Good luck with the surgery and recovery <3
0.4kg weight loss this week
I have to give advance warning that I’m not sure when I’ll next be able to post my weight again. I’m having surgery on my foot next Thursday and have to wear a surgical boot for 6-8 weeks whenever I’m standing. So it’s going to depend on me being able to balance on the scales with the boot on and then weighing the boot, to be able to subtract it from the result!
Started 115kg 9thMay’17
Today 87.6kg 8th Dec’17
Total lost = 27.4 kg/4stone 4lb
There is some redistribution going on. I bought new trousers a few weeks ago with a 34" waist (down from 40" at diagnosis last February) and they were a perfect fit, but they are now "hanging off me" and I have to wear a belt or they fall down! I probably should have waited another few months before buying new clothes!
Mid week weigh-in is seeing me as 118.90kgs so a tiny rise from friday but....it is Christmas and treats have been around a few weeks now. Seeing dietican week come thursday, the 21st december, If I remember rightly.Staying at 118.60kg this morning. Very swollen thou. Up due to indigestion and forgot asthma meds before bed. Been up 2hrs and hoping to return to bed asap. Very tired and have to go food shopping today. I need sleep first.
Very happy with weight loss this week. Hoping for a steady weigh-in or a loss next week.
Thinking of you @Contralto !My edema is back, so kinda concerned about that . It is hard to know whether you're dealing with a massive weight gain or not. Sonow I am weighing daily, and if there is edema, weighing morning, noon and bedtime. Scary eyesight problems too, instant retinolpathy, macular leak and it is hard to trust a retina specialist who can't make eye contact with me
too much typing half blind
You may get a surprise. Try and go with the flow. Just keep testing but just remember your body will get stressed due to op. Nothing you can do to counteract that but rest then when able move as much as suppose to. Take hospital advice on that. Diabetes has to wait til your able. Test and watch out for a carb craving. Make low carb nibbles handy. Don't buy carbs nor ask anyone else too.I thought I’d put a post on on a Wednesday! Not being rebellious, just posting before my foot op tomorrow. As I said last Friday I’m not sure when I’ll next be able to balance on my scales.
Not looking forward to my blood sugars with stress of op plus I’m getting a steroid injection in my other foot
Anyway here’s my stats, amazingly I’ve lost 0.6kg since Friday!

Just had a call from the hospital, my op has been postponed as the hospital is full. I’m gutted
Thanks for the link. My first appt for this op with the orthopaedic consultant was in June so they have already breached the 18 weeks with tomorrow’s date. 18 weeks was end of Oct. The trouble is I’ve used this hospital for over ten years, this is the first big upset I’ve had with them and I trust them. I was a nurse in the NHS until Aug 2016 so I can see it from both sides, if they don’t have an empty bed they can’t create oneOh no, Rrachox - I was just about to wish you good luck!

Thank you! I’ve amazed myself! In the past I’ve tried all sorts of diets but low carb has been really successful for meRachel, thatis an amazing weight loss. It took me three years to just lose 19 kilos
Added 2lb this week which is good as I've been for my Christmas dinner party and treats are all over the house.Staying at 118.60kg this morning. Very swollen thou. Up due to indigestion and forgot asthma meds before bed. Been up 2hrs and hoping to return to bed asap. Very tired and have to go food shopping today. I need sleep first.

But you were taking weight adding meds throughout?Rachel, thatis an amazing weight loss. It took me three years to just lose 19 kilos
It's funny but I've took heart from mine too. Some really really stuggle with maintenance.Hi all.
Another week of maintaining for me. Have really been struggling with more hunger so my planned one meal a day days are rarely happening. However, this does mean that I have inadvertently found a good combination of eating that will allow me to maintain my weight once I’m done losing (but protein levels will need to be tweaked as BG slightly up).
