I there not sure if this will work as lost last one somehow????
I'm pre op and see the consultant for the first time tomorrow. Got everything crossed apart from my eyes and will be heartbroken if he says no because I have put on weight and not lost it. I'm hashimoto's as well as mobility problems and totally sick of being this size. Glad I found this site as hoping it will help.

Well didn't actually get to see the surgeon today at all. My nurse is wonderful and rather than have me waiting due to over run came and saw me herself. Top and bottom of it is that they gave me a goal of 7kg to lose in 3 months before they will go any further. Not a good day but defo not too bad if I can lose it. Would help mega though if I was told what I can eat instead of what I can't because I don't eat many sweet things and have given up pastries crisps and biscuits since Christmas Day and not lost a thing. To make matters worse my hair starting to fall out more due to thyroids having a flip and feeling mega tired. Done a 300 mile round trip today so should be falling asleep but I can't hope tomorrow's a better day coz going to ring dietitian see if they have any food lists.

Oh dear sounds like you really had a long day... But at least you saw the nurse and got some kind of news... It seems madness when they set us weightloss goals when we find diets near on impossible ...

Really hope the next 3 months give you the results you need x x x x

Thankyou for your kind words. My daughter decided that she would start with me today so that I wasn't alone. It really does make a difference even just visiting this site. I thought being on my own in this area was going to be a problem but with help from my daughter and the people on here I feel I can do this.
