Countdown to Balloon Launch

[RoseMcnose]

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

I agree,my body/mind has had enough and clearly wants to go back to old ways. Must hang on!!!!

Chinese has had no ill effects by the way.

 

[cb4]

Thanks support will get us there!!!!

I'm keeping busy at home! Painting and clearing out while I'm stuck in with the little man potty training! The joys but I'm getting a lot done.
Hopefully if I stay home for the next few days I will be fit for the gym Monday morning along with the little man and no nappies

I had a Chinese and was grand after it also! Mind u it tasted crap!!!!
Back to eating today and yesterday!!
Bit of sunshine the weekend will have us all sorted

Well that's kinda the reason I had one! We would have Chinese maybe once in a blue moon and that's how I want to continue when the balloon is out. I want to get some practice in with portion control with situations like that when I have the balloon there as a tool.

How are things with the dietician femfrankie? And you too cb4, how is the support going?

I rand Dave last week to say I had a growth in my troath and the doc said it would have to be removed. He asked the surgeon and said to go ahead see the specalist. I haven't heard from him since!!! I'm now waiting to see how long he takes to contact me!!!!!!!
Was no growth, just a dope for a doc!!!! Hence why I'm so sick now! Had I ave gotton an antibotic early last week I wouldn't have gotton this bad sorry! Rant
Yea so I have no support except you two here
Oh and my mam!!! She's great since a few days after I told her! She was not impressed to start with

I am so sorry to hear that. I spoke to them in the past but was not impressed. I decided to go for the UK instead because of that. Did they offer a support program? I get a weekly session. They call me and I have a program to go through. I have dietician and nurse support and the program is a cbt based behavioural modification program and goes on for 18 months.

Let me know if I can do anything to help. I suspect you will be waiting to hear from them for a while!

 

[cb4]

Thanks so much.

You two are doing a fab job of supporting me
I'm busy painting In between potty training!!!
Haven't had much time to be sitting today

 

[femfrankie]

The support I get from BMI is good in that I see the dietician every month but both nurse and dietician are either a phone call or an email way should I have a problem. So sorry to hear that you don't get that support CB4 that just sucks. Glad though that you have found us and your family to be supportive . Just ask away hun and we will do our best xx

How are yous doing ladies

I'm on the mend. 2 antibiotics, ear drops, cough sweets, mouth wash, troath spray and a few other bits! But I'm finally on the mend
Went back to the gym today!!!!!! After two full weeks!
It was great and the little man stayed dry all morning too! Fingers crossed it will stay that way

Ah what a star!!! Great little man. All good here, had a blow out yesterday, mothers day and all. Had three courses. Ended with tiramisu!!!! Bad mommy!!!!!! Calorie count for whole day was 1800 approx so hoping I will get away with it!!

Am still on track with the weight loss. Looks like I loose one week, the stall for a week or so . Three pounds to go and I have shifted 2 stone. Three stone to go!!!!! Still in major danger zone. This is territory of failure!! Must work through it!!!!

 

[cb4]

Well done Rosie!!! That's fab! Blow puts are good if u can leave it at a once off! I can't!
With being sick I've gone from not eating to eating bread rolls and crisps!
But out for dinner last night and had a 1/4 of a small portion of beef dinner!!!! And that was it!
So I'm back on track finally!
Down a half pound! Not bad for two crap weeks!
Only three weeks to the holiday and I'm in fighting mood! I will loose more weight before the holiday! My goal was to loose 10 more pound by then! Will just have to see how hard I can work

Yes, it's holding it to once offs that's the problem. I find it hard to get back on track once I slip. I can be so strict and then one slip and I am literally sledging down that slope to failure!!!

Well done for your half pound. Not easy when you are sick. Get yourself a good multi vitamin.

Any news from our mutual friend Dave?

 

[cb4]

No news at all from Dave!!! That's two weeks tomorrow. I should have also had a one month checkup today!!!!
I don't mind at the minute. I want to get myself back to normal before I have to go over to him. But I did expect an email at least!
Next week I will be looking for the support promised!!!! I will be needing it but right now I'm ok!

Hi ladies glad to see you are both doing so well. Congrats Rose on the losses.. Well Done!
I have lost another couple of pounds so i am now safely in the 22's . I have not been there for over 10 years now so feeling quite proud of myself hehe. Had another horrible weekend with reflux but think i have found the trigger for the attacks ... decaff tea! My pregnant sis drinks it and prior to both weekends I have visited her, drank tea and within hours suffered what has been the most horrific reflux that has lasted on each occasion for 3 days . Anyhoo feeling like my old self again today thank goodness.
My only gripe is that have I developed a sudden intolerance of being cold?! Now you are talking to a person that would gad about in freezing conditions without a jacket on and sleep with the window wide open because she was too hot. Not now though. My legs and feet are like ice blocks and I feel chilled to the marrow even when the thermostat reads 25deg when last year it sat at a steady 21c... oh well its a small price to pay hahaha. x

Well done femfrankie, sorry to hear you have had reflux though. I know exactly what you mean about the cold. Not this time but previously I had that very thing. I could not sleep unless I had serious heavy bed covers. I would never have normally been like that. You have my sympathy. Unfortunate where you live too!!!! Not a good place to be sensitive to the cold!!

Back to your weight loss, you must be so proud. In the 22 s is brilliant, look how far you have come. You really are an inspiration. Keep at it, it you and I are going to have a day out in MacArthur Glen some day, skinny lattes and boots all round!!!!

Oh I am sorry but have to say, not surprised. You give them hell next week. You have paid for it, they need to step up to the mark!

Poor u femfrankie!!!!! My mam suffers terrible with heartburn since having her band done five years ago!!! That's terrible!
I don't know how I have managed to dodge all side effects!!!!!
But then again with two kids I just don't get a second to even listen to my body!!!!!

Lol!!!! The cold thing! That's the joys of loosing weight!!!!! But it will feel good if u go to a hot country!!!! So much better than walking around swetting and not being able to breath in the heat!

It's a lot got to do with lack of carbs! If u have cut out carbs then u are much colder.........
Well done on the weight loss!!!! You are going strong. You should be so proud of urself xx

 

[cb4]

Will do Rosie!!!! I'm owed it......

Thankyou Rose .... Boots:drool::drool: MacArthur Glen ... you are on lol
On the cold front i was seriously cramping hubbys style in bed the other night as i was literally clinging to him so i could drain every little bit of heat out of him. Poor sod couldnt move without me seeking him out:8855:

Frankie, can I ask why you have the balloon pre bypass?
