As I said in my previous post, we had clinic appointments at the end of March instead of the beginning of april because of the Easter long weekend.

I went back on Wed to see Dr Layani, my surgeon, for an adjustment.

I only had 50ml put in this time because last month, when I had 100ml put in, I was so uncomfortable for almost a full 5 days and that put me off getting another 100ml this time.

The 50ml really has made a difference though, I felt it the moment I stood up after the adjustment. It's not an uncomfortable feeling, just a feeling of slightly more pressure on your stomach. Like you've just had a spoonful or two too much of your dinner and feel fuller. I've noticed my portion sizes have decreased, not hugely but they have decreased and that's the whole point.

I'm into my 3rd day of this new eating regime and I have to say I've noticed a massive difference. I have more energy during the day, and yesterday I was still full from lunch when dinner time came around. I still made myself have something though, there's nothing worse for your metabolism than skipping meals, but I only had a really small piece of grilled salmon and 4 satay prawns. Normally I'd have a massive piece of fish and 10 satay prawns. Even the small amount I had filled me right up.

I've also been trying to make more of an effort to drink more water, but if I could live on coke or pepsi alone I would. I just love my cola drinks and water is so bland in comparison. Don't worry, my dentist gives me hell about all the cola I consume. I've been trying to drink the water with just a little cordial in it, just to flavour it but still...I hate it. And I really do feel drinking regular cordial defeats the purpose of drinking the water. lol

Well that's my update for this month. My goal for the following month is to do some 'dedicated' exercise, at least once a week. I've got to get back into walking again, and make it part of my weekly routine.

Wish me luck.
