I need some help at the moment please!

[Bev]

Andrea, believe it or not, but you are doing really well.. you are doing most of this alone at home and I'm so glad your friend is coming to take you out.

I'd be happy to ring you every day before your op if it helps when you are at home on your own... it's tough going.

The body is an amazing thing and adjusts... you are really going to be feeling so much better come March and the better weather... that's where I would set my focus Andrea... ahead... daffodils and spring...

Thinking of you and here for you, text me anytime Angel.

Love and hugs xxx

Hello andrea,

I'm soooo pleased ur feeling better today. As your body goes into ketosis which is around day 3/4 you can feel off it especially with head aches. It's as your body uses it's last reserves and your liver takes over using it's reserves which is turn shrinks it. It's the same principle as the light life or Cambridge diet.

Sorry I have pm'd you I've been I'll myself. The upset tummy didn't subsided so I'm on only yogurts. The iron tablets have been causing my horrific upset tum. I've been going 20/30 times a day. So they've been stopped then yesterday I felt I'll so went to the docs and I have tonsillitis - great!!

I've spoken to anethetist via pre med and he's said he will assess me Sunday evening.

But funnily enough I've thought whatever will be will be. I've tried to keep myself illness free by controlling where I went and who I saw but that didn't work so I'm just going with the flow. Everythings for a reason.

Give us a pm and let me know how you get on?

Love claire xxx

Sugga make sure you drink lots of sugar free fizzy pop as this helps if you're feeling hungry too... Can you have sugar free jelly?

 

[Grace]

Hi Sugga. I'm so pleased to hear things are looking up a bit today. Hopefully you will feel even better tomorrow. Did you get all your last minute bits today pet?

Claire, I so hope your tonsilitis settles. What a horrible time to get it!

Hugs to you both,

Grace xxx

 

[sugga]

Can we have sugar free jelly????

I'm sat at frankie & bennys as my daughters at a birthday party. OMG everything smells so good.

I'm playing on my phone to distract myself and notice someone mention sugar free jelly.

I need to know now if I can have sugar free jelly

Xxxx

 

[Grace]

Claire, Sugga says not. I could but every provider's pre-op diet is a little different.

Claire i was told no yesterday by Liz...sorry love. Enjoy the party. xxx

Just caught this thread Andrea, sorry you have been feeling so rotten. Apart from feeling cold, tired & a bit spaced, I was ok, but then I was on a very strict diet before starting my pre-op anyway. What you describe is pretty typical for most people & it will ease as the days pass....I am betting those headaches are definitely due to sudden caffeine withdrawal...my friend has just had a band fitted last week & she felt exactly the same on her pre-op diet too. Hoping you feel a bit better soon xxx

 

[sugga]

Bless..thank you Angie and hoping you are still happy and enjoying your new life. xxx

 

[angie790]

Things are going slow Andrea, I'm on a bit of a stall at the minute, but I keep reminding myself that it took me ages to get so fat, so I'm not expecting to be a size 10 overnight! I am certainly much happier than I was, albeit a bit frustrated at the slowed progress recently...but on the plus side, I am doing a lot of exercise now, which I just wouldn't have been able to do before, and it certainly seems to be helping in the loose skin, bingo wings & saggy bum department...as in I don't have any yet, lol!xxxx

 

[sugga]

Great news on the saggy skin bet your so glad about that.
I hope things speed up for you soon...its frustrating for you.
Angie the protien powder that you kindly sent me..how much would i use and is it milk or water? xxxx

 

[angie790]

Are you thinking about for now, or post-op? You can use milk or water, between 200 - 400 mls depending on how thick/runny you want it, added to 25 g of protein powder. It's 99 kcals for the protein powder, then add on the calories for the type of milk you are using. Personally I thought they tasted gross with water so used milk....I found some of the flavours quite sweet so recently I have started using soya milk instead of skimmed milk & they taste so much better....less calories than skimmed milk too! If you are using them now, stick to whatever milk you have been told to drink on your pre-op diet though xxx

 

[sugga]

They are for after Angie if i need to up my protein, i just wanted to know how to use it. Ill jot the measurements down, thanks chuck xxx
