Feeling bad .....

[Clo93x]

Feeling really bad right now! Haven't been on here in like 2 weeks! Happy that I've managed to lose 2lbs though!! Not really exercised just been watching what I am eating mainly as at the moment it's hard for me as I am waiting to go see a gastro specialist at the hospital so struggle with pain a lot at the moment. I have been going for walks though (helps having a pooch as that makes me go out) and hopefully soon be able to do a bit more (probably not as I seem to be getting worse not better and my appointment isn't until 3rd January! Boo!) Hope everyone has been getting closer to their goals! I can't wait to be leading a happier and healthier life!

Sounds to me like there's nothing to feel bad about. Despite needing a serious consultation, you've managed to keep walking and lose 2lb. That's quite an achievement as far as I'm concerned. Well done!

Hey Chay! Aww thank you! I have been finding it really difficult but hopefully in January they can find out what's wrong with me and then can get back on track properly. I was quite pleased when I realised I'd manage to lose 2lbs, it did cheer me up a bit

Before having real surgary for a gastric band, why not try hypnosis as they can fit you an imaginary gastric band and give you a diet to go with it as real as having the operation. Your subconcious is a powerful thing.

Hi Jackie. Post was probably a little confusing. I'm awaiting to see a gastro specialist as I've been in constant pain since August with what they thought was gallbladder but doctors can't find what it is as had a scan which showed no stones but gallbladder looked fine, so they've referred me to a specialist as it could be something to do with either liver, kidneys, pancreas or actual stomach. Sorry if post was a little misleading x

Thanks, perhaps start eating more leafy vegetable 's and stay away from any processed foods. Myself I aim for 7.000 steps a day and do not worry if it is less. I

do not give up and try again the next day. Have lost 10kg in the last 8 weeks, but in

the last week gained a pound! I am sure that I will loose this next week. My body has to settle a bit I think at the moment. I am 66 next week and have turned over a new leaf and aim to live till I am 90 years old and see my great grandchildren. I now weigh 73kg.

1.64 tall. Have a twin who now weighs 2 kg more than myself. I am now not obese, but overweight. If I am hungry I drink a glass of luke warm water and eat every 3 hours five times a day a tea plate of healthy food prepared in advance or nibble a piece of green/red pepper/cucumber/carrot, which replaces a snack.my stomach now hardly ever hurts.

I'm slowly getting used to cutting out the processed foods. I've already cut out the junk, I haven't eaten chocolate or crisps in the past 3 weeks (which I am rather proud of to be honest haha) if I feel like I need to eat something then I try snack on healthy things or I just drink water. Just hoping I can stay strict with myself over Christmas so I don't over eat on too much but I got a while to get used to this and before I know it this will be easy to stick too Good luck with your goals I hope you achieve them to become happier and healthier. Also Happy Birthday for next week! Hope you have a good day! X

Well done Clo. You sound as though you are really doing well. I know how hard it can be to give up the crisps.

[Clo93x in reply to Penel]

Thank you Penel! At times I think giving up crisps was the worst decision of my life but then I'm like no it's not it is all helping towards a happier and healthier me x

Well done on the weight loss and for getting out with your dog Its great you've made changes to your diet but remember a little bit of what you fancy does you good. I find that by allowing myself a treat (for me its chocolate) it keeps me motivated and I don't feel deprived. Hope you get answers to your gastro problem. x

[Clo93x in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for your kind words vonnyliz! My mum has said the same that a little treat won't harm but it's been good as I haven't felt like I've wanted it so haven't touched, although I did treat myself to some crisps (well pringles) today, but have been good I didn't eat the whole tube haha x

Well done on the weightloss, it's so difficult when your feeling unwell but you fighting through it! A BIG well done on the chocolate not sure I could manage that! x

[Clo93x in reply to IndieCindy]

Thank you IndieCindy! I'm finding it more difficult at the moment with being unwell but like I've said previously hopefully I find out what it is soon and it's straight forward treatment (hopefully no operation involved) but I shall have to wait and see x

Hi Clo93x,

It's great that you've lost 2 pounds, well done! Hope you get your gastro problem sorted out.

Thank you Lowcal! I feel better now I know I've lost some, always helps. Can't see it yet but it's only 2lbs so I won't but I know I have lost that so I will keep at it and then hopefully soon start seeing the changes to boost me even more! x
