Hi all today I'm feeling a little peckish im not sure what it is or is it because Im on a late shift and back to work after my 10 day A/leave.
I had a great chat with my dietitian who called this morning to see how Im getting on. She said im doing well and to keep going.
However I'm determined not to pick any thing going for another cup of fruit tea.
Hows everyone doing on their LSD?

Well done Sharona- you are doing really well.

I am ploughing on - it feels like I have been on this LSD forever! I am maintaining the loss from the first time I did it but trying not to get hung up about what the scales say. My clothes are definitely looser and my family say they can tell I have lost weight. I am struggling with my water intake in this colder weather - trying to drink peppermint tea to compensate for that. My op is three weeks tomorrow.

[jlb5686]

well done tb! ur doing realy well. im trying not to watch the scales this week either. last week was such a big loss for me and I know it wont be the same this week so no point scale watching. 3 weeks isnt long away.
I admire all of u doing this for 4 weeks. well done x

Well done both Dawn and Susie...it's beginning to feel real now
I've been for my pre-op today - I hadn't realised it would take hours and hours. I arrived at the hospital at 2.15 and left at 6.45 !!!
They poked, prodded, measured height , legs and waist, took squillions of blood, did various swabs, I saw nurse, dietician . physio and phlebotomist - I had an ECG ,they listened to my chest and I did step ups and finally I came home...but I feel so cheated as the one thing they didn't do was to weigh me !!
mrsg74- I'm due at the Alex for 11.30 so hopefully we'll meet up there. According to the nurse Prof A has 4 names on the list on Friday afternoon and he's at the Spire Hospital in the morning so we can bump into each other then
Dawn and Susie - quick question - did you use paper briefs or take your own ? I forgot to ask today

I've just realised I got my date wrong! I'm being bypassed on Wed 26th November (fingers crossed)

I'm only due to do 2 weeks LSD (meal replacement shakes) but I tried starting yesterday - I've already fallen off the wagon. Maybe I thought it was 'ok' as not on main LSD but I'm still sooo annoyed with myself.

If I'm struggling now, how will I cope after op?!

 

[Su2ie]

Blinkin eck that was some pre op, my appointment was only 1 hour, height, weight, swabs, medical history, bloods and ecg.

I wore my own underwear though I believe some hospitals do give paper briefs. If you wear your own make sure they're not your favourites because they end up covered in iodine!!

The lsd is hard but you will get used to it.

Oh trust me you will cope post op!! Since my op on Saturday I really haven't wanted to eat at all. In fact I'm having to force myself to eat by the clock!!

LSD thoughts- wow only here could we put that headline and not raise eyebrows....
Lots of people on the ride of the LSD now..!!
I have found on the LSD food diet this week that I have detached myself a bit from food. It hasn't been a conscious decision I don't think it's just kind of happened. I am a massive comfort and emotional eater so for me to say that it's very unusual. That is in stark contrast to the first week when I did the liquid diet, food was constantly on my mind and I was picking at bits of protein then feeling down etc. My provider was happy for me to do 1 week of each and so I was lucky in that way . Treat each day as a new challenge, one day at a time is manageable.

I am feeling that reality is kicking in. I am working flat out this week. iMac my pre op isn't till Thursday at 3.30pm by the sounds of it I should take my sleeping bag ready for Friday! I've got to go in at 11.30am as well so we should def see each other at some point! Yikes!

Have a good day everyone!
