12st dead this morning
I remember when a few of us were desperate to get under 12 for Xmas. You guys are all sitting in the 10s and close to the nines now and I'm still at 12 - really depressing. But you only get out what you put in on guess ;-(

Aww you will get there!!! You look fab..No ones every totally happy with themselves..me included!!! We will get there together xx
Nowhere near the 9's here Kirsty. :-( If what they think is wrong with your band is right, it does explain a lot. The tool you thought you had, just isn't there. You're doing great at the moment just to maintain - please don't be hard on yourself. X

Oooooh no not here lol only just made it to the 11's so i'm with you gal
don't get despondent this is always going to be a lifetime battle ....once you accept it, it seems an awful lot easier.... we've got maintenance sorted mind lol so once we get there were laughing LOL slow and steady wins the race... I try and look at it in one of two ways......... I either deny myself and get there quicker or take the slower route and enjoy the process
Kfc mini wrap and ice cream today..........hmmm me thinks its the slower route this week LOL Slim for summer as Daisy would say
get something to focus on (summer meet up) and GO FOR IT x x x x

I have stopped my floxitine in preparation for any potential surgery that may be required to sort out my band. I am feeling totally paranoid......no I'm not!! I'm feeling totally let down I was supposed to be having a 12 week old GErman Shepard pup today for a week as her owner is going to Portugal for a week For anyone who does not know me. I am immersed in two things my 1) my dogs and 2) all things doggy. This girl is a GSD breeder, an amazing trainer, and had boarding kennels. But she boards my girls in her home as we have been friends for many years I got a txt from her late yesterday to say her pup had a tummy bug and she was leaving her with her son at the home/kennel set up. Now I think this was pretty cheap. Had the positions been reversed, I would have called her to discuss this She had three other pups going to new owners next week. She expected them to be away before she went on holiday - the pup I was having was her own she was is keeping this one. I think she just felt that if Nathan had to deal with the other pups he would be as well dealing with her own. He is caring for her six other GSDs for a week anyway. Reading this back it just seems so petty. But I am gutted she would treat me this way Also she had s group of folks in the 'in crowd' who she txt to walk with etc. I'm not in her inner circle but desperately want to be. How sad is that!!! Lindsay and I have had a long talk about it. I am going to stop trying to be with her in crowd. I am concerned for my girls as I am happy for them to go with her to board as they love her and her pack to bits and they always come back to Me well adjusted and more like DOGS than my BABIES. She cracks up at how I baby them and points out how I feed my wee Staffys anxieties lol We have decided to sell our static. For many reasons including it being party time when we go. For my WL journey and Lindsay's health we need to stop the party weekend approach. Also we neglect the house as were away most weekends. Neglect both practically and financially. We need to update the house but all the spare cash goes on site fees Lindsay said tonight that he worries that I am Left with the responsibility of the van and a house that needs upgrading if anything happens to him!!!! EEK!! Now comments like that worry me So as I say stopped the floxitine (prosaic) last week as I'm scared it might affect any anaesthetic - I have come too during sedation in the past and been told it's because of the floxitine God girls in a bit of a mess!!!!? So sorry for the real rant. What a downer eh? Hopefully will know more about what's happening with My band a week on Friday Will stop trying to ingratiate myself to people - Will stop feeling paranoid....does anybody out there really love me ???? lol xx Oh Alfie your post came just at the right time xxx

Kirsty, you are such a lovely person and so sensitive! It must be hard..I have a don't give a monkeys attitude which helps a lot.
You don't need to be in this woman's inner circle of best bum buddies..if you aren't in it already it's probably **** and you can be in our little circle instead...people who have time to listen and be interested!
I'm glad you and Lindsay are planning ahead and looking at future decisions, it's important old folk like you take care of yourselves!!
Your band issues will be sorted, it's fate,who knows what it means right now but it's all for a reason.
Stick with your dogs, but remember they are dogs! I tell fudge he's a dog and to get on his bed and behave..no being on the furniture, no going upstairs, no human food and a regular beating!! It's a dogs life!

