All booked and now on that road of no return

It won't be long before you get that fill and your patience at following the plan will pay off!

Hi CW :cool:

Hopefully the summer. I think I have a date pencilled in but I have to have a few apts first. Also have the added complication that I have to have knee surgery which is probably going to be end of May so I have to have a gap to recover and also due to the general anaesthetics as well.

Giving me time to get my head straight though.

Have also just moved our holiday as it clashes with proposed surgery date - double edged sword a) I get to eat out for the last time fully but b) I am still going to be a fat hot sweaty mess on holiday :eek: !!! I think I will have 2 days after holiday before starting LRD. Eeep.

I started my LRD on the plane back from my holiday 2 wks ago ... So hard sat on the plane with a black coffee ... Day nine now and not to bad .. Surgery is May 3rd .. At least that will be your last sweaty holiday lol ... And I can't wait to fly again without the extension belt and be able to put the tray down in front of me xx
 
Hey all
Here I am 4 weeks post op .. To say time is flying by is an understatement .. In total 6 weeks ago today I began my LSD and at the time the time dragged slower than a broken slug ..
I began eating solids at the weekend when I just had to have a roast chicken dinner at a pub , it was heaven .. Followed by a small dish of sticky toffee pudding with Stout ice cream.. But that was all I had to eat that day apart from some Fage yogurt later in evening ..
Went to Boots to weigh in and I have lost another 2lb ! Well nearly 3lb but I'm sticking with the lower pound ..
So another 2lb gone forever . Never to be seen again ..
Slow but good .. Not to concerned as I havnt had my first band fill as of yet , but keeping very mindful of what goes in my mouth as I know , with my appetite returning with a vengeance , I could easily over eat and eat all the junk I had before .. So it's getting hard to keep focus at this time as my old addictions , boredom eating , could so easily creep back in ..

I need my fill , so will call my team tomorrow and find out where my appointment is ..

So in total I have lost 34lbs . In 6 weeks .. So that's an average of 5.5 lbs per week :)
Sounds pretty damn good eh !

You're doing so well but you're also making me so hungry!
 
Just about to call my support team and the letter box rattled with my date !
I am seeing Dr Byrne on wed 18th may , so I hope he agrees to give me my first fill . :)
 
Excellent! not long to wait then! I hate waiting for dates - I keep having to chase at the moment for my knee op and I keep getting told to phone back in a few days! It makes the waiting worse and just drags.

My calendar is just full of medical appointments at the moment, I am getting confused what appointment is what and which hospital it is at! It doesn't take much to confuse me at the moment :whistle:
 
Lol Hannah , I'm like that also , but we have a lot going on in our heads at the moment !
I find myself totally spacing out while I try and get my head together :)
 
@Hannah2 I've been like that recently. The last 2 weeks I only had one day off each week. Quite nice to have a rest this week before surgery next. Do you have that thing where they have to check all your details are the same every appointment too? I hope you get the knee op date very soon. I'd have been sleeved earlier but had another surgery to get through first too.

@countrywench it's always the way isn't it. Fingers crossed for your first fill :)
 
Thank you carol ! I'm battling old demons at the moment with eating .. But I will win this battle ..
 
Amazing lose! Well done!!

Hi Fee, yes they check the details each time - and weigh each time!!!! but also I have had them think that I have been referred to the wrong place because they confuse my notes - I had an appointment with lower GI but there were no notes/ referral letter but there was for my upper GI bariatric referral so he thought I had been booked in the wrong place! I had to explain why I was there.

Then for one test I turned up at the wrong hospital and they couldn't work out why I wasn't on their list - I had to do a mad dash across town to the other hospital - luckily I was still in time to have the procedure! In my defence they agreed that it was not clear on the letter which hospital it was for!

Next week I have 3 different appointments on one day, across 2 different hospitals! I won't know if I am coming or going!!!!!!
 
I so know what you mean!
One day I had appointments in both the main hospitals so had to zip access the city and annoyingly the one nearest me is really hard to get to on the bus. Because I have limited mobility I end up spending a fortune on taxis. It feels like a full time job some weeks. One of the biggest benefits I'm hoping to get from surgery is -eventually - is a less time in hospital :)
I'm disabled so I'll never be fully free but maybe I could go part time lol ;)
 
Keep battling..90% of the battle is in your head! My stomach was just an accomplice! Your are doing great..everytime you get a moment of weakness think WTF am i doing...ive paid thousands for this dont throw it away! Those words work for me x
 
I'm trying believe me . Lol .. Been a tough day to be honest .. Was so dead at work so I spent a lot of time reading on iPad , but that's when boredom eating raises it head for me .. And it took a lot of will power to resist the urge to go next door to co op and get something to munch on ..
This is what I settled on today . Not a perfect day , but not a bad one either

Smoothie for breakfast . Will have to stop having them every day , now I can eat , maybe every other day .
A pack of chicken breast , well chewed lol
A pear
I bought a pesto pasta and chicken pack from co op , I used to love this meal , but only managed to eat about a quarter as it didn't taste the same and I found it dry in my mouth .. Went in the bin .
Options hot choc made with milk
Small cat bowl of sausage lasagne mix cooked with sliced courgette instead of pasta sheets , a tiny sprinkle of cheese on top ..
Well over 2 litres of water .

Counting the days till my band fill ..
