Thanks for the posts ladies, it shows us that most of us are experiencing the same problems, Im going try and get my head into gear this week... after my nightshifts... lol, and motivate myself and hopefully we can motivate each other.
In answer to the question of when I had my endoscopy, it was 11th December, it should of been end of August yet despite pushing them I got messed about further, in the end I had another appointment with the consultant who said exactly the same thing as he had done on 4th July... my personal feeling is that I have had to do an awful lot of sorting things out to ensure I didnt slip any further behind than the five months.
I'm having my gallbladder removed as well as a bypass, I have been told it may be that my gallbladder is removed and I have to come back in 6 weeks for the bypass, I am not too happy about that as there are clear risks to having general anaethesia, so Im hoping and praying that they are both done together...
Linz, I hope next day off you have you don't stay in bed, try drinking plenty of water, they recommend 2.5 litres per day to help weightloss, and stave off hunger.. Im gonna start sorting through my wardrobe on my next day off so I can make way for the smaller size stuff that Im gonna be buying... another mad mental thought I had the other day whilst at the metro centre...was to buy one of the sale items in Debenhams which had 70% off and hang it up so after surgery I could keep trying it on until it fit... I had in mind a very glitzy dress that I had seen.. lol xx
Edwina, I think its great that you have gone along to the darlington support group, Im sure the lady who has organised it is called Christine as ive seen her on this forum and the sunderland one... I havent been to any of the support groups at sunderland yet, I would like to but... something always crops up... Let me know how it went, it may motivate me to make more effort to get to one. xx
so here's to another week of uncertainty, however, this week we are not alone, at least 3 of us are facing the same battles, so lets make this week a good one. If any progress is made in terms of pre-ops or op dates it a fab bonus, if theres none then its been a slightly easier week in the wls journey race to the finish, thinking about it more positively than negatively... We are nearly there ladies, to just need to refocus and keep heading for that finishline.
Love and best wishes for the weeks ahead.
Helen. x
