Countdown to Balloon Launch

[cb4]

Poor u. Hope u get sorted soon

Only thing with being sick!!! I'm not interested in eating coz it hurts every time I swallow !!

 

[femfrankie]

You me both... Sticking to plain water & milky things just now and only skimmed milk because of its lower fat content. I can't even have a nice cuppa because I can feel it burning all the way down . Sorry about moaning I hate feeling sick at the best of times x

 

[cb4]

I just haven't put anything in yet! A cuppa that's it. Supose I will have a shake before going to the school.
Tomorrow will be better

Doc just phoned and i am now on lanzaprole(sp?) but in capsule form. Not my usual GP and she had no idea what a gastric balloon was, urghh really?? , and she wasnt convinced that the fast tabs would work any better. I dont know any better so there was no point arguing lol. I have also to stop all my "not so essential meds" in the meantime & phone the bariatric nurse for guidance on whats been happening to ask if this is normal .... seriously??. I had phoned BMI already anyway but since the nurse isnt in till this evening I left a message for her to phone me as regards the reflux. Fingers crossed the capsules work x

I had chicken satay skewers and a dessert spoon heaped of boiled rice, one rib and two prawn crackers. Will see what happens. I am so strict every day except one day a week, that's treat day. I had been to the pool with my little one so hey, we will see!

 

[femfrankie]

As long as you can control yourself I think its ok to relax a little occasionally
I allow myself two squares of choc on a Saturday night and that does me. Come bypass time I may never be able to indulge again.

 

[cb4]

Oh god the thoughts of putting food in again!!! My ear and troath is still too sore! Can't even do shakes
Would love an icecream to sooth the troath now I have to say not a hope.
At least I can't go the gym so I'm still home training franky and he's nearly there!!!
Will have to kill it in the gym next week

 

[RoseMcnose]

How are you doing femfrankie? Are the new tablets helping ?

 

[femfrankie]

Sooooo much better thanks Rose. I could feel them starting to work within a few hours and apart from being still off my grub & a burnt gullet I am nearly as good as new. I got my first night sleep since thursday night too so it all helps. Hows you after last weeks news? xx


CB4 how is the throat today?

 

[cb4]

Back the doc again today!!! More tablets! So I've overdosed on eat drops, solphadine, strepsils and mouth wash and I finally got a little bit of relief!!!
Hopeful for tomorrow !!!!
Can't wait to get back to exercising and loosing the pounds!!!!

 

[cb4]

Thanks femfrankie! Glad to hear ur doing a bit better

 

[RoseMcnose]

I am grand.I have bigger fish to fry at the moment as I lost my job. Trying to find a new one.

Delighted the tablets are working. I have had no issues so far with them. I am getting to a scarey time now as I am at a point where I have failed in the past. The next stone is going to be a massive mental goal for me.

 

[femfrankie]

Ohhh no Rose so sorry to hear this. Things are so c**p out there just now I hope you get something quick hun xx

 

[femfrankie]

CB4 I hope tomorrow is a better day for you...but don't be too hasty in getting back to the fitness treadmill. Let your body recover well first hun xx

Rose that's terrible news. But at the same time! Onwards and upwards!!! Mabey u need this change to keep u going!
I hope u don't have to stress too much over getting a job and hope u won't be waiting too long!!!
You any better femfrankie?
I have had a weight stall!!!! Gained a pound and a half! But I haven't been able to do any exercise! I sacrificed it for the potty training!!!! The hubby doesn't get home most nights till after 12, so I'm basically doing it alone. But with being sick I wouldn't have been able to get to the gym anyway. But I will get back to it!!!
Still not well at all but what can ye do!!!
It's only 27 days to the holiday and this is usually where I give up!!! I think to myself, I'm not going to loose any more so I may aswell give up!!!!!

I am exactly the same cb4, I am in the danger zone, a stall, and at the weight now where I usually slip. Up until now the weight loss I had achieved, I had managed previously without the balloon but then would reach the point I am at now and give up. So this is where the balloon is going to have to prove its self!!!! I am so glad I have my weekly support calls. They keep me going.

I went to mams for dinner last night! She cooked ham, turkey, veg and roast potatoes!!!!
She knows I can't have dairy n all that so she is very carefull with how everything is cooked!
Only thing was she forgot I had the balloon.
But I didn't mind. I thought I would be able to finish the plate!!!! I was starvin!
I ate less than my 5yr old. And loved it!
So I think that was a turning point!!! I have realised if I pay attention I will feel full fairly easy!!!
Can't wait to get back to it!!!!!

 

[femfrankie]

That's great CB4 onwards and downwards now. You will get by those stalls, you have to believe that and ignore what your head is telling you. I truly believe it's a conspiracy that our body cooks up to make us give up the diet... It's likes being fat! It has to let go of those stores eventually. So come on ladies we can do it!! xx
