Well, it's now 3 weeks since surgery and the weight is dropping off!  Yesterday I hit 100.4 which means I've lost 10.3kg in total in 5 weeks!  You can now see I've lost weight in the face as well as my tummy and boobs! I took a photo of my scales with the reading as it won't be long and it will just be a mere memory!

My wounds are healing well but the big cut is taking a little longer.  I put bees wax on it twice a day and it does help.

My favourite shorts are very loose, so I won't be getting much more wear from them, so sad!

My eating habits have changed big time.  I am now on  Stage 3 Puree Phase, which consists of fruit smoothies (yummy), porridge, yogurt, cottage cheese, mashed avocado, soup, steamed veggies and chicken mostly. I do have a lot of variety.  Mostly I'm coping with very tiny meals but sometimes I push it just a little, and get very uncomfortable.  I'm still not interested in drinking tea, so I have water or water with benefibre.  I don't drink Coke zero anymore, nor have I have potato or bread (not that I'm allowed to have it at this stage), so all in all we're saving a lot of money!  This morning I had 1/2 peach which was HEAPS!  We had friends over on Sunday and I cooked a chicken and made a lovely salad (for the men) Toni is on Shakes and I had my 'baby food'.

I have just 10 days left until I go onto Stage four - 'soft foods' which lasts for 1 week and then onto normal healthy eating.

It's really funny, I see foods I used to eat and I am JUST NOT INTERESTED!  I don't crave for chocolate and I look at fattening food and it turns me off.  All I want is healthy food!  I lay in bed at night and all I can think about is what the new me will be like and wonder what size I'll be when Rebecca gets married (6th May).  I want to buy nice clothes but I really don't know how to dress for my age?  How weird is that?  I desperately need new underwear!  I think I'll have to have a long chat with my niece Tanya, she's good with things like that.

Well, that's it for now, must go and take some more measurements.
