Slimpip's Sleeve Jan'14

[slimpip]

Well today hasn't gone as planned at all. I was stupid. I know I was hmph. I drank a large glass of milk in quite a short amount of time and....surprise surprise, my tummy said no. I read up about it, it is due to the fact that your stomach now lets the milk go through to the intestines very quickly whereas it used to trickle through slowly and your intestines only have a certain amount of the enzyme which breaks down lactose and it basically gets overwhelmed. So that's the science, and the result - diarrhea to the maximum. It's been a rough couple of days x

Well the pie innards and swede and carrot mash went down a treat, it was so yummy! It looked like poo but tasted sooo good, which felt odd haha. That pound I need to drop is being very stubborn lol. Hopefully by tomorrow, official weigh in day?? Then I'm going to really really try to just weigh weekly. Am dog sitting for my mum again this afternoon so lots of snuggles with my pooch coming up, what a nice day x

 

[slimpip]

And who can blame me when he is thisssss cute!!?? X

Love sal xxx

 

[wenny]

aw hes lovely I love dogs sounds like your doing fab how much tea did u manage to eat ?

 

[slimpip]

Aww thanks Wenny, he is so adorable, a total softy. Of the pie innards and swede and carrot mash I managed a fair amount, was quite pleased. I'd say about 4-5t tablespoons, but very slowly. Last night I had some baked potatoe (inside only) with some cottage cheese but I couldn't wat as much of that, maybe because it's not as wet?? Not sure, but was very scrummy either way.

Two weeks ago today at roughly this time I was coming round from my op, it's weigh in day and thank goodness that pound has shifted (took 3 days...whaaaaat???) and I have officially lost 1st in the 2 weeks post op and 2st overall. Very pleased with that and away go the scales until the weekly weigh ins now, because i'm driving myself crackers. Haha, have a good day all x

 

[Crystalrainbow]

I definitely need to not weigh myself as much. It fluctuates SOOO much day to day that I drive myself insane. Congrats on your 2 st mark!! My lady (I call her that cause I don't actually know what her job title is, but she's helped me loads through this) said today that once you hit two stone lost there's two stone to go... and just keep going like that so as not to be overwhelmed by whatever your total amount is. She also said,"The more you drink, the more you shrink!" So I'm definitely going to work on drinking more and just making sure I get the protein in. happy days!!

 

[slimpip]

I like that idea of taking it in 2stone chunks, I think another 2stone will really make a big difference to my figure. So here's to the next 2stone loss which would take me to 18st5 which would be roughly the weight I was at uni, taking me back 5 years in put on weight which is quite a nice thought.

Thanks Jenna and Crystal, as always your support is very much appreciated. How have your days been? X

 

[Crystalrainbow]

great idea taking it in chunks as my old boss used to say you cant eat the whole elephant you have to take small bites!!! and loveeee the the more u drink the more u shrink lol jusy wish i could get it in lol note to self try harder lol

glad your doing well pip

 

[slimpip]

Thanks Crystal, I had my obligatory call from the bariatric nurse today, told her all was well and she was impressed with my loss so I'm happy x

 

[JennaMeri]

My day has been alright so far. It's Puppy Class night (and also happens to be testing night) so we'll see how Pup does! I haven't had hardly ANYTHING to drink. Only one mug of mocha coffee and probably 100ml NAS juice. I have noticed that it's a whole lot easier to drink things though! I can drink loads before I feel full, yet I can still only manage 2-3 teaspoons of puree. Guess that's a good thing though, as it means I 'should' drink more. We'll see how that goes. We seem to be on the same path though! You're only 9 days behind on surgery date, and only about 3lbs behind on loss. I can't wait to see how we're doing in another 5 months!!!

 

[slimpip]

Me neither hun and I really really hope we keep in touch to share our journeys. I had a slight mishap with dinner, I pureed some beef stew and had some cauliflower cheese (made soft and chewed thoroughly), and it was so nice I ate it too fast. Oh dear. I didn't throw up, just!!! But I felt like someone was stamping on my chest and it was not at all comfortable, que leaning over a bowl for 10mins. But....it went down fine and after waiting for 30mins I managed to eat some more and that sat fine. MUST EAT SLOWER DAMNIT!!!!! xx
