operation water!!! I'm going to be 1/2 fish by the end of this hehe. So I've been going to bed pretty early since being on this diet, my energy levels are pretty poor. I've been lying in bed, in that in between awake and asleep phase just day dreaming suppose you'd call in about what I will look like when I'm slimmer. I look at those before and after pictures and think to myself that they coud be a different person. Will I look like a differnt person? Have you tried to picture yourself as a size you've never been? (well not in good memory)…it's really weird, but kind of exciting too. I have been thinking about what style of clothes i'll like to wear, what will suit me and what I might do with my hair haha, call me vain but it's a major motivation for me.
Something else you should know about me, if we are going to journey together…another of the major motivations for having the sleeve is my wanting to have a baby, hopefully next year or the year after. I have miscarried being at this weight, and can't bear to think that it might be because of being fat meaning I can't keep hold of a baby. My surgeon has told me I should be able to start trying after 1yr post surgery!! Very exciting!!! X

Urghhhhh the whole 'backing up' situation is not improving. I have had 3 lots of Senna now and nothing has happened. I feel really groce, like everything I eat and drink is just sat there with nowhere to go. It's uncomfortable and making me feel very sluggish and therefore I am ringing first thing in the morning to a friend of a friend who does Colonic Hydrotherapy and booking myself in asap. I was reading up about it and they reckon you can have between 1-10kg of old poo knocking around in your colon at any one time…ewwww! Anybody else had it done? Things like this don't get me nervous, just want my system to get bloody moving haha! X

Thanks for the advice Neisie but I've gone ahead and booked it, my colleague is a nurse and she absolutely raves about them , it's a week today, the day before the op…what a fun filled week I shall be having haha.
Having a bit of a stressy time at work at the moment, there are hints of redundancies etc which have got me quaking in my boots with my upcoming sick leave. Oh well, can't worry about that now, but it aint helping that's for sure.
In other news….I 'went' this morning. It was by no means normal but it was something and I'm dead pleased haha. Have lose 7 pounds in 1 week and 10 pounds overall since Jan 1st. I will never again see the number 22 in terms of stones weighed. Whoop x

Hey to whomever is reading
I remember feeling really hungry on my pre-op diet and I wasn't on the milk diet, I was on low cal, low carb, low fat ect, so all I ate over Christmas was salad and muller yoghuts!!! But since my op (19 days post sleeve) I haven't once felt hungry!!!!! It feels really odd to try and explain to people - but I usually feel like I have just had a nice dinner - feeling full but not uncomfortable
. Although I do miss 'chewing' what I would do to chew a lovely piece of meat!!!!!Your op day will be here before you know it, and it will all be worth it at the end of the day!!! Well done you, keep strong!!!! Xxxx

Thanks Salliebeth!! Yeah I know it's a very short amount of time but when you're in it, it feels like forever! Haha. I must stop moaning!
On a happier note, I haven't seen much of my mum since doing the milk diet and I saw her today and she said she could notice I'd lost some weight. Down 12lbs as of this morning x

Thanks hun!! Today has been amazing…me and the other half decided that this weekend I should eat. rather than do the milk diet (I'm allowed to switch between the plans as long as it's not midway through the day) so that's what we did!! I've had salmon, broccoli and cabbage for lunch and fillet steak and oven roasted veg for tea! GLORIOUS. It's actually given me such a boost as time is really dragging before the op now and I'm just waiting!
The reason why it's such a good thing is that I've really concentrated on GOOD food today, I've had beautiful salmon from the fish counter and fillet steak, cooked beautifully rare and such a small portion too! But it was incredible and I am happily full and satisfied, with no carbs and no scoffing. It's sort of like a vision for the future, protein heavy, low carb, good quality food over huge quantity. Ramble over, apologies.
In other news, just updated my ticker and realised that having lost 1stone exactly, it's taen me under 300lbs. Yey, first landmark of weight loss! X

Sounds great!!! Well done on the weight loss so far!!! The filet steak you described has had my mouth watering - I love steak and haven't had it for ages, and I'm still on liquid diet post op!!! I would kill to chew a lovely piece of meat!!!! Xxxx
