Good Luck,

Good Morning Gina
Like you I can not take the protein drinks and feel very sore and painful were the port is. I am also on the liquid diet for 3 weeks then soft food but all I can manage is about 300 mls a day of tom soup. My tounge is yellow and I am so pale all the time but apart from that like you I am never hungry.
I dont think I really thought the pain would be like this area in the wound area did you? I will know on wednesday when I go back to get my wounds checked and get weighed what I have lost but I know I have lost some as I could do my coat up yesterdya for the first time in 6 months.
I keep day dreaming do you about the future and how happy I am goin to be at christmas time wearing a little dress and making the most of having a family time without stuffin my face like I do and have every other year. This is that start of a happy furture for us all.
When I first went for my consultation I was in shock when they told me I was 17st 10lbs as my GP had told me the week before I was 18st so looks like some weight had come off on its own? I then started the shakes for the 3 days before my op as I went in on a cancelation and by friday have laost 4lbs on the shakes so I am looking for a start weight now of 17st 6 and on wednesday hope it wll be below 17at if I am lucky.
I would like to loose about 8st in total and then I will be bakc to what I was 6 years ago but this time we all know with the help of the band it will stay off.
Do you have amy targets at the moment?
take care Dianne
