Hiya, I must admit, mine seems to have slowed right down, but I am having problems going to the loo :-((. I am on sloppies now, but had some mashed veg last night with gravy, hoping it would help me to go, no luck as yet lol xxxx

For the first few weeks don't take any notice of the weight. Your body is in shock and so will be all over the place.

This stage is for recovery. Follow the diet strictly and recover well. The weight will come off when you settle down.

Good advice from everyone. Just make sure you get in as much fluids as possible and as much protein in them to help your recovery. You have made excellent progress pre-op so I expect you will losing again soon once your system has got over the shock. Good luck. xx
