Constantly dizzy- back from the wilderness

Just got back home from hosp. It wasnt pleasant, but not as bad I as had expected as I was sedated and was only aware of the very end bit really as the sedation had started to wear off which made me gag and was quite painful removing the gadget.

They told me before leaving that they did find a sliding hernia?? but I need to come back to see the consultant to discuss the results and what next.

My throat is sore and im real hungry but my tum is complaining from being prodded and poked....so next doors dog has got a reprieve (lucky for him)
....tho I must say you are very creative with your menus Kirsta :8855: PMSL x x

so its just sloppy weetabix for tea and the mcdonalds strawberry shake that OH got me on the way home

Im NOT checking the syns until tomorrow... I think Ive been through enough pain for one day :rolleyes:and they do say ignorance is bliss ;)

Off to get my Jamas on and veg out on the sofa watching the soaps and other random crap on the telly tonight....the excitement may kill me :D x x
 
Morning All

Still feeling a tad delicate today in the throat/tum dept so Im taking it easy with the food... My Mcd milkshake was Fabbbbby but OMG just looked up the syns 25!!!!!!! :eek: I can claw that back tho as Ive no plans to do anything so its no real hardship to have a pretty synfree day today.

green day today
Brekkie just rice & yog (yeah I know Im real brave after last time LMAO) but I made just 1 portion and ate it straight away!

Lunch ? pasta n sauce or HM veg soup

Tea as above

My HEBS & HEAs will be weetabix for supper & milk and mad cow in the pasta not sure about the other B yet

I do feel better knowing that they have found definate cause to my tum probs, rather than just having to go along with random flare ups all the time......but just want to see the consultant now before my hol if poss so I know whats what IKYWIM.

when they said they had found a sliding hernia I had visions of this little furry gremlin type thing running round sliding up and down in my belly having fun - then turning nasty when I ate the wrong thing......wierdo :8855:

Doing sweet FA today just being lazy and pottering....maybe a spot of ironing (god I hate ironing:mad:) and trying to sort my wardrobe out.....Ive actually got some stuff thats too big !! :D OH is at golf so I may as well make myself useful for a change ;)
 
Afternoon All

I seem to have been a little lax in updating my diary over the weekend :rolleyes:

Im back eating 'fairly normally today'....but the last few days have upset the old....ahem... bowel dept and Im back to waiting for dyno rod to pay a visit :(

EE today and increasing the water a lot to try get things moving :eek:

will post my food log later on gotta go to physio now....catchya all later x x
 
Back on plan properly from today. Am all rested up and Im over the scare of my seizure :eek:

I just had a banging migraine on Tuesday(nothing new there)...thats one thing I get a lot of since the 1st brain op-Pinderfields neuro team see me regular with my diaries to try manage these with drugs and trigger avoidance.
Anyway it went thru the usual run of lights and sickness and pain....then I dont know what happened next as I came round in hosp as Id taken a tumble and banged my head,so OH had rung the ambulance, seemingly I'd had my 1st seizure:eek:. Got a lovely shiner :rolleyes::cry:

Anyways Im gonna do my best to catch up on everyones diaries and to keep up with my own too.

I didnt make WI this week either so nothing to report there. x x
 
HI fellow flab fighters

Im back on board with my head in tact and and ready for tonights scales of Doom:rolleyes: not sure what the results will be....ive not expectations either way this week *week as well and Im not beating myself up over whatever the result is...tho a little bit of a loss would be rather nice :) Ive stayed on Plan - with the exception of the 2 hospital days (and I did have to get a few off plan treats brought up from the shop :eek:)but nothing majorly stupid....within syn...just.

Im not spending so much time on here ATM.....short sessions (dont want any more funny do's before my holibobs :D) so I'l catch up on you're Diaries as soon as I can. They think tho it was just one of those things....Id had a mega migraine brewing & the sedation drugs from the endo could have been a trigger too....still scarey tho x x x
 
Good luck for weigh in CD, good to see you popping in for a quick hello!!

