Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

Think it was the wine as I haven't had a drink in months, so think I poisoned myself with the alcohol! Only had about 6 glasses, but DH felt ill as well & we're both so used to not drinking.....serves us right lol!
When I had my last neck op, I woke up with this pain & wasn't in any pain from the neck, just this horrid thoracic/scapula pain, so I've had it for 16 months now! I've had physio & now seeing a Chiropractor (which Im paying for!) I saw a pain specialist last month & he told me to go back on the neuropathic pain meds which is helping, but it seems to be getting worse & Im back on strong painkillers again.....I am beyond fed up with it.
Yes, you're right Deb, I'll have to forget about cycling for the mo & just walk Charlie



Im certainly feeling sorry for myself Vicky, so lets both grump together lol!
Codeine Phosphate will bung you right up, so a good combination is Senna & Bisacodyl.
Is the Codeine Phospate helping with the pain? I take a drug called Co-Codamol which is Codeine 60mg & Paracetamol 1g......try adding in some paracetamol with it if the codein isn't helping on its own.
Curry was non existant which we were well peed off with, as walked a mile to the restaurant & it was fully booked, so we went somewhere else. Im now suffering with my feet as had new shoes on, so got a load of blisters lol!

Doesnt sound like things were going your way!
Ive been taking the codene and paracetamol alternate every 4 hours. Its been ok but woke up really bad today. Might b because it was the first night sleeping without the slibg on tho. Also last night I didnt have my sling on n slipped on the stairs n stupidly put my arm out to catch myself. Was the worst pain ever and didnt even put any weight on it!

It doesn't sound nice with your neck kim :-(

Ouch, that'll smart a bit!!! Your painkiller regime sounds a good one, as you're getting something every 4 hours. Are you taking any anti inflammatories as well?
Have you got much time off work?
If you're anything like me, the last thing I want to do is exercise when Im in pain, so it will just be long doggie walks for now.

Yer got ibreprophen as well lol. Im like a walking pharmacy! I got 2 weeks initially but reckon I will need more cos I get pushed all over the place at work and I don't want it knocking. Gonna go back to docs next week n try get longer x

 

[lilprincessvic]

I actually do want to exercise but oh keeps telling me off. I was squatting last night n he shouted at me. Think he just doesn't want to see me hurting again x

 

[debtin]

Douphinoise potatoes are made with cream & cheese Deb!!!!!!!!!!

i know they look lovely too lol. don't want to bin good food but will see. could have savoury rice with cut bacon thru it suppose.
hope you ladies are on the mend soon x

Haha, I rattle when I walk with so many pills! Its probably best you get as much time off as you can, to make sure you're fully recovered x

If they weigh different stop weighing donna!!! Thats how I ended up getting in a huff n falling out with group cos I weighed myself before I went n my scales said different!!

This morning I am in agony. I havent slept well at all n my dog jumped on ny shoulder twice during the night.

Im also having issues going to the loo. Only been once since surgery. Does anyone know if that's normal? It's really hurting my tummy :-(

Has everyone enjoyed the sunshine this weekend? We have loved it. Been messing in the garden n noticed that our grass seeda have started to grow! The garden was a mess when we moved in and we have tried to sort it out. We r making a little lawn and a vegi patch n we got a green house. Even with the snow we have garlic and pototatoes actually growing in our patch n we have all sorts in the green house including purple sprouting broccoli

I dont let them bother me because I know they weigh heavier, I've never tried to work out the difference either so its not like I'll ever weigh on them and think well that means I've gained this much or lost this much, I never even remember how much I weighed last time I weighed on them, I just do it for the sake of it really. I weighed again when we got back from town (after going to the toilet at the dentist) and looking like a maintain or small change either way. Will only know tomorrow obviously.

Think it much be pain meds bunging you up, sorry you're suffering today, hope it passes soon.

Morning Ladies
Went out for a lovely meal on Friday with a few vino's, spent all day in bed feeling sick on Saturday only drinking water & yesterday went to work in the morning & then had a choccie/cake fest lol! So this morning I feel like s***!
Im also getting a lot of pain in my neck/scapula region, so no exercise til I see the Chiropractor tomorrow & he sorts me out hopefully. My next appointment with the Pain Specialist isn't til next month, so I'll be self medicating til then walking around spaced out lol!

Feel your pain with your shoulder Vicky! The pain meds are probably stopping you going to the loo.....what are you taking, coz if its codeine based that will bung you up. I always take Senna when I take a codeine based drug, so Im in the same boat as you at the mo!

