MRI on Sunday 9th March

Had my first MRI on my head and neck area last Sunday. Quite a daunting machine. Strapped down to a table, whilst listening to Phil Collins. Took about 30 minutes I guess.

Still not had any results back, which I am hoping no news is good news. Also still awaiting my next check up appointment.

Managed to keep taking my orlistat whilst on holiday in Austria. Didnt loose any weight, as most of the meals were served in a cream sauce, even the soup had dollups of cream on it. Had a beer every night too. But didnt gain any weight either, so was pretty pleased with that.

Back to work today, after almost a two week break. Still shattered from the holiday, but will soon get back into the swing of it.

Day 7

Day seven of taking Orlistat. At the beginning of the week, I was so tempted to chuck the whole thing in. Suffered from backache, headache and fatigue. Those symptoms seem to be lifting now.
I also bought myself some extra vitamins yesterday. Vitamin E and Beta Carotene, which apparently get lost whilst taking these pills
I'm not due to the drs for a weigh in until Monday 2nd Feb, but will weigh here tomorrow to see how I have done in the first week.

Getting quite excited about our holiday to Austria, only 6 weeks away now, already bought the snow boots. Just me and the hubby, no kids, phones, internet etc.
