Its been 2 and a half weeks since the op and I'm still on the thin liquid diet, and getting pretty sick of it. My surgeon tells me it will be a few months before I'm on proper food again, I had kind of thought it would be a few weeks. I'm doing OK considering. Certainly the pre-op me would have not been able to stay on a liquid diet for very long, I would have been ravenous by this stage and all food withing a 3 km radius would have been in extreme danger of being consumed.
The feelings thing is quite intense too. Can't bury myself in a bag of chips when things go wrong, no stuffing down feelings with a huge plate of pasta. We've had a tragic loss in the family last week and my feelings have been right there - up front and personal. The movie "Happy Feet" had me weeping for most of the first half.
In terms of weight loss, since I started the pre op diet to today - which is a month ago - I have lost 11 kilos. Translated to American, this is 24.25lbs. Or for UK readers this is 1.732 Stone, or to be more precise 1 Stone 10 1/4 lbs. Anyone conversant with old Russian will recognize this as 2,579 Zolotniks and for the student of ancient French - .2247 of a Quintal. In any event its a sh**load of weight to lose in 1 month!
Well heres to it! (Raises glass of choc protein drink - nicknamed sawdust delight)... Cheers!

LOL- I love the conversion chart! I have lost 30 lb in the last month too! I am still on the liquids but at least they are "full" liquids and soon I can have mushy food. I never thought I would be looking forward to a boiled egg so much. I deal with feelings by going to sleep- it helps to ignore problems.Also surfing online aimlessly for hours helps ....oh and don't forget any painkillers you can worm out of a sympathetic Dr. (jk)
