Day 5
Today was a good day. I still haven't eaten very much - just haven't really felt like eating. Had half a glass of smoothie for breakfast and half for lunch. Tried to have some soup for supper but put too much pepper in it and just wasn't nice. Have taken my vitamins and calcium tablets too - Dad says that is the most important thing to do at the moment if I don't feel like eating. Wanted a gerkin this evening but wasn't allowed it! Haven't had to take any painkillers apart from this morning, which was a bit of a mistake as this evening it got on top of me a bit and I got a bit emotional. Mum highlighted my hair this evening and I finished my cross stitch - stuff to keep me distracted during the day. Went for two 1500m walks with Dad during the day. All ok.

Day 4
Had a really good day today, haven't had anywhere near as much pain as before, its more like a dull ache now than pain!!
Today was the first day where I really wanted something to eat, whether that was to do with the fact that I haven't eaten in 3 days or because I was hungry, I'm unsure??? And considering the fact that all I had had today was the a bowl of leek and potato soup and half a glass of smoothie I am really not that worried!!
I would like to say thank you to all my friends and family who have been so supportive of me during this time, it is really great to know that you are all so proud of me!!! I know that this is the right thing for me, I'm so excited that this is happening for me! This is going to change my life. It all feels very sureal at the moment, I really cannot imagine me being skinny. All of my adult life I have been big, having a flat stomach, not having my legs rub together and being able to cross my legs are just a few things that I really cannot comprehend!!!!!! Too exciting for words!!

Day 3
Sorry that I haven't posted in a few days, I'm going to go though the last few days.
Day 1
This was an eventful day, to put it most simply I overate. I went by the book and ate breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, supper, all milk coffee, milk. I didn't even make it half way though my supper, I genuinely thought that I was going to die. I was struggling to breath without being in pain and just didn't know what to do with myself. Now I will say that I can be a bit of a woss, but truly it was very painful. What it was,was trapped wind. Mum described it like when you have a baby and they are screaming and nothing will console them and then they burp and its all smiles, that what I was like! And on the subject of wind, its been rather amusing for me, not so much for the rest of the family! I have struggled with wind for the past few days, 'dancing' around the living room trying to release it, and belching and farting at regular intervals.
With regards to exercise, I went for 3 500 metre walks, one at 9am ish, one at 12pm ish and one at 4pm ish. Getting outside and up and about was great, not just because for preventing the risk of deep vein thrombosis but also so that my body wasn't getting too stiff and making it harder to move and more painful.
Day 2
I didn't eat anything, I just didn't want anything. I had my vitamins and calcium tablets and continually sipped on water and then about 6 o'clock I had half a glass of tomato juice and I didn't want anything else. I also had been on 2 1500metre walks one at 9 ish and one at 4 ish and then I did the 500 metre walk at 12 ish.
Day 3
Today I have done the same walks as yesterday and every 20 mins or so got up and walked around a bit! I'm not taking as much pain relief as I was but there is still pain. I have started to, almost, hold where my port is when I've been on my walks because I believe that my fat is tugging on the area, creating major discomfort and pain, but securing the place with my hand, I can walk, almost at normal speed without any discomfort. The pain in my shoulder is still there, this is the deferred pain from my tummy and is very normal and hopefully should die down in the next few days (Remember I am a woss though about pain.) I have eaten today a small bowl of leek and potato soup and half a glass of tomato juice. Today has been easier, but the pain and the wind is obviously an issue, and as they are connected then its unsurprising.
It has been funny not feeling hungry. I smelt my Dad's pizza and loved smelling it but had no desire to eat it! I have never felt that before. It is like having no appetite when you are ill - but not feeling ill! Enjoying the smell of food but I don't feel the need to goggle it all down! I wonder if this will continue.
Anyway - all really good - see what tomorrow brings.
Lots of Love

Day 0
Had my op today, i really cant lie im in a lot of pain but i think that this is more because i had a hernia and the surgen had to fix it. thankfully i didnt have to stay over night so ill be at home and with my family tonight which i think is going to be better than being lonely in the hospital.
To day is the start of the rest of my life and mum said when i can back into my room that i said that i was going to be skinny. lol.
When i was coming home the song in the car was "its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me"
I will put up some photos of my wounds in a few days.

Day -2
I would like to start this post by saying that the people of Japan are in my thoughts and prayes!!!
Two more days until my op, still going strong with my milk and yoghurt diet and still not really finding it that hard, not sure whether that is because I know that it is a means to an ends of if my stomach has really shrunk that much. I am though feeling very tired and the 500kcal is really taking its tool. I have though been going out walking for 30-40 mins twice a day most days and I have to admit that this has been good and its been nice to get out and keep my mind off food!
I'm very excited about my forth coming op, but I am obviously nervous about the general anaesthetic as I have never had one before. I know what is going to happen I've seen hundreds of them before (I am training to be a nurse) but I'm not sure if that is good or not!