Massive well dones for staying on plan!! Esp with the hospital and everything!! Your holibobs are coming up really quickly now!! you must be so excited!! xx
 
Busy Day today.
Just back from Physio....called in at Asda(before Physio just in case I felt too sick after lol) to stock up on 2 for £3 melons, mushy peas & beans....Im superspeeding this week! OH is slightly concerned as he knows the effects mushy peas have on me :eek:

Its mighty windy out there (without the Mushy peas LMAO)....I had all on keeping on my feet :rolleyes: and Im glad to be back inside, My Hometown topped the charts yesterday & today with the windpeeds on the news (funny that were getting in the news loads lately for the weather...we had the most rainfall in one day not long back, and the most snow in one day - well thats my claim to fame for the year :D)

Well WI was a lot better than I could have wished for. A 1lb loss :), I'd talked myself into accepting a STS or even a gain seeing as its *week and being in hosp (with the associated medicinal naughties that found their way up to my bed from the hospital shop :eek:) but I guess staying on plan the rest of the time paid off :D

so it was big whoop whoops when I got on the scales with my very helpful friends who get ready to grab back hold of me as soon as the scales register so I dont fall on my Aris :roofles:

Im on a mission this week to superspeed it up as much as poss to get my 2 stone shiney before my hols.

So Im thinking its going to be mostly green days (meat seems to set my tum off more than any other thing and its then I have trouble swallowing....vicious circle) and Im a bit fish phobic :eek: but I might try and have some of that yellow fish (bleugh:cry:) one of the days if I get brave

So its mushy peas beans melon rasbs and combinations of :confused: yeah I havent quite thought it through yet LMAO

Right Im off to have a think

Oh we have to go for a meal tomorrow for his mums birthday and Im thinking that might stuff things up a bit, but Ive had no syns at all for 3 days so Ive got some to play with....Or have I ? it was WI yesterday so its a new week now...OH BUM!!! I SAVED SYNS FOR NOTHING :mad:
Thats stuffed it even more as I was going to have 10 syns on a panini for my tea to cure my PMT - what now?????:break_diet:
 
Hi Hun

Im not feeling too bad at the mo....My tum is amazingly good (sods law seeing as im seeing the consultant on monday) and Im back to normal after the scare with the seizure....except the shiner still not completely gone yet :eek: nothing that a bit of concealer wont sort out tho.

Were going to a place called the Grouse Inn at Oakworth tomorrow evening. (I dont know how to do link things) but there is a website and a menu there if you want to look and see what you think.
 
Re: constantlydizzy's food diary

Just had a quick looksy....I love traditional pub grub. Shame it's jot that healthy though :(

I'd either go with the roast and just eat as much meat as you can without feeling rotten. Or the veggie risotto, usinga hex a for the cheese and then some extra syns.

The other alternative is have what you really want and just try and keep then syns down for the next few days?

well I ended up being naughty last night :rolleyes:
I had the tipsy chicken (brandy&cream sauce) :eek:
OH said he would share a chocolate fudge cake with ice cream - Everyone else had ordered all 3 courses and were looking at me like I was from a different flipping planet because I'd only got a main :sigh: ...It was all his family there and I didnt want any more embarrassment - seeing as they were all sat staring at my DALEK EAR :D BUT....he ate really slowly and I think I had a wee bit more than him (well if im really honest I think he only had one or two spoonfuls - If you snooze you lose :p)
oh and I had my 1st drink since my op in march :eek: a half glass of wine....how very naughty with my meds lol :p

Anyway it was really nice so sod it....Im back on plan today and superspeeding up all week to try minimise the damage, I'l also cut back a few syns a day and see what happens come WI day.

Right off to chop some melon up and make a mushy pea curry for tea now. x x
 
Glad to hear you had a good time at your meal hun - and that your tummy is being good!!!

Dont worry about being naughty at the meal, so long as you enjoyed it then it's not 'wasted syns' so call it a flexi syn day and move forward!!

Good luck with your speedy week hun and well done for your loss!! xx

Update on the Tum specialist visit......
Its def a sliding hernia that ive got (which is not a little gremlin type thing running around creating havoc in my belly as I had imagined
redface.gif
) apparently Its a part of the top of my stomach that pops out of a 'hole' at the top as and when it feels like it and then pops back down again :confused: probable cause - all the sickness from the constant vertigo attacks.....and being overweight
frown.gif


Soooo Ive got a choice - they can operate and repair the hole...and then do something where they wrap the hernia bit around my oesophagus (sp) and fasten it so it cant move.....but its a biggish op and means liquid diet for so many weeks after-and sometimes they make it too tight so you cant eat properly and it has to be re done...
frown.gif

Or I can just see how I go for now on the meds, as losing weight can reduce the symptoms - as the stomach has more room to be where its supposed to be, tho it wont make it go away as the 'hole' is always going to be there. plus Ive got my big magic ear op coming up and thats quite important to me at the mo too.

Im not going to have many places left for them to cut up at this rate
redface.gif


Either way I cant do anything until after my hols so I go back to see him in the new year.
