I weighed in this morning at 111.5kg/246 lbs/17st8lbs which is a loss of another one and a half pounds. I am disappointed and don't understand the low loss, but I know the professionals will be happy I am losing more slowly. The strange thing is that I am not doing anything different, so can't put the reduced loss down to anything in particular.
Otherwise everything remains as before with eating still being difficult, although when I am eating I think it may be easier to actually have food in my mouth than it was.
I have been growing butternut squashes this year and the last few weeks have seen me eating soup made from these and to increase my protein I have been eating a couple of smoked salmon slices a day. I think it's easy to eat because it's thin, a bit like the thin smoked ham slices I eat too some days.
My blood tests from last Friday came back showing a higher, bottom of normal range, level of potassium, so that's good. I continue to take the potassium syrup and the vitamin syrup to keep levels of potassium and vitamins in a good range.
Today I received an email from someone who has a family member who will be having this operation next year. He asked if I would talk to him about the operation and its effects. I am always happy to write or talk to anyone in private as I know how desperate I was for information before my operation. Just contact me and I will reply to you.
