November 2014 Surgeries

TB. I am so sorry to hear you are going through this awful time and wish there were some way to make all this go away fir you ((((Huggs))))
 
oh TB you poor soul, what a nightmare, I really hope things get easier for you soon. Thank you everyone for the encouragement, I was a tight size 22 when I started in October so being an easy 18 is truly magnificent. Had a great day yesterday at the pant, went out for dinner afterwards and ate a starter and kids pudding - I absolutely love eating like a slim woman. I had lost another 1lb this morning :)

Happy new year everyone

Hello all How are you all doing? I have been struggling since I was sick on Christmas Day. I ended up seeing the emergency doctor tonight having spent all afternoon trying to get in touch with my provider. It seems no one from the bariatric team was on duty and I asked if someone could be contacted but they said that would not be possible. I have had terrible acid reflux - it got to the point where even swallowing my own saliva felt like might chest was on fire. The emergency doctor prescribed fastabs and told me to double the dose and speak to someone from my team as matter of urgency, so that is what I will be doing when I get up. I have not had much in terms of food since last week because it has hurt so much to get anything down. I am so exhausted I have not been able to do much. Mr TB and I are still surrounded by boxes since the move. I can't settle in as there are so many things wrong with the work done by the contractors we may have to move out again for them to put it right. I know I have a battle on my hands over this. I am hoping I can see someone from my provider later so they can get to the bottom of the issues and the pain - it is unbearable. I wish everyone a peaceful and happy 2015. TBx

Oh so sorry to hear this TB. You are going through it arnt you. I read on here somewhere a girl who was having a similar problem, they thought she nay have ulcers?? Another thing is may be ( although not a doc) you wasn't able to progress through the food stages due to issues you may have a narrowing or stricture of the oesophagus????? Im not wishing that on you of course but just what i have learnt in my nursing many years ago . I do hope it gets sorted assp. As for your move and problems with the contractors what are they doing??? My goodness to ho through another move is awful! I do hope that 2015 is a better year for you Mr and Mrs TB much love please let us all know how you get on please xxxx

Hello all

Thank you for all your good wishes. Well I sat and had a good cry today. I went into the garage to get something and then it all just hit me like a big wave. Had a talk to my dad - asked him why he went so quickly and didn't give me the chance to say goodbye. Asked him if I had done the right thing in moving when I was losing my job - told him to look after us as the next few months are going to be rough. I hope he was listening.

So the hospital rang me early in response to all the messages I left yesterday and told me to go in. I saw the bariatric nurse, dietician and the endocrinologist who is based with the team, all together. They were very nice. I have been told to stay on the fastabs and been given a prescription for 10 weeks supply initially. I have to go back again on 16 January which is the date I was given for my first post op check. I was told I need to eat more - little and often so I need to try harder.

There is a reluctance to look again at the hernia I have but I will pursue this at the next appointment as it is giving pain. They put that down to the weight loss and say it should settle down...


I was weighed and I was shocked at how much I have lost since the op and in total if I go back to when I started my first pre op at the end of July. This is the lightest I have been for a very long time. I know I should be happy but there is just too much else going on in my life right now that this is taking a back seat - which is wrong because it is my health. So at the start of a New Year I am making some promises to myself about making time and space for me and getting my priorities right.

Happy New Year all.

TBx

With Mazza added sorry Maz x
 
hello girls, things still going well here. I have lost another 2 pounds and started with a PT at the gym. My Dad and husband seem worried I don't eat enough but the fact that the dietician has said my diet is good seems to have quietened them. Did everyone have a new year, I even drank champagne :)

Hello all

It has been very quiet on this thread - how is everyone doing?

I am still plodding on. I am still experiencing problems at night with waking up with reflux and last night I actually had to be sick. I will monitor how things go until I am back for my first proper check up on 16 January.

I am back to work tomorrow after the Christmas and New Year break. It will be the first time I have travelled from here to work so need to work out my route. It will be interesting to see how things are when I go back. Cannot say I am looking forward to it and I still need to sort out what paperwork I have to send to my solicitor who is going to deal with my claim.

My so called project manager for this place has gone very quiet. It may be to do with the huge number of emails I have sent complaining about the work here. Not really sure how we are going to work this out - but I am determined it is going to be sorted out - and sooner rather than later. Mr TB and I have been messed around enough. Time for action:D

I am supposed to be on the puree stage but have not moved much beyond liquids. My new pouch just cannot take anything heavy so I am just going to take my time with it and progress when I feel ready. When I was at the hospital last week they agreed that was the best route. I am worried about how much I am taking in nutritionally - I need to keep my protein levels up and that I am finding very hard. I am lucky if I do 500 calories a day and that is worrying me. I thought it would impact on how much weight I was losing but so far it has not. I am very tired and I really wish I could just stop and rest but there is so much to do I cannot. There are less boxes but still loads to sort out. One of my sisters has promised to come over next week and help. The weekend after that I am taking Mr TB down to London to spend the week with his mom so that will be good for him (sort of...) and it means I will get a bit of a break from caring from him to.

Well enough rambling from me. Take care all.

TBx
 
HI TB

pleased things are a little better, i couldn't take the puree phase and went from liquids straight to soft foods. My surgeon said this was fine it was the two weeks which was the most important

hope going back to work is manageable

Hi Tb glad things are looking a little bit up for you . Things will get all sorted sooner than later! I have faith they will. Best wishes with the job tomorrow its never easy when such things are going on!
Weeb great weight loss and champers?? Wow your brave ! Best wishes with rest of journey!
