Bedbound and Bonkers

Omg

Because of various health conditions I am bedbound and even when eating soup all the time I have been constantly putting on weight. Last time I was hoisted onto the scale I weighed over 20 stone and I was very upset.

Before starting SW diet on Saturday (yesterday) and eating more to lose weight (well I suppose it could happen lol) I was hoisted again

314 lb

...314lb...

😢

So so upset, but if eating more is going to help, or at least stop me putting on more weight, I’m going for this.
Might not be able to update as much as I’d like due to said health stuff, but as much as I can do would be great as it would be nice to look back on

...if the weight stops going on that is 😂😂😂

Anyway, yes, 314lb...

Weigh in day is Friday

So.... Bedbound and Bonkers...go!

😆

Good luck!
 
2nd day and it's easy as it was last time

...but just worried that it's not going to work again 😫

Hoping that now I can use the CPAP machine a bit more that it might work.

Everything worked at first... lost 3st on slimming world...a few years later 4st on keto diet... eventually my body just seems to say sod it and slowly start putting on again 😫

Not worried about the first few weeks. Seem to have put on a stone over the past few weeks and I'm feeling SO puffy so I'm prob carrying a lot of water weight.

At least that stupid hot weather has buggered off

Yay

💙
 
Pretty bad day today.

Last night was only able to use CPAP for an hour and even then had 45 events in that hour 🙄 (ok so it is better than 90 but 30 is severe 😫)

Carer took my dog out and let her get covered in sh** again so . Blech to that...

Pain has been as bad as my worst days recently which sucks but I got a lovely card in the post from my friend. Cards in the post are great for me as I can't have friends visit as it makes my health worse 🙄 Cards can also be re-read too so yay for that 😁

So not all bad 😁
 
Bad night
Breathing bad. Ugh.
Weigh in tomorrow
I'm guessing 7lb
Water weight of course
But less weight a good thing whatever for me/carers to move 👍

Well done Sam! .. well worth the effort methinks :0clapper:
Always good to break into the new stones mark isn't it?

Are you using MFP or something like that? The soup you are having is very high in carbs which won't help and some of the fruit as well.. but I think you are doing really well :woohoo:
I used to suffer from sleep apnoea as well .. quite frightening isn't it?
I have been ill during my life with rheumatic fever which had a bed bound period of several weeks so I can understand the frustration you must feel and especially if you have an allergy as well.
Keep up the good work.
 
Yeah 6 years bedbound so far

Yup I know about carbs I spent 18 mths on keto. Blooming thing won't keep my body interested either 🙄

Specialist said I need simple carbs at least so starting with that seeing how it goes after the first mth then reducing after that it's difficult when you have to plan your day around the carers who sometimes don't even get here it's stupid

What soup? I forgot I had soup 🤔

🤣

Anyway, yes, carbs for first mth then reassess or my specialist won't talk to me any more 🤣

Sorry but I must have been reading a diary of somebody else because I can't find it either! :classic_roll_eyes:

Don't mention carers who visit ... just after I was taken really ill my daughter arranged for carers to make 3 visits a day and on one occasion they called for breakfast at 10am lunch at 1pm and evening meal at 4pm!! When I phoned to complain I was asked why I couldn't have had a sandwich but I already had a sandwich for lunch!
I was originally told that I could only have freezer meals but after a while I found that they would make things like an omelette or poached eggs on toast .. in fact quite a lot of different things if they had time of course.
My niece is now working as a carer and I think that I can vouch that she is a good and reliable one as well .. it's not an easy job from the get/go and they do have a lot of problems to deal with.
I wish you well Sam.. I'm 85 thereabouts and I have had quite an active life whereas I expect you are a lot younger .. take care 👍
 
Managed it
And dinner so
No biggie
Just no breakfast today
Not end of world. Got in my hexes woo
 
Here's to feeling well enough for all three meals tomorrow. Hexes (sorry, it's been a long time since I gave slimming world a go) would contain protein would they not, so that's good you were able to get them in.
 
So not well.cant type well. Can quiz well it seems.lol.
Eating whatever is in front of me whenever I can
Is mostly fruit. Veg. Lean meat. Toast to hex myself up. Crewam.cheese on top double hex 😆
Very wobbly all but half hour every day
Will try to come then if I can
I like to friends xxx
