My Post OP (Band) Journey 2014 onwards

[SingerMo]

Actually one of the people in my office said to the this week that she didn't think I should loss anymore weight!! I told her I am still just under 13stone and have at least another three to go. She repeated she thought I had lost enough. She is a wee skinny Minnie too. I didn't know what to make of it

Hey Sharon. I loaded up on ufit x

This is one of the reasons I'm glad I have lost a lot of weight before. I'm ready for all the back handed compliments from the peanut gallery.

I was still overweight and people were commenting "I'm worried about you, you should stop, you look gaunt" my body just needed to settle and they'd never seen me below a size 18.

I don't know where people get the idea that their opinion is desired or necessary. I get that they are not used to the new you but it's so rude and off putting.

Ooh I'm getting a bit ranty lol.

PS. Nobody ever expressed concern when I piled on the weight. At least not to my face.

True Mo...and I started losing weight before my op to avoid the comments..we are on this journey for our own reasons not to allow people to pass judgement!

Well weighed myself today....nothing!! although it was earlier than would normally weigh myself so hopefully it will show in next couple days...might be cause last week I hardly ate anything and now back normal but not to worry it will start again soon hopefully!

Dietician tonight so that be good to talk about portions etc! Xx

Mo, I never dreamed I'd ever be under 11st 7lb . It's the higher end of my BMI . 24.5 I was lead to believe that that was all I was able to achieve that fitting a 14/12 sometimes I looked good according to everyone else. If I listened to all the comments etc... I wouldn't be nearly a stone less. Fitting a 10 easily. It's crazy. Believe in the unbelievable , set your target and believe me you will achieve beyond it. I still some days wake up not believing I'm here. So many say to me, your tiny, no more etc... But I know where I'd like to be, where I need to tone up etc. What is like to look like. Don't let anyone stand in your way. People say it to think they are complimenting you but really it sets off their insecurities because they are not used to you being the skinny one and people find that hard to accept.

Keep going chick xxx

Hi everyone! That's me just away from the Nuffield! I had my dietician appointment with the lovely Luisa who says I'm doing great but advised I may not be eating enough food regularly so I'm on crust less warbuttons 1 slice with half banana for breakfast...tuna salad or chicken salad for lunch then protein, veg and if needed carb like potato still in similar muller size pot as Kirsty advised! On the whole she was delighted and was telling me that she works for the glasgow weight management so had a good conversation over it and said I made great decision for me...also gave me her number so if had any questions I could call!

Oh..she said I had to take calcium tablets and Vitiman D...in addition to my multivitamin x


She was also singing Mr Gibsons praises!

So the 2nd part of my evening and just confirms how I love the staff at Nuffield...I walk out her office and straight into MR gibson! He asks how I'm down since Saturdays defill..tell him all good so far and asks if got appt to see him..I tell him booked for the 12th nov...he tells me to grab a seat, he will take me now! Talk about service!!!

I'm so happy I didn't have to wait too long and 1st time no issues he has filled me another 2mls...so 3ml in total! I cancelled my appt for nov..but he said I'm here tomorrow so if you have any issues just to call the office!! I cannot recommend this hospital enough and also Mr Gibson..that's someone who cares about you as a patient, esp since all the money is paid and doesn't need to do that!

So I'm heading home to put all shopping I bought away and have soup lol!!

Hope everyone else is having a good day!! Xx

 

[sharon2014]

Oh and I meant to record the band is a 12ml band! So 3ml in at the moment x

Hi Sharon that's me just got some internet.

The Nuffield is fantastic. But I think your surgeon is something really special. Xx

Glad your happy with the dietitian advice xx

 

[sharon2014]

Thanks Kirsty! She was lovely and remembered you!!

I me at to write that she said I should aim for 4 cardio and 2 strength training sessions per week..so need to sort that out xx

Oh that would be good love! I don't normally get Monday's off as busiest day but could go after work or on Fridays! Let's coordinate schedules and see if we can! What gym do u go to? C

 

[Kar8858]

Hi sharon, glad you got your fill sorted...get you are kirsty heading to the gym..i must say after a hectic day at work ive no energy for the gym, a dog walk is my limit.
Your surgeon sounds great, its nice to know he is actually interested in you.

 

[kurstywursty]

Not been to a gym in a couple of years. I used to go to broad wood but the Tryst has been done up and is supposed to be fab. We could just pay as we go to see whether we like it or not. Have taken out a subscription. A couple of times and just not kept it up. I could get you no problem if we get a Friday organised

 

[sharon2014]

yeah that would be good love, pay as we go and then see how it goes! i think we need an induction first?x im happy to try the tryst x

 

[cover girl]

Hi Sharon,
Glad to hear your dietician meet went well. I agree, Mr Gibson is fab! During my surgery yesterday he detected a hernia and repaired this for me, two for one!! Lol. I'm back fir my 1st fill beginning of December, as going to Portugal at the end of November and don't want to risk a fill just before flying.
So far mostly wind pain! But I'm moving around the house trying to ease it. x
