And so it begins...Kirsty's journey to a sleeve!!

[xk1rstyx]

Oh no iv been naughty went for a girls night out yesterday to celebrate my birthday had lots of beer, tequila and sambuca thn a small pizza at the end of the night. I feel bad doing it but im not gna let it spoil all my hard work gna seriously work hard this week and kids are off school so if weathers dry can take them for walks which will help. Drink lots of water and make sure i eat my 3 meals a day and fruit for snacks. I should still get about a 1lb loss maybe more when i weigh in on friday. Less than 4 weeks till my appointment cant afford to be slowing the weight loss down

That would be brill good luck with your appointment X

Well i really fell off the wagon over the weekend. Need to get my mind focused and get back on track. Less than 4 weeks till my appointment and no where near my target. I was thinking of doing the milk diet for a week before my appointment to boost the weight loss and also to give me an idea of what the real thing will b like when i do it for 3 weeks pre op. What do u all think. Need help and motivation to get me going agen.

Hi Kirsty must be something in the air I'm struggling these past few days too not to worry we can just get focused for tomorrow I was the opposite to you I wanted to be at my target well before my appointment I would be too scared to leave it a week before incase I didn't reach it but we are all different it's defo a good idea will help prepare you 3 weeks pre op longer than I have to do it for xx

Id prefer to b at my target much earlier but its jus not going to happen only had a few weeks to get there was expecting to have months. As long as im over half way i think will b ok but id prefer to hit the target. Id do 2 weeks milk diet but im a little scared if im honest. Iv jus lost all my determination but i know i can get it back. I will see how im doing closer to it i may have to do 2 weeks milk trial if i cant lose some weight an keep it off.

Bet your excited for next week thats come fast cant believe its almost november already. Will soon b our surgeries. You will b first but hopefully i wont b too far behind.

Kirsty xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

You will do it you really want this we just need to struggle a little longer yeah I'm excited it's coming round so quick also nervous incase they find something to stop me been put on the list from next week the phone could ring any day with my op date that's scary xx

Im really struggling this week to stay on track especially with the kids being off school they want meals out, baking brownies, fun days out where mainly fast food available. I think im defo gna do 2 weeks milk diet before my next appointment to help me get to goal. I was so proud of how id done but now i hate myself for not doing well. Im my own worst enemy. If i could lose weight by myself i wouldnt be having this op. The last 2 years iv found it almost impossible to lose weight and to keep it off. Dont know whats wrong with me. Jus wanna get this all over with and get my sleeve. I hope its not too long after xmas i get my op else i will drive myself insane with this inner battle.
im sure your endoscopy will go fine and you will be put onto the list. I cant wait till you have op so i can pick your brains about it all lol.

Kirsty xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

Your not alone we are all struggling you've proved you can do it and you will I lost interest at the beginning when waiting for appointments but got mite excited and determined after each appointment maybe that's just how your feeling and don't hate yourself you can see how hard you've been trying just keep telling yourself the next few months will be a struggle but if you don't hit that target the rest if your life will be a struggle I'm ready to get it over with now I'm more bothered about how long I'm going to be in hospital away from my kids going to be hell I want to be in and out I will be happy to tell you anything you want to know will be nice to be one of the ones to answer questions instead of asking them xx

Thanks for that advice really helps im feeling a bit better now. See what weigh in brings on friday. I think i put myself down so it doesnt hurt so bad when i fail. I need to have more faith in my self. Hopefully if i get a loss on friday it will motivate me to keep going.
Ah how old are your children? Thats one of my worries i hate being away from mine also. What are you telling people your in hospital for? I know my kids will blab so im saying its to have my another keyhole op due to my endometriosis and a endometrial ablasion as i have had about 4 ops due to gyne issues so no one will suspect anything. Also if i end up having open surgery wont b able to drive for a gd few weeks so will need family to help with school run etc. My hubby gna take a week off work to help out.

