Todays effort was a teacup of cornflakes. A digestive bisuit for lunch and when I get home a finger size bit of chicken, a tea spoon of swede and maybe if I'm lucky half a new potato.
Ouch.
I suppose you just have to not really think about food any more. And just look forward to other things instead.
Thinking about food is about all I do!
As clever as this operation is, it's a physical solution to a pyschological problem.
But it's got to be worth it!
I get to live.
.... and write a book about it.

Call it 'Thinner.' Oh wait, Stephen King beat you to it. 
It would also be a good title for an autobiography by a lisping sinner.
Call it '7 Mini Eggs Is Out'.
It's called "Everything to Lose"

I just read the publisher's pre-launch review and it looks like a cracker. I've already pre-ordered my copy.

Kenneth, you know that's not his book. Why are you being so funny?

Hi Ellie, thanks a lot.
Medically it's called "dumping" - a lovely name. Basically, as my gut can't process the sugary stuff, it shots it through really quickly. This means I feel sick ( but can't be ), dizzy, start sweating and then it exits the body in the tradional manner in a not very pleasent way.
Something to avoid I think.
Ah okay, you poor thing. I love my food, so I think you're very brave doing this. Moderation has always been an issue of mine, and having lost 2 stone last year and really could do with losing another 2 stone, I think that's the only way!

Crikey! Is there something your profile pic is not showing us?
Yep, my massive belly. I'm actually a stone lighter than I was in that photo I think.

It was a case of having too! If I didnt have the op I would have kept on getting bigger and bigger. The surgeon gave me five years to live!
There was no other option.
Were we supposed to PM you pics of ourselves?
