what i have been eating..

[trimlee]

Hi Nicki, how are you? I noticed a couple of days where I would also eat like crazy. I think we are at points where we can almost predict what the scales will say the following week. Basically we now KNOW what to do to keep the weight down (although doing it is another matter!). I like the slimfast bars too.
Nicki, we'll succeed!

Hi Nicki, big hugs, sorry my laptop powersupply has died, waiting on a new one. Hope you are doing well, I'm on 810 so eating salad and fish and all that good stuff loving it. Lost 2lbs this week, so I am happy enough and not feeling deprived. xxxxx

hair loss is still just as bad at the moment ! quite scarey!

have done really well until today! every time i eat bread it makes me more hungry so i think it is something to be avoided, i went for subway today whilst in town shopping for new clothes so decided to eat that for lunch ! ever since i have felt sooooooooo hungry lol, i am not stressing though,can't be perfect all of the time, good news is that i HAD lost one lb lol until the naughtiness today that is, would imagine i have gained that back in bloatedness !! going out for a chinese and drinks on saturday aswell for my birthday so that should be fun, in for a gain next week i think.oh well, i wont stress over it, i know how to keep it under control now, for me that is cutting out the carbs and sweet treats. xxxxx hope you are ok hun

it's working out what works!! Everyone's different but you're doing brilliantly so enjoy when you do eat and don't feel guilty about it.

have been pretty good this week - just measured myself and have lost another 5.5 inches (have had to dump one pair of jeans - my friend wants to burn them on the bonfire on bonfire night!!) and WI5 tomorrow so fingers crossed!!

have you been to do dr's Nicki? Sounds really painful - so sorry you didn't go out on your birthday - hope you're able to make up for it soon x x x

 

[nicki26]

i havent been to the doctors yet, to be honest i am scared!!!!

when i have had the pain i keep saying 'i will go to the doctors tomorrow' then the next day it has eased again so i dont go but i am going tomorrow regardless because it is getting beyond a joke now. sometimes i dont get it for a few days,even had a 12 day gap between getting it but it flared up again last thursday and had it on and off friday and saturday and part of yesterday,still feels tender now.....just want to go and get it sorted out now whatever it is...

thankyou xxx

Forgot to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY arty0011:

Hi Nicki, happy birthday. Sorry to hear that you have been in pain. You might need to let your Dr know about your diet if he asks. Best to get your health sorted first and take it from there.
I hope you feel better soon Nicki -and a delayed celebration might just mean a bigger celebration when you're ready for it!

 

[nicki26]

thanks, i will tell the doctor that i was on lipotrim as i think it is related to the diet and eating again as the pain started on day 4 of refeed....

jillian, maintenance hasn't been 2 bad at all, as for the gallstone thing,just wait for your results and take it from there..what symptoms do you get ? to make them suspect gallstones because a couple of people have mentioned to me that it sounds a bit like gallstones.

good luck hun xxxx

havent really been following the diet since last thursday so expecting a big gain this week but it isnt a worry right now,am worried about alot more important things...

 

[nicki26]

been to the doctors today '07/10/08' my doctor seems to think that i have gallstones and is going to arrange an ultrasound scan to confirm whether it is or not, if not see what else it is.....not sure how long this will take but it can't come soon enough because when this pain flares up boy do i know about it.

he just said as i have lost so much weight so quickly and where my pain is it does sound like gallstones...we shall see

oh no! Mind you they can do keyhole surgery now - my mum had it done and recovered well as did my friend (who discharged herself the day after the op which i wouldn't recommend). They're definitely better out than in! Look after yourself - low fat diet suits gall stone problems x x x

Hi Nicki

Not been around for a bit - work and hols.

Firstly Happy Belated Birthday!!!

Sorry to hear you've been in pain. It does sound like it could be gallstones - which unfortunately are more common in women, if you are overweight or lose weight rapidly!! In fact the surgeons use the following classification - the 4 Fs - Female, Fat, Forty (or thereabouts) and Fertile (pre-menopausal) Damned if you do, damned if you don't!!!

If it is the treatment is usually by removing your gallbladder through laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery and is a very simple op (work in medical sales and have watched tons of them!!) or by breaking the stones up with high intensity soundwaves - process called lithotripsy.

I'm sure they'll sort you out. If it is gallstones - when you get the pain it won't be because of what food you are eating that day.

Gallstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article suggests that at the onset of an attack - drink cold water to stimulate the bile, or take magnesium followed by a cup of coffee.

Might be worth a try as it might work and if they are not gallstones - it doesn't matter.

Good luck with it

Carol x
