You do write very readable posts magic. I'm glad that picking at the kids food is calorie free as I've just eaten 3 jelly sweets! (yum yum) :17729:Hi guys! sorry was mid way through an entry ydy but dad came over and got distracted.
So the shoulder pain is virtually gone..hurray! still windy though but its a lot more bearable. ydy was day 4 so i changed my dressing. but above my stitches is some kind of steribandages.... not sure if im meant to peel them off or leave them. did just put another dressing on top of them. got hubby to do all this as im a big woos. when i saw one of the stitches i felt so unwell!! seriously sick and lightheaded! also might be due to the slimfast which i drank a bit quickly. had a hungry day ydy, but didnt manage much though. tried slimfast in the morning but chucked half as it was gross. tried it in the evening and again only drank half (but a bit quick) ...i lurrve choc slimfast but have gone so off it. makes me hurl the thought of it...so weird!
im so sick of the liquid diet as well its dull! i dont like yoghurts, soups are boring and i want to chew! want a chicken kebab so badly. was so difficult ydy when the kids had fish fingers and i couldnt hoover up the calorie free p) leftovers...and then spag bol....om nom nom...looked divine!!
having hot choc for breky...not the low cal one as im sick of saccarine! normal cadburys nom nom one....my caLORIE intake is so low it doesnt really matter i figure, plus im being naughty and checking my weight every day and it is coming down slowly..woop!
did a tesco shop last night for today, got prune juice and senakot arriving today...joy! haha... did manage a number 2..but was fairly constipated. so will try these things.
so far clothes wise things are still tight, just my face has come down...but im sure things will get better. spoke to bariatric nurse and she said that when i go onto mushies expect my weight to plateau! oh no!! oh well....first fill was meant to be 3rd june, but the kids are on half term so i asked for the week after, whish means 10th june. its not done with xray. instead they stick the needle in the port and make u sit up and drink water until u feel u have adequate restriction. weird!!
have review with bariatric nurse in london on 10th may (i think i got one of these dates wrong, will check calendar later!) just to see how things are going, will be on mushies that week (FINALLY!!!!)
still am feeling really light headed in general and not right. glad its the holidays so can get rest. although friends have decided to keep calling and texting this holiday to catch up and do stuff!! so annoying. did speak to one saying youngest poorly and i not well. will have to text sorry as they are meeting up in the park today and havent got the energy.... arrgh...keeping the band quiet is hard work but its gotta be done. in the asian community especially its still seen as not normal...and a few of them are asians, and then its always the way that news like that spreads like wildfire! just my face has shrunk so i doubt anyone will notice, if they do i just say i was in a diet then got unwell now sticking to diet!!
LOVE the diagram! Did you go to art school? heehee!let me draw u a diagram....cos im bored:
ok.... i wish i was that skinny....more like the flab bulges over the bra bit. hair looks a mess and i lied....evans shoes arent sexy. sorry. anyways incision is between boobs and belly button and according to the bariatric nurses the port is to the bottom right of the incision.... will find out soon i guess....defo cant feel it. they said they try put it in the middle more as when u lose weight (oh to dream!) u always have a layer of flab around ur middle...so its the best place apparently?!
So today i had an appt with doc as husband said i was yellow and she thought that was a kidney problem. doc didnt think i looked yellow but told me to have bloods done anyways...which i prob wont get to do till tues... i cba...so bad right..but if he didnt think im yellow then whats the point. have been brushing my tounge like a maniac as well since i acquired a new plush white carpet....muchos GROSS!
So still on the BORRRRRING liquid bit...only plus side is u lose a lot of weight on it. i dread to think what ill be like when on mushies/food. like a normal diet cycle...starve then go mad.... will i resist?!? i hope so!
shoulder pain has flared up since last night when i took a senakot tablet. baaaaaaad idea! got mega stuck. luck i got this forum. Chaching is a sweetheart and told me to drink something hot. so ordered a lush hot choc which did help. senakot did sod all if u are wondering.
band is still a little sore.... generally i do FEEL it...iykwim. its early days so i guess thats why. was saying to GP today that still feel tired and lightheaded, and he was like yeah well u might have a small incsion but u have had major surgery and it will take 3-6months to recover. he then incorrectly showed me what had happened to me (he drew a stomach -that he got right! but he placed the band right in the middle!! silly doctor!!)
feeling a bit happier today.... as tried on some indian clothes i wear to my inlaws on the weekends and boy was i struggling with them (no evans in the indian clothes market....u just get them stitched to ur size but i was depressed with my size so wasnt buying anything new.... whatever u buy new when u r big still looks crap!)...anyways was a tad less snug! hurrah!!!
saw someone i saw about a year ago....she said i looked bigger!! haha...any other time id be so sad but i genuinely laughed it off! so weird having the band u feel like...its cool im gonna lose the weight so i can laugh at my OLD fat self....even though im still fat! weird!
one week tomorrow...2 weeks till normality and chewing can start beginning!!
I also have a white shagpile on my tongue....lush.ahhh thanks karen....and u write very helpful posts!
im exactly like that, hate the liquids am desperate for FOOD! but i reckon once i start i will eat like a maniac and i worry i will never really shift the weight. i reckon i will pile it all back on when i come off liquids. am annoyed and tired. my tounge has gone nasty white, its gross. also gone a nasty shade of yellow and feeling shattered. stitches have been sore today .... regretting it a little bit today but then i know i couldnt do it on another DIET.
meh...feeling a bit lost and fed up...clothes are still snug and i just look a state and feel a state. oh my face is slimmer...joy...like that doesnt happen in the first few dates of every diet i do!
