Well I finally got through ,Sarah is off this week so Lorraine is doing everything , she did leave me a voice mail but I never listen to them ..that'll teach me lol ....anyway she said it will be June going by my position in the list, She said I would get a fine call in May offering me a date followed by a letter confirming this if I accept the date offered .she did say I would be weighed again before the liver reducing diet ...thats all I needed to hear ....super strict now xx
 
How are doing are you managing to stay on track ? I am ish , trying to anyway .i"'ll be happy if I can maintain as long as Idont out on xx
 
Hiya,
Sorry for the delayed reply. Been organising getting my new bathroom fitted and all the bits and pieces that come along with that. I thought getting a bathroom was ment to be exciting. It's been more stress than anything else.
As a result I slipped with my diet. Long days equaled take aways, fish and chip shop runs and cakes. Nothing in the world should be deterring me right now but it is. Need to get my head around things again before I get a phone call off the nurses. Luckily, weighed myself on Friday and had only put 2 pounds on but I am still below what they last weighed me at so fingers crossed I head a bout of common sense before anymore weight creeps back on.
Completly back on track since Saturday with nothing stopping me....well apart from the nasty headaches and shakes lol.
Been trying so hard to keep myself busy so not thinking about the surgery constantly and have actually sabotaged myself in doing so. I mean really....
Who does that? That would be me lol.
Anyway how's things with you? Hope you've done better than me? Xxx
 
Oo new bathroom sounds very nice , unfortunately I'm not doing too good either ,first my daughter was home from Manchester for a week,then the kids were off for 2 weeks so I really struggled having little cheats not loads ,but Easter was a killer ,never realised how much I craved chocolate but over Easter the house was full of it and I'm sorry to say I had 2 Easter eggs plus the sweets inside them ,Saturday I was out shopping with the kids n had a bag of chips for lunch ...what the hell is wrong with me ,I know may is nearly here I should be super strict .im going swimming tmoro night so that should help . Last time Vanessa weighed me was 7th March at liver seminar I was 124.8kg I weighed myself 2 days ago I was 126.1kg , is that just over 2lb .sick as a chip but only me can change things .xxx
 
Just jumped on the scales ,I'm now 125.1 ,just hope I can stay on track,it's in my own interest but I'm my own worst enemy sometimes .xx
 
There's 2.2 pounds in a kg. I just keep thinking it's may soon and that is the month i should be hearing something. That's what has Gotten me back on track I'm fully back on board now.
Kids are back at school and college now so I have my routine back.
How did swimming go? Was it quiet? Xx
 
Yes swimming was good, went last night it was busier than on a morning , I'm going again in the morning for an hour . Got on scales this afternoon was 124.8 so gone down a bit more ....think it must be the swimming ,think it's got me back on track ,finally . Just keep thinking its 1st may on Monday and Lorraine said I would hear in May .think if I haven't heard anything by 2nd week in May I'll ring them again ......getting excited now xxx
 
I've been good as gold all week so far. Weigh in day on Saturday so fingers crossed I've lost or at least maintained. I'm expecting a maintain though because the food I ate the couple of days before I weighed in last won't have gone on at that point. As long as stay below the the last weight I weighed in at with the hospital, I'm happy.
Off to pick up the last bits for the bathroom tomorrow then we will be all ready for the fitters coming on the 15th. Just hope I don't get the call before I can experience my new bathroom lol....we are so used to the horrible council shallow baths. It will be lovely having one with a bit more depth to it. Xxx
 
I think I'm eating a bit more but I seem to have more of an appetite think it's all the swimming ,I went again this morning only stayed for 45 mins but did 26 lengths . I'm going again in the morning ,been on Google n 40 mins of breaststroke general pace burns 833 calories . That's gave me the motivation to go more ,going to try go at least 4 times a week . ....got a letter from specialist weight management ,an appointment for 17th may , wasn't expecting it didn't realise I was still under them xxx
Oo nice deep bath , I've lived in this house 5 years ,we owned our last house but had to sell due to my other half coming out of work ,was devastated but that's life , we had a corner bath and I loved it it was deep but massive as well I could get 4 kids in it together when they were little lol . Hate the bath we have now I never use it I always shower ,God I miss that bath xx
 
