Such a good feeling to be in double digits -go for it!109.5Kg down 1.2Kg from last friday, first goal post reached. Next goal is below 100Kg.
Funny enough I had very little diet lemonade too. I've drank no added sugar diluted juices more. Water on it's own just isn't appetizing to me. It's imperative I keep drinking, for my kidney's sake.Yeah now I have lost 1 kg for the first time in very long time , I still keep track of my calories and have a hard time eating very low calories ... But I am increasingly suspicious that it has been my drinking of high amounts of Pepsi max that has hindered me in loosing weight , I had 4 month where I drank a lot untill my dentist told me I had acid damage , now I try to avoid drinking this kind of non food and suddenly I am again able to loose weight , it is not a scientific fact I must admit but I makes me wonder how much damage these artificial sweeteners might do in our bodies
78.5 kg now
Well done everyone. We have the determination and will get our targets. I need to keep telling myself that because I have an horrendous craving to go to the coffee shop at a certain book store I know for a pot of tea and a slice of cake. It is soooo bad. I had hoped I had overwritten that psychobabble programming with a treat myself to a packet of seeds brainwash.
The good?!? news is I have just returned from the hospital. I need two hip operations. Waiting time for the first is 5 months and there is no pain medication able to manage the pain. Help!!!
Today I start step 3 of pain management. Codeine 30mg. Maybe that will help in conjunction with the light reading the hospital have provided me with including the exercise programme and the crutches.
I weighed myself first thing at 73.4. Same as last week. I should be jumping for joy at the thought of making progress by getting on the list for the operation but I just cannot think of anything to be happy about.

I have tried and failed twice before, both times I got stuck at 102Kg mark. However, I didn't have the same incentive last time.I loved getting down below the 100kg mark!
Thank you for the kind thoughts. I think distraction techniques are the only solution. Just concentrate on something/anything else. Trouble is I cannot. I have tried researching pain management and the arthritis people have made some lovely suggestions but everything just seems to depress me more. I am sure the examination has had some impact on the discomfort and pain. I am told painkillers lose effectiveness and because they are opioid I could become addicted. Reasons to be cheerful seem elusive.Sorry to hear about the need for the ops. Hope you are able to find a way to at least manage the pain.
Thank you for the positivity. I know quite a few people who have had it done without complication and never had a regret. My mum had problems both times (I blame that particular hospital) and says we wishes she never had the second operation. I have been thinking about chopping my own leg off so I am pretty certain I will never regret having it done. It cannot happen soon enough. Apart from my perplexity about the high energy drink before the operation to aid recovery it should be ok. Hubby can even bring in food allbeit a mister roth chocolate bar for breakfast. I shall find out more on the pre op course which must be quite intensive because it specifies everyone, especially diabetics should bring our own food. The whole thing just makes me wonder why bother about what I eat. When the diabetes gets worse I can have some medication and maybe I will be lucky and avoid complications.Yes it is hardly anything one can look forward to , But most end up being happy for the operation later on try to keep up your spirit
I think you will do it this time. Low carb diet will make all the difference. I don't high fat because I've plenty of my own which needs dispersing. Ha haTazziT said:I have tried and failed twice before, both times I got stuck at 102Kg mark. However, I didn't have the same incentive last time.
My mum had a hip operation about 10yrs ago. She was fused because of calcification of arthritis. She has been travelling and been very mobile just til recently. She now needs her knee doing so she is adding weight as movement painful and off putting to move, much.Thank you for the kind thoughts. I think distraction techniques are the only solution.
