i'm going to have to take off the sticky strips when i get home as half of them are peeling off but the one over the cut isn't and i have no idea how i'm going to get it off when it hurts like this

Aw poor you. I cant stand things on my skin. It really freaks me out (another weird quirk of mine) i always pass out when i have to have a needle or something.....and any op that i ever have, the worst part?? The drip. I want it out. I try and take it out in my sleep. I cant stand it.

Funny. I take off rings and things in my sleep too....weird.

Hope it feels better Just pull it off and then have a cry

Perhaps you could have a soak in the bath before you take the plaster off, it melts the adhesive a bit.... then rip it off quick!!!

am sure it won't hurt much... just be uncomfortable... but i'm going to do it now and i'll let you know how it goes...

don't want to soak it in the bath... don't want to get it wet until i can see how much it's healed over as i don't want the sod opening up again...

well it's off and didn't hurt but it's really peculiar. i thought i would have a scab line, like if i'd had a deep cut, but there's just this slit-like hole in my skin and it's red inside... so i think i need a plaster on it to keep it closed until it's healed more so it doesn't get infected.... so odd... it's just really sore in general though, and should be better now that the sticky strips don't keep half peeling off and catching on my clothes and tugging at the sore bits...

How did you hurt your arm? I must have missed that post

She had her implant removed. xx

it's ok. i have the sticky bit of a plaster on it holding it together now hopefully i won't get a strange scar, but the cut is just under a cm so hardly huge she did a good job. just wish my skin would knit together now, ha.

tucking into pasta with laughing cow light and mushrooms mmm

Goodness I'm thick

Never entered my head the doc would have to cut a hole in your arm to get the implant out
Can't you tell we don't do implants where I work!

hee. well it didn't come out as easily as it went in but it wasn't bad at all. it's just sore now...

am off to bed now guys. i'll see you in the mornink!!

Hi Abz
Hope it feels better soon...

I have a date for my first dress measuring ..finally get to find out what size I am at the moment....
Sat 11th April....very scared now but excited...... 11 days to make a difference

you've already made a massive difference honey!! am so excited for you

my arm is still sore but has another plaster on it this morning. no sign of the skin knitting up so i'm not entirely sure what's going to happen to it... ah well, time will tell...

2 lbs of the 6 lb gain gone, but am still 14st 4lbs... grrr. i'm never going to get below 14st, however it is possible that totm is drawing near. i am not the most regular having had an implant so it's a bit of a guessing game, but that's my guess

am at work. am planning on writing (FINALLY) some of my wedding invitations in my breaks today

Yes well I cheated on my first Atkins week...so Im now planning to be amazingly well behaved for the full 11 days and then you never know...Atkins has been known to do miracles in 11 days...

It might be water retention abz have you tried aquaban??

Have you been measuring since you started...you might be loosing inches?

I know these are the typical responses on the board but hey you've done so well too... and you make me believe that if you can start at 16st 10 and get to he 14s so can I x
