And so it begins...Kirsty's journey to a sleeve!!

[Debs!]

You're both really in the zone. I remember very clearly staring at the phone waiting for bookings from Walsall Manor to tell me my time has come! Mine was close to my retirement, my birthday and I cancelled a holiday to have the op as soon they offered me a date as I was so worried if I did anything wrong at all they would put me to the bottom of the list. It's been a full on year and its emotionally draining for sure. When your op comes you're beside yourself with hope and relief in bucket fulls. Understandably there is a emotional dip on the other side as the build up is so huge when it's actually done you're a bit bemused! It doesn't take long to even out hough ladies and everything just starts to slowly change and the new you falls into place. I will be routing for you xxx

Both sound like a good idea I'm making a roast beef dinner this trying to maintain is harder than I thought I've always tried to loose or put on need my appointment to hurry up feels like it's dragging lol xx

I decied on a carvery. Funny thing is i couldnt manage much not sure if its cuz iv still got a bit of an upset tummy or its because iv gotten used to eating less. I wanted to try avoid the bloated feeling and while i was eating it i was aware that i didbt need to eat everything that was on the plate usually i would even if i was full i think iv definatley started to change my habbits and life style rather than just going on a diet. This new self control i have over food makes me feel good. Enjoy your roast

Id b chuffed with 3lb i suppose its possible if i work hard this week. Well i say work hard the longer i make the changes the easier they are to stick with. Hubby treated me to a water infuser today so i can make my own natural fruit flavoured water as water is my new best friend. Im tempted to av a peek at the scales tomorrow lol xx

Can I ask where you got it from I've been spending a fortune on flavoured water 3lb is defo possible I can't say peeking at the scales all the time is wrong because I done it everyday when trying to hit my target kept me going xx

They sell loads on amazon for bout £5 but this one you can get out bhs its £10 iv seen some in tk maxx as well you can get them loads of places they are brill jus ad fruit into little pot then fill with water n leave in fridge over night is best as the longer you leave it the better it will taste. I used to weigh myself every day but been doing it a bit less lately will av a peek tomorroe tho

Jus tried to have some mushroom soup and felt full after half of it think my tummy is still a little iffy. Been round a shopping centre and retail park for a few hours this afternoon so plenty of walking lets hope this week is another good week for me with another good loss. Less than 5 weeks till my next and probably most important stage to pass on tier 4

Kirsty xx

 

[xk1rstyx]

Well i had a peak at the scales and iv lost an extra 2lb since friday so if id of waited the full 7 days to weigh myself would of been a 4lb loss. Lets hope i can keep that 2lb off till my new official weigh in on friday. Gna have my birthday meal on friday after iv had my weekly weigh in lol. Thats dedication iv postponed my bday by a day haha

 

[Debs!]

That's excellent losing! I get excited to see a 1-2 lb a week loss. I imagined with on 20% of my tummy it would drop of - but that's not to be the case for me. Keep going - you're doing well xx

A steady weight loss is best for your body debs an may help with lose skin. I was a little poorly the weekend so didnt manage much food but when i could eat i made helthy choices and small portions. I can agree its going good for me atm and it jus makes me more determined to do better. Need to lose another 8lb to hit target
