my hospital experience

[VikiB]

His father is quite a nice bloke as well and his mother is an angel I'm sure of it and his grandmother is the best friend I've ever had. Any one of them would move heaven and earth for me and I for them. I really do hope he says as lovely as he is now. The world will be a better place with a good man in it.
I've just realised I promised myself when I get to 200 pounds I am going to go and have my hair done as my reward (weird I'm not rewarding myself with a dinner out or some cupcakes lol) BUT I am 2 pounds from having lost 50 pounds thats worth a reward too I think. What should I reward myself with?? Ideas welcome
So far today I've managed a soft egg and a bit of milk and a coffee I'm drinking now. I don't feel too bad at the moment. I have 2 hours to decide if I'm going out today or not...I'm of two minds about it. I want to go out but I'm a very shy person and this is to meet some of the people here at a mall (I never go to the mall too many people) and I am not a great conversationalist (as in don't ever know what to say). I have no problems talking when I'm not face to face but in person all my confidence just goes and I tend to come off as stand-offish and I'm really not. I don't want to make myself not fit in with the only people I have ever fit in with....does that make sense? So I don't know if I am going to go or not...I feel fine health wise so I really have no excuse other than that.
Have a wonderful day my darlins
love you lots
PS Where has Kylie gone?? Haven't seen her in a few days.

I'm here! I have been watching Secret Diary of a Call Girl on NetFlix its really good and very funny in places! Plus my kids were off on School half term, they went back yesterday but then I had little ones play group, its all been a bit hectic! I guess Im trying not to log in too much here. I love seeing how people are doing but I'm also trying not to get my hopes up. I have started dreaming every single night about getting my Bypass and really I do expect the NHS to just ignore the MSP's complaint so I don't think I will be getting it anytime soon. I dont want to come across as a jealous grump! lol

Well today I had a nice day. I ordered loads of clothes over the half-term break from e-bay RJ and Warren (my 8 and 9 year olds) both have huge rips in all of their trouser knees. So I have just got 5 pairs of trousers delivered and another 6 to come and 6 pairs of trousers, 5t-shirts and 2 jumpers for my youngest who has way outgrown all of his 18-14month clothes! He is almost 3, so I ordered loads in a 3-4. Now everyone has lots of clothes. I even got a treat for lunch... Pizza hut (Hope that won't turn any WLS ladies crazy haha) I shared a cheesy bites with chicken and pepperoni with my OH and Malakai. It was really yummy and we haven't been in at least 6 months so it was a great treat.

Gosh I didnt mean to write quiet so much!

Vivki, have you ever checked out Groupon? They are fantasic, they do daily deals in your area and you save a huge amount of the usual selling price, like facials and massages for £15. I recently got a hair cut, conditioning treatment and blow dry for £17. It would be great treats for when you reach milestones! Huge congrats to you by the way, 50lbs is an amazing loss!

I didn't go in the end. I swear I will suck up my fears and go the next time anyone asks me!! I have got to pull myself together and get out there in the world instead of being a big chicken s**t!!! lol
Yeah I hope Melani is ok I haven't seen her for a while either. I don't think I know Sophie though. Never quite sure as I talk to so many but I do notice when Kylie, Melani, you or Ruthie are gone as I talk to you four lovelies more than anyone else.
I don't ever think you are a jealous grump and I hope you can get your surgery. Do you have any weight related health issues? Thats how I got mine. My bmi was 48 at the highest I think but I also had diabetes, 3 heart attacks previously, thyroid issues, uteran fibroids, and was thought to have cancer a couple of years back. Those added to my need for the surgery.
I don't know how anyone else feels when people say they've had pizza or McDonalds or KFC etc but it doesn't bother me in the least. My friends and daughter are always apologising for eating things I ate pre-op in front of me but I really don't want them. I think pizza smells fantastic but I just don't want to eat it. I might try to make myself a healthy version at some point but I'm not really bothered at the moment. My daughter had pizza the other day and took the box to her room so it wouldn't bother me lol.
I waited for the bus yesterday which is outside KFC and the smell of the chicken actually made me feel sick...I would have gone in before if only for a small box of popcorn chicken lol.
I'm going to check into that Groupon thing sounds like a great idea. I am also thinking of joining ebdon tours for cheap days out.
Have a great day
lots of love

