Evening all. I had a mixed day today. I met up with some of the Walsall Massive for a coffee or two and had a lovely time. I then had to go and see my ex hubby and he was in a bit of a state. Four and a half hours later I got home. Had the rest of the fish pie and back it came 15 minutes later. I was going to have some home made chicken stew but was not feeling that hungry and neither was Mr TB so the little bit of pie that was left was enough for us to split between us. I am gutted - I really thought I had turned the corner. I suppose I was stressed after listening to the ex's tales of woe. Did not expect it to cause me to be sick though
. Stress and my band just do not mix!
Sorry to be so depressing.

Ach TB you're not depressing at all! Everyone has "stuff" and its a good place on here to vent Anyway, I'm the most miserable one on here so there!
Rache- I got divorced in 1991- its a difficult experience and I ate my way through it and for the next 10years too! At least you can't do that! Anyway, it got to a point where I said sod it, I'm not going to waste any more negative energy on my ex and I stopped myself worrying about the stuff I couldn't control. Its not easy and I feel for you but believe me when I say that a time will come when it won't be the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning- honest! Things do have a funny way of resolving but it takes time. Last month, my ex and his new wife and me and my new husband ( of 10yrs) went to my son's graduation. I hadn't seen my ex for a decade and I was nervous but it was fine. .. a little awkward at first but the champagne helped! I'll never forgive him but I don't dwell on it any more. Big Hugs to you. You will get there xx

Well hello Marie, how're you? Wow you've only 4lb to get to goal, that's brilliant, you must feel amazing xx

Im ready to start my life
Hey sarah!
Thank-you..
Hmmm.. how am i feeling.. thats a good question..
I don't realise my weight loss.. i don't see myself any smaller. i currently hate my body, i mean i cant stand to look at myself in mirrors, i only look at shoulders up.. Oh and during sex, i try to hide my body as much as possible, and i prefer the lights off if no clothes are involved.. I do wear skinny jeans, but wear long tops to cover my stomach over hang, which is getting bigger in my jeans.. shapely bra's to mould the skin i have as boobs. and i wear a jacket or long sleeve top/ shirt to hide my sagging of my under arms. my band is constantly in my head i think of nothing else..
In march i ended my 7yr relationship to the father of my son, because my band consumed me and i didn't have the brain space to deal with the blips of our relationship..
I then found a fabulous new partner, who was everything i thought i could ever want.. but again.. i ended that because of the way i feel..
Today im going to my GP, to speak to them.. but other than that..
My not so little man starts primary school September.. im going to start taking my driving lessons and going into full time work.. i need to occupy myself before my band consumes me..

Riots...if I hear that word again I will scream. I work in the centre of Brum and having watched the pics of what happened last night I was expecting something akin to Beirut on a bad day this morning. However I was pleasantly surprised at how things had been cleared up and order restored.
All day there were rumours about more disturbances and in the end I sent most of my team home by 3.30 and left myself about 4. I managed to get back into Wolverhampton only to find the rioting and looting was just kicking off. I went towards the taxi ramp to find no taxis and all I could see were youth, police and the smell of burning thick in the air. Having got caught in the middle of a riot back in the 80's I decided nearly 30 years or so on that I did not want the experience again. I walked round the corner and found a quiet spot to call taxi companies but they all said the same thing - that they had been told by the police not to come into the city centre. I rang Mr TB to break the bad news. He was by this time somewhere in orbit with worry. I told him I would walk home and go the long way round to avoid the centre.
The point of this long ramble is that a year ago, perhaps even 5 years ago I would not have been able to contemplate walking back. I did it in half an hour. I was hot and sweaty but surprisingly felt fine. Good job I had not gone out on my bike this morning as I am not sure the legs would not have taken it.
It took a riot for me to appreciate once again what having the op means to me.
I wish you all a quiet evening wherever you are.

Had my pre-op yesterday, all went well until they told me I have to do my pre-op diet for four weeks Luckily it's the food one, so won't be just drinking milk for a month, but annoyed cos I'm going away over the Bank Holiday to see friends that I haven't seen in over a year and now I can't go out for dinner/drinks :-(
Did have an amusing thing yesterday at the hospital though when the nurse couldn't find any blood in me - she got a bit frustrated and said "It really would be easier to get blood out of a stone!" Luckily I saw the funny side of it - she was a bit embarrassed *lol*

Marie I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way, how did you get on at the Dr? I think I may have similar problems with loose skin, I'm already showing signs of it, esp my upper arms and thighs. My son also starts school this year, in fact we've only 2 weeks left of the hols up here so it's getting scary. Take care x
TB, how terrifying for you, I've lots of cyber friends who live south of the border, and I admit to being worried for them. Is there signs of more trouble today?
Mio, how exciting that your wls journey is about to start. The pre op diet isn't too bad, and it prepares you mentally for life with a band xx
I'm having a hungry couple of days, as it does every month at this time, but nothing much happening otherwise)
