Red head arrives at Gatwick at last.

[ladylite]

Well girlies I am back, had a fab time, just on here for a quick update as I have so much to tell you and dont wanna miss a thing and I am still catching up with the travelling.

We had a very delayed journey which included us being diverted from Gatwick for some reason, and we had to fly to Stanstead for refueling and then flew back to Gatwick - dont ask me why?????? The overall journey which should of taken approx 9 hours took us 12 hours, what with the baggage handlers on a go slow at the airport.

I have lots of photos I need to download to photobucket first, I ate and drank plenty but the good news is I managed to lose 1/4lb, which is a miracle.

The best thing of all was I felt a MILLION DOLLARS and even got my tummy out and wore a bikini

The op no way affected me drinking - sorry I hope my dr doesnt read this, but eating was controlled which I loved it was so nice to eat like a rabbit.

Episode 2 later.

PS I hope all the new oppers are all ok and I will try and catch up over the next few days.

Welcome Back x

Hi Mary and glad you are back xxx

After a very early start we set off to Gatwick. The first part was getting on the plane and finding that the tray went down easily, the seat belt also did up and I wasnt crammed in like a sardine, and this was just the start.

I was worried about how the food was gonna affect me but by choosing the right stuff everything panned out fine. We were lucky that our room was near the restaurant and the pool, so there were no accidents..... LOL

I did water aerobics almost everyday

I am the one with the red hair, and every morning after breakfast we sat at the pool bar and watched this delicious young man doing yoga.

I did try to get him into my case on the homeward journey but he didnt quite fit.

I wore a bikini for the first time in 30 years.

and even showed my bare white tummy, which really helped my tiny scars.

I actually had the courage to ride a camel

but the best bit was I rode an Arab mare up the main high street of Hurgarda after midnight....... I believe there was a bit of dutch courage involved.

I had plenty of offers of marriage but none had enough camels and my OH turned them all down as he wanted to keep me.

On no occasion did I have to worry what I was gonna wear cause everything fitted and the choice was easy.

For the first time ever I have come back from holiday with weightloss.

This op has changed my life, I did indulge quite excessively in booze and am convinced that if I had curbed my tendancy I would have lost about 7lbs, but I was very good with my meals and it was good to feel in control all the time.

I am so refreshed, I think I want to start riding again, and may even go to the gym.

On the last day we treated ourselves to a 2 hour pampering session which was really fab. It included steam room, body scrub, all over mud pack, sauna, massage and jacuzzie. Something I would definately recommend and something I would not have fancied before as I would not have wanted all the attendants looking at my body.

I am happy to be home but miss the lovely balmy warm weather....... but then there is always next year to look forward to.
