great news terri. xx
 
Nice one Tes. You'll have to change yer ticker now.
 
Hey Sue, not seen you about much. Hows things with you hun?

Hi, Sam,
I'm good, thanks.
Been a bit down over the last couple of weeks: been through all sorts of emotions about this procedure (no different to anyone else, I guess?!!). It seems ages since my first appointment. I was really fired up and excited about things then, but there seemed to be so many conflicting bits of information I just felt confused. The doc had said my next appointment would be my pre-op, but that didn't tie in with what others were saying - I just didn't know what to think - felt like I was going crazy!! So, I just decided to try and carry on with my research and wait (...and wait ... and wait ... and wait!!!!!!!!!! - I'm sure you know exactly what I mean). Anyway - only a few weeks now before I know what will be happening.
Also, I've just booked a fabulous mini break to Reykjavik (Iceland) for my birthday. I'm hoping to see the Northern Lights (a lifelong ambition). I'm also going Whale Watching (weather permitting) and going to see the spectacular glaciers and waterfalls. I'm really looking forward to it.
How are you hun? Excited about the job? Won't be long now, will it? xxx:hug99:
 
already done did it after phone call yesterday lol

Doh! That shows how prawn-crackered I am. lol!

I'm off to get some Hibiscrub tomorrow in readiness for Friday. I'm trying not to think about it TBH. Work is keeping me occupiued. It's total pants, but hey, at least I'm working.

We'll have to catch up again soon.
 
Well Folks...

I am leaving Minimins... A very callas and hurtful comment was made on my facebook. I didn't read too much into it to start with but my husband is furious my children asking questions and other people have messaged and phoned me asking what the meaning was they too took it as a offensive remark.

I will withdraw myself from minimins and wont burden my presence here any more this I feel is in the best interest of the group I am the new comer so I will bow out.. Natalie you have my number hun we will keep in touch and same go's for Vicky (crafygirl)

Any one else you have my facebook details if you wish to remain in touch then so be it. Otherwise it may be best to just delete yourself from my friends list... That way there will be no uncomfotableness and I know exactly where I stand...

I wont let the comment effect me and no apology or explanation has been given so there for i do read into it that the comment was mean to be as offensive as it came across.. I have experienced cliques before on other forums and was assured it wasn't like that here so i will assume that other from the person who made the comment we all remain friends...

See you on facebook other wise best of luck to every one and there surgey... i won't be returning to minimins after this post...
 
ALexa, Ive not been on facebook all day, but had to go straight over there when I saw this post from you.

I think I see which message you are referring to - and the person that posted that message is in no way malicious. I think you are reading too much in to the comment to be honest. We are all here waiting for WLS for the same reasons, and we all know how hurtful it can be when someone makes fun of our size. To be fair, you even make fun of your own size immediately before the remark you are referring to.

I hope you reconsider your decision to leave the forum as I for one have found your contribution to be helpful. However, if your decision to leave is final, then I wish you well for the future and with your weight loss journey.

Hey Sue, sorry I missed replying to this yesterday.

I know what you mean about the emotions. Its a real rollercoaster and I expect it gets even harder as we get closer to the op - and even post op. Its exciting and terrifying in equal measure.

Im very jealous of your trip to Iceland and will have my fingers crossed that you get to see the northern lights.

Im good thanks Sue, and yes, Im excited about starting my job. I keep looking round the house thinking of all the jobs I should get done while I am off work but never seem to find the energy to get on with them lol
 
Hi, John.
Great to hear from you. I, for one, would really appreciate your take on the psychological side of things. It's something I've thought quite a bit about.
How long were you off work for?

HiYa, I was off work for 6 weeks, I drive about a 1000 miles a week to customers and repair printing machine, so it can be heavy work, had it not been so, I could have easily gone back after 4 weeks.
My blog entry is up there now if your interested.:thankyou:
 
Loved your new blog entry John. Im sure it will give a lot of us food for thought.

Your weight loss is amazing btw.

Great news Terri, Teens right check with them just before, but I'm very pleased for you and wish you the best ;)
 
haha... I got the job John!

I dont start till 20th APril though, so got lots of time on my hands at the minute.
 
What's everyone up to today? Its a beautiful morning here so I think Im going to tackle some gardening (before I change my mind lol)
 
Been up since 6. Washed up, hung some laundry out, put some washing on. Caught up with emails, started to watch Jade: The Wedding an OH started to come down and take the mick so we've had a blazing row and I have switched off the TV. He now back in bed and I'm about to go into the garden myself!
 
Neil is still in bed as well. He always has a lie in on a SUnday. No such luxury for me. Ive always been an early riser and the kids wouldnt allow me a lie in anyway.

Ive been busy as well - done the washing up, run the hoover round, dropped Charl at her dads and played "restaurants" with zoe lol. Its her fave pastime at the minute as she likes to take my order on her special pad and then go off in to her little kitchen thing to make it - then stand over me while i "eat" it! Oh to be 4 again without a care in the world.
 
I can't believe whats going on here alexa is a lovely girl and I hope she comes back on here I haven't checked face book yet but if someone has offended her they could at least apologize to her were all in the same position and it's awful to think someone would have the audasity to offened her like that but anyway good news on your surgery terri I am really happy for you