Kirsty sending you a big hug, it's not nice when you want to be one of the special in crowed, but it's not for you, you have your other half, your dogs and you have you. Your upset and disappointed about your band and I understand that. This was you chance to make a difference to your life. Well it has made a difference, you have changed and your happier than you were in the past. It's a blip we all hope and it can be put right I'm sure. Have you stopped the Fluoxetîne under medical supervision if not it might be an idea to speak to the duty GP or practice nurse, you may just be overacting about other times. I know a lot of people on that drug but they have never given it up before surgery, I'm not of course a medic but just wonder if your putting your self under to much strain with any need. I know you can't see the positive but I'm sure there is a good reason for this happening to you. Don't be upset about your doggy sitting maybe she didn't want to upset the pup by it going to a strange place while being unwell, and she is thinking of the comfort of the dog. I agree she could have spoken to you sooner but maybe she doesn't know just how excited you were, she may not understand your dedication to the doggy world. Try to stay calm your anxious about having the band fixed which might also be affecting how you are seeing things, stay strong my sweet.

Oh Kirsty hunni!..... Just catching up with your Diary!.. What a palaver! ... Are they sure they hit the right spot in your port and actually PUT the last 5 mil in there at the previous fill?.... Just a thought, as you never seemed to get extra restriction at the time.
Re your doggy or dodgy mate!... Blow her!... She probs didn't realise how much having pups to stay meant to you really you know!.. Re the stopping tablets, should really check with your Dr hun, I'm sure just stopping it 24 hours before an opp would probs be enough don't you think. I would hate for you to go down hill emotionally when you have such a lot on your plate right now... Why not give your GP a quick call and ask!... Thinking of you beautiful lady! X

Oh Kirsty what a nightmare all of it!!!
I agree about the doggy sitting...don't sweat it..,could just be cause the dog wasn't well, but I agree don't try to change yourself to fit into her little circle..you are fab the way you are!!!
In regards to the caravan, I think that sounds like a good thing..you and Lindsay can focus on each other without worrying about all the added pressure of up keeping he caravan..and you can always do holidays in the future to different places!!
I understand why you stopped taking your medicine..but maybe give Nuffield a ring to check if this is needed and how soon..if they do say you need an op then I would imagine it maybe a week later or so and you can plan accordingly!! Need to look after your mental health as the stress of this all and Lindsay not being a 100% will be making it worse!
I wish I had been feeling up to meeting you last night!!! We will have a good wee chat next Monday about it all! Xxx

Sorry to be prophet of doom but suddenly stopping meds in anticipation of an op (that may/may not happen?) Isn't a good idea, you will be fine for a while but will hit ground zero mood wise with a big bump in time. If the fluoxetine has affected a GA in the past they can adjust what they give you , I think you need to discuss this with a medic asap, with all else you're going through you really don't need you mood to go downhill as well. Preserve and reserve energies!
By the way I read your diary with interest, you have done so well (leaky band or not) and have a cracking sense of humour. You give inspiration to people like me at the start of their journeys. Just saying....

Hey Kirsty! I think you should know that there are quite a few on here who would like to be in your inner circle. You may underestimate how well-liked you are. You have been so kind and supportive to so many of us on here over this past year and I would like to send some of it back to you.
As for your medication - I second what has been said above and advise caution about coming off it without medical supervision. Ask one of the team before you stop taking it and if you do come off it you must do it gradually.
Sending love and hugs and wishing you well. Hope your soul-searching and decisions made bring you peace of mind xxx

It is true Kirsty, your posts are the ones I search first and you are such a lovely person.
I second what's said about stop taking floxedine suddenly. Please don't and do speak to your team. I was on anti depressants - citalopram, nobody batted an eye. They must have asked you for medicine you take, and would have made suggestions if it required to be reduced.
Good luck with your operation.
All the best x
