Slimpip's Sleeve Jan'14

[JennaMeri]

Have to enjoy those times in Life! As long as you get back the focus, as you've said, then no harm done.

 

[princess4d4]

im sure everyone of us will have a week like that just jump right back on that horse and gallop off to a good loss next week dont get downhearted

 

[Crystalrainbow]

Oh blimey gal life's to short not to have the odd treat especially at special times of the year............... see what you've achieved already that's fantastic .............. as long as your back on that horses for next week its all good x x x

 

[slimpip]

Well it's weigh in day and can't say I'm surprised to have stayed the same. Actually i'm thrilled because it really looked like I would gain haha. Oh god, still, back onto my healthy eating now and refocused, so hopefully I'll have a good loss next week (and photos on the 1st). Fingers crossed anyway.

Nothing much to report really, work is stressful and busy, one of the cats is acting a bit oddly so we are taking her to the vet on saturday (I think she has a UTI). And bar that...everything is normal lol. God I'm turning into a bore xx

 

[JennaMeri]

Staying the same is good practice for 'maintaining'! And as you're now refocusing and getting even more back on track, then good things are up for next week. And yay for photos! I keep forgetting to do those, so I have no record. Sad days.

Hope kitty is alright. One of our boys had a urinary blockage 'cause he wasn't drinking enough... that wasn't fun. Had to de-flake the inside of his bits... but he was right as rain afterwards.

 

[slimpip]

Oooh that sounds nasty. We are just googling ways to collect urine samples from multi cat households. Not easy as it goes lol. We've made a really conscious effort tonight to spend loads and loads of time playing with them and cuddling them, trying to alleviate any 'stress' just incase it's a behavioural issue, not a UTI. Anyway enough about cat wee lol.

Bring on next weeks weigh in, hopefully like I said it'll be a goodun, then I can go to the spa day next saturday really and truly deserving it xx

 

[princess4d4]

if they have dried food and not drink large amounts they get constant uti's ours did shes no drinker we changed her to wet meat and only had 1 uti since

 

[slimpip]

Hmm that's interesting. Yeah they are on dry food only, as that's the diet they've always had. Definitely something to bare in mind though!! Thanks princess xx

 

[HelenAngelfish]

My cats (Turkish Vans) had the same issue, not big drinkers, in fact never (unless cat milk) and switched to wet food. Never had the problem again xxx

Hi slimpip, I came across your diary last night. I'm from Shrewsbury and will be having my sleeve done at RSH on the 7th July. Who was your surgeon? Mine is Mr Riera (think that's correct spelling)

I'm very excited but nervous all at once! It's great to read these diaries and follow people's progress!

It sounds like your doung great, I bet your so chuffed!

X

 

[slimpip]

Helen...I think we will start them on a wet food/dry food mix so thanks for your advice

Fent...I had Mr Siggurdson but met Mr Rierra and he was lovely, very charming. Thanks for your kind words. On the whole yeah I do think it's going really well, but like with most things, I definitely have days or maybe longer where I feel I'm not doing well enough, comparing myself to others and guilting myself.

You're bound to be nervous, everyone is, but honestly you'll be fine and you have a massive resource for advice on this forum. Have fun on pre-op xxx

 

[wenny]

I no how that feel slim I feel guilty compareing my self to others I eat very little only lost a pound this week always feel I am doing something wrong what I don't no can you tell me what you eat on an average day that intrests me a lot what others are doing I think your doing fab x hi fento and welcome I had mine done at shrewsbury with mr rink my sister had hers done last week with mr rierra and shes doing great I am sure you will be fine your well looked after anything you need to no just ask x

 

[fento01]

Hi girls...lovely to speak to people who have had it done at RSH. I've read loads so feel I'm well prepared (as I can be any way). Just can't wait until the 7th July.

I've been and got a nice overnight bag for hospital and some nice new bits. So much advice on here about what to take its great!

Also I popped to tesco earlier and found a "weaning freezer tray" in the baby section which is basically an ice cube tray that holds 2oz's and each section and has individual lids!! Thought that would be great for freezing pureed 'stuff' and little portions after.

Having the girls from work round tonight (we're social workers and can demolish a lot of wine lol). Yet another last supper...got a family carvary lunch tomorrow then that's It. From Monday it's side plates, no alcohol and limited carbs.

All I can think about is what I'll look like and what kind of clothes I'll wear! I'm convinced that for the first few months (once close to target) I'll be strolling about in nowt but a thong and bra!! Just because I can ha ha...

xx

 

[slimpip]

Hey folks, well it's weigh in day tomorrow, should be an okay one I hope. But you never know, I'm due on any day now so could mess up my system. I have just been lying here looking at my weekly loss record (I have a spreadsheet...NERD) and I seem to be losing a stone every 6 weeks give or take. If that continues, even if just for 2 more months...that means that at some point in July I'll be about 16 and a half stone.

I haven't weighed that much or should I say little haha for years and years. I can't even remember. Now I know it might not happen, but it's given me a goal...to be 16st5lbs by the time I go on holiday in September...that should be very managable I think, but will keep me on track and give me a boost if I beat it. That will mean that I will have lost 6 stones in 6 months which I just think is phenomenol!!! Don't mean to blow my own trumpet there, but I guess I'm not alone in the fact that I've been overweight since I was about 10 years old, and I've never know what it's like to really succeed in weight loss.

I feel fantastic, on top of the world. Just having to fight the urge to buy clothes as my work trousers which two years ago when I last wore them (because they got too tight) are now falling off my hips near enough. But there's no point in spending money on something I won't wear for longer than a month or so. But I don't care!!!! Everybody at work is noticing, I'm getting lovely comments from my Carers etc and well...Today has been a good day. Can anyone tell?


I'll update with weigh in tomorrow XX

 

[Crystalrainbow]

Fantastic Pip hunni and you will smash your target i'm sure that will be a huge wow 6 stone in 6 months ............
Sounds like life is pretty good right now and long may it continue wishing you all the best for tomorrows weigh in x x x x

 

[slimpip]

I didn't write that very well, It'd be 6st in 6 months if i lose 1st in the next 6 weeks, then again the 6 weeks after, but clearly if I'm marking it on September it's longer lol. Either way I don't mind. Thanks Crystal, I'll be back on tomorrow. X

 

[MrsDuck]

Good luck for the weigh in tomorrow. You're so inspirational. Weight loss charts, targets, you're doing great! 6 days and counting for my sleeve! Eeeek.

Thanks for the tip on the weaning freezer trays- what a great idea, I've just ordered myself one.

[princess4d4]

[slimpip]

-4lbs...happy with that. Have lost 1lb shy of 4st now, eeeeek. Going to have another really good week this week and am determined to start exercising, I just find that starting is quie daunting as I haven't done it in so long. But I must.

Oooooh good luck Mrs Duck, bet you're so excited. What pre op diet have you done? X

 

[fento01]

Welldone Slimpip that's brilliant. I bet you feel so different in yourself already. You'll have fun buying clothes for your holiday ??? x