Hiya,
How are you? Hope things are going well. I was doing great till I spent 7 hours ironing yesterday and was to exhausted to do the kids teas so ordered in for them. My daughter left 3 slices of pizza and I ended up robbing them and then had a bite of my sons parmo. Could kick myself. I'm actually at a point where I don't want the nurse to ring me incase I've put weight on.
Xxx
 
Hya , I'm much the same as you, well worse .went out with my girls on Friday for tea had Cajun chicken baguette with salad & coleslaw but then added home made chips . Saturday I was having a down day n ate that much I went to bed with tummy ache n then was sick in the early hours . Been ok since tho lol . 7 hours ironing OMG don't know how you could manage it , I hate ironing I iron as we need it . I rang North tees again yesterday they'll be sick of me .anyway it was Lorraine, I asked if they had done the list for June , she said sarah had the diary but she would ring me back . Sarah rang later that day n they still haven't done June list , then asked if I could go short notice which I can . She said they get a few not wanting it done due to holidays so let's hope we move up the list quickly . Sarah said usually at least 2 weeks notice , Lorraine said a month lol xxx
 
With any luck..... we could even be in there on the same day at this rate. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow I think.... just to make sure I am on the cancellations list. Xx
 
Imagine if we were lol , let me know what they say ...I'm going swimming again in the morning try to burn more calories . How's your back xxx
 
Same as usual....it's more painful on a night. It's just more of a pain now with me having this plantar fasciitis in my left foot and being numb from the nerve damage in my right foot. It's so hard to walk that I tend to stay indoors as much as I can. I only tend to leave the house on a Friday and even then it's only for a couple of hours because of the pain. So I think the lack of movement is contributing to the weight gain. I wish that the bariatric team could understand this but it's my understanding that it doesn't matter what's wrong or why....they still insist on loosing weight. While I completly understand the reasoning behind it, I think they should look more into someone's medical history and try and understand why it might be difficult for them to maintain or loose weight and have a bit of leeway. I understand it's only fair but some people really do struggle because of their lack of being able to exercise. Even my neurosurgeon has told me not to do anything but swim. No excessive exercising, no excessive walking and absolutely no running. It's difficult for me to get to the swimming pool so that leaves me nothing lol. It's so hard. Sorry for the rant, it's just upsetting when all you want to do is get up and go work out in a gym (which is what I used to do before my surgerys) and you can't. A better word for it would be devastating xxx
 
Well I think every case is different and should be treated as such,you have done brilliant you've lost a lot already surely they will realise this but if not point it out .to be honest I've not really lost since was list weighed ,maybe a couple of pounds .just trying to maintain has been hard enough . I was talking at a friend who had her op last April n she said don't worry to much about weight loss they're more bothered about the liver reducing diet . Let's bloody hope so eh !!!. Don't be too hard on yourself , it's impossible for you to do exercise that's not your fault . Just try to explain it to them . Shame you can't get to a pool .isnt there a hydrotherapy pool in north tees , maybe you could get your doctor to refer you xxx
 
I gave them a ring this morning and spoke to Sarah. She explained that they are hopefully doing the list for June tomorrow but if not it will be early next week. I told her my situation and she said as long I don't put weight on I'll be fine......even after explaining to her in great detail. Now I don't expect half a stone and over of a gain to be acceptable but for her to at least say don't panic we understand and don't make yourself sick with worry and we understand your situation might have helped but she didn't. Just more in the way of.....whatever you do don't put weight on!..... I think I maybe shouldn't of made that phone call. Because it's made me worse :(:banghead:
 
Try not to worry to much , have you weighed yourself this week, it's still possible to lose and not do exercise, just try to be extra careful ..i..it won't be much longer now . It's a shame to come this far for it to all go pear shape . When I'm being super strict I practically live on snack shots ,crisp bread with cottage cheese & fruit .I know how hard it is ...just try to keep at it n don't lose heart it's not for much longer, it will be worth it in the end . I've been weighing myself every other day this morning I was 124.7 which is the same as I was at liver diet seminar give or take an ounce or 2. I was 123.8 on Sunday but only had pjs on lol . I'm being super good from now on , there's light at the end of that tunnel now . Xxx
 
It's a shame you can't get to the pool , you could of come with me . 40 minutes breaststroke General speed burns off 800 calories . Xxx
