Ohhh my aching bones!

[wizzbang]

Hi everybody.

Yesterday I went out for the first time in ages. I went to the furniture bit of the Trafford Centre for a mooch. It wasn't an enjoyable mooch!
I wore flat shoes, sandals to make sure there was no pressure on my toe joints, wore comfy clothes so I wasn't constantly tugging at them etc so all that was ok, but my goodness was it exhausting!
It brought home to me what terrible condition I am in. By the time I had been walking round (you know how you sway from hip to hip when you are browsing in shops rather than strolling) my hips were starting to ache! Then my back started! Then I was out of breath! Then my feet started! I was hobbling around like an old lady (yes I know I'm old already lol). I hobbled back to the car, I felt as though it took hours to get back to it and my partner was saying be careful you don't trip, watch where you are going, take it easy etc like I was his mum! (hes 20 years younger than me) so I wasn't particularly feeling gorgeous.
This morning I am sore all over.
I just want to have my operation and start being me again!!!!!!! I have lost me and I want me back!!!!
ps, I'm a bit upset with myself this morning for being negligent of my health this last year, you can probably tell lol.

Aww Lynne, we've all been there love... I remember struggling so much when hubby took me for a day out on my birthday last year just before I started my pre-op diet, and sobbing when I got home because I realised how unfit, unhealthy and unhappy I was. You're so close now to starting your new life ! Everything gets so much better from now on, believe me !

Hope you stop aching soon xx

Awwww i fully understand what you are going through love.
The last few times iv gone shopping since my wls the energy has drained from me and my back and legs ache like no ones business.

I see you have your wls very soon, bet it cant come quick enough for you.

Iv lost 37lb but im still aching and complaining so we still have to be patient with our weight loss after surgery.
Its not coming of quick enough for me to feel the benefit at the moment and im still achy as i said, but hopefully the day will come for us both when we can feel healthy and walk around without taking the pain with us.

Wishing you well. xxx

The last few days are an emotional time Lynne - what you're feeling right now is very normal and recognisable to all of us who've gone through the same journey. Hang on in there... and we're all here for you xx

I agree make the cuppa but hold the tears!! whats happened has happened and you cant change that and no amount of tears will either. You have made the right decision and you have taken charge of your health now so hold you head up high and think this time next week it will be over and you will be on the losers bench too xx
