Liz,
You haven't offended anyone - well you haven't offended me!

I can't look to anyone else in respect to WLS. I have to work with the tool I have. I intend on succeeding. My will power is best when I'm exercising and feel as though I'm making progress with the scales. I actually look forward to eating little and feeling full ... strange uh?!

What kind of eater am I?! Well I thought I was a 3-meals (large) a day person .... with a few snacks in between. Truthfully I dunno. What I do know is that I can do without chocolate (I don't like it all that much) and sweet stuff. I think I crave savoury carbs; crackers, rice, bread.

Anyway thanks for your post .... don't worry your head. I've been keeping away from this site because I'm tired of my head being mixed up by all the stories I keep reading (not blaming anyone but myself here) which only serve to feed my latent indecisiveness.

Anyway good luck with your bypass request. Will you qualify? Aren't you too light to have a bypass?

Ciao. x

Take care & look after yourself x

CC thats good as i dont like offending people x

the feeling full off little is a slow process thats built up with the fill process it doesnt happen instantly but when it does its good.

im also a savoury eater, i do have a little choc now and then but i can do with out it, theres lots of easter eggs here and ive had none, i was a burger, and pastry eater, pizza was my biggest down fall.

if i was a new patient then NO i wouldnt qualify on the bmi factor, but its revisional surgery for the 3rd time so they are taking my request seriously i will get a decision soon hopefully. if they say no i will just have to accept it.

 

[cah-ching]

Cah-ching i think Fitz comment was spot on!

One day at a time....... We should all use that in our lives when things are a little tough, look at the smaller picture, small steps and you've soon walked a long way....

If i dont see you on here before your op, then all the very best of luck to you, i look forward to seeing your losses xxx

Lovely words PM! Thank you :hug99:

I'm keeping away from here a bit just so I don't get overly nervous or worry about whether I'm doing the right thing.

I'll be back before the op!

Fingers crossed eh Liz!

As for me ... I'm not too worried about the restriction in as much as I am happy to hit my sweetspot when I do. I'm not in any rush to lose, so long as I lose - if you get my meaning? lol.

Slap me or remind me of my words if I dare to come on here whinging about not losing 2 stones 3 weeks post op or something lol. I know I will, so just remind me or slap me - your choice lol.

Hi All,

Sorry for going AWOL, as I may have said earlier I'm staying away so as not to feed my angst.

Right now, the pre-op diet is crucifying me. I'm suffering badly with a churning stomach, diarrhoea and stinky flatulence. I really couldn't wait for today to come so I could go to the supermarket and purchase some lactose free milk - hopefully I'll feel better from now on in.

I know I promised I'd not weight myself, but I did this morning out of curiousity - I've gained 4Ibs :cry:. My nipples are super tender that means my TOTM is due at some point while I'm on the operating table (Saturday) .... I gain weight just before my TOTM so I'm really worried about the whole liver shrinking thing. I don't think it's shrunk I truly don't I've struggled the 6 or so days especially with the tummy upset - making me fed-up and full of cravings for foods I haven't consumed in months. Had a few prawns and some tuna just to eat something solid, but I am thinking Mr. Khan is going to slit me open like a fish on Saturday :cry: - my own fault I know. It's too late now - just the thought of a dirty great big keloid running from my breasts to my tummy button upsets me - please bare with me, I'm not looking for sympathy, just some empathy.

Anyway .... over and out xx

 

[XlosingitX]

aww cc xx.. i remember you saying before that mr khan can do the op even if you dont do the liver shrinking diet?..or was that the hospital group doc?.

you still have 4 full days left enough to shrink a liver , take care of you cc and for what its worth i really think your doing the best thing having wls ..

all the best x

EIther way thank you for being so kind. You know I can't remember myself - I was only running through those thoughts in my mind yesterday (as I sat on the loo [not for a pee] for the 11th time!).

Well I'm doing my best. Thank you for taking the time out to post and most of all, thank you for being totally frank and honest with me about WLS - I spent far too long damaging myself mentally with CD uh?!

