Ahhh thanks for all your thoughts and good wishes. I've had my scan this morning it will about a week to get the results from the GP. The technician read the referral from the GP to me, it said pains on right side and check for gallstones, she was a bit surprised when i told her that i had my gall bladder removed in 2009!! She did the scan, she couldn't see any stones lurking in the bile ducts so that's good as that can cause infections and can lead to pancreatitis, so that's good. During the scan she put the scanner thingy right over the place where it hurts the most, when i told her she said that was right over the bile ducts, but there are no stones, so god knows whats up with me!!
I deffo recommend going on a Sunday we were in and out in about 10 mins didnt even get a chance to sit in the waiting room!
Wasnt allowed to eat or drink before the scan, so me and the OH went to MacDonalds, hes got chronic toothache so only managed to have an orange juice and i had a black coffee, never thought that i could go to MacDonalds and not have at least a happy meal lol, the coffee and the scales this morning made me happy though!! Dropped another pound this morning which is fab!!
Went for a stroll around the local outlet village, just for a nosey really, not to buy anything in particular, i saw a gorgeous linen dress. Tried on an 18 and a 16 and they were too big!! I asked the assistant to get me a 14, she said oh they are generous sizes, aren't they!!?? The flaming cheek!! Anyway the 14 fit perfectly, and i dont care that they are "generous" sizes the label says 14 and im sticking with that!!
Had a bit of inspiration last night after reading about chicken liver pate, thanks Mon, made it last night but only had white wine, so put a bit of that in, blended it in the food processor with the quark and left over night in the fridge to set, OMG!! its wonderful, had some for lunch on Dukan garlic and mushroom bread.
Off out this afternoon for a singing rehearsal, the choir are singing at the Albert Hall in November, should be fun!!
Enjoy your Sunday!! Collette x

The waiting is the hardest part.. Hope it's good news anyway!
Well done on the pound off, generous sizes my a*#@. Leave it to a lame shop assistant to (try to) ruin a perfectly good high! Don't let 'em get you

Hi Colette, have been reading your diary and am getting much inspiration from your steady weekly loss. Sounds like you're not having a great time what with the pain you're in but at least the pounds are still coming off - you've almost lost 15% of your body weight - fantastic!
Will keep an eye out here as I'm hoping for good news from the scan i.e. something easy and quick to resolve.

me too copied the fishcakes, yum, sounds nice, I've got on tomorrows menu tuna patties, so I reckon they'll be similar.
ginger muffins sounds good too....hmm note to self, look for recipe LOL.
I know what you mean about always being in the kitchen. I've been making muffins and buns and freezing them so that helps. problem for me is that I end up having to make two different meals. Mine and then the families.
Ah well, it will be worth it in the end.

The fishcakes are really nice and only took a couple of minute to prepare, ive never made them before, ever!! always bought them lol. You can substitute with Tuna too.
I dont make separate meals they get what im having but i put potatoes rice or noodles with theirs. If they dont want it they make their own meal, which doesnt happen often.
Im not a whizz in the kitchen, in fact, ive only got into it since discovering Dukan, processed food isnt heard of in out house now, which cant be a bad thing. The recipes im using are the simple ones, although ive bought a piping bag to have ago at those choux pastry thingys, god im getting adventurous!!
Today is a good day, finished off the last portion of sweet and sour chicken for lunch with ff yogurt and some crabsticks for a snack this afternoon, porridge for breakfast for a change as i need to stew some more rhubarb, going to make tuna fishcakes and salad for tea tonight.
Work was so busy today and ive hurt my shoulder moving and handing, GP appointment going to be next week now. Cx
