Update: Wow 1 kg gone yesterday taking my total so far to 3.2kg lost.

Will be interesting to see how today goes, we have a tool box meeting at work where we have subway for lunch. I ordered a salad bowl for a treat
I'm not considering it as cheating because I'm allowed to have 2-3 cups of veg a day..

[ROBSKI]

130.7 TODAY.... 4.2kg down

[ROBSKI]

129.0kg for a couple of days now.. seemed to have platoed (sp)

Not feeling hungry at all untill the food adds come on TV..lol Must have lost weight on my fingers because my wedding ring keeps flying off when I throw the ball to the dog...

Have been having a subway bowl once a day since Wednesday and today I couldnt finish it...Woohoo.
Back to 3 opti's a day now because I really want to get to that 10kg goal before surgery.

Cheers Robski

Howdy all, 4 days post op and feeling pretty good really. Have managed to go for several walks with the wife and the dog. First walk was just around the block and last night managed 2.5k at a slower than my normal pace,

Down 9kgs to date so I'm excited about that

As posted in Feb Bandits post, still no bowel movement but I can feel something brewing...lol

How bloody itchy are these dressings???? I cant wait for the wife to get home from work so I can take them off.
She's an EN and bringing some opsite home and some stuff that dissolves the sticky shit...

I cant remember witch scar is where the port is??? There is an incision about 4 inches above my belly button and then another just under my chest. I think I was still under the influence of the drugs when my surgeon came and saw me the next day.

thanks for looking
Robski

Hey Rob

You are doing great..Yep can sure relate to itchy..I have been using vitamen E to hrlp.

The scar above you belly button will be the port...

Cheers

Hi Robski,
So how was the optifast results? My surgeon in Perth said not to worry about it as I had already lost 12 kgs, just had a dieticians appt blood tests, then in for surgery last week. 1st March. So far, so good, a bit of gas pain around the ribcage but no hunger. Will start the soupy stuff today so if anyone has recipes I would love some alternatives to the canned / packet stuff.

[ROBSKI]

Hi Kip, optifast I managed 7kgs all up. It wasnt the 10 I wanted but the surgeon said she was really happy with that and the liver looked excellent.
I also heard she is the Liver transplant specialist in Adelaide so I guess she would know...lol

As for soups I just use salt reduced chicken stock a couple of chillies, garlic cloves and a bunch of coriander bashed up in the mortar and pestle.
ohh and a teaspoon of doggy style...

[JosieW]

Rob? What is a teaspoon of doggy style?
Cheers

I'm glad you asked...lol

It is an Asian chicken and garlic stock powder... When a mate of mine and I discovered it we used to much and I said to him "it will be doggy style only tonight"

Ever since when we share a recipe we say "and a teaspoon of doggy style..." I hope you find it as funny as we did.

Cheers Rob