I very rarely drink now but when I do I make sure I also drink loads of watet, I find it stops the hangover

Just had my first Aldi Harvest Morn cereal bar in over a year - was certainly not as bad as i remember and will definately be buying more. I am trying to cut down and have had one cereal bar, then i will have homemade soup and a salad at lunch and pineapple with apple for 3ish. The only thing is i have some food for dinner that needs eaten up but shouldnt be too bad - may not have them depending on what OH is having. Dauphoine potatoes - not the correct spelling lol
i am trying to find a balaance between eating what is right and sw friendly and leading a fairly normal life. Back on excercise yesterday - had a lot on my mind yesterday so took it as a rest day.

I really like the aldi bars... not had one for a while as been getting the Bakewell hifis while they're om offer.

I know what you mean about getting a balance, I love sw but need to live normally too, we should be able to eat something a little naughgyt without feeling guilty all the time.

yes that is what i am trying to achieve. cut out the over eating and do sw as much as possible. i may end up not even having the potatoes but i don't want guilt especially if its part of fairly good eating day. just unsure as to why i am always so uncomfortable when at my desk. every work day i feel awful...maybe trousers digging in lol

 

[lilprincessvic]

How was the dentist for ur boy donna?

Has anyone ever done hypnosis? Im finding its really helping with my cravings x

I think that's fair enough, we need to stop beating ourselves up about these things.

It went okay, he was really good and let him look. He seems to be getting another abscess so he has anti-biotics for it, but because its the same tooth as before they've booked him in to have it removed in a few weeks, as they don't want it to effect the big tooth growing underneath. So a hospital visit and a fasting day for us both on Wed the 24th (he can't eat after 8am so I'm not sending him to school as they have snacks and things and I don't think its fair to not let him have anything when others are, I'll also not eat anything until after when he can have something as well, as again don't think it will be fair to eat in front of him.) good news is the rest of his teeth were checked as the dentist said any others which look like they might cause problems should be removed at the same time rather then putting him to sleep again but they're all good so its only the one they're taking out.

hope your wee one is doing good donna. wee soul x

 

[debtin]

day five of shred done..noticed difference during the dreaded cardio today. still feeling blubbery but was pleased ;-)

 

[donna88]

He's doing fine thanks Deb, he was tired and a bit grouchy earlier so obviously feeling a bit ill with it all. He's looking forward to the hospital though and a visit from the tooth fairy, he just keeps thinking of odd things which are concerning him though, like earlier he just stopped and said ''but how will I eat after they've taken my tooth out'' it took us ages to convince him that one tooth missing won't stop you being able to eat. Then because I'd mentioned the form saying he can't eat hot food after he got really upset because it meant he couldn't have pizza hut because pizza is hot (we're thinking we might have pizza for tea the night before as its my brothers birthday)


Glad to hear your noticing a difference, I do love the shred, maybe should have done it while I've not been running this week... but seemed pointless as I'll be back to running tomorrow

I am new to slimming world and this forum & have just got myself into the 9's! My goal weight is 9st 0lb but of course if I can get into the 8's I would be even happier!
Quick intro; My names Kay I have 2 children of 2 & 4, I had always used to be around about 9 to 9lb7oz & could eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight, even after having my two children, but I got ill December 2011 and lost alot of weight due to lack of appetite. It turned out I had Gallstones so I had my Gall bladder removed in Feb 2012. A year later & I have put on alot of weight & finding it hard to get the weight down, this is all new to me as I said I never had to think what I was eating before!
So here I am and loving Slimming world so far!

Nikki- Congrats for expecting a baby, do you know what you're having?!

Vic- I see you have not got long until the big day! How exciting!

Deb- Your poor boy! How old is he??

Hello to everyone else!

Welcome Kay, congrats in getting into the 9's!
Do you have to avoid certain foods when you have no gallbladder?
Slimming world is great and the only eating plan where you don't feel restricted, there is always something you can eat when hungry! I love it, lost baby weight on it and have been maintaining now for 5 mths.

 

[lilprincessvic]

Welcome kay

 

[donna88]

I'm sure he'll be fine, glad they decided to take it out, as it has caused him so many issues already... which is weird when all his other teeth are fine. The antibiotics seem to be working already, he's much more his usual self today.

I wouldn't worry about weight now nikki, just be g
healthy and worry about weight when babies here. Jus enjoy the end of your pregnancy

Welcome kay good luck on your journey.


Sat waiting in now for the windscreen to be fixed, we noticed a chip on Thursday night, called on Friday to get it fixed, they said it would be between 9 and 12 today... got to half 12 and we had to call, got told they had a lot of mobile jobs on and they'd get the bloke to call us, he called at one saying it would be between 2 and 3... still no sign! Better not be much longer I have to take the car out about half 4 for sw and running
