Hi everyone it weigh in day and this week Iv lost 2 lb taking me to 14.1 glad all ur new clothes fitted wencho it makes it all worth it wow Charlie your well on your way now as the nurse appointment was the longest one we all waited for and normally your surgeon appointment is around 3 months after it. Not be long for your op x

Suzie I managed another 2lbs this week taking me to 13st 4lbs.
Been to see doc & he's signed me off work for another month. My wounds aren't healing and he's worried. It might be because of my immune system with my disability etc but not a happy rabbit. They are really wide and the scars are going to be nasty. On the bright side they strengthen my case for a tuck if I ever need one lol.
xx

 

[minxtress]

Ooh that's handy to know il do that when I have a few weeks left too. First session tomorrow so still a way to go mind!

Well done on the 2 lb sorry to hear about your scars at least you have managed to get another 4 weeks to help you recover. I'm just waiting for the glue to come off my last scar but going to have a big hole on that one as it's deep and wide all others healing brill. So true about helping with funding for plastics Iv changed my mind on plastics I said no more ops but now definitely want my boobs done lol I'm ok with a flabby belly I'm too much of a wimp for that one. First day of soft foods for us yey so far so good melts crackers went down great and omelette for tea yum yum. How have you managed on soft food ? X

i was never given a weight loss target at any of my apps and that worried me to death thinking i might not have lost enuf....the dietician app was when i relised id finally done enuf as its her final input that decides surgery as she knows if ur able to handle the small amount of food afterwards without sinking into a deep depression over it....after nurse Thts ya final app b4 surgeon app where he will tell u yes or no....if yes then.u have anutha dietician app for pre op diet and a pharmacist app for any meds and ya pre op ass so still a few apps to keep u on ya toes and help u stick to losing.....good luck....Itl b the best thing uve Eva done!!! xxx

Hi as long as you've managed to loose some weight in weight management shouldn't think it should be a problem. But surgeon gets a report of them so when there give it your all exercise wise. When given your target off nurse you have to loose this amount or he will not operate. Then this is the hard part every appointment make sure your under you previous weight and do not put a single pound on as he will not operate, they weigh you at each appointment including pre op and even the day before op. It's hard work but so worth it I weighed every day through this period to keep a close eye on my weight if I went up a few pounds I was straight on weight watchers to get it off. Once you have a date it will give you some thing to aim for and as wencho says plenty of appointment at the end to keep you on the straight and narrow, weight wise lol. X
