5 day pouch test results

[salski]

Well my weightloss has been odd recently.
I didnt weigh from Jan to Feb as I was sure the amount of crap I had eaten and the way my clothes felt that I had not lost anything.
I went on my own scales at home that read I had put on and was back up to 12 stone and then the day after was down to 10 stone!
I decided at the end of feb to go to boots and weigh, that said I was 12stone 2lbs - I thought A) I had been constipated for 6 days B) they were not my own scaled C) it was mid afternoon just after lunch rather than first thing in the morning.
I was disheartened and therefore decided something had to change! I decided to complete the 5 day pouch test.
I have weighed on my scales at home and they read pre 5 day pouch test at 12 stone...today the read 11.4lbs....God knows what I lost, or if I did lose, but at the end of the day - Im sporting comfy size 14's and my head is so focused on eating better the 5 day pouch test really helped me!

Well done Sal on the weightloss and the fact you've managed to get your head back into gear. I'm on day 4 of doing it so hopefully my results will be as good as yours!

Yeah. My BMI is overweight and the top of that scale! I dont think being short helps, but I feel this last few days like if I never loose a single more ounce, I am finally happy with myself, my diet and my weight loss. Its well over 10 months since I had my op and its taken a long while getting there

Well done Sal thats brill, i am gonna try again when i feel better i have now developed a bloomin cold .
Went for check up yesterday was disapointed that i didn't see my surgeon Mr Wan but some other consultant surgeon. The first thing he said to me was to ask if i had recieved a letter about the meeting that was held by multi discipline team about my case , well for a minute i was totally flumoxed but then realised that he hadn't fully read my notes so i told him that i had had my surgery, his reaction was well what are you here for , a check up says me, so finally got down to it Anyway upshot is another appointment in 6 months.
If i had seen Mr Wan there wouldn't have been any mis-understandings I wonder if i phone up and ask they will let me see Mr Wan next time, :sigh: The receptionist said they don't think he does clinic anymore

What a joke hun! Its not good - but if you feel you need support you are more than entitled to go back to your team to see your surgeon or a dietician at least! Ring the hospital and explain you want more help, or go back to your GP and ask for him to get onto the hospital?
I really may not be the BEST person in the world to give you advice and help as I struggle a lot, but I am feeling really good (bloody finally) about my weight loss anf food choices so if you ever want to talk or email or anything I am here hun You PM me if you need to x

Awww thanks hun thats really sweet, saw my dietician a couple of weeks ago and she was really nice, she knows i have been struggling and if i have problems i can always ring her. Right now i just want to get over this cold and then i can try and concentrate on doing 5 Day Pouch Test again.
It's really good to know that i have support from you and others on here, it really helps thankyou
