Should I Postpone my Op?

[NEDebz]

I'm at my wits end! I need to loose 3-4lbs in the next 4 days and I've been in the same situation for the last week. It's just not shifting!!!

My hospital will not under any circumstances operate if you've not reached the goals that they set.

I'm wondering if it will be best if I phone up to postpone then they'll be able to give my slot to somebody else because if I leave it until I have my pre-op and then fail my pre-op they wont be able to offer my slot to anybody else

U have waited too long to give in now hunnie!! Try the 'British Heart Foundation' diet. It's rapid weight loss for pre-op patients. Nice of you to think of others (im on the short notice list) but now is a time to put yourself first!! YOU CAN DO IT!!

Hi Don't give up. I don't know what pre op diet you are on but I have lost on average 1lb a day on the 4 pints of milk diet. Go and sit in a sauna if it helps. Just keep trying and hopefully you will get there. Good luck xx

i agree keep at it

 

[starr]

please dont cancel,its not your problem if its a late cancellation,i know your thinking someone else could be bypassed but this is your journey love,,you are allowed to be selfish, as for losing 4lb,its a case of lots of moving and very lil food ,i would detox for 3 days,just liquids, good luck,you can do it ,,,will be sayin a lil prayer for you x,,x

Thanks peeps, I'm on the milk diet (2 pints of milk, 2 yogurts & 3 pieces of fruit). I'm also going to drink copious amounts of coffee and nas in the hope it flushes my system out. Good idea about the sauna, I will be there on Friday morning......every little bit helps!!

Don't postpone, I think you have worked really hard past few weeks to get the excess off, once you begin diet properly it'll probably shift anyway.
Will see you at pre op, make sure you have the recommended fruits to keep potassium up especially if on water tablets.

Thanks everybody. For the first time this morning I weighed under what I was last time I was at hospital!!!

Did a half hour workout on the Wii this morning before work, going to do that twice a day so hopefully should shed an extra few pounds in the next two days.

Denise, breakfast is banana milkshake made with 1 banana and 1pt milk and I have a Clementine at lunchtime so think I'm getting enough potassium into my system.

I'm starting to feel a bit more positive about my appointment on Friday and I am determined to try everything possible to make sure things go ok.

Hopefully see you Friday hun.

I'm sure you'll be ok. If you do need to shift a couple of pounds though the sauna idea is a good one if you can get in before your appointment. I believe that's one of the things boxers do to make the weight at weigh ins. Remember that will only lose water weight though and it will go back as soon as you rehydrate. Good luck you'll be fine

Dont cancel Debz, you have been trying so hard, I know this from reading your 'diary'. i'm sure if you can just have the bare minimum amount of food the day before and try and do some excercise you should be o.k. Also the hospital scales may be slightly different to your home ones, I weight 2lb less on the hospital scales so you never know!!

Good luck i'm sure you will be fine.xxxx

Dont drink coffee! Just drink water.
How about taking something to make you go to the toilet (as lot) the day before you go to the hospital. Sort of a colonic irrigation effect!
I know that would help me because I am not a frequent visitor to the toilet if you know what I mean.

If your appointment in am maybe dont have a drink/food prior to appointment! Also are you constipated? If so take something for that! Good luck

 

[penguina]

Glad you are feeling more positive, keep going girl ! Positive thinking will do you the world of good. xx

 

[NEDebz]

Well appointment isn't until 1.30 but will have nothing after breakfast at 7, hopefully that will have all be digested by my appointment.

Just got weighed and am 0.3kg less than last time I was at hospital, not lot but every bit helps and I feel much more positive

 

[Jrichard]

Fingers crossed for you.
