update

been back to my practice nurse weight still the same which is good but i need to try and shift a bit more before i go back to hospital
she suggested i go back on xenical again see if it will shift a bit more i am at the stage where i will try anything ......as she said at least i havnt put any on plus more as i would have done 2 years ago when things looked grim so back on the dredded tablets not back at her for 3 weeks so fingers crossed ...
celulitus has flared up again so more tablets for that as well as knee starting to lock which is causing great pain

[drylaw]

woke up this morning feeling a bit teary and scared .....have my appointment at the hospital next thursday to start the next step and think its just dawned on me that things are getting closer
not quite sure what im worried about ! mind u have to get weighed again so maybe thats what it is in case ive not lost anything not sure exactly what else they gonna want or expect from me but have to attend 6 sessions over a 12 week period before they tell me when i will get surgery

 

[miserable]

U r so close, just keep going it ll be so worth it xxx

 

[drylaw]

thanks
keep saying that to myself
keep going you're nearly there once i have been to this next meeting and i know whats the next step and what i have to do or how high i need to jump i will be fine its the unknown and the fear that they might turn me away i think is getting to me

well have been to my 1st meeting of the next stage of my journey on tier 5
had quite a lot of mixed emotions as this is the final stage of hoop jumping
i have to lose another 5 % of my excess weight which equates to 16lb and i have 12 weeks to do it in
im sure i can do this if i dont i will have another 12 weeks before they refuse me surgery so fingers crossed
i was given even more leaflets to read as well as to fill in various forms which are to be taken back in 2 weeks time
have to fill in a food and emotional diary for the next 2 weeks cant believe im so close to a new me

If you want it bad enough (and you clearly do) then 16lbs in 12 weeks will be easy. You'll manage.

All the best, Pauline.

Just aim to lose as much as you can. Utilise the whole 12 weeks. Hit it hard now , then you have room to relax a little over Xmas and then won't have much work to do in the new year

Good luck!

well been to my 2nd session and i lost 2.2kg :talk017:
to say im delighted is an under statement only another 12.1lbs to go
this session was all about what changes we need to make now and in the future as well as how to cope with them more about filling in the diary and about making small changes in things we do so that we are prepared for surgery things like

• eating at a table
• no eating and drinking at the same time
• chewing each mouthful 15 to 20 times
• put knife and fork down with each mouthful
• try reducing the size of plate gradually

oh and their last comment of the session was wait for it .........
enjoy christmas its your last at this weight .......
a few of us were near to tears at that .....
gonna try hard not to get carried away with food this year just gonna have what i want but in moderation

Pauline,

WYou are well on the journey now. I am sure you will be able to focus yourself on the new you that you can see when you lose the weight and all those things that you will be doing which you have been held back from doing because of your weight.

Kind regards,

well managed to get through christmas day without too many problems
had lots of very nice presents most had taken the sugestion of giving me money which i will keep till i have had surgery to buy things i need or other gifts but not chocolate or sweets and the very small amount i got i gave to a grateful hubby who promised not to eat them in front of me
the meal itself went without any hitches ate a little of most things so didnt go overboard just gave myself a smaller dinner plate than the rest so it looked like i had plenty on it even had a small bit of cake .
trying not too drink too much either as i am due at my 3rd session on the 29th in which i will get weighed again so hopeing for another loss

 

[helenback]

welcome and good luck with the appointment! x

 

[miserable]

Well done Pauline xxx

update on thursday appointment
went for my third appointment went to get weighed feeling quite confident as clothes were feeling looser on me when ....wham the nurse said oh....thats a shame ? what is i said ......youve put on .......what are u sure i asked
yeah 0.04kg approx 1/2lb
couldnt believe it thought id done so well over christmas no extras no chocolate practacly no drink and for what to gain to say i was dissapointed was an understatment
dont worry too much she said thats quite good really at least you never put on loads
thats all very well but i still have a target of 7.6 kg to lose and still have about 5.2kg to go with approx 6 weeks to do it in
begining to feel as though i will never get there

any ideas on what i could do to maybe give myself a boost in the weightloss dept so it shows in the scales for next appointment

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

hiya pauline, i dont think ive read all the thread but i can see you need to lose approx 11lbs in 6 wks... so thats 2lb a week, suppliment diets will help that sort of loss....slimfast,boots do their own i think,or cambridge or lighterlife will definitely help you lose that weight in the 6 weeks, they are just very harsh diets, it can be done hun, if your not wanting to do the supplimentary diets then its just to be mega strict...in the post about you 'hardly' had any chocolate and 'hardly' any booze...its going to have to be NONE to make sure you hit that target, youd be gutted to miss out on an op for a glass of wine or a fudge

im sorry if that sounds harsh, im particularly harsh on myself, i find its the only way i can control myself lol
