Actually it’s not so much about being low-carb at the moment as the inability to really eat anything following the operation. I got weighed in on Monday 29th October (Day 23) and had lost 4 lb bringing my weight down to 23st 5lbs. Being in hospital really brought the reality of needing to lose weight home to me; I had to have all the pre-op work done whilst I was awake which was one of the worst things ever, my blog post about that is here. If I hadn’t of been so overweight I could have been put straight under and that would have saved me awful lot of memories that I could really do without.

I did manage to eat a one-egg omelette yesterday that Sharon made for me. The problem is that since the operation everything just tastes way too salty, even sweet foods like custard are too salty. I even had salt-free food in hospital and couldn’t eat it because it tasted so salty it nearly burned. Strange?
