Hi Sue
thanks for that, i am going to keep at it, this is my last hope, i just wanted to make sure i was normal, i am feeling a bit better.

I too had a jacket potato the other night with the family, i had a really small potato with cottage cheese and managed half, so i know something is working, its just keeping my spirits up through a stall, its hard emotionally

Yes i did them no problem chewed and chewed for england to make them mush, i have been having mash since monday so didnt think these would be a problem as long as i sorted them before they went down, you have worried me now, maybe i havent had a bypass!!!!

LOL u have had a bypass, think we all think that.
I still cant eat potatoes or bread its just one of them things. DONT PANIC XX

Deeby, step back and chillax girl!

Firstly at two weeks post op i could and did have a whole tin of soup (strained) and i'm fine .

Now for the weight loss, my first week i dropped 11lb (and lost 5lb on one week of pre op), following week i think i dropped another 5 or 3, anyway i had a week of a 1lb loss and then two weeks of ZILCH, ZERO absolutely nothing! Anyway the last two weeks i've dropped 3lb consecutively...

By having such a good weight loss you have basically scared the **** out of your metabolism, it thinks you are on some kind of crash diet and want to starve it! Let your metabolism calm down and realise you are still putting fuel in the engine and it will resume....

In the meantime you have to make a real effort with your fluids, it's not easy if you are not used to drinking much but it's a necessary evil xxx

Wow Sue, well done you !!!
I took my son and granddaughter to McD's earlier in the week, and pinched a chip and munched it to death before swallowing, would have loved to nibble a chicken nugget as well, but resisted ha ha xxx
