Well I went to my work annual Ball on Saterday and it was very cool I actually managed to wear a dress for the 1st time in 10 years...I'll post pics when I get them! 

On the food front things are going well, i still dump really badly on carbs - they are EVIL! but other than that I'm fine with almost anything else...I can even enjoy a sneaky peice of chocolate once in a while. 

So today is 3 months out and I am now officially down 60lbs which is amazing...keep coming off pounds and keep me smiling!

Well its been a roller coaster ride but its going well, I just got back froma 3 week holiday in South Africa. 

I had a wicked awesome Xmas and New Year with friends and Family, ate some things i probably shouldnt have but all in all it was a blast. 

I've found that I can eat any kind of meat and all kinds of fruit and vegetables which is great - obviously these are all in quite small quantitiesand i am careful to eat slowly so i can feel when pouchy has had enough. 

ALCOHOL - well at first I was scared half to death of the stuff and what it might do so i barely touched anything - a couple of sips of wine at most but I have found that I can easily enjoy a glass or two of wine or a whisky and water with friends (I drink really slowly anyway) and it was all good and I am proud to say I can still have fun and do pretty much what I want in moderation...this is a good feeling and I feel liberated. 

aaah finally normal food and I can chew again! Its quite odd really co's it seems that just as I mastered the pureed stage its time to move on...bitter sweet really! 

I seem to have hit a plateau ont he weightloss front, been the same for almost a week now which isnt very motivational but I'm putting it down to the food change! 

I went out to a work function last night and managed to eat about 5 mouthfulls of steak and a couple of spoonfulls of soup, It was very wierd to have to leave three quarters of what I'd ordered ont he plate although some of the male collegues were all to happy to steal my remaining steak.

Tuesday was two weeks out and I feel great, have been back at work almost a week now and seem to be doing really well. I have to say that the puree'd stage is sooooooo much better than clear liquids (I was getting alittle bored of broth)

I tried to eat some puree'd seafood soup last night, it tasted great but 30mins later I felt like puking, actually I was totally tired and could have fallen asleep holding the "big white telephone" alas it passed and I went to sleep for 3 hours (on my bed) only to wake up at 10:30 so starving I felt like I could have eaten my car which incidently translated into me being able to drink 1 cup of tea nad have 5 mouthfulls of soup! 

I really just want to be able to chew something now...its been nearly 2 months since I chewed anyhting and I still have 10 days untill I am allowed to move onto "normal food" the other thing I battle with is Protien shakes...I dont know if its just whats avalable in the UK but they all taste like PLEUGH + are quite sweet and having dumped once I dont want to do it again!
