Strange

In a funny way, my pre-op diet can't come quickly enough...I'm sitting here typing this with terrible acid indigestion and I know full well that this is purely due to eating Chinese food and lots of it. In hindsight I have no idea why we ordered so much, let alone why I ate so much!

Today has been an example of how a lack of planning can affect the way we eat, nothing worth eating in the house led directly to gorging on greasy food instead of getting off my arse and going shopping, though in fairness The Husband has also been suffering from a distinct lack of get up and go, which means we are both in need of the zantac.

One positive of this day of lethargy has been the discovery of a web site dedicated to weight loss surgery : http://www.wlsinfo.org.uk
Which has proven very helpful in answering some of my questions about the op etc.

Another issue I'm facing is that today I started metformin for my PCOS, it's supposed to help with keeping my hormones under control and blood sugars more regular...there's also some evidence to suggest it leads to weight loss, however, as with all good things, there has to be a catch....it can cause gastric issues. Not I might add those of an upper GI nature but more closely associated with the bowels....great.

So, on top of the heartburn, I could well be facing several trips to the flushing place....still at least it gives me time to write my shopping list, what do I need now?
mmmmm, errrr, zantac & loo roll at the very least...
