    Well I started this Wednesday and as of today it has worked wonders for me.

    Yesterday I managed on 4 paracetamol, 4 ibuprofen and only 3 codenine. A huge drop from the 8,8 and 16 I was taking a day.
    I managed to sit forward enough to drive my car last night with out squashing it.
    I feel up to having a walk today with my Husband and the dog.

    I look so much smaller, the mass obviously has more space to be inside instead of out. My stomach has went from 33cm from under my rib cage to my pubic bone to 24cm.

    I also have dropped 7lb of water/glycogen/fat in a those few days.

    I'm only managing to get around 850 calories a day though so really need to find foods that fit better as I'll be eating like this until the 9th.

    Do you like seafood? I'm not a big fan, but yesterday we were at a seafood restaurant and I had the grouper and my mom had the shrimp and calamari stew (nothing fried). Both prawn and calamari are low fat.

    I love seafood and have been having around 200g a day.

    My diary is open feel free to look. Just need to get the calories up. I'm managing to get in some veg and calcium.

    Did they give you an upper limit for fat or did they just tell you to eat as low fat as possible? This sucks. Hopefully it will be over soon and you'll bounce back to your former glory.

    Yes. 25g.

    It's far from healthy but it is reducing the pain significantly.

    Can't wait! As soon as I come out of surgery I want an Indian takeaway :D
