Happy New Year everyone and thanks for all your posts in my absence.

OMG it's been so long since I last spent any time on here apart from the WMR page that is. Soooo much to catch up on, just as well I'm on holiday for a few more days

Anyway catch up in a nutshell I've been feeling rotten and in mega amounts of pain from the adhesions left over from the peritoneal dialysis I had before the transplant. On the good days it's painful and on the bad it's agony and can never predict which it's going to be or what triggers the bad days or how to stop them. So I've had lots of investigations in hospital and am no further forward so far. My next appointment is Thursday to see surgeons about an op to remove or divide the adhesions so here's hoping. Between the pain wearing me down and the not sleeping and still trying to work and run my mum back and forth to hospital too I've been too cream crackered to do much else. I also feel that I'm not getting proper nutrition from what I do eat because of the gut problem and that is not helping my energy levels at all. So in the end I did nothing for Christmas as couldn't eat or I'd be sick at that time. and stayed in and had a quiet New Year too. Real Party animal me. Oh how times have changed.


So enough of the pity party, time to perk myself up a bit one way or another, so I'm going to have a go at the slimpods and see if the positives work on me. I'm going to go for short term goals initially cos I can't really think past getting the adhesions dealt with atm. So with assistance from the lovely Jackie here's my goals.

1) I will listen to my pods daily
2) I will write 3 positives daily
3) I will eat mindfully

Positives to follow.

Aw thanks Jo, I just wish the hospital would get me sorted and be done with it, hopefully. How've you been? I've got so much catching up to do.

Positives for Tues 1st Jan 2013

Listened to my pods on a continuous loop for hours (Was asleep through much of it though but hey)
I ate mindfully - was aware of every delicious bite of my traditional Ne'erday meal of steak pie followed by trifle. And my Tia Maria laced coffee after that. Happy New Year.
I stopped at 3 choccies as that was plenty!!! They were lovely too!!

Looking forward to my second day of podding this time round.

 

[shenzi]

Looking good PP, hope tomorrow is as successful xx

Silly question... What are pods? They sound intriguing lol x

Not silly at all. They are CD's or downloads of voice recordings each 10ish minutes which you listen to each night or more often if you wish and set goals for your mind to aim at. They do ones for slimming, exercising, choccie addiction, sweet tooth, and loads more like confidence and relaxation.

Have a look on their website Thinking Slimmer, home of the unique Slimpod weight control method and there is also a separate forum on minis for it under slimpods. At least three of the ladies on the website are also on minis and 2 are in the slimpods section that I know of. Let me know what you think and I can give you some more info cos I tried them before but sort of half also doing SW which I think fought with them a bit.

Positives for 2nd Jan 2013

Listened to my pods again overnight and for a while once I was awake.
Ate mindfully, still probably too much as full signal came later,
Did a bit of decluttering and tidying. Haven't felt up to doing much of that for a while.

About to switch the pods on again for the night and hopefully I'll be chilled and relaxed for my hospital appointment tomorrow, (well later today really. )
