Baking cakes atm as my little girl is poorly so cheers her up doing chocolate orange pumpkin cakes will post a pic if they turn out ok. I wont b eating any tho lol

Im actually looking forward to the pre op diet strange aint i. I know its going to b tough tho an will have to stay strong mentally. I think its the excitement of knowing that the pre op diet means surgery is here. I hold my hands up i had a mc flurry tonight when my family had maccys for tea. I had soup lol so i suppose it could of been worse i could of gone for the big mac instead. I think iv managed 3 litres of watet today which is probably a record for me. My next weigh in is friday as iv changed the day im not expecting a massive loss as will only have been 5day but im hoping for atleast 1lb. Im going to try do some walking or exercise this week even if its jus walking round a shopping centre its still exercise. See if that helps as iv pretty much mastered the food now so need to add in the exercise. iv been getting terrible migraines i think its a side effect of my new medication for arthriris may have to go back to gp see what he says. Have you heard anything from hospital yet Kirsty xx

Hi Kirsty never mind about the mc flurry we all have our slip ups now and again keep up with the hard work n am sure the results will show on Friday I got a letter from hospital yesterday was really excited opening it sad I know but was just about what happened at last appointment but hoping my next appointment won't be far behind once I get that letter I will have a pretty good idea when my op will be exciting stuff lol xx

Not sad at all when im waiting for appointments i get excited jus hearing the letter box lol its the main focus in our lives atm its understandable we get so anxious waiting. I wish i was as close as u are to surgery but im sure i wont b far behind you. I will have a better idea once i see the psychiatrist in november only 5 weeks and 2 days away. Im still doing ok on diet stange thing is iv found by resucing my portion sizes and eating regular during the day i cant usually finish my evening meals. I eat way less than i used to and im not always starving and even better im not allowing myself to get over full either cuz i hate that feeling. Im definatley listening to my body more

I came home yesterday to check post and nothing was there lol I really didn't think I was this close I was expecting beginning of next year at the least it really hasn't been that long considering I waited from January to march just for my seminar was a long wait because I got my appointment from gp there and then was soo long lol the last appointment I got through was only for 2 weeks later normally is 8 weeks or so I really feel I'm at the important stages now never felt real till last appointment why don't you ring appointment line and see if any of your appointments can be brought forward you might get a cancelation it helps cutting weeks off your wait I know how you feel I was always one of the ones on here who was just starting out always remember writing I was just at the beginning of my journey feels like 5 mins ago and still felt like that till last week is this the time you've got 3 months to hit your target and is your appointment longer than the 3 months xx

 

[minnieme62]

Hi Kirsty I have good news I have my appointment for my endoscopy not long things defo speed up towards the end xx

Hi Kirsty I have good news I have my appointment for my endoscopy not long things defo speed up towards the end xx

When is your appointment. I was given 8 weeks to meet target for my next appointment i would try for a cancellation but im not at my target so i need the 5 weeks to get to target so im happy to wait for this one. It didnt feel real to me until seminar then it hit me. This us going to happen and will b early next year i think.
My gp referred me in may and had to wait till mid september for first appointment which seemed ages but now times going really fast and i think my op will b alot sooner than i expected. They said as im healthy in general i wont need any extra appointments or test so should get away with 4 appointments which is the minimum. I think iv been lucky so far the only hoop iv got to jump through is losing a stone which isnt much to ask considering what they are offering me in return. As soon as i hit my target i will start pushing to get things moving as fast as i can. It scares me tho knowing im actually going to get the op. Cant imagine how my life will b post op.

My appointment is 3rd November so could be a possibility that I will have surgery within 8 weeks I need to stop worrying that summit is going to go wrong any idea how I can do that lol yes I wasn't bothered about moving my appointment forward when I was trying to reach my weigh loss target I've only ever changed one appointment because the time was to early for my to get there and they give me an earlier date the months fly in so it goes so quick anyway I never thought in a million years I would be lucky enough to have this operation xx

Wow thats close u cant imagine how your feeling. Nothing is going to go wrong your almost there the end of a long battle and the start of a new journey. We are very lucky to be getting the operations i never even considered it until b gp mentioned and if it wasnt for him i wouldnt b getting it. He is amazing. Im terrified i wont get to my target for the last 12 months iv found it almost impossible to lose weight an keep it off. I am determined this time tho. I know the only thing that could stop me getting my operation is myself. I need to believe i can and will do this. Im anxious to weigh myself friday. Im hoping to av lost 1lb. I need to lose every week to stand a chance of getting any where near my target. We can do this and we will support each other through it. Youve really helped me this last week or 2. Where abouts are you from?

I can see why your worried after what youve been through before. Are you going to b awake for this one? I was naughty an had a peek at the scales this morning its looking good for me losing that 1lb u was hoping. It will b the first time in ages iv lost 2 weeks in a row. I usually lose one week the put on then spend the next week losong what i regained. An endless battle where ultimatley my weight stays the same. Lets hope my hard work and dedication keeps paying off and encourages me to keep at it.

Thanks lisa, my head really is in a good place and the new self control i have over food is amazing. My husband keeps telling me how proud he is of me and my determination. I want this so bad and i know the psychiatrist is going to be my biggest hurlde but i think if i keep going the way i am and hit me target he will have no reason not to sign me off. Iv listened to the dietician an i actually have changed my habbits and iv constantly got a water bottlin in my hand sipping my way through about 2 litres of water a day.
your guys kinds words, support and praise is really helping me through this i cant thank you all enough.
