Ok so have not been on here for a while, well not since my holiday in August/sept. So gained half a stone on hols and have maintained since then bit really need to at least try and get back on it properly.

I want to get back to doing 100% days starting tomorrow. Only problem I have is I am due an operation on the 26 nov and am not sure what the recovery time will be or what/how long I may need painkillers afterwards. I know when taking painkillers I need to be eating to line my stomach as due to my past history with stomach related problems it's just not worth the risk to not eat.

Am basically posting in the hope this will at least give me the boost that I need to not fail as you will all know my pledge lol.

Anyway hope everyone else is doing well and losing those pesky pounds Xx
 
Hi slim! Well done on getting to goal, I'm sure it won't take you long to lose the half a stone you put on. If you're having surgery on 26th I would check with your doc about being in ketosis plus you'll need your strength to heal. If you're worried about painkillers have you tried omoprazole (spelling might be dodgy?) It's one a day and it helps protect the stomach lining. Ask your GP, it worked for me. Good luck with your plan.

Hi angel

Yes I spent rather a long time on omaprazole over the past few years. I've had gall bladder removal, pancreatitis, liver dysfunction and now a hiatus hernia (under the scar from gall bladder removal)!

Just feeling the blubbery jelly belly is back lately as not really been able to exercise cause of high risk hernia and haven't really been eating too well since hols. Amazed I've not gained since hols!

I had already planned to get back on it till Xmas from today as had my daughter 18th celebrations over the weekend. But then get my op date through last week so has kind of messed up my plans Grrr!

Oh well shall see if I can actually get back on an first huh? Lol xx
 
Argh ok so it's worse than I thought and most probably due to the amount of eating put and cocktails over the weekend.
Restart wi is 12.7.4, so far to get to the 11's!
Oh well enough to keep me on track hopefully x
 
Welcome back Natalie, good luck this week & roll on ketosis x
 
Thanks susie

Day one over with, glugged loads but still have banging headache. Am hoping it will be gone by morning. Already looking forward to 1st weeks wi lol x
 
The horrid headache :sigh:, hopefully it wont be around for long. WI will make it all worth it x

Thankfully headache only lingered for around 3 days susie.
After reading some other posts though I've realised I haven't had that horrible Metallicy taste in my mouth I usually get when in ketosis. Am slightly worried in case this means I'm not in??
I am on day 5 of 100% so can't see why not and I suppose Mondays weigh in will tell.

Have my 2 nephews joint birthday party sun so this will be my main test this week because of all the party food (am a sucker for nibbles)!

Did well yesterday though as took kids in town for lights switch on, went macci ds and I had a coffee.
Is funny how when your not eating you pay more attention to how other do eat, not a pretty sight that's for sure lol x

LOL. I think you notice the noise people make as the are chewing too.

You should be in ketosis by now I would have thought. If not it wont be far away x

Eugh susie seriously it was quite disgusting. Similar feeling to being the sober one on a night out lol.

I do hope I am In ketosis. Tummy is rumbling well that's for sure and being on it brought my monthlies 3 days earlier too!
Although I started at 12.7 on mon I was 12.4 on the fri but went out sat night for my babies 18th bday celebration which equalled lots of cocktails and food. Thought my 3lb weekend gain was from that but may have also been because I was due on so on that basis I am hoping for a good weeks weight loss!

How's things going for you susie? Xx
 
They're going well at the moment. Feel really in control so just hoping it lasts. Keeping myself to myself this weekend so then I will have the 1st week under my belt. That should make it easier to carry on afterwards.

Fingers crossed for weigh in x
 
Well 1st wi and have lost 6lbs. This brings me to 12.1.4.
Have to stay on track this week if I want to get back into the 11's thats for sure!

Overall feeling better already. Can see it in my face and neck. Also redid my measurements, arms, under bust, and tummy are the same.
Hips and thigh are still slightly bigger than pre hol but only by an 1.5inch combined. Hopefully if I can get back to my lowest weight of 11.8 that 1.5in will be gone. Xx
 
Well done Natalie, excellent result. Another week on track & you will be back into the 11s x

thanks susie, have to say not been feeling it today and am struggling so think an early night is in order.
Had to take painkillers last night as my dreaded tooth ache is back :(. Really though it had been sorted but is hurting again!
 
Hope you are feeling a bit better today and that toothache is behaving x
 
Thx ladies.
Tooths not too bad it's more the facial muscle ache I get as when I'm stressed at all I grind my teeth in my sleep. Have had a teeth guard made which has helped to ease it :)
Am very close to the 11's but I always seem to linger when crossing over the stones lol.
Still not going to weight till mon as am hoping this will keep me on track all week xx

Glad that your toothache isn't as bad now. I had this problem last year, very painful tooth caused by grinding. All the stresses of life eh?! Hopefully having a break from eating has helped. :)

Well done on resisting weighing, I'm a serial daily weigher and it can alter your mood if you don't see something you like on the scales, I think you'll definitely be in the 11s by Monday. Then hopefully it's plain sail nice and close to the 10s before Christmas. :)
Have a good evening.
 
Oh goodness I don't think I'll ever be in the 10's lol. Early 11's I'm generally a size 12 so am happy at that weight.
Tooth ache is the worst that's for sure.
Before my hol this year I was weighing daily and did later my mood each day which is why I decided to go back to weekly weighing as any loss is a bonus really x
 
Spectacularly fell off the wagon today. Just bit feeling it, tired, down and fed up :(