Glad its not a problem! A lot of people say that their food preferences change a lot post op, so maybe its that one of the women who used this site a long time ago (i only know because i was looking through the old post-bypass food diaries) used to make her own pizza's using flour tortilla as a base. I think that could work very well and wouldn't be carb loaded but your probably not quite at that stage yet anyway! Are you still at smushy type foods?
I think as well as Groupon there is another company that does the same called wowcher? but I have never used them. My friend uses groupon a lot so she got me started with them! You do need to have access to a printer though as you pay on the day of the deal and then they e-mail you a voucher and when you book in and go for treatment you hand over your voucher as payment.
Nope, no real weight issues. On the 21st its my starve blood tests for heart checks since i found out about the family history. But no diabetes, no sleep apnea, just general overweight hip pains when I sleep and knees hurting e.t.c my doctor sort of really played down my heart concerns, shes doing the blood tests and urine but she said really didnt seem keen on anything else, like an ECG

 

[Tonibones10]

My bmi was high enough anyway at 57 but I also have polycystic ovaries which is what swung it for me, and now my iih which has just made them more certain that there right to give me the op.... melani has just posted something, but I'm worried about Sophie because he sis had her baby at like 29 weeks pregnant and she wAs telling us how well they were doing, I just hope there all ok!

I am 5 days from being able to eat real food So maybe when I do next weeks shopping I'll get some whole wheat tortillas and make myself a pizza. My tastes have changed...I don't like cake or cookies at all anymore (the smell makes me feel sick). I however really want curry though I couldn't stand the taste of it before. I eat alot of really spicy things now. Even made myself spicy butternut soup when I was in liquid stage with chilis in it...I would never have had chilis in anything before.
I hate when gps don't take you seriously. I went to one when I was still in america and complained about having chest pains and pains in my left arm and said I thought it might be a heart attack and he basically told me since I didn't have a medical degree he would diagnose me and he treated me for arthritis...3 months later I had the same thing happen again and went to hospital here and they said I had had a heart attack and furthermore had probably had two or more previously...yeah arthritis indeed.
I hope Sophie and her sister and baby are alright.

Keep at it , you're doing great xx

I count the times when I was sitting in the hospital scared to death I was dying and I'm so happy I'm still here to tell my story to you and hopefully help some along the way.

 

[Newmelani]

Hi my friend! I've missed you! I'm still not feeling too hot. I'm taking my daughter to the Dr today. She is not getting better. I'm worried she has bronchitis or pneumonia. I hope it isn't. At least we have a couple days to rest! I'll try to post again soon!

I hope shes better soon hun x Its awful when kids are ill, there is not faster way to make a parent feel completely useless

 

[VikiB]

Hi Melani
Sorry to hear your daughter is ill. I hope you and her get better soon. Its rough when you and your child are both ill at the same time. Drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest...our bodies heal when we are at rest
Lots of love

 

[VikiB]

Kylie I love your new picture...you are stunning honey

 

[PurpleKylie22]

Lol, it was meant to show what a mess my hair gets in when I leave it to dry naturally and dont straighten it! But I took it in the bath room and it was really sunny this morning so somehow it turned out a nice enough picture. My hair actually makes my face look a lot less fat.

How are you doing today Viki, did you manage to eat?

 

[VikiB]

Hi I did manage some food yesterday and drank about a litre of fluids so doing a bit better I don't feel as run down today which is a great bonus.
I'm quite p***ed off today. My idiot has found a new girl who lives in our town...though he's totally denying any wrong doing as per his usual. I'm am so not impressed! I guess it really is time for me to cash in my chips and move on now. I will not cry I will not cry I will not cry!!!

 

[Tonibones10]

Oh honey! Im glad your getting there with eating, and 1 day that "man" will have his heart ripped out by 1 of these girls, and he will have lost everything where as you will be your strong beautiful self and will have your new life keep strong honey
Loads of love Xx

I doubt that I don't think he has a heart and if he does it's three sizes too small and black!!!

 

[VikiB]

I want to warn her what she is getting herself into but can't manage that without him knowing I did it

 

[Tonibones10]

Could a friend of yours not warn her if they "by chance" see him with her , well if he has no heart 1 of them will leave him in the gutter and I hope he realises what a fantastic gorgeous wife he had, I don't understand what goes on in men's heads! Xx

Had is going to be the key word in this. I've had enough of trying to be someones everything and always ending up nothing. I hope he does end up in the gutter. Just like the two fools before him. My first husband beat me up for 9 years before I left him. He swore I would never be able to survive without him. He's an alcoholic now and can't find anyone who will stay with him more than a week or two and most of them rob him. The guy after that I was with for 9 years as well (he sold all my kids and my stuff to support his marijuana habit) he also said I wouldn't survive without him...he is a drug addict with no friends besides his druggies (who only like him when he has stuff or money to get stuff) and he sleeps rough 4 or more days a week every week hasn't had a girlfriend in 6 years. They are both sad lonely men who have both said they wish they could go back in time and stop what they did to make me walk out of their lives and they both think my current husband is a fool and have told him so.