Kirsty xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old I've never been away from them and I live a bit far from hospital so will be hard for them to come and visit me I've got problems with ibs was getting tests for crohns and ny back so thinking of using one if them reasons but the people who will notice me gone are the ones who know I'm having op my husband is also using the last if his holidays at work for when I have it done xx

Ah iv got 3 kids 2 girls and a boy. Ages 4, 8, and 11. They keep me on my toes. How old are you? Iv only told my husband decided not to tell anyone else. Who have you told and how did they take it. I dont think any of my family would understand or support me so im not going to tell them. Im nervous for weigh in friday will b happy with jus 1lb loss.

hi kirst , you better bloody make it LOL I'm supposed to be your op buddy haha you can't make me do it alone !
i was gossiping with someone on here the other day I've just re traced my steps to remind me of her name, her name is 'ohtobeslinky' she got a pre operative diet plan from 'weight to go' they do a pre op package of shakes and soups. She brought it/them and she lost a stone in one week!!

I'm not trying to tell you to do that but if you get near the date and things haven't gone to plan I'm sure if you could do that to help you obviously its not sustainable and loosing weight like you have been is best but i mean to make sure your at your target wait and don't make me go it alone lol

also when you said "if i could lose weight by myself i wouldnt be having this op"
i totally agree and this is what i said to my dietician not my usual one but the one in the bariatric team, because its so true.

but nether the less you will be able to do it because you have done really really well so far , and you made the changes in your lifestyle rather than a diet which means is more then likely it will stay off ,dropping slowly than fast is the answer you probably still are loosing just slower. i hope you carry on loosing you looser haha xxxx

I promise i wont make u go it alone summer. Surgery buddies i pinkie promise haha iv gotten back on track since my little rant its jus so hard. Id worked hard for weeks and the thought that 1 weekend could ruin all that hard work really got to me but iv re focused and hopefully that shows when i weigh in tomorrow morning. I will b happy with 1lb and as long as im very close to my target i will b happy. I think if i keep doing what i am like you said lifestyle change rather than diet i will be successful. 3 weeks tomorrow till my appointment. The weeks are flying by. I jus hope i get the ok from psychiatrist first time round. Sure all this hard work shows im as mentally prepared as i can be. Nothing can truly prepare us for whats to come but im trying.
Hows things your end?

Kirsty xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

My appointment is Tuesday and I really wish it would hurry up I'm sick of waiting now lol one last hurdle then waiting list here I come not feeling real at all I'm soo happy about your weigh loss this week because it will push you to keep going and I understand how disheartening it is when you try so hard and don't loose so you should give your self a pat on the back and be proud xx

Ah tuesday i will b thinkin of you. What times your appointment. Iv got such a busy november so i know the next few weeks are gna just fly. Jus been for a curry with family first one in months used to go atleast once a week. Its not agreed with me tho its as if i cant tolerate the foods i used to since iv made these changes which i suppose is a gd thing its gna keep me away from it cuz the pain my tummy is in now aint worth it. Still cant believe my loss. You will be starting your pre op diet in the next few weeks are you doing the milk or food one?

Kirsty xx

 

[lin davey]

Hi Kirsty, I'm doing fine, keeping busy is keeping my mind off Monday, assume it will hit Sunday evening when the children and grandchildren come visiting. Will update you with how it goes on Monday. Keep up the good work. Lin xx

Thank you Kirsty my appointment is 1.30 wish I had an early morning one but better to take what you can lol November and December are my busy months so the weeks will fly in hoping to get a finish on Christmas shopping tomorrow so I'm not worried about doing it around op time yes your body does react to foods after changing your life style mine did too I'm going to do milk one will stick to that one better I think what about you what one you going for xx

Im going for the milk one also b easier less messing about and calorie counting. Im feeling great today been on such a high. Lets hope i can keep it going during the week and get another good loss next friday.
Im so excited for you i just cant wait till im closer im hoping if i get the ok from psychiatrist they will b able to give me a better idea of the time frame. I really hope i get to meet the surgeon although there is a lady who had op at my hospital and said she never once met the surgeon pre or post op so i suppose its not the end of the world. Im just so eager to know more about whats gna happen and when.
exciting times for both of us.

Well usually after the psychiatrist gives you the go ahead its jus signing the consent forms then pre op with anesatist so really shouldnt b long after this one. At the group meeting they gave us the impression that after next appointment its all pretty quick. Should know more when i go the 20th november. 2 weeks and 6 days not that im counting lol
