I have to admit I have been weak alllllllllllllllllllllllll day. At times a little delirious!

I'm ok now, managed to drink some water after my mom got a syringe in there :D



















































































































































































































































ONLY JOKING!!!! Do not try it at home folks!
 
CC - make that call please. Going to sleep for a bit but going to come back and check again. You cannot go on like this - if all else A&E - Heartlands have a bariatric unit - they may have someone on call.

Thank goodness. Ok going to rest now. Sorry if I missed the post to say you had been. I know that I must sound like a clucking mother hen:D.

Evening all - can I just ask a question? Do any of you find that after you've eaten a reasonable size meal that you have a pain in your left shoulder? I get it quite frequently, normally around 15 minutes or so after finishing eating, it's not mega painful or anything, more of a dull ache. I mentioned it to my dietician today and she'd never heard of it before apparently and thought it might be wind? It doesn't feel like wind but I'm no expert. It tends to happen most evenings after my dinner rather than when I've had a smaller meal at lunchtime or breakfast. I've not had a fill yet so in theory I shouldn't have too much in the way of restriction. Does anyone else have this at all?
 
Evening all. Well my plan to sleep today came to nothing. I hope to have a long rest tomorrow. I think I have gone too long without proper rest and my body does not want to now:(.

Other than just taking to my bed and staying put any tips?

I hope everyone is having a peaceful weekend.

Isn't it good not to sleep in the day anyhow? I mean if you sleep during the day then you can't sleep at night and for me that's even more distressing?

Anyway - I hope you manage to get some sleep overnight and have a good lie-in. :)
 
Tranquil sorry you`re not sleeping hun x

Had a few problems myself this week - self inflicted though!
Been staying up too late, when I know I have a really early start each day! Just can`t seem to settle down to go to bed, my body is absolutely shattered, but my head is still whirring away!

Last night I was falling asleep in front of the tv at 9pm, kept waking myself up - why did`nt I go to bed? It was 12pm by the time I went up; and yes I slept like a baby for all of 6 hours and I guess with the dozing in front of tv it was nearer 9 hours total....but I still feel like a zombie today!

With you Tranquil, your lack of sleep is probably more lack of time as well as emotional, you have so much going on in your life at the moment that you probably can`t relax enough! Neens hypnosis tapes may well help you hun x



Have a lovely Sunday everyone xxx









Love Kat x
 
Good morning folks, what a lovely day.

CC so glad you got it seen too, I hope things improve now.
Rache, good luck for the move, your plans to cycle to work have impressed me, my hubby is a keen cyclist and would love for me to be able to join him.
Kat, I go through periods like that as well, and then times when I'm in bed for 10, I love my kip.
Melly, could you try eating a smaller portion to see if that's the problem?
Neen, great advice as always, I think you should change your profile pic to the wisest of wise - Yoda
TB, did you manage to have a good sleep? Hope the situation with your parents gets sorted soon xx

Hope everyone else has a fab day x

No, but I do get a pulling sensation in my port area - thats how I know I've eaten too much.

Yes I hope TB is having a well deserved lie in. I know when I've been seriously stressed and/or depressed I can't sleep either. I did find my Paul McKenna [aka snake oil salesman:rolleyes:] useful for helping me sleep - not lose weight lol. I could send you a copy?

Oooohh good luck with the move Rache, excellent weather for it! :)

Neen is a sage and an achiever!

I think my head is messed up! I fear I don't have enough restriction and I'll not lose any weight. In a perverse way I preferred not being able to drink water as I felt I was losing as I wasn't eating. Now I can eat bits and drink easily (although I'm still dehydrated from 3 days of not drinking). Am I perverse????
 
CC I know I'd be thinking the same, we are complex creatures aren't we?! However, please don't be surprised if your body has gone into starvation mode after 3 days of barely eating/drinking. It'll even out again once your body realises that everything's ok.
Are you back on fluids and have you managed to get anything down? xx

back on fluids, only had 1/2 litre so far today. But will have another 500ml when I come back from my laser treatment.
 
CC you won't lose weight if you don't eat enough, have a word with yourself!

LOL! I can imagine a Cockney accent, even though you probably don't have one!

Seriously ...... I have lost weight in the last few days though and enjoyed but also hated the feeling of over-restriction. I've lost a negligible amount in the last 12 months so eating isn't great either :eek:
 
LOL I sound like the chubby hobbit from Lord of the Rings actually x
CC I stayed the same all last year!! If I could put my advice into practice I would be well away x
The things that worked good for me were the rosemary conley quick start program, 1200-1400 a day together with fairly sedate exercise (hours walk a day). My problem is doing them for long enough consistantly for them to work properly.
