Shrinking away nicely :)
Hi all well now my funding has been approved i will def be having surgery in Jan or maybe sooner and how soon all depends on how much weight i lose.
I was told that at my weight my surgeon would only be happy to do a sleeve so i offered to lose 2/3 stone and then he said i can have a bypass :D:D:D

At the mo i am 3 days in on a low cal low carb diet of 1200 cals designed by the dietician and i am having between 100 and 1200 a day and have cut all bread out of my diet as am badly addicted to it and my next app is in 4 weeks time so i hope to of dropped at least 20lbs by then which i know i can easily do and carry on losing as much weight as poss to hopefully get my surgery quicker and to make sure i have a safer surgery and an easier recovery.
I know this has been done b4 and i was wondering if anyone would like to join me and we can support each other to lose some extra weight pre surgery, it does not matter how far u r into ur journey.
The more the merrier and all shapes and sizes welcome lmao :D:D:D:D:D
Take care all and chat soon luv Roch xxxx

Hi Roch, I'm game. I had managed to lose some weight, but true to form I have managed to put quite a lot back on. Now that my birthday has been and the celebrations, (barr a meal on Sunday), are over, I need to start eating more healthily as I don't want to be heavier than my original weigh in when I see Kath again. There is no way I want to have my surgery cancelled and the funding withdrawn!

I'm planning to up my exercise to 3x a week. At present I have only managed to attend Pilates once a week, so aqua aerobics and housework here I come. I think I will also restart my Xenical to help keep me on the straight and narrow. As Carbs and chocolates are my main downfall, I am hoping to follow a low carb high protein diet in preparation for the pre-op diet. I am no good at counting calories so will use a smaller plate for meals than I normally do. I don't know how to do the ticker thing. Have you got a preference as to which day we weigh and tell?

love

Hi Roch, I don't know when my next appointment with Kath is as I am still waiting for a psychological and cardiac appointment. I'll be seeing the dietician on Thursday and I know that she was going to speak to Kath last Thur/Friday, so fingers crossed. I would like to be at least a stone lighter when I next see her (hoping no longer than 4wks).

I have no preferance re weighing day so I think I'll make it Tue or Wed. I'll have to go to Boots to weigh as my scales change according to where on the floor I put them.

Hi Margaret and Meggie, look forward to our weekly tell and share. Thanks Roch for starting this thread and thank you for the link to the ticker. I think I might give it a try tomorrow.

All the best for this week.

Hi Rebirth
I`m not getting on the scales I`ll do a thread of what I eat and time to see how I go . Good luck girls I hope we do well . Take care .

Hi Margaret, I know. That's why I called it a tell and share. I'll weigh tomorrow so I know my starting weight and then I think I might just go by how my clothes feel and my measurements. I have a tendency to get held up on the numbers and don't want to slip into bad habits again.

Mornin girls how are we all today, and good luck rebirth and remember hun any loss is fab no matter how small it is as it all counts xxx
 
Roch, your cake pics just make me hungry everytime I see them!! Now I want cake. CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE!!!
