Just saying hi hunny xx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Thanks guys... roads where fine once I got out of being in the sticks!

Had my 3 month check up today & my first chat with a dietician bet you can't guess what she said to me.... yr not eating enough carbs, 55-60% of my food intake should come from carbs & that I'll never maintain healthy eating if I continue eating how I am!!

It does frustrate me how blinkered they are... I explained to her that nothing else works for me & that I have upped my carbs considerably since my op to compensate for my malabsorption but carbs still trigger the eating monster in me & how can eating meat, fish, dairy, vegetables & fruit be an unhealthy way of eating!

Came away feeling really flat as I really don't want to be doing whats is deemed to be right when what I've been doing has worked wonders!

Ok moan over. x

Hey hun. Sometimes we need to tell these people what they want to hear to keep them happy. Dont forget sometimes their knowledge can be very black and white and we all know life doesnt work like that. Dont feel flat hun feel slim!
Hows your dad doing babes?

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Hey babes... how are you doing? Did you see those boots I posted on yr diary?

Dad's good thanks babes, has finished his chemo & will go have tests to see if the cancer has gone in the new year. He's doing brilliantly tho & is on top form.

I've got to go see my GP & get a scan done for gallstones, they think I might have some with the pains I've been getting. x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Ouchie sorry to hear about the pains, Linz, good luck with the doc, but great about your dad

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Thanks Suse... had heard that gallstones could be a risk but never really thought my particular aches were more than just aches!

 

[cherl889]

Awww hun. Let us know how you get on. Glad your dad is doing well, ive got everything crossed for him. I hope the new year brings him good news.
No hun i didnt see the boots.........what page are they on? Ive brought 2 pairs of purple so far but keep seeing more. Somebody stop me..........please????? Anyone............No.........Ok then.........Dear Santa, i really have been a very good girl!!!!! Pmsl

 

[Quak]

Glad to hear your Dad is doing well Linz, and I hope it is all good news in the New Year and ouchy on the pains, hope it isn't gall stones but at least you know it can be sorted if it is xx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Thanks guys... I have a feeling it might be, it feels like my kidneys are burning & I have pain up in my shoulder, perhaps should have done something sooner but just figured it was aches & pains, cold weather, flueyness & an age thang!!

Will ring GP tomorrow in the hope I get maybe get a scan before Christmas... looks like I'm gonna have to go low fat for a while as that helps apparently... altho red wine is proving very beneficial right now. x

 

[Quak]

YAY for red wine

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Abso'bloomin'lutely!! xxx

 

[Spinoza]

Aw Linzi, how can the dietician gripe at you when you're losing loads of weight? What more do they want???

Hope the pains turn out to be just pains and nothing more, and hurrah for the healing power of red wine.

 

[Curlz]

Aww hunny..i hope yer ok and not in too much pain...((((hugs)))) take it easy chuck xx

 

[LVLLM]

Morning sweetheart. Great about you dad - still keeping fingers crossed for good news in the New Year x
re the dietician - they probably have guidelines and no matter what they think personally surely they just have to follow these government guidelines (thats what they say about carbs and since they have look at the obesity epidemic!).
I do hope the gall stones dont turn out to be - sounds painful, but my cousin had them and yes low fat helps.
And red wine always helps xxxxx

p.s. i got some mulled wine sachets to make my own carb friendly mulled wine might have to go get some wine tonight i cant seem to stop drinking at the moment!

 

[cherl889]

Morning all. xxx

 

[clarri]

Hi Linz,
How are you doing today. Boo to the gallstones, but better to find out if thats what it is.
xx

 

[tazbabe]

just catching up....sorry to hear you're not feeling to good, hope it soon passes, gallstones are horrid, had a bout of that myself many moons ago, very painful!

and your dad, good he's doing better.

all hail the healing powers of the red wine!

Hi Peeps...

Thanks for yr lovely comments... had a fab day in town getting a new outfit for a couple of do's I have this weekend, OMG took me forever as I had absolutely no clue what size I was & was very daunting!!!

Had a real shock when I tried on stuff at how different my body was, was a very pleasing day!

How are you guys??

 

[LVLLM]

Ooh Linz - what did you get? and wow on the size bet you had to take a couple of sizes in the changing room
