A very healthy gradual loss Gail xx

You're doing amazing

 

[galm37]

Thanks Mixy

I was surprised I lost anything this week. My brother got married on Saturday & there have been several white wines & sodas over the weekend, so I'm very pleased.

It's amazing how many people have told me to stop loosing weight now! I've still got 4 stones to go before I'm a healthy BMI and don't look slim (may be slimmer!), I'm sure people say that to try and make you feel better, but they must be able to see that I'm still well over weight.

 

[Mixman]

I think the psychological scars will take a long time to heal.

I still think I'm very overweight, others tell me I don't look 17 stone. But I've had years of self conscious! Probably like a lot of people here.

It may even have to be we have to have some sort of counselling before we finally accept we are in the bracket 'normal' weight (Which I think is a horrid term!)

 

[galm37]

Well another 2 lbs gone, that now takes me to less weight to loose than I've already lost!!!!!

52lbs down - 51lbs to go,:girlpower:

 

[dreamofbeingslim]

Fantastic well done.

 

[POPPET]

Well done -over half way is fab
Your weekly weight-loss chart continues to look amazing-
bet the inches are going down nicely too

 

[galm37]

Thanks Poppet, I'm a 16's bottom now, but the boob area seems to have trouble shifting!

I've come to terms that my journey will see me loosing 2lbs a week and will not see the big losses I had in the early weeks, but hopefully this will mean that my skin strinks with me lol.

4 lbs this week (must be because I've been ill!)

 

[dreamofbeingslim]

Sorry to hear you have been ill but well done on the weight loss.

 

[galm37]

Thanks Sharon

It's nothing serious, my painkillers have for some reason decided to have a funny reaction with me this week. I don't know why, I've been taking them for 3.5 years - perhaps it's the weight loss, theres less of me for them to get around now! lol

 

[dottychic]

Well done on the weight loss Gail!
You were right about the one stop clinic, I was there for 4 and a half hours! It was a bit of a shambles tbh, I don't think it was very well run. I have to see the psychologist, which I was really annoyed about as Ive been waiting since Oct doing nothing and I could have already been! My daughter said she thinks Dr New said I'm on the 18 week countdown already, but Im not sure if I have to see the psychologist 1st! He also said he wanted me start Iron tablets straight away to prepare for the surgery, but no-one gave me any or a prescription Hey ho, I will get there, maybe next lifetime lol :sigh:

 

[galm37]

Hi Jacqui

Phone Gill (Mr Ammori's sec) and ask her to chase the psychologist appointment. They take forever and if you keep contacting them you might get a cancellation or earlier app.

Yeh, my one stop was a bit of a shambles too, staff arriving late, equipment not working etc. Thankfully the surgical team are fab!

Ask your GP for the iron tabs, they should be able to give them to you without the hospitals request.

Good luck, let me know how you get on x

 

[dottychic]

Thanks for the advice Gail, I will phone her and let you know how I get on X
