November 2014 Surgeries

[kurstywursty]

Kirsty...I have been going through a roller coaster re my weight loss which was quick to start but is really just slimming club stuff now

I have decided if I can stop yo yo'ing and get on track, do the work on a day to day basis, I will be happy with 1.5lb or even a 1lb per week. As long as it's a constant down.

In a year that's over 50lb. I'm in the fortunate position that I no longer have that amount to loss.. I have another 35lb to loose to get to target. I can do that by my years surgery date ....

I am puffed out trying to chase the high weight losses and gaining half of it back the following week

This is not a race, it's not a sprint. My friend had a band and it took. Her two years to loss 6 stone....but she looked smaller every time I saw her and she enjoyed the whole journey..... It's for life. Does it matter if it takes us a bit longer to get there

Plus....you are very early on in your journey....once you heal and get a bit more active, you are sure to have higher losses

You will look. Back on your post in three months time and wonder what you were worried about xxxxx

Hello everyone.

I hope you are all well and recovering well. Quiet on here today. I have had a terrible day. I paid the price for over doing things yesterday. My niece came over and was going to help me get a few essential things for the move next week. We set out but within 100 yards I suddenly felt hot and then came nausea and then I was sick. So embarrassing. My niece got me back home. I had a quarter of a cup of tea. It did not help much. I got back into bed and slept a few hours. I have just tried another cup of tea and that is staying down so far. I am due back at work tomorrow. It is going to be a killer. Not sure how I am going to manage but manage I will have to. I have done no preparation for my interview on Tuesday - not that I feel there is any point given the whole thing is rigged. I feel so exhausted. Going to try and have a protein shake later and then get into bed and pray for tomorrow.

Hi ICAWM the dreaded tomato soup, same happened to me also minestrone does the same thing.

I avoided the tomato soup yesterday but stomach terrible today. Worse than yesterday :-(. So I had more tomato soup today plus a couple of mugs of hot milk and half a yoghurt drink. I felt so bad, even my husband commented. I was so sick and yuk. I'm sure I'm dumping but this happened in hospital too although I had a few ok days between hospital and this recurrence. I'm back to thinking it might be my meds (avoided them for few days as so vile) but I'm not on that much. I'll see how I go tomorrow then will call someone if needs be. TB, I a sorry that your circs are pushing you back so soon. Rest up and I hope all goes as well as it can

I must admit I sometimes forget I have a band! Then don't chew enough and think"OH YEAH!" Then start eating properly haha!

I had a mini toast (veggies chicken and Yorkshire puds) this is a side plate. But OMG eyes still bigger than my new belly hahahahhaa

Yeah I didn't think anything of it and ate at "normal" speed...only after I thought oh crap I'm prob gonna pay...but it tasted soooo good lol...oh well live and learn x

 

[vixter101]

Hi Vicky what did you eat, hope the craps ease up quickly.

I had a roast dinner (chicken, couple spoons of mash and some veg) it tasted so good I forgot, didn't use my egg timer I got sent in the post from my provider and ate it waaaayyy too quickly!!

I no longer feel sick which is good but I'm still 'going' every 10-15 mins so fed suffering from dumping but must remember to not go crazy next time!! I will chew properly and I will eat slowly!! Drinking now to try and stay hydrated!! Oh dear but never mind, mistakes happen and I'm not going to punish myself over it...just learn

Hi Vicky pleased the sickness has stopped, someone on here said to chew 40 times before swallowing. I am still on the pureed stage which is yuk.

You will feel shattered after, hope everything's ok soon.

Hi Vick I'm much better than last week but still getting dizzy spells possibly due to fact I'm not getting enough protein! Thanks for asking sweetie. Apart from your Meals and chewing etc hope all ok. Hows the constipation???? Lol x

 

[Willow4]

Hi SHARONA
Just sent you a pm

 

[Su2ie]

Hi Vick I'm much better than last week but still getting dizzy spells possibly due to fact I'm not getting enough protein!

Sharona, I had lots of dizziness in the first few weeks, my provider said it was quite common due to the very reduced calorie intake. Since I moved on to soft food, started taking my vit d/calcium and had my b12 injection this has stopped. Don't worry, just remember to take it easy and give yourself time to heal x
