so I just found this message in my folder... What the (*(*&^$#................... I don't get on this page very often.... I can usually be reached through my regular email: FUN2BKRISTINE@AOL.COM

tell me, how are you doing?

Hey there,
Thanks for the face washers, they turned out really well!! The purple does go with the little owls

Tyler, thank you so much for ur responce to my post. I agree with EVERYTHING YOU are sayin' 100%. I regret the sleeve because I have not felt "well" since the surgery I was a recluse before, and even more so now as I just don't feel like getting out of the house. I expected some changes but did not expect to feel this bad still @ this stage. I did start seeing a therapist last week. But I don't get how a therapist is going to keep me from being malnourished. I'm doing the best i can for now. Just find myself looking forward to the end of everyday in hopes the next one is better. Not even worried about weight loss at this point. Just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Sorry to be such a downer...

I stopped by your place today at 11.30 and you werent home. I'll stop by again tomorrow morning

Ok I have a docs appointment in the morning on Monday so i will stop by afterwards

Let me know when i can visit....

Hello missy, how are you. How is everything going for you? I am going back to optifast shakes this week to kickstart weight loss again. Yeah i know you are saying yuck how could i? Haha. Anyway just wanted to write on your wall thingy here. Xoxoxo

Hi there, Let me know when u would like a visitor....

I'm glad you tolerated it well. It's easy to make I will come over for a proper visit when youre free and I'll tell ya how to make it

Oh that sux the anaethesist fees are expensive...what health fund are u with as I claimed my refund pretty much straight away didn't get much back though. It's going to be hard for you to consume enough food to get your protein in until your sleeve is sorted n functioning properly. As for the naughty foods I've noticed that too and you can get a lot more of it in then what you can the protein. I guess that's why they call them sliders as they don't seem to fill u up n u tend to eat more often as your not satisfied with wat u have consumed. Whereas it only takes a small amount of protein to give you that really full filling thus that's why it's always protein first so that their isn't any room left for carbs or the naughty foods. I make sure I get at least 60-80g protein daily I'm already losing hair and don't want to lose too much more. So if I don't get enough protein from food alone then I will add a protein supp just to reach my numbers. Your calorie intake is really low too so don't be surprised if your weight loss stalls as your body will be shocked into starvation mode and will hold onto every bit of fat for dear life. I really hope this is the last time you need to get dilated that sounds like the biggest pain in the arse. So sorry that you have had nothing but problems since ur sleeve but try n stay focused on getting past all this. take care Hun thinking of you x

Hi good to here that you r doing a lot better and beginning to try out some other food choices. If you don't like fish there is still many high protein choices etc mince, chicken,steak. A shepherds pie would prob go down ok just add a bit extra gravy. It's good that ur tolerating eggs too as they give you a few different options as well. I have no problem getting enough protein in just with the right food choices the only time I use protein powder would be at breakfast when I add it to yoghurt. I've bin stuck on 98 kg the past couple of weeks as I got an ulcer on the sole of my foot and have been told to rest it. So i cant go walking as it puts too much pressure on it and walking is the only exercise that I will do lol. I've noticed changes in my body and fitting into an 18 so it's all good. Dr talbot prob hasn't talked bout goals with u yet as he knows how much trouble you have had n prob doesn't want to overwhelm u at this stage. I've bin a bit nawty this week had a few things I shouldn't but they didn't do any damage on the scale. Yes that was nice of Sharon to do that for you she is very considerate. Anyway hopefully you keep moving fwd and who knows I might get down the gong one weekend and we can all go for a coffee or something.

Hey there just ring up his receptionist and ask her to get him to post a script out to you as if it helps you with nausea then you may be able to get more down. Glad to hear that you think it's getting better and who knows things may still sort themselves out fingers crossed. You should think about the antidepressants their only small tablets but they do keep u calm n more focused. It's great that your trying more food and their is options when you go out just go for the entree size and just eat the protein part of the meal I usually have grilled fish and remember your the customer so you can request how you want your meal. So if your at an Italian restaurant for e.g just ask for a small bowl of spaghetti sauce no pasta etc. for example the other day we were at the markets and I asked for a hamburger patty with melted cheese on it. Eventhough the guy was surprised he made me what I wanted. Seafood is a good option when out low in fat and good supply of protein. The photo on my avatar is the most recent I'm only a few kilos down from that so don't really look any different. I lose a couple of kg's then I stay at that weight for a week or two gets frustrating so I need to try n resist weighing myself or at least limit it to once a month. I saw Dr Talbot not that long ago and don't have to see him again until in January which is great as looking for parking is a major pain in my lily white arse lol.

Any improvement?

Geez your having a hard time of it hopefully it will get sorted soon as its dragging on and I can't blame you for being upset it must feel like a nightmare. Do let me know how you go and don't worry if you can't make it to lunch it's total understandable besides there will be other times. Hope everything goes well will be thinking of you.

Hi how did your appointment go with Dr Talbot and how's everything going? Hope it's all improving for you.