:hug99:

CC xxx

 

[XlosingitX]

He also explained that I would benefit on losing around 5kg's before surgery to shrink the my liver, however it wasn't overly important and he'd operate anyway - I think he thought I was in good shape - so no specified pre-op diet for me. However I will continue with my exercise regime and make a conscious decision to cut down on carbs etc. to get the ol glycogen out of my system.


just incase it puts yr mind at ease a little ive found the post you wrote...x

as for me doing really bad and lookin into wls

LOL! Thanks for this!!!! Puts my mind at ease !

I really hope you get WLS funding. I don't know much about you (except you usually post at night ), but I know you're a lovely person who's ALWAYS supported me (was it you who suggested Weight Watchers? lol ) and been kind to me over on the other site. I've always kept an eye on your stats (just never told you) and I always wondered about how you were getting on.

I know (and I guess you do too from my ramblings) that CD made me feel nigh on worthless and a complete failure in life. In some ways I still am, but I'm trying to lift myself up from off the floor. I understand what it is like to struggle - I have for many years .... only to find myself knocking on the door of 23St something I thought I'd never be. I actually see myself as very fat now, I didn't before, I could look in the mirror and see a large person, but not a huge fat one like I do now. My self-esteem is very low most days (although I am a master at hiding that well and with ease) - I know I can't carry on like this.

I hope you do get funding ..... it aint nice when it aint good - I feel your pain honey :hug99:.

Take care and I pray I make it through on Saturday so I can cheer you on when it's your turn. xxx

 

[XlosingitX]

no that was helen g lol !


you will make it cc,promise.

nightnightxx

 

[cah-ching]

NightNight to you too

 

[XlosingitX]

just been thinking if you really really cant do the milk diet ect ,what about eating pure protein and 10 grms of carbs a day till saturday i did that once trying to get into ketosis for cd . by the third morning i was in ketosis and i was having 20 grms of carbs a day you could have

unlimted :

boiled eggs, omlette,and any other egg delight !
roast chicken
porn chops
cheeder chease
other proteins (minds gone blank)

and make a salad of shredded lettice cucumber with full fat mayo . mushrooms are very very low carb also suger free jelly with full fat areosol cream can be really nice , basicly atkins style u could look at minimims atkins threads ,its not something i could have done forever but for 4 days you could defoe do it with ease i know you like your meats ( even walnuts are low ) just dont go over 20 grms of carbs a day if you want to be double sure 10 grms , with the effort you have been putting last week im sure you will have shrank it a little and then this things will be ok .


take care of you x

 

[cah-ching]

Good Morning,

If I knew you'd be up so early I would've logged on. I've been awake for hours (I didn't get to sleep until around 4am!).

Sounds like a plan, in fact it sound very much like my alternative pre-op diet. I just don't like doing it as I worry about portions. The milkshake is much easier. I've got some lactose free milk now so that may well do the trick. Also I am not the world's biggest lover of meat .... although I've never tried porn chop .... prey tell what does that taste like?

Anyway .... thanks for popping in again, I really do appreciate your help. xxxxxx :hug99:

 

[XlosingitX]

porn chop ! i really said that too lol .

try to be strong next few days ,get into a good book ..or better still let the lovley hope lock you away till sat morning im sure things are going to get much brighter for you after wls xx

No no! Hope has some lovely plans for the next few days and I have enough on my plate. I shan't be going anywhere near Hope's house.

I may occupy my time with a Porn chop! :giggle:

 

[CCPM]

I think a good porn chop is just the ticket for these last few days.

Now me dear its time to just chill on down. The op is not too bad at all and he'll do the job regardless I'm sure. Weight loss is really not the issue its the loss of the gylogen store from the liver which will have started give what you've eaten. Mr Khan is a very skilful chap by the osund of it and he'll be used to working round obstacles I'm sure.

I'll be holding you to the not moaning when you haven't lost 3 stones in the first week. But you can be sure we all did it to some extent. Not sure that bander get the immediate weight loss effect as I think it involves time waiting for the band to get a fill - you'll know more than me as I never considered a band so know nothing about it at all.


Whatever CC this is a new beginning for you. being fat can make you feel worthless we will all need to get behind you and help you rebuild that confidence as you deserve to and to move forward.

Best of luck if you're not about before the day but if you are see you then

M
